Except the endangered pedestrians aren’t the buyers… The rules are to protect the pedestrians from buyers that value their purchase above the safety of others

Not when it’s Buffy. It fit right in.

As far as having children goes, I think it’s more than an economic effect. We also just have a change in personal goals, supported by a change in social expectation.

Choosing to start families at a later stage or just plain choosing not to at all, is sometimes a personal choice independently of economic pressures.

It should be noted that the article title is actually “Fewer young people are meeting these 5 milestones typically associated with adulthood”, and even it’s first sentence acknowledge these milestones as a mix of economic and family milestones - “Fewer young adults are achieving economic and family milestones typically associated with adulthood…”

Last I looked, we weren’t running out of humans, so the drop-off in breeding is mostly a capitalist concern, or a bigoted concern that the wrong humans are breeding.

Firstly, check for crocs.

Then I recommend, while spreading a line of pyrethrym powder to keep away Hercules, that you make a quick call to snake control (keeping a clear line of sight for any circling dingoes and charging 'roos of course).

At this point you should be in a reasonable position (I would say safe, but when are you ever safe) to call in the professionals (do be sure to watch the trees for drop-bears).

At least that’s what I know of the SOP for such matters in Aussie.

Yes, unfortunately so. And it’s been going on a long time…

Drivers didn’t want to share the road with cyclists. But they also don’t want to lose road-space to cycle-lanes.

Sabotaging the lanes has been going on a long time, is quite regular, and seems to span a wide area - I expect there are several culprits. I hope someone gets caught… given the levels of frustration I also hope things don’t get ugly when they are caught.

Especially in Wellington NZ where we currently have an ongoing problem with people dropping tacks in the cycle-lanes.

Heh. I’ve been blocked from a programming subreddit for being ‘too directly helpful’. Apparently the dozen to-and-fro conversations weren’t enough to show that OP needed more concrete direction.

Hilarious if that sees me banned from the platform at some point.

Java can only eat RAM up to a limit. So while it is memory hungry, it won’t be randomly “eating all your RAM”. Rather, more predictably it’ll eat a lot more of your RAM than you’d like.

No. Unless there’s a bad update… Every few years.

Two children diagnosed using my school reports as background. All the signs.

While getting an adult diagnosis here is expensive and difficult, it’s probably inevitable.

I’ll get 'round to it soon…

Probably a Thursday. Never could get the hang of Thursdays.

If we’re very quiet precious, my love, maybe he won’t notice us down here near the bottom of the table.

Just how many people, that aren’t Trump/Republican mouthpieces or geopolitical foes, really think Zelenskyy is the one who came off looking bad in that exchange?

Yet another ratings-topping embarrassing episode in this new season of America’s ‘great television’ show.

Shhh.

Ahh it’s good to see the US has regained its ‘punchline of the internet’ title after a short four-year return to merely being an embarrassing anecdote.

I don’t have a problem with open lobbying per se. If it’s on behalf of all of the workers and customers as well and not just their own interests.

But can anyone identify such a billionaire?

And by definition that rules out any that step on their workers like bugs…

Look. If there’s anything damaging the environment, we’ll just tow it out of the environment…

More seriously. Given our current NZ government’s attitudes, I fear a similar pattern to emerge here.

And ‘boss Nox’ in SG-1

(Yes the character probably had a name. No I don’t remember it)

Thanks. I hate it.

Instead…

1. Have a shaded zone at the left of the brightness bar (which most people will have auto-managed).
2. If the user drags into this zone auto-brightness is suppressed and the user can select an amount of extra dim.
3. If the user drags out of this zone, and auto-brightness is enabled, allow to take over. Otherwise use the brightness at the users point of release.

No need for a magic setting. Brightness control is all in one place.

Trump’s peace promises…

You can’t have conflict if only one side survives…

I’d like to think Trump & Co don’t think that way.

I’d like to.
