I’ll admit I’m very tempted to get one of these Apple Home Pods. I need a decent speaker setup & going by the following tale, it seems to be great value* https://www.cultofmac.com/525223/why-homepod-is-actually-a-steal-at-349/

  • in Australian currency it’s $499.

WHERE’S THE FUN IN THAT?

I read in the local newspaper of a couple of young drivers described as 'hoons' or excessively reckless drivers who have had their vehicle not only impounded for 30 days but also taken to a vehicle recycler and crushed.

Good. I like that idea, but I'd go one step further. Crush the hoon as well.

Fuck you, Trumpy.
Nothing says true Christian like cheating on wife #1 and getting wife #2 pregnant while still married to #1, then cheating on #2 with wife #3. Cheating with pornstars while wife #3 is home with a newborn. Praise be to God!!! But damn those gays!

Nope. Don't like it at all. I'll stick with the lattice method.

Not for me. Or not that way. I use lattice multiplication. I saw it demonstrated in an old Mathematics book from the 1920s & was hooked on the method.

That was weird. Suddenly a notification from Sophos Home app popped up on the MBA, saying the scan was completed in 23 minutes & found nothing nasty.
But I never instigated any scan, nor ran one to any schedule. Plus, 23 minutes is awfully quick for a full scan. And the menubar icon for the app was white on black rather than black on white. I was unable to open the Sophos Home Dashboard status window from the app.
Fucken Sophos has changed the process WITHOUT TELLING ANY USERS!
The Home dashboard window is no longer a feature, so you can set up file/folder/volume exclusions there. Such things have to be done from the website.
Automatic fast scans are triggered by updating the AV definitions.
Full scans can be instigated from the website or from the menubar icon.
I don't mind the changes, NOW THAT I UNDERSTAND THEM but the sheer bloody-minded arrogance of making such changes WITHOUT notifying users is undermining my confidence in the app & its developers.

Or, since the Bushmaster & Hawkei are displacing the Perentie Land Rovers, you could pick up one of those quite cheaply. Probably the ambulance variant would have travelled less distance. It's a dual cab wide bodied beast. https://www.youtube.com/watch

More hot weather on the way. Saturday & Sunday will not be comfortable. Image

Also known as the Mazda Demio. It might be called by that name.
