Maybe in Australia it has happened a bit later? Now they filter results so you see, say, fifty results then have to click to see the filtered out results and there can be 200 ones that are pretty much word for word what you searched for.
Then it auto corrects words and searches for something really obscure with almost no results, I have to go up to the URL and change the spelling so it finds what I'm looking for.
I saw one at a deceased estate and it looked freaking awesome!
All I bought was a few planes.
I should sell my 15" saw, I never use it.
They get a bad rap, but I'm not sure that they are any more dangerous than say, a table saw or a chainsaw (maybe even less so). Feels like one of those tools where a long as you understand the mechanics behind the operation, you can take steps to avoid putting your body or hands in the way.
Hahahaha!
That is all.
Because Nadella.Microsoft's Power Automate is a nice tool to have.
But why on earth can it create a CSV file, but not natively ingest and parse one out?
code words that married guys hate:
"There are some projects around the house that we need to get started on"
Translation:
I have a list of shit for you to do of annoying useless shit that would never occur to you as needing doing.

'I wanted to cry': Devastating risks of spray foam insulation hidden from Vermont homeowners - VTDigger
When asked how a homeowner could assess whether they’re hiring a high-quality insulation installer, Brent Ehrlich, a products and materials specialist at BuildingGreen, said, “I don't really have a good answer to that.”

Found this an interesting read. Shows how focusing on a single aspect of a multifaceted problem can be incredibly shortsighted and disastrous.
Years ago there was a big push(in Aus) to use recycled paper in roof cavities, but if you got a decent leak in the roof your ceiling sheets would drop.'I wanted to cry': Devastating risks of spray foam insulation hidden from Vermont homeowners - VTDigger

My MIL thinks they are a waste of money... because she hasn't used one in decades.
I bet I can guess how she votes.My MIL thinks they are a waste of money... because she hasn't used one in decades.
Solid logic, can't argue with that.My MIL thinks they are a waste of money... because she hasn't used one in decades.
They are.
I used to go to my towns library as a kid/early teen quite a lot, there was more than just books there.
And then I found that they had a entire video and audio tape library. For free. Didn't have to bug my parents to go to Blockbuster anymore.
I was the only kid in my hometown's public library allowed to borrow up to 7 books at the time (the default borrowing policy was 3). I kinda devoured them back in the day.
Jules Verne, Emilio Salgari, Ray Bradbury, Stanislaw Lem, Ursula Leguin... So many awesome stories, all of them waiting for me to delve in their own little wonderlands...
These days it has been replaced witha copiuos home library for those volumes I still enjoy having in physical format, and Calibre/Kindle/epublibre.org for those I want to read.
My latest rabbit hole is Terry Pratchett.
Beyond just books and movies, libraries support entire communities. 12 years old and questioning your sexual orientation or gender identity? Good chance a librarian can point you in the right direction with no judgement. Want to learn about cooking with traditional Indian spices but have nowhere to turn? They've got a class for that. Adults who want to play D&D? Come on down, the crew meets up on Sundays at 2pm.They are.

Not to mention they are frequently historic buildings with impressive architecture and woodwork. It's a delight to stroll through the card catalogues perusing a myriad of super specific but equally intriguing subjects, all while immersed in that unique library scent.
Removing 70 year old paint from split cedar shingles from a wobbly ladder is an excellent shoulder and core workout.
I recall a lot of backlash because most people considered them posers? Never really paid them that much attention TBH.
Their music just sounds very generic to me. Just a Canadian version of The Foo Fighters.
Cats again, arrrgh!
Yesterday a couple of Doves were lookin' like getting down for a bit of action in the backyard.
Today, Dove ripped apart by the neighbours' cat, yay.

Tried a registry edit to move the W11 taskbar to the left side but it doesn't work, boooo!
I really need to improve my calf muscles. After a heavy riding/jumping session my left leg ( being a goofy stance rider) is thrashed.
Local credit union is offering "Lifestyle Loans". Gotta maintain that influencer facade somehow, right?
If they won't pay $27/night for camping, what makes you think they'll pay for Photoshop?
Most of the budget is dedicated to the tri-tip steak dinner with sauted portobello mushrooms and chimmichuri sauce cooked on a Tembo tusk skottle, all the while washing it down with a craft IPA during the livestreaming on their vlog.
I'd rather have a burrito
Right, I have just finished leftover babyback ribs for lunch, and now I crave a burrito...
Great. Now I'm hungry for babyback ribs, tri-tip steak, and burritos.
why not all three?
Remember those dorks that tried to make offroad/extreme unicycling a thing?
jfc I'm glad that's dead
