Logitech has an idea for a “forever mouse” that requires a subscription
  • Not sure if /s or not, but I’ll bite. That’s the opposite of what they’ve stated in the article. This would be a mouse that you buy and use forever, no physical upgrades, just software. There is no value for the customer, only the shareholders.

    How can i make myself poisonous to mosquitos?
  • Anecdotally I have to disagree, for years I didn’t like or eat bananas, and most of my meal bases start with garlic and onion, but I’m always the first to get attacked by mosquitos.

    Cash still king for many, despite push for card-only payments
  • Depends largely on where you are, but in Germany it’s fairly common to carry and pay by cash, something I’m going to have to get used to since moving from AU.

    My disdain for mega banks knowns no end
  • Yeah until recently I was drinking that much, but I never noticed a change in my energy levels from coffee. I could also have coffee quite late in the evening and not have trouble sleeping.

    I recently cut back to max 1 a day (sometimes going days without) and haven’t noticed any change.

    Why English language is sometimes "lazy", sometimes not
  • Here is a good explanation of both words, basically play/resume comes from Latin (take up again) and CV/resume should be résumé, the past participle of resumer, to sum up, because you’re takin a summary of your experience.

    Animal homosexual behaviour under-reported by scientists, survey shows
  • if you instead say you're going to teach them consensus reality, and use words like "education" and "lifting out of poverty" and "they're being deprived with their biological parents", you'll convince more people that kidnapping is morally right.

    Excuse me, what? In what modern context is this occurring? That Australians think this is morally right? I run in very left wing circles, but I don’t think I know of any Australian who thinks this is a morally right positions, or that when this was done it the past it was ok, save maybe extremists like Pauline Hanson, even then I don’t think she’d put that opinion out there in public.

    Also this doesn’t make sense, you say you can teach a child religion by putting a church in their community, but the only way to teach them consensus reality is to kidnap them, instead of, I don’t know, building a school in their community?

    For the record, as a rule I don’t support cultural genocide, all indigenous peoples should be given equal opportunity to stay connected to their heritage as well as participate in “consensus reality”, one shouldn’t have to choose, especially if one’s people have existed on the land for 50k+ years.
