I'm doing my part to ensure I die at a respectably young age by my own hand, yes.

She has achieved nothing because we're so far past words on these issues.

Most humans must die.

Just before I flew out of India after many months of travel I decided to try a whopper, just to see if it was any different than usual.

Let me tell you folks, hands down the best whopper I've ever had.

The biggest reason for that was that the tomatoes were actually ripe, and fresh compared to the miserable garbage HJs / BK use at home.

To me a burger without tomato is not a burger at all.

Yeah it's local. They name local streets and towns.

We have a similar organisation to the FCC that deals with these matters. I will take this up with our radio specialist first though.

The bit that has me scratching my head is that it is our analogue VHF system that is picking up these communications.

All emergency services are supposed to have moved to digital, encrypted channels and yet I am sitting here listening to the police despatch co-ordinate units to chase an agitated man with a bat as we speak. It's happening daily, especially early in the morning but it just doesn't make any sense to me.

Unless some part of their network is still analogue, we shouldn't be hearing anything.

I do not know enough about the technical side of these technologies to understand this, I just use them regularly.

We have an extensive network of private repeaters set up all over the state on our own land. I just hope it is not us that are somehow causing this problem. We have the requisite licenses for all of our bands and nothing has really changed for us. Trouble only started when they went digital.

We use the same licensed VHF network at work for the last 30 years. Ever since our local cops switched to 'digital', 'encrypted' radio comms, we regularly pick them up on our VHFs across the entire district, regardless of what frequency we are on.

It's like their whole thing is leaking across the bands, which should not be possible given that it's encrypted but here we are. If it were anyone else, we'd be pursuing them for abusing the frequency band that we pay for but it doesn't feel like a battle that we want to start.

I hope Myanmar calm their troubles soon. I have my doubts though. I've been watching for years because I'd love to visit the country - every time it calms down, some military leader decides he's seen enough progress for one decade and launches a coup.

Yeah, they're not someone I'd choose to give money or support to. Pretty disappointed it has come to this tbh.

If they did that, I wouldn't be able to find a fix for the fuel line getting kinked in my BG86 leaf blower. You know that video with 48 views that exactly solves the problem I am having? Same applies across basically every niche device or mechanical issue and is one of the primary reasons I find myself on youtube.

They're not actually that bad on fuel. Don't get me wrong, I'd never own one but a few of our major players at work have them as some sort of status symbol. Cruising in overdrive at 100km/h they can go as low as 6L/100km, but average is around 12L/100km unless you are doing lots of hunting through the gearbox or driving like a dick, then you can see some truly disturbing fuel usage figures.

To put it in perspective, this is on par with a modern hilux, and WORLDS better than the 2022 79 series landcruiser even with all the fuel efficiency gains they made.

To be clear I still don't think anyone should be driving one here - our roads and car parks are simply not built for them. They aren't that great offroad either. Really the only genuine use case is towing an enormous caravan down the hwy, in which case I hate you anyway because that's TWO symbols of you being an inconsiderate prick that doesn't care about anyone else.

There's actually a 0-day exploit affecting safari on every single apple device right now, and not a gentle one. There is a fix, but you have to update iOS to get it.

Also a MAJOR 0-day affecting teams, but the exploit is exploiting core app functionality so Microsoft don't want to fix it.

Can you please ban me for 5 days so that I know what it looks like on this platform?
