Just a reminder here about how strict these leagues' social media policies are. My wife was reduced to tears when called by a furious board member (or some kind of management or head coach) over her tame comments online about being disappointed after a practice. My wife was told that we would be sent to tribunal over the matter.

Ditto. We went from having five channels, one snowy on a bad day, plus a bonus 6th channel when the stars aligned, to two channels at best.

The broadcasters and regulators took a basic fact about digital signals "We can get a better quality signal with less transmission power" and saw it as a challenge to set up their digital transmitters with the most conservative estimate of minimum power required. I haven't studied well enough for my amateur radio exam to know if I'm comparing apples to oranges, but I'm still shocked to see descriptions of transmitter power go from 100kW in one case to below 20kW.

Too bad Hindi isn't listed. I've found many a "Hearing Impaired" subtitle stream listed as such.

I still don't see where it says not to report crimes.

clergy must obey civil reporting requirements where they live, and that their obligation to report to the church in no way interferes with that.

"...thanks to advances in stem cell research and the fine work of Doctors Krinsky and Altschuler, he should regain full reproductive function again."

There are many examples of this, but one that comes immediately to mind is the evolution of my favourite LDAP-enabled music player, airsonic-advanced

Subsonic begat libresonic

Libresonic begat airsonic as well as a whole bunch of other projects.

Airsonic begat airsonic-advanced

Airsonic-advanced begat kagemomiji/airsonic-advanced, however the maintainer of the parent codebase, randomnicode, wants to do the right thing and get their code up to snuff with the opensubsonic API (not sure where that fits in to thr history) so kagemomji can take over.

HVAC systems.

When my wife and I we had to replace our forced air furnace and central air system in the late autumn due to carbon monoxide literally the evening before our son was to be born, I felt under pressure to get something in place.

I told them I needed a more powerful air conditioner for all the unique heat-generating equipment in my basement, especially since our old system had trouble keeping up. They said that the new unit was more than enough for the square footage. I reiterated again, that air conditioners don't cool square footage, they cool BTU's, and the average home doesn't have a grow op and server farm in the basement generating significant heat. Then, they decided to hit me with the old "I've been doing this for {x} decades" speech.

Needless to say, I've had to consolidate servers, stop indoor gardening, replace the bulbs in the house with those shitty blue-hued LED's that can't dim right (and dimmer switches to handle the change in load characteristics), take the weather into account when cooking indoors and clean both sets of A/C coils on a more frequent basis. The air conditioner still can't keep up and when we have a string of hot days, we can't always count on the cooler evenings to get the house back down to "room temperature".

Oh, and now our old chimney drips water into the basement.

...hospitals sell your information, too.

I feel so sorry for those of you living in places with for-profit healthcare.

It's a project by an Australian team, so one would assume two things:

1. It's in Australian Dollars.
2. Australia has experienced severe hyperinflation overnight (or earlier today, for many of us reading this)

This was definitely an unnecessarily gendered post. My wife's secondary function is transforming food into heat energy.

Ten 9/11's?

Jesus, that's... 8 and 2/11.
