Linux users switching back to Linux after 10 minutes of using Windows
Fortunately I use linux at work and at home for years now.
The rest of my family apparently hate themselves and use windows... I can now just use the excuse that it's too long since I've used windows and can't help.

Born blind in 1949, a 7-year-old bypassed AT&T to make free calls for 14 years by whistling a 2600Hz tone. Engineers took two decades to catch him before he became a Buddhist monk named Joybubbles.

The US is a rapist.
Look at every country (including their own) they've "liberated" (it whatever self-appointed mission they've claimed).

Nononono. The sides are flat discs, the bottom is the nice plump round bit. Just like the front, back and top.

There is a benefit to showing that there is statistical of "common sense" because while sometimes the "common" bit is inaccurate other times it's the "sense" bit.

Deaths confirmed amid worst flu outbreak in a decade
Reply in thread
It costs about $20 to get it from my local pharmacy. There are about five million people.
Let's assume that the government/pharmac/healthnz/whomever could source five million doses at a good rate and fund the staffing requirements to administer them. Say that is the same $20/dose cost.
$100m or about ten metres of motorway.
The best part is you don't need to do all five million, I think about 80% is enough for herd immunity to take effect. So it's cheaper at $80m.
'flu takes about a week to recover from. So every person that gets it 'costs' their employer a week's wages. Call that $25/hr × 40hr = $1000/wk. We'd only need to stop 80,000 people from getting 'flu each year to break even. NZ had almost half a million cases in 2025.

I re-watched that recently with my kids (now at more or less the same age I was when I watched it for the first time) just waiting for the bit where Tetsuo goes super extra... bleagh.
One said "that's the most disgusting thing I've ever seen".
10/10 would recommend.

I just stumbled across that film and watched it on a whim.
It was amazing.

Indeed it would, I wasn't sure how the numbers would work out.
Just the sick day cost is what you'd need to convince your local National/Act/NZF incumbent.

My boss just handed me two geckos to take care of while he's on his third vacation through October. I need a new job.

Spend that on some look-a-like geckos and then go on a well-documented high-risk adventure with them. Send regular updates to your boss.
