Seems like the same system Decathlon has been using since 2019.

All the workers clapped and one of them cried.

Would the Cybertruck still have finished faster than the Porsche 911 if it wasn’t towing the extra weight?

Sean Carroll & Jennifer Ouellette are trash hacks. They wouldn’t know quality if they where asked to write about it.

I tested with a valid email address. The result was ‘undeliverable’. More user pain for me…

Correct. The secret room would appear at levels 20, 30, and 40 if you didn’t lose a life.

I watched a video last night about how the special items are calculated. Blew my mind- I thought it was random.

No. Dying at 47 is fine by me.

Me and my sister (5 years younger) enjoyed the original Bubble Bobble on the NES. The mechanics are very simple. The MAME arcade version and the Lost Caves bootleg are both good.

It’s fibre from the home to your provider. New Zealand's current international connectivity is provided by three under-sea fibre optic cables with a combined total throughput of 73 terabits per second.

I was hoping for a retrospective review of Musk’s neck tie collection.

Fully agree. I switched to the web versions of Outlook and Teams about a year ago after problems with responsiveness, cpu utilisation, and excessive memory usage.

I had not thought about AirPlay or Chromecast. An isolated guest wifi configured on the router would fix that problem.

I wouldn’t say it’s a good way… how about plugging in a broken headphone jack- long enough to disable the speakers, short enough that it cannot be removed. Access to sound would require bluetooth headphones.

I guess if I was going to walk in the road with traffic.

> Do you wear a helmet when you drive inside your car? If not, why not?

Because I have a seatbelt, an airbag, and a reinforced shock absorbing shell around me.
