Micro-retirement
  • And Australia for the most part. I don't think there's a legal requirement for people to take a minimum amount of leave every year, but there's definitely a 20 day annual entitlement.

  • Tesla sales drop in Europe for fifth month in a row
  • who had hoped anger toward Elon Musk would have faded by now

    Even fucking goldfish remember what he's done. He has irreversibly associated Nazism with Tesla at the same time that cheaper and better electric vehicles are coming out of China. The only way is down and that's not going to change until he is no longer part of Tesla and a lot of time has passed.

  • xkcd #3106: Farads
  • That's similar to saying "Auf Wiedersehen" translated to English is "until I see you again", therefore "Auf Wiedersehen" is technically English. Just because there's a recognised translation to a thing, that doesn't make it that thing.

  • Parents are charged after their son, 7, is struck dead by a driver
  • You don't drive a car without willingness to kill

    It has been a while since I've come across a statement that leaves me wondering how anyone came to such a disconnect with reality. Watching these mental gymnastics is making me sea sick.

    I drive a car with a willingness to get from where I am to where I'm going, quickly. A comparison to a gun is just retarded: guns are killing machines because that is their sole purpose. The purpose of cars is fast transport of people and cargo.

    Now, "murder" needs to show intent, and it sounds like you're concluding anyone who is killed by a car is murdered because drivers must intend on killing someone simply because they got behind the wheel. I'm going to go ahead and assume you either a) don't have any friends or family who drive, or, more likely, b) don't have any friends and don't talk to your family.

  • How do you use Dropbox business?

    I am absolutely sick of Windoze and I'm trying out Linux Mint for my work computer. This has been a bit of a learning curve but I have almost everything working the way I want... but the sticking point is my company uses Dropbox for all file sharing and repository.

    I first naively installed Dropbox from the Software Installer but that tried to sync the entire company (many TBs) to my computer. It seems there is no Smart Sync option.

    Next I installed Rclone and logged in using that, but it seems to be completely command line based which is absolutely useless. There is no way I'm going to sit here typing out full directory paths and file names every time I need to access something (which is always). I then installed RcloneBrowser, and later the Rclone web GUI, however they BOTH skip the parent folder and put me directly one level down, which is also useless.

    Ok I know what you're thinking. I need to create an alias, right? So I did, and my config file now has the lines

    [DB]

    type = alias

    remote = Dropbox:/

    but this makes no difference in the web GUI or RcloneBrowser! The frustrating thing is if I use the command line the results I get are:

    rclone lsd Dropbox:/ parent directory. Good so far...

    rclone lsd DB: parent directory! Yay! So why doesn't this work on either GUI???

    If I can't get this to work then I will have to get rid of Linux unfortunately. I can see in many forums I am not the first to have massive issues with Dropbox, but it seems the alias approach works for everyone else. What am I doing wrong?

    Can anyone explain the cost of Australia's C-130Js?

    Apart from Australia getting completely ripped off, I am wondering if anyone had any insight into why they're paying almost $500 million for an aircraft that is worth about a fifth of that amount. This has got to be a continuation of the hilarious AUKUS joke that's been played on them, correct?
