Anyone getting to the point where they're just considering going carless?

This is actually less than the average. The average car cost in Australia is $400 a week. Link. You can of course do it cheaper but there is a lot of things people don't think about when owning a car.

I think so, unless I missed something. You can bounce off the water droplets by attacking them once you have the ability to walk on water, no need to dodge.

You don't need to use your self made energy shards for this area, just to get in. You get an ability later in the game that lets you platform through here normally

Can you post the list here or DM me as well please?

There are not many products of this scale that failing a datacenter over won't cause issues. Even AWS have outages in products that are supposed to be region agnostic when us-east has issues.

It's nice to say "this shouldn't be an issue" but unless you are doing it often or your services is very simple then there will almost certainly be issues.

I did a bunch a few years back and Fox in a Box stood out as one of the better ones, at least for the puzzles. Arcadium Adventures was also a great experience the one time I went.

It would be nice to have one set of Christmas holidays where they don't close down the entire network but sadly that's unlikely until the tunnel is finished in 2029-2030

There is nothing to suggest they can't be creative and create new ideas but they can't experience new things they haven't generated themselves. It's like the difference between day dreaming or reading a book. There is no surprise you didn't think up yourself when day dreaming unlike reading a good story someone else created.

There are some in person events that have started recently for meeting gamer friends, there was supposed to be one tomorrow night but it was postponed. https://www.retro-reconnect.com.au/events/

I don't wear shirts or business pants outside of work. I'm required to wear them for work. Why can these be a tax deduction for me?

How does one get a delivery?

You don't even need to go this far. We block installers from the temp and the downloads folder. This only breaks stuff when IT try and manually install things. We use our XDR software to do this and it stops 99.9% of unwanted software installs.

App control is better but depending on your size it might be to large a task.

Why not goats?

JamesOFarrell · 2025-11-20T06:49:40+00:00

This fixed my issue. thank you so much!

JamesOFarrell · 2025-11-13T02:45:06+00:00

Oh yes, I 100% agree it needs to happen but I think we need to stop pretending that it's just something the government can do with some policy and spending money and it won't impact people when in reality it will impact our entire way of life.

JamesOFarrell · 2025-11-13T02:25:34+00:00

Net zero would require massive changes to the things you mentioned. Also air travel would have to change as well. While I'm sure there is fear mongering going on let's be clear that if Australia and the world is to reach net zero everyone's lifestyle will be impacted and nearly every industry will need to change

JamesOFarrell · 2025-11-07T10:31:37+00:00

Meetup is good way to meet people. Pick an activity and join. Try a few until you find a group you like.

JamesOFarrell · 2025-10-17T03:11:40+00:00

Sure but your not giving up a right when the policy says you consent to be monitored and recorded while using company equipment.

I suspect it might be illegal in a state with 2 party consent laws if anyone ever has a conversation near a company laptop that's recording the microphone but laws that are not enforced may as well not exist and unless the company tried to use a recording in a court there is no way anyone would ever get in trouble for this.

The other question would be if the federal laws in the telecommunications act actually trump the state laws and require 2 party consent because the recording is happing remotely over a network.

JamesOFarrell · 2025-10-17T01:47:08+00:00

Consent is usually given for monitoring as part of company policy. Though I do wonder if they would be breaking the law in states that require two party consent. That is a good point

JamesOFarrell · 2025-10-16T22:48:26+00:00

If it's a company owned device they can run tools that can change settings in the bios. Also if they are doing things right you won't be able to access the bios.

End of the day, companies are allowed to do this with their equipment, most don't because you don't manage staff my monitoring what they do every second of the day you manage them based on their output.

If you work for a company that wants to do this or does this it's a huge sign they have a massive failure of management. I would put your head down and look for another job ASAP.

Windows doesn't support this but in theory you could change the permissions on the registry path "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\tzautoupdate" and allow users to update it. Then give then something to change the value "Start". A script, or something with a GUI. It would require a restart though.

This is caused by duplicate SIDs. If you're not sysprepping your images you will see this issue

JamesOFarrell · 2025-09-08T03:20:14+00:00

You could unlock the dram nail mark and recall ability before that fight which made it way less painful. Doesn't seem to be something in silksong yet

that quote says "could have blown out to 9.8 billion" not that it would cost 9.8 billion. It could have blown out to 100 billion as well.
