I’m on an annual Boost plan, it came out at roughly $20/mo and 14gb. But, it’s on the Telstra network.
I know it’s twice the price of what you’re quoting, but there’s more data and being Telstra. Calls to Australia, USA, UK and NZ are free. There are other countries but those are the only ones I cared about.
That’s interesting, is their issue that you scraped their data? If so, then fair enough - that’s technically their intellectual property.
If you have people going into stores and getting the prices, I don’t believe they’d have a legal leg to stand on.
Don’t tell my kids, but I don’t really want to get up at 7:30 on a Saturday to go and watch them play hockey. I’m tired, it’s cold, wet and I’m not really having fun.
I might be getting my first new computer in 14 years later today, so I have something to look forward to.
Oh, inside our building is fairly steady. Temprature is set to 23°. I purchased a little digital thermometer that I have at my desk. It was only 21° on the thing first thing this morning before the building filled. But, it’s back to 22.9° right now.
Would love to know WTF building and facilities actually DO.
This will boil down to money. It is loads less work for them to arrange proper repairs and improvements to building facilities, as that really reduces the number of maintenance requests they get. So, they would want to make sure everything is repaired and serviced etc. But the building owners put limitations on that - can only spend $x on improvements and $y on temperature control etc. Then, they stand between the tenants/employees and the owners to shield the latter group from complaints.
I’m enjoying hearing people complain about the cold around the office. It’s presently 18.5° and sunny in Perth. Yes, it was a bit chilly this morning, but nothing like what Melbourne goes through.
I guess it always boils down to what people are accustomed to.
Both main political parties have introduced sweeping gun reforms in my lifetime. Do they just flip back and forth over whoever introduced the latest set of laws?
I think this one was surpassed by X-Wing Alliance.
That’s a good point. They didn’t word it like that.
We are writing to you today about an upcoming change to your Prime Video experience. Starting July 2, Prime Video movies and TV shows will include limited advertisements.
But also:
We will also offer a new ad free option for an additional A$2.99 per month* that you can sign up for here.
I think I still would have cancelled had they said ‘we are increasing the price by $3, but you can stay at the current price and get ads’. But I believe that’s how Netflix would have worded it.
It depends on the parents. We let our kids go off together a lot more than most parents. They both get themselves to school, and have done so for years. We’ll let them go off to the park unsupervised etc. Older kid goes off for a couple of hours at a time on bike/train adventures. Yes, his phone has tracking on it, but he leaves it home a lot and honestly I ever used it the first week to verify it was working.
Just cancelled my prime membership. In truth, I haven’t been buying enough from Amazon to justify it, but it isn’t something I think about all that often.
Then they emailed me last week saying “hey, we’ll be introducing ads to Prime on July 1st”
Yeah, nah. I can’t justify that. What surprised me though is that it was moderately easy to cancel. I thought cancelling was needlessly complicated and they just got in trouble about that.
I kiss my sons and will continue to do so for as long as they let me. I can’t think of any other male friends/family that I kiss.
I don’t think I’d have a problem with being kissed, but it simply isn’t done. Hugs, yes. Kisses, no. I don’t feel a need to kiss any of them, which is pretty hypocritical since I readily kiss most of my female friends/family.
Interesting question. I can’t say I particularly wish that kissing my male friends/family was more socially normalised. But I’d probably embrace the societal change if it came along.
You can’t get your whole shop at Aldi. It’s great for what it’s great at, though. Aldi’s home brand is a class above the home brands of Colesworth, but tends to be priced at the same price or even cheaper. I usually get eggs, cheese, yoghurt, brekky cereals, biscuits, snacks and some veges there. Yes - basic ‘white’ staples.
I would likely get more frozen goods at Aldi, but when I do the grocery shop Aldi is the first stop. I don’t want to be roaming around for another hour or two with a trolley full of melting food.
I’ve read that people did this for centuries: went to bed early, woke up for a few hours around midnight and then had a second sleep to the morning.
I don’t know whether that’s really true, but it certainly matches my personal experience. If I go to sleep early and I’m not completely exhausted, I’ll wake up around 11 and be awake for the next 2-3 hours. I am usually up past midnight so this doesn’t often come up.
You really should complete that last sentence. 45 what?
I am both amused and irritated. Diversity is massive in IT. Until very recently, I was the only person in my team actually born in Australia. Now 2/13 of us were born here.
Whoever is hiring IT people should be able to cope with your name.
Strong endorsement for the Pharaoh exhibition!
If you’re there all week, its half-price on Friday.
I’m still trying to figure out the point of it all, personally. But if this is the sort of shit you’re into, then save it until Friday.
It’s an old Nintendo console code that Baku is about 20 years too young to have first-hand knowledge of. But it lives on as an Internet meme.
It’s funny, I keep wondering what tidbits of culture will go on as time goes by. I remember loads of stuff from the late 70’s and early 80’s that nobody else seems to relate to. Things like bits from the Paul Hogan show, “tiny Tina” (a 5-year old Tina Arena), heaps of songs and advertising jingles.
Other stuff survives. Like the Konami code. Why this code and not “IDDQD”? I can never predict what stuff will get retained.
8:40 and we still haven’t hit 10°, Perth is having a chilly start, also. We aren’t likely to get to 20° today.
You don’t need to memorize everything. It’s enough to know what’s possible. Once you know one language really well, all you really need to do is learn the way another language does the same thing. Google is your friend.
