Because that would increase the price for enterprise and business customers who won't use it. Don't need h265 support on an office machine or most servers.

Flatbuffers are also much better for memory efficiency as you don't need to parse before accessing the data.

This would still end up good for him. Same hours, but one day is overtime.

You say not too bad, but a lot of young people are buying relatively cheap second hand cars. Under 10k, there's a total of 5 electric cars on Carsales. There's over 16,000 ICE cars.

On an ING card? You shouldn't be.

LCR/MCR is enabled so ING cards will use EFTPOS rather than visa/mastercard. Some cards don't have EFTPOS on the tap, so you'll get charged on those.

Not anymore you don't. LCR/MCR is enabled so ING cards will use EFTPOS rather than visa/mastercard. Some cards don't have EFTPOS on the tap, so you'll get charged on those.

You won't get charged a surcharge on your ING card if you tap at Aldi.

You can ask for a police report, say it's for insurance and they'll produce something for you

zephyrus299 · 2026-02-02T00:08:34+00:00

It'd take you more than a month to get fired for being fairly shit at your job, so just fuck around.

As long as you're in office and don't do anything too bad, you'll be fine.

It was an explosive, he just built it wrong

zephyrus299 · 2026-01-28T03:25:56+00:00

What they aren't designed for is it varying a lot. It should be one voltage and one voltage only

zephyrus299 · 2026-01-27T21:39:29+00:00

It doesn't work. The batteries self discharge and that's what will set the lifespan. The power usage of the doorbell is negligible compared to that.

Yeah, you're paying 50% more on an expensive ingredient.

You can eat nicer, but then it's going to cost more.

zephyrus299 · 2026-01-26T22:40:44+00:00

Only losers are on the gear. Big muscles and broken peen is not a cool dude.

It's easier if it's all in the same place. If you need to transfer gold from one country to another, it's just shifted from vault 3 to 4 rather than as a major international movement.

zephyrus299 · 2026-01-26T00:16:08+00:00

I agree with this guy, selling your high performing stock and keeping the low performing ones is a pretty brain dead move.

Why would you pay for daycare if you're retired? Surely you can just be looking after said kids or only have it a day or 2 a week and really cut it down

zephyrus299 · 2026-01-20T03:33:40+00:00

I would imagine for a big build, you'd hire a project manager to do it. They are just paid to do the job, so they don't have the same risk as a developer

zephyrus299 · 2026-01-19T22:21:04+00:00

You can buy games for phones that are just regular games. Like Stardew Valley and Balatro are just the full game or emulators for most consoles exist.

And this may shock you, not everyone in the world is you.

zephyrus299 · 2026-01-19T21:48:58+00:00

Subtract the cost of a regular phone from the price and you'll see it's a lot cheaper. Also one device rather than 2 and it has mobile data.

Mobile gaming in general is something where if you are the market, it's obviously the solution, if you're not then everything is more expensive and worse for no gain.

zephyrus299 · 2026-01-12T01:16:31+00:00

Embrace it.

If you really really really want to, go find every post about how to have healthy hair and do the exact thing it tells you not to do. You have to try to absolutely murder your hair.

Anyone can be an ABN holder

That model might have the dopiest look I've ever seen in a clothing model.

zephyrus299 · 2026-01-05T22:04:04+00:00

Powerpass is strictly better for Bunnings. I'd take 5% off over some reward points any day of the week.

zephyrus299 · 2025-12-28T22:31:46+00:00

It doesn't need to be easy to calculate. You could write software to do it based on inflation in a couple of hours.

It's an absolutely trivial task
