> It found that the so-called silent generation — those typically born between 1928 to 1945 — and baby boomers — born from 1946 and 1964 — will “hand over the reins” to millennials — those born between 1981 and 1996 — when they pass on their assets. Whatever, nevermind.

We got tricked by science fiction into thinking a futuristic city is all about flying cars and crystal towers and hologram billboards but what it really looks like is nice apartment blocks, good mass transit, pedestrian zones with shade trees and safe bike lanes.

Weet-Bix. None of the other brands are any good at all which is a great mystery since they're not exactly a complex product.

I've had a bit of practice packing for flights so I do okay but a few years back I was going to a conference that was close enough to drive to but far enough that I couldn't just pop home and it was hell to pack for, hours of paralysis "but what if I *need* this rain jacket? Or this angle grinder?"

"that's a learning opportunity" whenever someone whacks their head on something. "i'm not dead yet" any time someone tells me I've been doing something wrong all my life. "you can't make a chicken without breaking eggs".

I was doing some installation work in a factory on the night shift and contractors kept asking me to approve things and I had to keep sending them over the actual shift manager and when I said to him I didn't know why people kept asking me shit he just smirked and said "White fella. Clean hi-viz."

Apparently there are no plans to make right hand drive models of it so it won't come to Australia, but there is allegedly one bopping around Sydney as a promotional thing so it's still possible for Australians to lose.

I imagine this has already led to hoarding eggs so I'm looking forward to all the people who bought 12 dozen eggs farting themselves into another dimension.

Yep, get hold of a modulator (the antenna port is for RF modulated signals, not composite video) and then you can play the Cannonball music video through it and just for a moment be transported back to 1993.

1989's Macintosh SE/30L is remembered as one of Apple's biggest flops. MacWorld criticised its rotated L display as "...bringing all of the issues and none of the benefits of a true L display", while MacWeek called it "Some kind of deranged P display nobody asked for".

Yeah, I'm not 100% sold on the aesthetics of wind farms (come on, always tall, white and three blades? change it up a little!) but did you ever walk past an open-cut coal mine?

I'm sure Greg is going to cope well with his summer break being interrupted by the arrival of a small human being with, like, needs and stuff, and not just get totally bombed every night and be totally fucking useless.

I also have often wondered about this but I suppose that's why if you actually depend on corn for caloric intake you dry, grind and cook it.

There are other electoral systems, but the electoral system you have requires you to pick the least worst of two options, so until that's fixed that's what you should do.
