@streakmachine I have seen the thoroughly unhygienic circumstances/premises our local Dominos works in. It's a wonder there have been no deaths associated with food poisoning.
@streakmachine Not sure they're employers of good drivers, either. One of them did this to our mailboxes 10 weeks ago.
Set the iPhone somehow to send its audio from SoundCloud app to the HomePod. Now playing a random selection of Antti Martikainen tracks. Most enjoyable.
@jmreekes I would love to replace my current iPad with one that can handle the Pencil, but it's only last year's model 7 has lots of life left in it. I cannot justify replacing it yet.

So I don't really need to have a wired keyboard on hand when starting the iMac in other bootup modes. Today I learned that if you connect an Apple Magic Keyboard 2 to the Mac via a Lightning cable it is still fully usable. In fact, the formerly wireless keyboard becomes a wired keyboard & it keeps charging. Other startup modes such as Safe Boot or booting from external drives or the recovery partition work fine, too, as long as the keyboard's power switch is at the "on" position. It still charges even while in use.
@tewha My case involved a work issue. Plaintiff claimed a result of patchup emergency repairs to his phoneline that I & another fellow performed, $500,000 of water damage was caused to his flooring materials.
But it was the shit work with inappropriate material done by a repairer he contacted that led to future damage. All wee did was attach a temporary cable to a fence - no digging involved.
Ironically the name of the affected property is "Peaceful Waters."

@tewha I was required to give evidence in court it the inner capital city a few years ago, initially they paid my taxi fare of $130 each way before settling on a hire car & driver for the whole day.
I was going through serious mobility issues at the time & was granted dispensation to sit in the witness box rather than stand which is the normal process.
No idea of the result of the case.

Tried playing a solitaire card game on the Men's Shed iMac today.This game is available on iOS & Android also. The game would play fine but no card faces or backs or background patterns were visible. Fortunately there's a newer compatible 64-bit version on the Mac App Store.
There’s several THOUSAND miles of bloody cold Antarctic & Indian Oceans between here and the Antarctic landmass, broken only by one small island 250 km to the southwest. It’s May, winter is not far off. We’re getting an early taste over the next few days: tomorrow & the following day we can expect a top daily temperature or 13°C. It’ll be 19° today and that’s pretty cool as well.

@hazardwarning A friend of mine was an intra-state truck driver, he had to use sunscreen with an extreme SPF and long-sleeved shirts plus a broad-brimmed hat to avoid sunburn - he claims a Fitzpatrick Scale of 0.
Because of those measures he also needs vitamin D medication.
Things are a bit easier for him now, he drives school buses & reckons it'll be his last job before retirement.
