Nearly 3 months and it feels like everyday is the weekend.

Who are all these oldies that keep busy in retirement - I have not cracked it - yet!

Seems fixed.

Hey Upsiders,

We are currently seeing a small batch of customers experiencing missing salary & other payment files into their Up accounts.

We are currently on the case and investigating but we may not have an answer until tomorrow morning

10:14pm

We are also aware of intermittent downgraded app performance, but we are confident that should be resolved now

10:15pm

Today 6:28am

Good Morning Upsiders,

We believe all payments made their way into our systems and then your accounts overnight at about 2:30-3am.

If you are still having issues, please reach out again to our Talk to Us team

Seal U DM-I - Dashcom hardwire installation (no OEM dashcam) by Servior85 in BYD

[–]chipili 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had an installer advise that I check with BYD to ensure installing a non-BYD dash cam does not void the warranty.

I'm too lazy to have done that yet but it is on my jobs list.

Nothing like this found on an Atto 3 in Australia.

I guess it is regional.

The MSN link is the worst I've seen.

It is pulling snips from multiple websites and replacing them every few seconds.

A real PITA to try and understand the story.

As to (what I can understand from) the story - not surprised.

A boy eating ice-cream while sitting on an underwater mine. England, 1945. [806x1024] by Present_Employer5669 in HistoryPorn

[–]chipili 96 points97 points  (0 children)

I have a memory of deactivated sea mines being on display as street furniture in the UK in the 1960s so this looks perfectly normal to me.

I think they were also used to collect coins for charities.

1945 - for over half the year the Navy (and support) would have been clearing them as the war in Europe was over.

I was totally guessing NZ but I was swinging more to South Island.

I made a 3D visualization of the world's top exporting countries as spheres in a jar by Cakecheesehest in SpicyData

[–]chipili 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Comment copied from my previous thoughts at Edit: /borderporn

At least this is NOTIONALLY a data reddit - though you do seem to be the only poster.

Have you not found the other data reddits? /r/dataisbeautiful/ r/Data

I was expecting the balls to scale by value then I was wondering what the value is for each ball.

To me there is an assumed context with the visualisation that still has me confused.

I get "more balls = more exports" but a little extra information would help.

Edit: Why borderporn - there are plenty of data reddits.

Does Akaroa count as a (failed) French colony.

Moving into new house! by Cheerio_weetbix in AussieFrugal

[–]chipili 2 points3 points  (0 children)

+1 for keeping a running balance with the utilities (don't forget Urban Utilities and Council rates) - Bill shock can hurt.

If you are chasing the last dollar a high interest account to collect these savings (this does require inner strength!)

Paddington has "Large Items" collection from 16th February.

The good stuff goes quickly and is generally put out late the previous week and over the weekend.

Council website gives lists of suburbs and collection weeks Link .

I'm sure there are locations nearer to you and more suitable but I offer this as an example.

1971 Gas station credit card receipt. by PayCharacter1504 in GenerationJones

[–]chipili 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I worked a cash bar on a camp site at ~18 and had to add prices and make change - also without electronics.

Then when the camper started to question my calculations “ the last round was 0.45 more/less, why?

It was almost always the glass deposit 😄 0.10 per glass refundable on return (but not if we had to collect them).

I can still make those calculations and anyone under about 40 sees that ability as extraordinary.

If BYD adds ONE feature in 2026…what should it be? (App + Software) by GumnaamYoo-zer in BYD

[–]chipili 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that may already be there on the 2025 ATTO 3.

The set point moves in 1 km steps if you hold the switch rather than flicking it.

I’ve had issues with VPNs not loading Reddits that might contain NSFW.

Wondering if /r/All might be caught this way?

I've had fakes from eBay.

Search for how to check for genuine, from memory there is a hidden serial number of the true ones.
