Supplementary question: what’s the difference with kbin in this regard? Or is it dead.

Maybe a minimum life form as well.

- Comment on End of an era as Radio City tower hosts final live broadcast on Christmas Eve | Liverpool 3 weeks ago:
It’s a tricky industry I think.
We’re seeing about a 4% year on year decline in FM listeners if I remember correctly. Advertisers like metrics that radio can’t deliver. Spotify and YouTube are the main winners.
I still run a volunteer run community station and we’re able to break even, but with power bills over $1,000 a month plus insurances and other fees, it’s not so easy. We’re still having fun though :)
- Comment on I am about to board a flight. What sequence of events would occur if (by chance) for no apparent reason a window got completely smashed out? 4 weeks ago:
Similar happened to a pilot some years ago when the windscreen ejected itself. (wrong bolts if I remember the air crash investigation episode.) He survived though. Was held by co pilot.

Pretty mental isn’t it!
I’m in Australia. We might be a bit nuts over here but at least we have Medicare. Private health insurance is optional and becoming increasingly expensive, but the public system, although stressed, covers everyone.

- Comment on What are your most recent games played? 1 month ago:
I think pool would be harder to emulate than pinball unless using a real cue and VR. It’d be hard to have a one to one user interface for this whereas pinball is mostly binary since flippers went electronic.
That said, I’ve fond memories of some pool games in the DOS / '95 era. The duration of the mouse click being the analog to the cue force.

Hehe you’re right kinda.
I take my phone data offline after about midnight and if I can’t sleep I’ll do Solitaire or crosswords.
If I’m really wanting a good game, Zen Pinball is my poison.

Google News does the right thing here. I presume it’s cross platform but haven’t tried on an iDevice.

At last, a reply that understands the difference between heat pumps vs resistive heating.
- Comment on Why do cell phones have a data limit but home internet doesn't? 2 months ago:
This tower has about a 20km radius on average due to topography, covers a stretch of the New England Highway and also covers the nearby village of Black Mountain. A good few hundred phones will be in range I expect.
The tower also has cells for Optus and Vodafone, but they are a significant minority of customers in this area.
- Comment on Why do cell phones have a data limit but home internet doesn't? 2 months ago:
For cell / mobile phones, you’re sharing the capacity of the cell among multiple people.
In this example, a rural cell tower can provide up to 395Mbps.
It would only take 40 people watching Kayo at high definition (or any high definition video service) via their phone or a 4G router to saturate this tower.
For everyone else at this time, it’ll still work but even though they might have a strong radio signal (lots of bars), the internet will become slow.

I remember the 80s ads where the right side of the letter K was imposed over a woman in profile’s lips on a gaping mouth.
Something along the lines of “Special K keeps you looking good.”
