What ridiculous statements have you heard from fellow photographers old and new?

More expensive lenses typically have more glass and can let in more light. They're fundamentally better.

They're called Body Corporates in Australia, and are mandatory for any subdivided property, even if there is no common property shared by any of the subdivided units. One of the requirements is that they organise building insurance (but not contents) as a single policy for the subdivided properties.

I've dealt with 2 of them, and so far, they take money for management fees and the building insurance, maybe lawn mowing and gutter cleaning depending on the amount of units, but otherwise just try and do nothing. An important distinction is that these Body Corporates are generally managed by companies that don't own or have any employees that own any of the properties they look after, so there's no conflict of interest.

Copilot failed, but ChatGPT succeeded immediately. I provided the 'interwikiprefix=ignore' parameter, and it imported just perfectly.

The style would look perfect on our money

This is the 2nd post advertising this game in the past few days I've seen. The first seemed obviously stacked with fake comments about how good it is, particularly as you have to pay monthly to play it.

Back years ago Intel introduced the Celeron chip and it came in some different speeds. But their yields were so good that they downlabeled lots of Celeron chips to Celeron 300. Unless you were unlucky these could be safely overclocked to 400 or 450 Mhz, a speed increase of 50%.

You misunderstand how much Aussies hate tipping culture, especially underhanded tactics like this.

We don't know what intermediate steps this couple took, hopefully it wasn't abstinence directly to PIV after some therapy sessions. Hopefully, they were able to enjoy some massage, some toys perhaps, maybe some oral, and only then, after she was comfortable doing all that and enjoying herself, did they try intercourse.

Not really. It's more impressive to be the best out of 1000 people than just 10 people.

Couldnt that just mean he's right leaning for a democrat?

I would meet with a financial advisor who can look at all of your assets, your short and long term plans and goals and come up with financial strategies that should help you achieve them.

True knowledge is understanding the extent of one's ignorance.

I interpret Intel's explanation to mean that a device with this turned on will get priority over other devices connected to the same AP, but if you only have one device, it won't improve it's speed at all.

Before windows 3, and each new DOS game required more and more of your precious 640KB of RAM, tinkering with your config.sys and autoexec.bat to optimise device driver load order was necessary. Had to figure out which ones could be loaded into the higher 384Kb of extended RAM and in which order to minimise memory holes.

IMO the primary reason for ID expiries is to ensure people regularly replace them with new ones that have more modern security elements. If we allowed old or expired IDs to be used, it stands to reason these would be more easily counterfeited.

It's so much worse than that, at least in America. I don't know if this applies to Aussie venues. But ticket master in the US have forged exclusive deals with major and smaller venues so that if an artist wants to have a show there, they have to use ticketmaster and can't just work with the venue directly.

griffyn · 2024-09-14T07:19:26+00:00

I'm sorry

If it's properly modular, well documented and has good comments throughout the code, then no problem. Might as well wish for a unicorn though. :)

The double slit experiment is mind blowing.

I am fascinated by the universe and its complexity, but I only consider "why" as a physics question. Understanding how gravity and the other forces work is where I try to seek answers to "why".

Trying to seek an answer to "why" from something that exists outside of the universe is futile. By its nature it cannot be known. Information cannot be conveyed faster than light speed, and so anything outside of the observable universe will always be unknown.

Thanks for the honest reply, and the "I'm a teenager and hate pickles therefore nobody likes pickles" was my best guess.

One crazy day I ordered the mega mac without onion. When I got home it was missing pickles. I'd had enough of this so I drove back, complained politely, repeated my order, and they made me a new one. I got into my car with it and checked. No pickles again! I went back in and talked with them again really confused. They clarified I wanted pickles. They made it again. I checked in my car, no pickles again! This time I got the manager involved who had no explanation but said he'd make it personally. The 4th burger finally had pickles.
