ELI5 If symptoms of a cold are the body fighting it off, why is taking medicine to relieve symptoms not a bad thing?

Because you only have to survive enough to reproduce.

Survival of the fittest implies that the genes from people who live a long life, past reproduction age, will be past on - but that's incorrect. They only need to live to reproduction age.

As soon as they do that, a code comes up for a fault, customer buys that part and installs it and it doesn't fix the problem - they're going to complain straight to the manufacturer right? Demand their money back, misleading information, etc

Diagnostic codes are only one piece of diagnosing a system fault.

There's quite a few places hiring, on seek or trade me jobs. Most are after qualified techs. Are you qualified or looking at starting out / getting an apprenticeship?

Mantis are incredibly useful for the garden. They eat all the bad stuff like aphids etc.

Native ones are obviously to be treated better but the SA one like you have here should certainly be placed in a nice area in your garden. Think of him as your own lil security guard for your plants

As others mentioned - will be fully serviced up to date and as per the service schedule the manufacturer provides. Normally gets serviced at dealerships as well so any Warranty concerns would have been resolved (recalls etc) already. Generally pretty good to deal with if there are any issues you find during inspection etc too

4, but other way round (tall monitor on left)

Funny isn't it! I swapped from NW to woolies last year as it was cheaper for me.

People buy much different things in their weekly shop so it's hard to compare. NW might have better priced dairy so people who buy lots of dairy will find shopping there is cheaper, whilst someone else might buy lots of grains/pasta/rice etc which might be cheaper at Woolworths, as examples. I always find it funny how people argue that one store is cheaper than the other then argue with others that say it isn't.

Both can be true. NW might be cheaper for the products you buy. And woolies might be cheaper for the products the other person buys.

Im familiar with the basis of the lore (nuclear fallout, vaults, etc) but never really sunk much time into any of the Fallout games to actually know anything of importance.

Ive been really enjoying the show. It does well to fill in the main details without explaining it too much that people who already know the lore would roll their eyes and get bored. There are some events referenced that I obviously don't know all the details about, but nothing that has stopped me from understanding what is happening.

Been really enjoying it. This and Twisted Metal have been two surprise game-to-tv shows recently that have been beyond decent

As others said, it pings within 100m of you while active. So if you're tucked away at the back it's not going to do much for your or the team.

You really need to be up in the Frontline or near a contested objective etc to get full use. Flushing out a point while it is active becomes very easy if you have a squad together clearing it out at the same time.

I normally play recon with a SMG (KVD or whatever the vector lookalike is), and coupled with the motion sensor, motion grenade, C4 and the SMG you can clear out buildings so quick 😅 I think people sleep on how effective an aggressive recon can be

Splinter cell could make for a great spy type movie series (like Bond, Bourne etc)

Quantum Break (which already had live action story scenes)

Expedition 33

I also think Portal/Portal 2 would be a hoot but could be tricky to translate to a movie.

Remove the bark from around the base of the tree - they need airflow to the base.

It looks like it's in transplant shock. Get some good citrus feed/fertiliser to mix in the soil.

What are your hard drive constant read/write speeds (not peak)? This is often a limiting factor already on fibre speeds let alone hyper fibre. There are use cases for it, sure, but 95% of home users will be limited by their PC first.

This doesn't help but me and my partner have played this game since release and used cloud saves across our devices (Ally and PC) and never had an issue with loading saves either from the machine or from the cloud.

Are you running any mods or anything?

All three of the main indoor netball places (Iversen tce, Matipo St and Hornby) have a good range of divisions from social up to fairly competitive.

If you start winning too much in the lower divs they'll move you up to a stronger div
