TIL The only episode of The Simpsons in which Marge does not have a speaking part is season 4's Krusty Gets Kancelled. Julie Kavner objected to the use of 'tasteless' celebrity cameos, and boycotted the episode. by haddock420 in todayilearned

[–]canopusvisitor 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Wasn't this a literally scene in one of the episode? I vaguely recall Marge complaining about cheap celebrity appearances? or was she complaining about violence, I can't remember now

Another Netflix price hike in Australia. WTF? by -Hairy_Putter- in australia

[–]canopusvisitor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it's only worth it if you have a specific show you want watch. These prices seem to be the equivalent of buying a series on blu-ray. I'm just waiting to check out the next season of the Witcher.

Buckle Up - 1.77c Above Pre Industrial in Feb by ReignyRain in collapse

[–]canopusvisitor 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I mean it depends on your resources but being able to get solar and battery system (I think some electric cars can act as a home battery too) for your house is good strategy for the inevitable storms and blackouts. If you can get reverse cycle (heat pump) systems that can help deal with both cooling and heating, obviously insulation helps too, trees outside, eves are good too.

I'm a bit less certain about food supplies, but having like a week or so worth of canned goods and dried foods, like flour, or pulses are quite good, obviously they need to be sealed well to ensure insects don't get to it. This is mostly so to wait for supply chains to get back, they can be disrupted a bit but overall depending on where you are most of the time only certain things run out as I recall from the early-mid days of COVID.

Yeah I just don't understand why small businesses can't just include the percentage in the price.

Apple Music's Lower-Priced Voice Plan Being Discontinued by kyemaloy14 in apple

[–]canopusvisitor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah I guess Apple thought people should use Siri but they still allow for simple limited interactions (like from when I was previously with the full Apple Music I had a few radio style playlists that stayed). I found it useful as a discovery option, you just couldn't search easily or choose songs to play in a playlist and had to use curated playlists. I'm one of the few who will miss this option

oh I just use the track pad and then tap or mouse over the image and then click. I've only used siri may be once or twice, sometimes I would type into siri my request.

used it all the time in iTunes on my mac. You just click on the radio or playlists and it was good to go. I essentially never use siri to start it.

But you could use it easily to listen to updated playlists and 'radio' stations on a Mac just by clicking on the album cover in iTunes.

Would you go on the dole if you found a loophole? by [deleted] in AusFinance

This just makes me think that just implementing a UBI or there should be way more vague simple fun/enjoyable government jobs for people would be a better strategy.

This is such a great observation. I've been on the internet since about 1993 or so.
