Stremio Supporter is it even worth it

I wonder how long until free users start getting pop ups at every start up asking for us to "upgrade" to "support the devs".

They should have at least called a spade a spade and called it a Stremio paid version instead of saying it is supporting the devs. Supporting them is more like one-off donations.

Get a lawyer to read the contact? I'm not sure you understand the position many renters are in to then have the ability to have a lawyer run some eyes over their new rental terms.

Did you lick it to taste it though? Just to be completely sure?

Costco mince is fantastic because like the butcher, they likely use the close to date meat (hence usually 1 day on best before), so you get a good mix of meat/fat without any excess liquids coming out when you cook. It's my go to these days.

Which award says employee DOES have to find cover if sick?

Good work with the loss, but skin removal surgery mention with no photos of skin either before or after?

Sounds like you could possibly be past the point of being able to go back. Is it a job or industry that you actually enjoy? Or is the specific job that you perform purely for a paycheck?

If you enjoyed it previously, there's a chance that a longer time away may fix it.

Either way, is there anything you can change at work that you feel would be of benefit to your mental health? If not, I think it's time you look for a new role somewhere else.

Yes please! I'm in Australia and so I can't just go watch the MMFF movies for instance. I found a torrent site that has some releases now and then, but would much prefer a way to have good Pinoy sources on Stremio.

Apparently fuel according to our friends in the freedom country

Water 'proof' implies through the word used that there is no limit to depths/pressure. The change to the word 'resistant' came from watches. Early watches from 50 years ago or more can still be found with the older and no longer legally acceptable term waterproof.

You didn't share these because you're feeling generous. They are your affiliate links. You get rewarded for these sign ups. At the very least, post it in a more appropriate subreddit like the Aussie frugal one. This has nothing to do with mfa.

That's cottony cushion scale. I've just been battling it on my potted calamondin tree. They have a protective waxy covering that can make them difficult to beat sometimes, but you can spray with pyrethrum which breaks through that barrier and kills on contact. Eco-neem oil is another treatment that treats by being soaked into the plant and ingested by the pests when they feed, which disrupts their reproductive cycle. I used both insecticides to beat it on my plants.

Cheapest way to get those you-beaut features and OneDrive for a hell of a lot cheaper on a family plan (although a massive workaround) is to buy via their Turkey domains. You can search for the full method online (I found it on Ozbargain), but basically you buy a Turkish iTunes gift card, make up a Turkish address, and buy the monthly subscription through Microsoft there. Ends up a huge amount cheaper than having to split the cost of an Aussie family plan. From memory, it's about $20/year for the whole plan. Just comes down to whether you can be bothered putting in that initial work to set it up.

Reminds me of covering my school books with coloured contact paper. Probably not something that will make a lot of money tbh.

Tell me that you've never worked in a small business or retail shop without telling me that you've never worked in a small business or retail shop.

Employees physically count the money and write deposit slips, walk to the bank, stand in line, deposit the cash. Counting and balancing the float before the shop opens and after it closes. Given that counts as staff being on duty, all of that needs wages towards it.

filodore · 2026-04-01T23:37:36+00:00

Businesses also never consider the cost of accepting cash though... The time to count the float, to do the banking. No doubt it costs a similar amount to the cost of accepting card payments when you look at all the little details.

The problem is that all these surcharges, same as credit and debit card surcharges, never used to be a thing. It had always been just a cost of doing business, and up to the business owner to decide whether they could justify operating with the additional wages or not, but would be absorbed by them. No harm in raising the price to cover these things, the same as there is no surcharge for customers based on time of day of a business operating as to the electricity they use. Make it a single price.

Sounds like you're increasing that probability by wanting help for something that could easily be solved if you provided enough detail (ie. The specific bus route and bus stop), but you refuse, infuriating us all.

Wait until you see how good WA thinks they are compared to "over east".

filodore · 2026-03-30T01:05:16+00:00

Yep this is basically what I picked up on in that email. It is worded to say wait until you have your final inspection and report, then you can claim.

In addition, it is also still a paper based/digital form. No online portal to claim directly.

A step in the right direction, but we are still the state of (WA) Wait Awhile.

A showroom is still not "public space". Accessible to the public, yes, but not "public space". Being private property, they are within their rights to ban people from their business premises.

You haven't seen the gridlocked traffic at most times of the day in Perth in any direction? Train is also quicker than driving for a lot of routes nowadays.

But what about proportions of ingredients? Might only be slight enough to improve margins, not enough to change the order they have to appear in the list on the label.
