government owned services are great, till the Liberals get in and sell them to private enterprises to make the budget look better.. Imagine if we still had government owned banks, insurance, utilities etc

I thought I read that Intel said this was from messing with voltages? I have had plenty of these processors in the last couple of years and never experienced crashes, but I don’t overclock

Sounds like they just asked every donor for their top unhinged priority and said yep..

What else would a performer in her prime be doing other than accumulating massive piles of cash by touring? When she was in Australia earlier this year they said ‘she was making 50% on merch alone’ , which was something like $100m.. so not including ticket sales

This is just normal left / right politics.. every country has it. One side builds and people get bored and new media love to stir shit, then other side comes in and sells / destroys / winds back.. people get up on arms and vote the other ones back in and the cycle continues

Mine was one of the first for our suburb, so they might have been a bit green, I am not sure. The bloke arrived and asked if someone had been here to do the underground lead in, nope... so he just did it above ground from the pole to a clamp on the side of the fascia board of the house.. I wish it had been underground, but whatevs... fibre

I have seen a few.. I started work at a young age as an apprenticeship painter for the railways, and when I was 16 I witnessed my first fatality and had to get down onto the track and cover the remainder of her body with a sheet, I saw another lady OD in a waiting door and have her boyfriend put her on the train and jump back off again, but I witnessed the OD… plus a couple of relatives

Love can hurt too.. I am going through a rough patch at the moment and I sometimes wish I never knew love because the pain of losing it is the worst pain in the world.. I don’t think that helps you much, but it is another side

Well when the CEO gives himself 25% of the companies revenue as his annual pay, it doesn’t set a good precedent for investment growth

I have noticed it too.. it is like propaganda. Why you should not wait and buy that house now, house prices have never been stronger.. now this

 

I was having this conversation with my daughter and thought it was an interesting topic.

If an EMP or solar flare took out everything electronic in the whole world (permanently), how long do you think it would take for you to die, given your current location and circumstances.

I believe my daughter thinks we would live a lot longer than I do, but she is thinking about how long she can live without the internet while I am thinking the world will quickly descend into anarchy.

With no traditional forms of transport, so supplies would dry up, limited resources, health etc, law and order would be a challenge as things become more desperate.

I think I would live for about 3 months. I would try to get the family somewhere safe and remote and come back later, but I think most people would have the same idea.
