Australia prefills all the information from employers, banks, share market registers so most people can log onto the government website, go to their tax account and accept the prefilled form

Musk is a shit, but lying doesn’t help

The last attempted helicopter prison escape in the Wikipedia list is from 2020

Hijinks are harder now than they were in the '80s but not extinct; though even in the '80s success rarely lasted more than a few months for helicopter escapees

How the fuck you do get a bullet to the head and then try the same shit again?

Perhaps he was not unharmed by the bullet in the head

I really loved my Trinitron, but it needed so much space

Flat CRTs were excellent though.

The market crashes, the market recovers, though all bets are off if America doesn’t return to “normal” in the next few years.

Of course you’re screwed if you had money in the market which you needed right now

That do. The failure comes if the spacecraft use lower air pressure, then the ink is pushed out of the pen by the pressurised gas in the ink

The same thing causes some pens to leak in aeroplanes.

If you want the joke decoded:

-e return immediately for some failed commands

-u throw an error for unset variables

-s non functional

-a everything is marked for export

At least put the box back. Chicken bones have crap-all capacitance

It’s safe to consider radio technology as deep magic. The metal box may have been adding just the right amount of capacitance to offset something about where the system was mounted

Circumvention: https://www.austlii.edu.au/cgi-bin/viewdoc/au/legis/cth/consol_act/ca1968133/s116an.html

Aussie copyright law gives us the right to circumvent protections in order to make copies to watch on a device the original can’t be played on.

Linux out of the box is remarkably incompatible with DRM protected content and so makes an excellent thing on which one might want to watch, listen to, or read a thing

I luckily live in a country where I may break copy protection if it is to move the content into a format where I can use it as I prefer

Eg I could (and did) legally break copy protection on DVDs to allow me to watch them on my Linux computer

Those mini missile barrages

Then explore the wreckage on a cyclone motorbike

Putting on my brewing hat

Growlers are pretty good. Drunk in one bottle

Searching I found one Tesla 3 that caught fire after hitting road debris, several that caught fire after being shot at, several that caught fire after a collision, and many destroyed in arson attacks

Please link some of these “many that caught fire while driving”

Are you sure you can’t make a high entropy memorable password?

My scheme pulls four words at random from a large corpus

Then 10 minutes later the war was back on no holds barred

TLDW: the graphics card market sucks, prices don’t relate to quality, base models are fiction, you should wait to upgrade if you can

Also it’s a different table depending on where you are
