No, I don’t live in either of those countries, so have never been called up there.

Google is the biggest creator of bot traffic on the internet with its crawlers, not to mention what they do to train their AI. I bet this won’t block Google’s own bots.

The best inflation is zero. The second best is slight inflation. The third best is slight deflation. Because they can’t control it that well they aim for slight inflation so it doesn’t go negative.

Inflation. The money you have is worth less every year by design. It’s a secret tax on all of us.

Aren’t hospitals mostly free? Or tax payer funded.

Definitely not good, but very cheap https://lowendbox.com/

Is this just in America? Or worldwide?

Wireless charger for my phone. No more fiddling with cables.

Some little wireless ear buds. I just got cheap ones but I use them all the time, they’re small, the case charges them, so they last ages. The sound quality of mine is mediocre, but I’m sure there are ones with better sound.

A clown. They’re pretty funny

I love solar, but this article is misleading. It says ~2000 people died as a result of the Fukushima nuclear disaster. While technically true, only 1 person has died from radiation related to the event. The other deaths were as people were evacuating the exclusion zone (eg. Old people who couldn’t get medical treatment during the evacuation).

They are. You can get an atto 1 for 25k AUD. Lots of options in the 30-40k aud range. A petrol corolla is 32k, so they’re comparable.

EVs are pretty cheap now. How cheap did you think?

I find that now I listen to a much broader selection of music. If anyone recommends a band I’ll listen to their album. In the past I couldn’t afford to buy the albums of every band someone else liked, so I stayed in my lane (musically) with what I listened to.

I remember in the 90s when you had to buy CDs and DVDs (or VHS). It was awful. You couldn’t afford much so you had to be stingy in what you watched and listened to. At the time I remember dreaming of endless content options that I could try. Streaming is that dream. The fact that the shitty companies are making it worse and increasing prices doesn’t mean the streaming subscription model is inherently flawed.

I guess if you follow that line of thinking, bill gates is a victim of a blackmail attempt. All spouses of those implicated are victims because they’re partner cheated on them.

I think when they talk of protecting victims they are referring to the girls and women who were trafficked and forced to have sex.

A victim of your partner, yes. But not a victim of Epstein.

How was she a victim? Because of the alleged sti? Yeah, I guess you could look at it that way.

What’s the context for this? What country?

I listen exclusively to 96kbps opus and it sounds perfect. Not sure if 75kbps would be noticeable.

Public speaking. It always comes in useful.
