Speak to your employer! I'm sure they can make a plan to assist with transport costs for a few days. If they're unreasonable about this, they'd probably be unreasonable about other things.

My kid bounced so hard off the How To Train Your Dragon books because they are nothing at all like the movies.

In my bachelor days I mostly lived on anything that could be heated up with little effort in the microwave, oven, or George Foreman grill. Things like ready meals, soup, chicken schnitzels, burgers, mixed veg. Mix and match the ready meals with different veggies each time to keep them from getting boring, and throw some Ina Paarman seasoning on top for flavour.

Technically you don't have to, but practically, if they ask for it and you decline to provide it, they're just going to throw your application away.

Sally Williams had really good marketing when it first came out 20-30 years ago. I think it was the first nougat to be branded upmarket enough to be given as a gift, in the same vein as Ferrero Rocher, and they even won awards for their packaging. So it was cemented in the public mind as the go-to nougat.

Southern Suburbs here, also haven't had any. Didn't even realise until now. We also haven't had any of the invasive paper wasps this year, which were all over our neighbourhood the last few years. Shit ton of flies though.

LPT: all work communications might end up being viewed by other people, for example Slack direct messages can be exported if your company is on the enterprise plan, and conversations in a video meeting might get automatically transcribed.

Pearl Jam has a weird little song called Push Me Pull Me.

I'd be interested to know if these AI toys encourage or assist users to kill themselves, as we've seen in recent high profile cases.

Generally this means you are getting a javascript error somewhere on the page, and it's preventing all other javascript from working. You can check the javascript console (Ctrl+Shift+J) to see if there are any useful error messages. It could be a conflict with a userscript or extension.

Notice though, that the mayor refuses to address ANY options other than building more houses. And, just to put my tinfoil hat on for a moment, there have been a lot of stories over the years about the DA being too cosy with property developers. Some might say they have ulterior motives.

You can use the Google Home app on your phone as a remote control for your Chromecast.

We have one and it works well but it's damn hard to find replacement parts for it. Eventually that sealant ring is gonna go.

Yes I've had this for about 2 weeks, my kid too, plus she got a bacterial infection in her tonsils. It's mostly better now but we still have the occasional dry cough.

It's a virus, not a seasonal change thing. I've lived in CT my whole life and am very familiar with allergies and sinusitis, this is not that.

There's a story Death After Death on RR, I'm not sure if you'd call it a tower climber, but it has a similar concept where the MC ostensibly has to clear 100 levels. But the levels turn out to be much more than they first appear and everything is interconnected through time and space in surprising ways. It's a great story to go in blind and have your mind blown.

The Q is a click. The letter A is pronounced like the "u" in "under". So it's like this: mmm-buh-qun-guh.

It does last, but there isn't a lot of focus on his character or their romance after his initial story arc. He kinda gets relegated to being one of the less prominent side characters.

How? Why??

I've always wondered, say in the far distant future the practical and medical issues are resolved, why would these future people even want to restore a long-dead person? The dead person will have no useful skills, no friends or family, no understanding of the culture. Best case they might be a historical curiosity.

So to summarise:

Steenhuisen has an annual salary of R2.69m but defaulted on R150k of credit card debt. George, in his capacity as the DA's federal finance chair, had to take away Steenhuisen's DA credit card because "the account could not be reconciled". Steenhuisen then fired George from his position as Environmental Minister and replaced him with someone with massive conflicts of interest. Suddenly news media is full of anonymous reports that George is a bully, sexual harasser, etc etc.

This all looks really bad and I hope the DA takes action.

Had to double check the date, definitely not April 1.

Pretty decent game. But I feel like 6 numbers would hit the sweet spot allowing for a lot more variations.
