Should one sympathise with car-supremacists?

Scientists testing deadly heat limits on humans show thresholds may be much lower than first thought

Yet another moment since Labor’s re-election where I think “Ooh, Albo’s going mask-off!”.

Please let’s have minority governments, our electoral and political system is ideal for it!

Oh, I agree. I don’t think it’s a particularly useful reference page – more of a biased agglomeration on a substrate of preconceived opinion, but the initial pile-on of downvotes without comments felt a bit like the usual Mozilla-fanaticism.

I tend to upvote posts not because I agree with them, but because I’m interested in people’s responses to the ideas within them.

So many downvotes…

I’m only about 10% in (and just skimming), and it’s a rant but it’s coherent and well-reasoned.

Starts off as a dive into Mozilla’s rank hypocrisy and doublespeak around privacy.

What are your tips on glasses? I choose standard uncoated lenses nowdays after finding that anti-reflective/anti-scratch coatings often scratched easily or had an optically-rippled surface, but maybe things have improved?

The footwear, or the logic gate arrangement?

If that’s the main problem then that’s easy to solve! Simply use a free public xmpp server.

I mention the self- and paid-hosting options because businesses tend to like having a sevice agreement backed by a contract, and may have additional specialised requirements not provided by free services (xmpp or otherwise).

XMPP. A business can self-host, there are public servers, or there are many businesses which offer customised xmpp hosting as a service.

I can be federated with other xmpp servers or be a locked-down work-only service, or federate with chosen other servers (such as a client company’s xmpp servers).

If you’re having trouble getting dry chickpeas (or other dry legumes) to cook properly, sometimes it’s not your process at fault, but the legume itself. The older the legume, the worse they cook.

Ideally <1 year since harvest, ok 1~2 years, tolerable 2~3 years; all depending on how they’ve been stored, too.

But yeah, nice fresh dry chickpeas, soaked for 12-24hrs with a pinch of sodium bicarbonate, should cook to a lovely texture without a pressure cooker in 40-60 minutes.

And how to make it:

An excellent discrete maths textbook for those missing the inclusion of the subject in the course: Discrete Mathematics - An Open Introduction, 3rd edition by Oscar Levin

Some 4G phones don’t support 4G calling correctly or with all networks.

Check whether your phone actually uses 4G (VoLTE) for calls – to sort-of test this, make a call while connected to mobile data and note whether the signal meter’s 4G indication drops to 3G(H+/HSPA) or something during the call.

A more insidious version of this issue is that some phones do VoLTE just fine, but only use 3G for 000 calls.

Some phones only support VoLTE with some networks. There’s a chance that an appropriate firmware upgrade could add support for some network/device combos.

The part of an espresso machine where the water passes through the coffee. Called a brew group in the automatic machines (and they can get mouldy and horrible). Should at least remove the shower screen or filter screen from the group and scrub out the old rancid coffee tar with a cloth/toothbrush.

Pouring a shot of plain water should smell and taste like clean excellent hot water.

Figure out how to pull apart the group head to give it a good clean (at least removing the shower screen). All machines need that occasionally, work machines get absolutely rank.
