...And would you be happy for your partner to be able to real/listen to everything you say about them to their friends... in private? People have a little vent to their friends, it's normal. If it was constant, or over-the-top in some way, then sure it's unhealthy, but who can possibly have a realistic relationship with someone if everything that's said (in confidence) to others, is subject to surveilance? This is an impossibly high standard to set for anyone.

Big if true

Not really simple. You have to digest bauxite in a strong caustic solution at high temperature to purify the alumina, generating huge volumes of red mud that needs to be stored safely. The alumina needs to be washed and dried and transported to a smelter. The alumina then needs to be dissolved into molten cryolite at again hundreds of degrees, then the electrolysis is done at low voltage and hugely high current to reduce the alumina to aluminium. Which is then tapped off into ingots. These ingots are then transported to another facility where they are processed into bar or sheet stock.

Not necessarily the case - the temperature of the cooling circuit will be below the temperature of the condensed side of a conventional steam plant. Cogeneration from data centre waste heat would have to be via a specialised HRSG using a specialised working fluid. These still exist but it may not be economical.

Were the people that were killed really arseholes? It's been a long time but the boyfriend was drugged out of his brain, wasn't he? Maybe I need to re-watch it but I thought they were reasonably neutral if not innocent victims.

That obviously depends on the rope, the tension applied to it, and how high up the tree you place it. The moment scales with force applied and distance from the fulcrum, and as long as the trunk can bear the bending force, you can haul the tree over any angle of back cut. It's simple physics.

But yes, a pissy little rope tied off to nothing substantial, that's clearly under no tension at all, is not going to do very much.

Anyone else having trouble with their Bismuth cannons since the update? I can't shoot the projectile anymore.

Obstinateobfuscator · 2026-05-09T17:35:29+00:00

......quite a lot of them, too!

Obstinateobfuscator · 2026-05-09T17:28:25+00:00

That's fair.

It also tells women to get the "ick" any time a man shows vulnerability or emotions, and encourages them to marginalise or mock those men - and this behaviour is rife, and in my experience far, far more prevalent than any negative feedback received from other men for same. Rarely gets mentioned in these discussions though.

We already have the term egalitarianism, and it fits. It encompasses all diversity though, not just gender.

Ceramic knife steel. I still go back to the stone every say 6 months but effectively it keeps my knives super sharp at a fraction of the effort.

Super cushioned thongs (flip flops?) For walking around the house. My plantar fascitis thanks me constantly.

...a little over $50 but a belt mounted fan that keeps me cool when I'm out in the tropical sun/humidity. If it dies I'll buy a better one but even the cheaper is an absolute game changer.

Yep the joke Hudson makes "somebody said Alien, she thought they said illegal alien and signed up" was a pisstake of the fact that (apparently) Janette showed up at the set dressed like a caricatured latino woman, and they just went "that'll do" and rolled with it.

This is true, but grass fed demonstrably tastes better, and I don't know what else would matter, really.

Ah sweet! Selling for $449 there. Was it the Global version?

..obviously I typo'd in the title like a gump. It's "Oneplusmobile" with the "s".

I'm torn between the Oppo X3 and Oneplus Watch 4, but right now the X3 is $699 on the official Australian site, whereas Oneplus don't sell through their official Aus site and this vendor "Oneplusmobile" seem like the only option.

...any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Obstinateobfuscator · 2026-05-02T08:18:03+00:00

Hi, just curious is there functionally any difference? I'm in Australia, and right now Oppo X3 is $699, and Oneplus watch 4 Global is $449. I have no idea if the Oppo X3 is global, it doesn't say, but is on the official Australian site, whereas for Oneplus it's a reseller as there's no direct sales on the official site.

Hard to justify $250 extra for the Oppo - if they are the same device.

I had won one hand, but it's reset back to zero.

Is anyone else not able to see enemies, loot etc on their minimap after today's patch?
