much better than anyone before him within the last few hundred years

John XXIII was pretty progressive, wouldn't you think?

That's far too subtle to even register on Trump's feeble brain cell.

Penis model can't consent.

Girl is de-facto guardian.

Girl implies consent by inviting anon to try it.

Infosys is a mistake. It's a poor choice for anyone.

Lots of restaurants and cafes pouring their waste cooking oil down the sink instead of paying a collection service.

Disclaimer - I have a starlink terminal. I feel that the complaints should be made to the various governments that haven't mandated modern terrestrial technologies to those of us outside metro areas.

I live 14km/9m from a town with underground fibre optic. The best I can hope for is geo-synch satellite with data caps and latency around 600ms. I will never see fibre optic rolled out here. I can sort of understand, it's quite expensive and needs to be balanced against income from operations to justify it. But they rolled out electricity, and they rolled out PSTN, so the justification was found in those cases.

So, Starlink found a need and filled it. Had governments filled the need instead, the problem wouldn't exist.

Same in Australia. The libnats (right-leaning) broke the fibre-optic rollout by claiming it would be too expensive, and replaced it in non-metro areas with wireless, claiming 25Mbps was adequate. They didn't mention that slow internet would benefit the Murdoch -owned Foxtel satellite services. And here we are now with internet services worse than some poorer countries.

I chose Starlink because I will never get fibre optic, my only broadband option is geo-synch satellite, with speed and data caps, and 600ms latency.

Underfloor heating is great. Underfloor cooling without some form of dehydration will lead to condensation, moisture, and mould.

"canceling annual plans could trigger fees amounting to 50 percent of their remaining subscription cost" You cannot unilaterally change the T&Cs without an option to opt out of the new conditions, but still insist on the old T&C terms. WTF is wrong with Adobe, are they stupid?
