Sorry, I clarified the title and broke your joke

HBO Max doesn’t exist in Australia. It’s on Stan, Foxtel Now and Amazon Prime here.

Watched it for the first time following Furiosa. I’ve seen fewer seeders on new releases.

I was pretty miffed when I realised “gas town”'s primary export was petrol and not, you know, gas.

Care to share any favourites?

Context, presumably

It’s a true story

Oh god you reminded me of this gem

https://serverfault.com/questions/780150/how-to-cache-contents-in-haproxy#780155

Someone asks how to do http caching in HAproxy.

The one answer:

don’t use the wrong tool

haproxy is a wonderful tool. It does not provide caching. A quick scan of the fine docs can verify this. Unless you want to patch haproxy you need to use a tool that does what you’re looking to do.

don’t create impossible problems

By asking for haproxy to do something that it doesn’t and excluding the tool that seems to do what you want to do you’ve create an impossible situation. There is no technical solution for this. Don’t make choices that box you into a corner.

try varnish or anything that actually caches

If you get over that you might find this tutorial on using varnish with haproxy useful or try varnish by itself. Maybe squid or memcached would be more your speed.

In the comments to this ludicrous tirade we get this simple comment:

This was true and valid back then. Nowadays HAProxy does this.

And just in case someone found this looking for an answer, here’s the example from that link

backend bck1
  mode http

  http-request cache-use foobar
  http-response cache-store foobar
  server srv1 127.0.0.1:80

cache foobar
  total-max-size 4
  max-age 240

fucking bone

Is that what they’re calling it these days?

From the article

The company said the client was then moved to A O’Hare Funeral Directors at Leichhardt where doctors and perfusionists, who operate heart-lung bypass machines, worked to pump a liquid, which acts as a type of anti-freeze, through the body to help preserve cells and lower the body’s temperature.

It’s a pretty crude description for an audience not expected to know anything about this, but even so it’s obvious they’re not just shoving a body in liquid nitrogen and calling it a day.

For technical purposes that need to handle both you can just disambiguate it with “Letter (new)” and “Letter (work or school)”

A right not being reserved does not mean it is waived, only that it is not exclusive. The last person to commit still has the right to commit, as does everyone else.

Banducci is set to retire from the Woolworths Group in September 2024. The announcement occurred days after Banducci made national headlines for walking out of an interview with the ABC’s four corners as part of their investigation into price gouging by major supermarkets in Australia.[3]

I don’t think I’ve ever seen an “odd bunch” veggie that i wouldn’t be happy to pick off the shelf, but I’ve seen plenty on the shelf I wouldn’t pick

Netflix baited me into a “new” sci-fi horror show. When it got to the end I looked up when the next season would be out.

Not only was it cancelled, it was cancelled without conclusion ten years ago.

Apparently it was only “new” to Netflix, but that didn’t stop them pushing it as new content.

I still have Netflix, the streaming landscape is marginally less fragmented here. But fucking hell is it a bizarre chore just trying to find where on the home page “continue watching” and “my list” are today.

The ones near me don’t have buttons of any kind

Just in case you’re not just satirically listing things that are already awful;

Supermarkets increase their “retention” by limiting signage to keep you wandering and avoid “just get that thing and go” shopping. I don’t know how common this is, but when I was a kid the major supermarkets had long lists of what items were in each aisle, plus highly visible signs in the aisle to show exactly where each category was. Now days at the major chains those in aisle signs are completely gone, and the categories have been whittled down to a few major categories; most products aren’t represented on the sign at all e.g. you have to assume “cake mix/decorating” are in the same aisle as “flour”.

Unskippable ads on all pumps are absolutely a thing that are getting more popular. Mobil is particularly bad for it in my experience.
