THAT’S HIS OPINION. Don’t attack someone else’s beliefs, bro.

Lemmy is still so starved for content that stories get posted where they shouldn’t, and submissions are still dominated by a handful of accounts.

(you’re right)

~225km/h is pretty fucking fast. Damn.

UK doesn’t work like you think it does. The PM is not a publicly elected position like in the USA.

You vote for the party. The winning party tells you who, of their elected members, will have that role. The party can replace the PM on a vote.

it’s like the speaker of the house in the USA. Remember all the voting and stuff the Republicans did earlier? Similar.

I think you need to find out what kind of connection you actually have. I mean, it’s unlikely you’ve got a dedicated ethernet cable to the ISP.

Where does that ethernet line actually go?

Have you run some basic traceroutes, at least?

I hope you’re well stocked on your vit D supplements.

“why are so many parents bad parents and/or messed up people in general?”

That’s a big can of worms you’re trying to open, GF.

as much as we all hate Liberal voters*, and gentrification and rising prices - Byron Bay is ground zero for hippy anti-vaxxers and the resurgence of measles in Australia.

So… I’m torn.

* for Americans, the Liberal party (capital ‘L’) are the conservatives. Basically, wannabe Republicans. They’re economically liberal, not socially liberal. That is, like all conservatives, they like wasting government money and giving liberal amounts to corporations.

jeezus you really are dumb as hell aren’t you?

no.

covering up to protect against skin cancer has been so successful that for a while rickets were a concern in parts of Australia.

don’t stress - they’re being disingenuous.

you again. 🤦‍♂️

the only thing inside Russia scabbards is a note that says “IOU 1 sabre - loves and kisses, Russian oligarchs”

I’ve run cables between floors, down stairs and such. Stairs make things easier, because you can run the cable across them without tripping anyone, or needing to cover them. You can wind through bannisters to avoid using tape too.

Also, you should only be running one cable, and putting a switch at the other end.

for funsies, look up the “bobbit worm”. It’s a marine worm that hunts fish.

then, check out its scientific name. It’s a worthy surprise.

Q: why is running a cable across the house not an option?

it’s not length, since 30m should be enough for most mcmansions.

it’s not cost, since cables are fairly cheap. Cheapest option there is.

you run along wall edges, taking the long way if you have to. When crossing open areas, you lay a rubber cable protector over the top (or a strip of carpet with a gutter cut out underneath), to stop tripping and make it look nice.

absolutely agree with the mesh wifi. Two stations, one at your NAS, one near you. They’ll form a direct high-speed link between each other. Zero effort. Faster than Powerline ethernet, and most other options.

until they did.

There’s an exact replica in Esperance, Australia.

Why? Good question. Good question.

Check out Bill Bailey’s Australian Adventure, episode 1. It’s on Channel4.

but he identifies as very smart aktuly.

Thailand has been so weird the last couple of years.

Super-pro tourism and foreign investment (ie. Russians pouring in in tens of thousands).

Legalising weed (more dispensaries than 7-11s or Starbucks combined).

Now reversing that?

Now legalising same sex marriage.

it’s like they’re opening up in an ultra-capitalist way. “What is the most left way to make money?”

This is a very cynical POV, and is not accurate. But it looks that way. It’s only an issue as these movements make the country vulnerable to economic exploitation.

To clarify what this has in common: there’s a LOT of money to be made in weddings, and they’ve just made the country even more of a wedding tourism destination. (on top of domestic wedding spending)

All that said, for this topic specifically: good for them. this is fantastic news.
