FYI, it looks like you're hellbanned - I vouched this comment back from [dead]. Might be worth sending an email to the mods.

Edit: It's been since at least 2018?

Let's not forget the extreme environmental impact a dam has.

Which Arab countries?

Glad I wasn't making that up Hah! I think the main mistake they made was throwing these in the middle of shopping centres (similar placement to vending machines). If they had managed to get them integrated into a store, and made users feel safe, it might have been more successful.

That's unfortunate, they only recently rolled out prompts to push Android users away from their in-app always-on functionality to the built in version.

They had these out in shopping centres in Australia, but they didn't last very long. It's a hard sell, I think you needed to get down to underwear in the thing?

Dug out an article, didn't read, but the picture is the device I recall.

Ahh the starving child in Africa means any complaints are void argument.

Peole shouldn't be homeless, struggling to purchase food or other basics day to day, just so that the entitled rich of Australia can continue to increase their wealth.

I would go as far as to say, if a single person can't afford to purchase these things, there should be a drastic, exponential tax on all revenue until the situation is resolved.

Our higher salaries are a insufficient to offset the current cost of living, which is growing at a faster rate.

Our country is physically large, with a low population density. Unless you are willing to sacrifice significantly (ie. Access to medical care), your are obligated to live near one of our (few!) cities.

We sell our natural resources to foreign interests, who automate extraction and pay literally zero tax.

The social safety net is significantly below the poverty line, and is stagnant in the face of the increasing cost of living.

Ahh yes, the FedEx GST payment system is wonderful!

You can find that number in the sms on an official FedEx page somewhere or other - I ended up using that as enough evidence to trust and call.

I get the feeling this system as a whole doesn't see much use - from a FedEx perspective, the vast majority of people paying duty will be via some specialised importer, not b2c direct.

Ooft. 900 euro and a subscription.

You can actually stick this in your csproj. I'm on a phone, so bear with me, but roughly

    <InternalsVisibleTo Include="assemblyname" />

Which means you can do stuff with msbuild props, like auto including a `$(assemblyname).Tests` into your projects.

Imagine the things achieved if the money being spent wasn't focused on military applications.

That's an unfair extreme; there are huge ethical issues attached to the core basics needed for survival. A personal financial simulator has none of those.

Why not more? Is there another product that does this as well, for less?

Indeed, it suprises people that light aircraft generally have a glide ratio comparable with a brick, whilst airliners are generally quite efficient given the incredible size.

If you jump over to the actual site, https://effectindex.com, you'll see a much better description of each of these effects.

The site overall is quite nice to navigate - for the slightly lazy, https://effectindex.com/effects is an index of the various effects.

That's pagerank, right? The trust was built from href votes.

Fantastic game!

That's what a half-marathon is. The event is generally referred to by the primary distance (usually a marathon), and the individual may run one of several races in the same event (in this case, the half).

Your 265 can be mounted as a usb drive, as can pretty any Garmin device for maybe 10+ years.

They moved ages ago. Imgur massively limits bandwith for NSFW images.

Significantly different use cases. Battery life, physical durability, etc are all significantly better than a phone.

People who have information x, and were in location y (especially where y is not a common place for x holding people) will be a very limited set.

The ship has sailed, and you're fighting with an intense zeal that doesn't match the problem. Why die on this hill - are you reserving the "engineer" title for some purpose in the software field?

    Willing to work extended hours and weekends when needed

Noted.

Lawyer.

We had snow at Mt Kosciusko (Australia) in mid December, in summer. Whiteout conditions at the summit, and cold enough snow was settling on the ground at Thredbo. (search for UTK 100k race photos to see!).

It's bizarre that TikTok can genuinely determine roughly what I am in the mood for within a few videos, but Google Maps can't learn my preferences based on how I travel. The former seems far, far harder - and Google has almost my entire location history recorded from the last 10ish years!

They just updated the status page.

It's a common problem at large trail races. Enough so that it's one of the two things usually explicitly called out in the race briefings (the other is a reminder to not take ibuprofen).
