Down here in Tasmania we have Black Currawongs (strepera fuliginosa) that patrol around on bin night calling out to each other when they find a wheelie bin they can smell food scraps in. An individual bird can open the lids on their own. Our neighbours countered this by zip tying full 600ml water bottles to the lid handles. Heavy enough that a bird couldn't lift the lid, but not heavy enough to stop the lid opening when the truck lifts the bin.

In response to this, the birds now work together in groups of 3 to open the lids. So people started zip tying two water bottles to the bins... the birds can't get past that as there isn't enough room for them to work in a group of 6.

Me, I just put some green waste on the top of my bin before I take it out. We've also replaced our front lawn with native plants and there's lots of things in there that the birds like to eat. When something in there goes to seed we'll often have 20+ currawongs.

They always leave my bins alone.

Begged my dad for a c64 in the early 90s. The sales guy at Dick Smith talked him into an Atari ST 520. Soon after Atari Australia went broke and I learned about exchange rates and the Great Britain Pound.

One reason is making it easy to scale things up or down for printing on standard sizes of paper.

It did that thinking about a helmet but didn't actually include a helmet. And there's no "actually, wait, this is just a cute little image no helmet" thought.

I've just returned home after doing a 100 day "half lap" of Australia in a camper trailer with my family. I made heavy use of gemini to plan much of it. Getting packed up with a general destination in mind and telling gemini "we're leaving X town at 10am and heading to Y, where should we stop for lunch. My wife has coeliac disease, find us somewhere that does good gluten free options" was one of the many things I regularly leant on it for.

Never had a bad suggestion.

Here in Australia our once public phone company, telstra, have converted many phone boxes to be free to use and also provide a small wifi AP.

Near the end of the 8.5 years that I worked at GitHub as an enterprise support engineer, I asked in an all hands if a "GitHub Classic" product had been considered. Much like World of Warcraft Classic, I imagined it would be a rewrite focused on matching the simpler feature set of the past.

I was basically given the same response that blizzard gave that question; "you think you want that but you don't".

Why is there no 17? :)

Thanks for sharing this approach, I'll give it a shot in my mono repo project.

And then consider that GitHub hasn't had their own CEO for a year now.

If you're talking about the US Landcruiser it's actually what we know as a Prado over here in Australia. My dream midlife crisis vehicle is a 2025 Landcruiser 79. Mostly for towing capacity and being able to access more offroad areas of Australia, but admittedly a lot of the appeal is just how awesome they look when decked out for "adventuring".
