Haha. I’ll own that. And I’ll happily try (and, no doubt, love) the Nutella concoction you describe - but I’m standing my ground and not calling it fairy bread! 😉

No, I mean… chocolate sprinkles?! That’s chocolate ant bread! Fairy bread is white bread, butter, and 100s and 1000s. Nothing else. Australia needs to introduce a Fairy Bread Purity Law to protect our sacred food.

Am I the only one thinking “that’s not fairy bread!”?

The XKCD one is interesting, but seems to be missing the transfer to/from the storage medium sent by FedEx.

If I want to move data from my computer to yours over the internet, the internet bandwidth between our devices/networks is the main consideration. If I’m FedExing SD cards or HDDs, I’ve also gotta take into account the transfer times to get the data ONTO those devices.

I wonder how the analysis would fair when taking into account:

• speed of internet
• TB/kg of storage
• storage medium transfer speeds

“There’s dead man’s signatures on this paper”

“What do you mean? They’re all standing right here in front of you”

bang bang bang

“See? Three dead man’s signatures”

Wow. I know Australia Post sucks, but this is bad even for them!

No, that was a different one.

I know you said “no nextcloud”, but I often see posts from people who say nextcloud was overkill for them, but they don’t realise that almost every component of nextcloud can be uninstalled if you don’t want it. It can be pretty barebones if you want it to be.

I don’t see how you’re going to get away from the domain requirement, though, unless you’re just going to connect to your raw IP address? (And if you are, I didn’t think that nextcloud required a domain?)

Sorry I can’t be more helpful with a different solution, but hopefully someone out there knows of something that would suit your needs.

I mean, the use of gene therapy does seem quite revolutionary, but the treatment only works for a very rare type of hearing loss (”some deaf children…”), and even AFTER treatment, the kids still have a “moderate to severe” loss (assuming the 50dB level they mention is the minimum volume heard). “Normal” hearing is around 20dB. ”…can hear”… a little bit more than almost nothing.

Yeah, unfortunately that seems pretty normal in a lot of places.

Sorry, I guess I should have more specific - if it’s a signalled pedestrian crossing, of course the signals need to be followed. I was wondering in the context of a crossing that only has markings, but no signals.

Serious question: are there places in the world that have marked pedestrian crossings (crosswalks), but vehicles DON’T have to give way to pedestrians?

I use DuckDuckGo, mostly. I don’t need my phone remembering my entire internet history, so I love the instant clear button. I tried Firefox Focus for a while, but DuckDuckGo go lets me exclude specific websites from the data clearing (DDG calls them “Fireproof Sites”), so I can leave some things logged in.
