I still have my X6, with the modular numpad you could stick to either side.

Although nowadays I only use it for my test bench at home. That thing was truly ahead of its time.

Be sure to invite all of your like-minded friends, as well as that weird one uncle who still believes in QAnon - it’s hole -some fun for everyone.

Don’t miss out, it’s going to be a blast!

Oh yeah? Well, I heard that the real Epstein List, the one implicating the Clintons, Soros and Obama (and not the fake one that’s like 30% Trump) is buried under one of those trees.

Git your shovels, boys!

Dude’s being sarcastic, you know that - right?

I think it has just as much to do with the decline in population, impacting overall demand, as it does with not seeing housing as an investment- but rather a depreciating asset.

In Australia, at least in terms of housing - those in the know, tend to want to avoid new builds due to the sheer number of cut corners, sub-par materials and lax regulations.

Homes made in the post-asbestos, pre-2000s are highly coveted as a result.

Honestly, should send them with AirTags or similar hidden inside and track their progress - would easily get to the bottom of who the culprits are.

Just have the recipients of the shoes return successfully delivered tags in a replay paid envelope for a refund/credit.

As a non-American, I find that whole concept absurd - and that’s before learning of its ties to monarchy!

Qualified immunity; because there is no explicit guidance against police “shooting blonde, female Australian news reporters live on the air while covering an LA protests against ICE on a weekend” - he will be let off with a stern talking to, and a wink.

This door is giving me FEOR & ENXIETY

Are there any region-free 4K blu-ray drives available? I’m asking for a friend.

DON’T BUY. GO RENT. BROKE? SELL.

Oh, absolutely!

My morning caffeine clearly hadn’t kicked in because I stupidly forgot to circle back round to that point. 🤦🏻‍♂️

Ultimately, my biggest worry is that Trump’s absolute piss-poor understanding and implementation of tariffs has very likely ‘poisoned the well’ to the point that they could probably never be successfully implemented in our lifetime by an actual competent Government - assuming the US ever gets another chance to elect one ever again.

Smart, specific targeted tariffs paired with grants/incentives to American companies to foster local production of critical goods (think CHIPS Act) can be a good thing, if they are done in such a way that it doesn’t send an entire industry/market into financial shock.

Like, if you want to onboard silicon wafer manufacturing (as a prime example); you would announce a small tariff to start off with, and a clear road-map of it increasing over time - allowing time for companies to build the necessary infrastructure and manufacturing capabilities onshore.

Once the industry has settled and matured, those tariffs could begin to be slowly pared back to ensure that free-market competition continues to keep prices in check.

But this would only work in an actual free-market economy, and not in the oligopoly-in-a-trenchcoat that currently exists in the states.

Yeah; we’ve got one too - primarily for when you first get out of the shower. It’s really good for drying the soles of your feet, so you don’t slip on tile - and the water evaporates very quickly.

NY Mag article review

My personal use devices are all some variation of Pingu (eg. iPingu, Pingtendo etc.), and my NAS devices are based off Pokémon puns (Storlax and Archivysaur currently).

My wife on the other hand is boring, so her’s are just system default.

Until Samsung (in particular) actually deliver on their stated promise, I’ll remain skeptical.

Especially as less than a year ago iFixIt had to terminate their relationship/agreement because Samsung failed to deliver on their promises to aid in end-user repairs.

For all their myriad of flaws, Apple at least has a proven track record of providing long term security and feature updates.

A long time ago, I had a pair of Puma shoes that had a similar look to F1 driving shoes, and they were awesome due to their light weight and thin soles - ever since then I’ve a convert to that style of shoe.

Maybe consider the Onitsuka Tiger Mexico 66? It’s a timeless design with plenty of colorways, so you should be able to get one that suits your tastes. They are also available in mid-runner form in case you want more of a boot fit (padded ankle).

Y ES ❤️

It really is a spectrum, you’re right - some products definitely taste worse than others.

Pepsi Max tends to taste better because it uses a combination of Acesulfame Potassium (Ace-K) and aspartame (ie. Equal), whereas Coke/Fanta tends to just use aspartame.

I personally find erythritol to be the most neutral flavour-wise, and without that laxative effect in the event of over-consumption.

Stevia definitely has a herbal after-taste that not everyone finds pleasant, but it can/does have its place at times.

Maltitol on the other hand, is the tool of the devil - and I would only wish it upon my worst enemies.
