I loved Fravias pages and searchlores. Is there anything else like it?


That's funny but no, like this: https://www.the-odin.com/diy-crispr-kit/

not satire :)


Thanks for these.

I have realised that I am perfectly average at recognising faces getting 79% on the bbk test and 10 out of 14 on greenwich, however I don't recognise people that well. I hadn't realised there is a difference.

Anybody come across this?


Possibly because it was a sysadmin that leaked it. It has to be decrypted at some point for people to see it.


I was at a junction in Spain and I had no idea what to do. It was the most hectic thing in the world, you just sort of went and hoped.

I guess its simialr to some roundabouts in London.

I have no idea how an AV would handle that(unless they were all AVs at the junction)


Yeah my Hisense smarttv is android 4.2 and it will never get upgraded. I am pi$$ed - mainly because it didnt occur to me, I had it in my head that I could upgrade it or their might be a community scene but not for something this obscure.


I generally discourage "smart TVs" for this reason. It's a lot cheaper to replace/upgrade a set top box than it is to replace/upgrade your whole TV.


RPi2 has a lot of promise in this regard, IMNSHO :)


Obviously I do too. That was funny :).

I am not in the states and I can't get most of the services. I wish they would at least do regional podcasting advertising. A startup opportunity :)


Masters is for when Bunnings is too busy.


Having worked sausage sizzles at both Bunnings and Masters I can corroborate this. Masters is empty in comparison.

Closer to topic though, when buying a new TV last week my wife and I didn't even consider Dick Smith. They can't really compete with Harvey Norman, Retravision, Good Guys or JB Hi Fi.

Meanwhile, Jaycar and Altronics have slotted nicely into the hobby electronics market that used to be Dick Smith's domain.


How about balloon boy? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Balloon_boy_hoax I am a parent and I wouldn't do this but it doesn't mean others wouldn't.


Is it dark intentions when the nature of a company is to make as much money as possible? The banks want house/land prices to go up so that they can charge one as much in interest as they can get from one's income, whilst making money on any land/property capital appreciation that they have. This is just capitalism surely.

My solution - nationalise the mortgage lenders and cap the mortgage to a 3 * multiplier of annual earnings.


Thank you for having a brain. You'd also need to have a new way of issuing money as mortgage lending is how we currently add fresh money as debt. I'd recommend something like social credit.
