Have the same thing in Australia. Not passport but I returned after years overseas and I think I was applying for a tax file number (or bank account, or both!)

I was just really lucky my father had an old family friend who wss a teacher to sign the paperwork

Frankly, I think that given the scenario, pre-positioning a tank in that situation probably demonstrates a considerable amount of foresight.

That sounds SUSPICIOUSLY like something a JAG defense lawyer might say

That plane was an art exhibit wasn't it? Something, something, the primitive versus the modern?

Those numbers don’t add up. How are they worth ten times face value? Is bluey that popular?

Either that article or maybe another one I read says the coins are being traded at ten times their face value by collectors so yeah, maths seems right.

Like of lot of this kids stuff it's popular, look at how much to those bloody "free" Woolworths(?) little plastic groceries they give away from time to time go for!

What WERE their findings though? I read that link and 80% of it was talking about the "history of Venezuela’s elections"

Only relevant bit was 5 people went to a few poling stations each and they didn't see anything odd and people seemed to be happy to vote. I didn't see them claim to have done anything that could be considered proving the elections were fair one way or another, other than no obvious fraud at the polling stations themselves.

I tossed it onto a old PC that was struggling with windows a few months ago. It was just a Plex machine and suddenly everything is running faster, easier to use, my wife even commented that she could browse Plex faster than before and videos loaded quickly...

Good gateway drug for Linux really.

yeah the article in this thread mentions a young man who got into it and "differed" from the original guy who them got upset at them

Dozens, and many over the belt too!

Can't have children anymore though :/

It happens here all the time (Killing animals on unattended properties, Australia)

Sometimes the owner doesn't even LIVE on the property where the animals are, and the butcher comes down with "third gate on the right, the one with the two trees, we want the two pigs next the the barn done" written on a post-it note.

Personally we've NEVER allowed any animals killed on the property without us being there but it's not unusual.

Few steps missing, the squirming, the unexpected discovery it is twice the weight you thought it was, the pointy hooves and contact with various fleshy parts of your anatomy and catching the bloody thing in the first place.

Honestly from a lamb-over-the-wall perspective this is very much "draw the rest of the owl"

Yeah the rice is only going to get tiny particles of rice inside the device and otherwise not assist in drying out even slightly making the issue worse

Please be careful when making jokes, it may see harmless rubbish, but at least one person committed suicide due to their obsession with this stuff.

I stufferd a store in for my players to shop (Foundry) because it had been a while, and just grabbed a pre-built one and tossed it in...

they spent the night planning and implementing a massive heist because one item cost too much for them to afford and they wanted it..... I had NOTHING for this (half the players beliefs on the shopkeeper, how they worked and how they could be robbed was based on some crappy random generated name and they had made "assumptions"...)

Found out later they thought I planned it all

I use exclamations in Windows ("!!first" will be sorted above "!second" for example)

and "I’m curious what’s the need for the folder to be sorted first that something like folder pinning or tagging"

Not sure what "tagging" would be in a windows perspective, does it have that? and "pinning" could be using the Quick Access bar I guess which I do for folders I want access to GLOBALLY, but if I have many sub-folders, and in the context of THAT FOLDER I am interested in several more than the rest, but outside that folder I don't care less about them, I'll use exclamations so I can find them easier

(Example, I have a TTRPG folder of art assets for maps from dozens of different sources, each with own naming conventions, and two folders !!Sorted and !Working, as I slowly go though the list to find, name, sort, discard and otherwise clean up the list so I can find what I want. If it was called "Sorted" it would be in the middle of the folder structure and a pain to find when I need it, but I also NEVER NEED that sub-folder unless I am working on cleaning up/sorting that data)

Fidonet all the way initially (At the time it was faster to write your terminal program than to load it off tape every time you started the computer. Was only like 5 lines.)

But the with the "Internet" I was the first (I think, never saw any others) to write and release a Windows 3.1 program for Finger

Ok wow didn't realise it was that wide spread. These were just some locals talking about stuff and he was proud they had gotton a good deal on seconds sweets. Feeding left over stuff, bread, cakes, seemed common place.

I was horrified about the plastic but seems to be pretty normal!

This sort of thing still happens

I've had a chat with a farmer in Australia where they were feeding dariy cows boiled sweets (He got access to some sort container load of factory seconds, still with the plastic on, farmer wasn't going to remove the plastic from millions of boiled lollies)

I would have been faster on that joke the generator ran out of petrol last night and but power, mobile and internet only just came back

They are just warning you about the existence of Taralgon and Vondonga

Is something like this difficult to set up?

I grabbed a Linux Mint install, and followed this guide to install Plex on it

It is a "desktop" install, really I know you don't NEED a GUI yadayada, but it was very easy and got my foot in the door of Linux. It's worked well for me, faster than the older Windows install
