  • I occasionally accidentally open the fandom page for a game on Chrome with no ad block (which I keep around for Google apps) and it’s unusable. Go there on Firefox with ublock origin and it’s fine

    And there’s worse sites than that

    Download sites for things like Minecraft mods have several competing “download” buttons without ad block

    It’s nuts people might accept these, let alone want them

    I live in Canberra, Australia and we also have an excellent climate for olives and lemons. Apples and practically all citrus also do well and plums and other stone fruit grow like topsi. Figs too.

    Deep inland, 600m elevation

    We need to protect many of our fruit trees from birds, but not olives, apples, or citrus


  • Whole reimplementations have survived. IBM BIOS was the only original BIOS for PCs. Phoenix Technologies had a team read the source code for IBM BIOS (it was published in the user manual for troubleshooting) and wrote a specification for it which a different team wrote software from, making IBM compatible machines possible

    I don’t know what law an emulator could be killed under, unless a license holder breached the user license as part of the development


  • Right, so you’ll hope it’ll stabilise prices, penalise people for moving home if it doesn’t work, penalise people for moving home regardless if they bought before this measure

    The general idea is you tax things you want to stop, do you think it’s a good idea taxing selling one house to buy another to live in? I thought it was investment properties you didn’t like.

    1. Why go after the paper gains of people moving from one primary residence to a different one?
    2. Taxes on investment houses are directly passed on to tenants, raising rent

    People who bought a very cheap house twenty years ago might have a million dollar capital gain and a $30,000 income. If they wanted to move they couldn’t sell that house and buy another under your scheme

    I quite like the current policy in Canberra, Australia, where land tax is levied on rental properties, but not if you rent it at a lower rent


  • I guess using two good sources is good. If you get different results you can just not trust that ID

    The danger of using a universal guide is it opens more confusion. The death cap in my earlier comment is an example, a Chinese guide will tell you a mushroom that looks like that is good; an Australian guide will tell you it’s deadly

    For a differentiation of the two you need to check in more detail, but if you had the local you’d be fine as there’s no safe mushroom that looks like that here and no dangerous one that lives there

    With a smaller set identification is easier




  • A large category of dead mushroom hunters is people who know the mushrooms of where they are from, but find mushrooms elsewhere that look like a good one from home

    In my city it’s Chinese trained mushroomers thinking death caps are a good eating mushroom (it isn’t)
