Haha. I’ll own that. And I’ll happily try (and, no doubt, love) the Nutella concoction you describe - but I’m standing my ground and not calling it fairy bread! 😉

No, I mean… chocolate sprinkles?! That’s chocolate ant bread! Fairy bread is white bread, butter, and 100s and 1000s. Nothing else. Australia needs to introduce a Fairy Bread Purity Law to protect our sacred food.

Am I the only one thinking “that’s not fairy bread!”?

The XKCD one is interesting, but seems to be missing the transfer to/from the storage medium sent by FedEx.

If I want to move data from my computer to yours over the internet, the internet bandwidth between our devices/networks is the main consideration. If I’m FedExing SD cards or HDDs, I’ve also gotta take into account the transfer times to get the data ONTO those devices.

I wonder how the analysis would fair when taking into account:

• speed of internet
• TB/kg of storage
• storage medium transfer speeds

But of course, they’re only looking at one small aspect of the overall issue. Just focus on the airline industry, rather than actually having decent privacy legislation that prevented any industry from (legally) misusing individuals data?

For me, the hard part isn’t driving on the “wrong” side of the road. You pick that up pretty quickly. You need to think a bit more when turning, but it’s not so hard. For me the harder part is driving from the “wrong” side of the car. I may have almost mounted a curb or two because I forgot where I was in the lane.

ExpressVPN is based in the British Virgin Islands, meaning it’s outside the Five, Nine or 14 Eyes jurisdictions

British overseas territories are outside the UK’s jurisdiction now? 🤔

I like to think that if enough people ended up taking 10 minutes on a support call to validate someone’s identity, when it should take 10 seconds, maybe the companies would learn to stop asking stupid security questions. I like to think that, but in reality nothing will change.

Ah, yes, D7k3y2mHy5lZhbyHa St, I remember it well.

I use my password manager to generate the answer. My mothers maiden name is CzyHcjMKMfwT4tZ7HXbavQrOPo and my first pet was Avhu6FqPTRsWwafA, but we called him Avhu for short.

“There’s dead man’s signatures on this paper”

“What do you mean? They’re all standing right here in front of you”

bang bang bang

“See? Three dead man’s signatures”

Wow. I know Australia Post sucks, but this is bad even for them!

Yeah, unfortunately that seems pretty normal in a lot of places.

Sorry, I guess I should have more specific - if it’s a signalled pedestrian crossing, of course the signals need to be followed. I was wondering in the context of a crossing that only has markings, but no signals.

Serious question: are there places in the world that have marked pedestrian crossings (crosswalks), but vehicles DON’T have to give way to pedestrians?
