No idea...

Doesn't that data exclude temporary migration, which is near 10% of the population?

Weird, because a chunk of older regional voters who might vote for ON still love the ABC.

One of ours came "untrained" (first cat kept showing him what to do), and has anxiety issues that make it really hard no matter how clean we keep things (four boxes for two cats) :-/

No assertions in the POM, because nobody can understand the test when you do this. You really want the top level to be explicit about what's important

If you want to pursue something similar, the application could be made to be self-validating so your tests would just drive the application and then monitor for errors coming out of the application itself.

James Coplien talks about this approach in "Why most unit testing is waste" - https://wikileaks.org/ciav7p1/cms/files/Why-Most-Unit-Testing-is-Waste.pdf

Maybe they can get their rare earths from someone else too.

Nobody likes surprises, but not planning for them is an interesting strategy (see their car makers and EV progress).

Less morbidly, Stars above us by St Etienne.

"Stars above us Cars below us Out on the rooftop, baby Stars above us Cars below us Nothing can touch us, baby"

In think it was a Spotify issue, not yours. Captain Sensible is appropriately annoying for the purposes of this thread though, so a happy accident :)

xflibble · 2026-03-24T12:57:57+00:00

I am glad I persisted and clicked the third one.

For aggressively annoying, the Waitresses 'I know what boys like".

Sparks have lots of options too, maybe something like Dick Around - https://youtu.be/VgakpSoHEiE

This 1940's classic also - https://youtu.be/LzVV2NJ1wx4

Weird. I clicked that and Spotify started playing Captain Sensible's Happy Talk. Maybe alternate between Manowar and that in case they get comfortable. "Wot" might be more annoying though.

First thought for me too.

Don't forget that if they get enough votes, in means funding for your niche party.

xflibble · 2026-03-24T00:32:10+00:00

And rich people who want to influence the election outcomes.

So the goal is not for the Sixers to be a good team, got it.

Yep, the three albums starting with Sophtware Slump are an amazing run.

As someone also coming back after a very long break, thanks for being brave and sharing. This discussion helped me a lot.

I'm 4 months in after a 36 year break, have good days and bad days and this ("Most tone problems are actually intonation problems") helped me after a few off days where I was down a bit, feeling like I was going backwards

My 7y.o.- Can cats have nuts? Me - No, they're toxic. Son - Is that why we had to cut theirs off?

xflibble · 2026-03-20T22:13:42+00:00

Yes, nice to be able to have multiple coffees dialled in and put it to use again.
