I heard about a guy once, who was a POW, and his friend wanted him to keep a watch for his son so he shoved it way up there.
The reference for the younger among us.

Our small company paid a prominent (of that specific driver) open source driver writer for prioritisation of some work more than once. All the code was GPL.
I know it’s only one data point but it’s one way.
I know, right?!?
I have actually heard about that. Google “gutter oil” if you want some nightmares. They are working on food safety hard though.
Yeah Western China is basically empty. It’s very mountainous and the land is not fertile.
I mean, it’s still a largely rural country
Not so. Wikipedia has a decent article but here’s the crux of it:
By the end of 2023, China had an urbanization rate of 66.2% and is expected to reach 75-80% by 2035
The cities are massive and really densely populated. Shenzhen and Guangzhou are about 90 minutes apart by car if memory serves and account for about 35M people. Hong Kong is an hour south of Shenzhen by train and that’s another ~8M.
I’ve spent a decent bit of time there on a few work trips. Never saw differentiation of eggs in supermarkets (or restaurants). Eggs be eggs.
A huge number of folks are just coming into non-poverty since the turn of the century so it would seem entirely plausible to me that chicken comfort wouldn’t be a thing there just like it wasn’t in the west until comparatively recently and still isn’t for a huge part of the population.
Apart from that it’s really very different culturally. They just view things through an entirely different (and interesting) lens.
OK, looks like it’s probably Red Bull.
“Red Bull is a well-known energy drink originating from Austria.”
I had to search this one up it’s so bizarre. “Flavoured water” covers the following:
“Waters, including mineral and aerated waters, containing added sugar or sweetening matter, flavoured; other non-alcoholic beverages, not including fruit or vegetable juices”
So it’s very broad really. Still bananas.
Some days, I even think maybe I might be a good person too
You sound like a good person to me. That level of self reflection rarely / never leads to being a shithead in my experience.
Crazy story but a very interesting read. Thanks for sharing.
He is a massive liability to them now that the political mask is off. He really needs replacing.
Oh this looks great and I haven’t seen it yet. Thanks for the recommendation.
Just switched from Nova to lawnchair about three days ago and I’m very happy with it.
You might be interested in lawnchair. It’s open source and based off the Google launcher (AFAIK) but you can remove the search bar and other things.
The one on f-droid is two versions out of date. Latest one is from their website:
Australia has mandatory voting which is an interesting one. Quick search tells me the last turnout was nearly 90%.
Serial killers everywhere taking note at the excitement levels in this thread.
That’s fascinating. If you don’t mind me asking what percentage would you say were angry? And where were you knocking? (Approximately).
I worked in a call centre for a summer (no hard sell but it was an awful job) and location and politeness were directly correlated.
I’ve only had one JW call to my door. I’m atheist a long time now. Well over thirty years but we had a very nice interaction. He called back a second and third time, bless his heart.
Yeah it’s hugely popular. According to that article the 14th highest-rated show of all time on IMDB. It was an event for my kids when Disney started releasing the last part of season 3 weekly on a Sunday a few months back.
It’s also a very easy watch as an adult tbh. Like some kids shows are brain death to have to sit through for a cuddle and this is definitely not one of them.
On a recommendation I recently watched Adam and Paul. It’s a good movie but a hard watch.
It was billed (to me) as a dark comedy. It’s far more dark than comedy but a very good movie. I had to scour the internet to find it.
I also watched Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes and really enjoyed it. I love that franchise and I think the newer movies have been done really well.
Well I am delighted. €13.1B + the 1.2 in interest represents what will be a bump of 16% of total tax revenue compared to 2023 (€88B total). There are lots of things that money can be used for.
