Doesn't even need to be metal: they make sure you aren't touching skin-to-skin anywhere while you are in the machine (for example, don't put your hands together) in order to avoid induced current loop burns.

I guessed 2021 for one photo which turned out to be Joe Biden's inauguration fireworks. It tells me I was 20 years off?

I like the idea but there were several examples where I found a word but it was not the word the game wanted, and I was told "invalid word". Examples: I found "STONE" but the correct word was "NOTES", or "SPILL" vs "PILLS" etc. Extremely frustrating!

Through completely dumb luck, I guessed only the names of fruit, the answer was a fruit, and got it in 6!

You probably also saw the arrows on the road itself as a reminder of the correct direction of travel. Those are always near any places tourists are likely to stop, since after a break it's common to forget which side to be on.

Along the same lines, if the father was still alive, could he not vouch for his son at some point?

I was surprised by this too! I tried (briefly) to find a source, but it seems to be an urban legend:

I'm in the same boat, lost my BankID and with it everything it unlocks. I live 20000km from Sweden and can't easily make that trip, especially during the covid travel restrictions. Letters with notarised copies of ID were quickly dismissed by the bank. Hopefully I'll get there next year...

You can add

  "DisablePocket": true 

(and many other things) to your policies.json file. In my case that file is a symlink to a single master copy I maintain outside of the FF installation folder. See https://mozilla.github.io/policy-templates/

They do, and it's jarring!

Even though I find memcpy and friends to be perfectly logical using the assignment analogy suggested by thwarted, I often need to re-read english sentences written that way.

TIL: Obama is a hippopotamus

I seem to recall they used to serve Scan meatballs (well known Swedish brand) but outsourced to someone else a few years ago as a cost saving measure. Or maybe that was just in Sweden, no idea really.

I used to occasionally visit the IKEA near the Sydney airport to get sweets and biscuits from home, but last time I was there it was all home-brand stuff, not quite the same as I was hoping for.

As for the meatballs, these days I just make my own and freeze them. Homemade are always better anyway.

Earlier today I watched a video where someone reported that his medium term youtube income averaged about 15 GBP per 10000 views (based on a couple of million views over a year). That's just about $20 US, or double what the sibling has responded. Both numbers seem reasonable to me, it's likely to be in that range $1-$2 per thousand.

It's been done:

Known as diagonal billing:

Goes back to at least 1941, according to that page

Several years ago I worked in a small office with a coke machine, and we would put the empty cans into a bin next to it that the cleaners would (presumably) take away from time to time.

At some point we noticed that the office was becoming infested with fruit flies, and after some investigation we discovered months or years worth of those cans in a closed off hallway, in a dozen giant trash bags.

My manager tossed a couple of the bags into the back of his car and drove to a nearby grocery store where there was a can recyling "machine" outside, that you could feed the cans into and get a receipt to cash in in the store. One. Can. At. A. Time. He spotted some kids skateboarding nearby and said "hey do you want to make some money" and gave them the cans, then made a couple more trips to get the rest of them.

Probably he could have gone inside and spoken to a manager to arrange a more efficient way to offload the cans, but those kids were absolutely stoked.

ingen nämnd, ingen glömd

There is a Swedish expression: nobody is named, and nobody is forgotten.

Usually you hear it in a workplace setting when people (often, a subset of the correct group) are being acknowleged for an acheivement of some kind.

As soon as you try to enumerate all of those groups you will undoubtedly forget someone, who will then take offense at the omission. So the saying is a reminder to not single out anyone.

Here are providers that offer spot pricing to consumers:

Aside from this, peak / off-peak pricing is not unusual.

At any rate, my point was not how many are, but how many remain to be vaccinated.

April 19: Quarantine free travel opens between NZ and Australia, as both countries are "covid free". Everyone looks forward to holidays and some limited return to travel normality.

May-June-July: NZ pauses quarantine free travel to NZ from some Aus states, resarts for some, pauses again, restarts for others, etc, etc, rinse and repeat, I can't figure out the actual timelines here. Some people are trapped while away and unable to return home.

July 24: NZ says fuck this and stops free travel from all of Australia until they get their shit together.

August: Australia experiences full-on outbreak

Currently about half of NZ is vaccinated, and there is worry we might need to go into another full lockdown if the delta variant arrives, after having virtually no covid in the community for over a year now. For now, I'm happy for the Australians to stay home.

I do wonder about this though: That partner also has to be five kilometres away from where you live.

Did they forget to say "at most"? (or, hmmm, "at least")

Last I checked, Ikea pencils are those stupidly short ones. Now you can take two or three and use this tool to make a full size one!

Well, as a Swedish speaker I will respectfully disagree with your pronunciation. To my ears the the y is not like the e in me, but I can't think of a good English equivalent.

(in fact, the girls name actually sounds like the greek letter "mu" as it's spelled and pronounced in Swedish)

A commenter to the wikipedia page I posted about the vancouver 9 o'clock gun makes a compelling point: it was all about providing a time signal for ships in port to set their onboard clocks.

There's one in Vancouver as well:

Brilliant! I'll give this a try, thanks.

I've tried this myself and failed.

But I genuinely wonder, why you think this is illegal. I mean, do you think that Apple's T&C are laws? I can't think of anything else that activity would be in violation of.
