I'm curious to know who is going to pay to keep it airworthy, if DT does leave office? Those things aren't cheap to maintain.

If he leaves office he won't be in a position to grant political favours to friends.

Thank you so much ! /s Come and join me where the options are many and the price is so cheap. /s /s

If you'd like to experience what it's like to access the internet sans Starlink, perhaps you could just throttle your modem to 8 or even 10 Mbps. Yes? No? Then consider how lucky you are, and have some empathy for those of us who have little or no alternative.

I invite you to join me in rural Australia, and choose from the many options available. /s

Get rid of the parking, sure. Extend the footpath/sidewalk into that space, sure. But the footpath/sidewalk outside their shop is publicly-owned, it's not private property. Will the shopkeepers commit to keeping clean and tidy? Will they commit to maintaining it (cracks in concrete, trip hazards, etc), or is that still the council's job? I don't think they should get to use it for free, or without some sort of commitment to maintain it.

Extra free floor space. Or do those cafes and restaurants pay some sort of permit fee?

Because I hate pedestrian bottlenecks caused by cafe tables on the footpath. Even worse when groups of tourists stop walking right there to stare at the menu and discuss whether to have lunch there or somewhere else. Move aside, please. Not all of us are on holidays.

This also works: shift-F10 before you get to the network configuration, then type this and press enter start ms-cxh:localonly

For either method, if you configure networking during setup, e.g. plug in an ethernet cable or give it the wi-fi password, it'll keep returning to the online account screen. You need to do it prior to network config.

I'd like to know what they're going to do about the heating issue. Concentrating solar radiation carries with it an increased heat load. And heat reduces solar PV efficiency. I'm already losing about 30% in summer when the panels heat up.

Rank is less important than the presence or absence of chicken salt.

There are states in Australia that can swallow Texas whole. Long distance driving is unavoidable, so it's less useful as a metric because it can't be changed easily. It would mean improving public transport, subsidising domestic flights, etc - and we all know how likely that is.

What about the Stay-puft^tm^ Marshmallow Man?
