In NZ the liability is generally on you and not the accountant.

I just finished the full cast Harry Potter audiobooks and they were fantastic.

Currently reading and recommending - Endurance by Alfred Lansing. Sir Earnest Shackleton’s attempt to cross the Antarctic.

I did this in my backyard in NZ. Built out of "Structural Insulated Panels" it holds the heat well over winter and never gets too hot over summer.

I spent about 14-15k NZD 2 years ago to get it setup. I wish I had done it years ago.

I used to check this occasionally and it was always fairly accurate but this year in particular it has been wildly wrong. Loads of random torrents appearing on my IPs and then checking other IPs I know for sure can’t have torrents running it reports more random collections.

I’m not sure if the service just makes things up now or it’s a result of people flooding bit torrent with random IPs to try hide themselves?

I'm not sure I the Tamagotchi deserves a place on here.

Did anything really kill it? It was kind of just a fad in the late 90s and its still around, not as popular as its fad stages but still reasonably popular. We just got back from Japan last week, there is a newly opened "Tamagotchi Factory" shop which was packed. The kids each picked up one of the latest versions and have been playing with them every day.

I came from dealing with various node / ruby / python versions across multiple projects where I used nvim / rbenv and some python manager. Miss is nice as you can just switch to it and not relearn anything, it just works with the old configs.

I haven’t tried make with our setup but nix was too much of a hassle. Especially when some projects required old versions of libraries across dev (macOS) and staging/prod for various Linux OS.

I had this exp too, but I trialed the pro sub a few weeks back and it has been great. I have no complaints this time

Not sure about stress, but definitely have the same exp re sleep. If I’m tired the ringing is very noticeable, when I wake up early after a late night it can be deafening. But besides from noticing it being “louder” it seems to go away, or I just ignore it.

I loved GTA II and spent hours playing it when I was about 14 or so. I don't recall keeping up with III's development at all and I remember seeing it popup on Kazaa one day, in an exe not much over 100mb. I was expecting another top down addition to the series and my mind was blown. Not only that it was this massive 3d game, but that someone had managed to compress it all down to such a small package.
