It is?! Must look into that. Still my favourite game of all time.

Dearest American friends,

I’m happy for you. Given your tax system this seems like a really positive step forward.

I hope it makes your lives better.

Perfect. Thank you.

Can you tell me a little more about this please?

I haven’t come across a smart switch before as I generally try to minimise the number of smart devices in my home. I presume you have to pair your phone with something. It sounds quite intriguing.

I fully agree. Like even 90% would reduce the amount of waste significantly without really impacting usability.

I got a reasonably high end phone for my last one (about €500 at the time) and it survived so so well and I only learned about the 80% thing about 2 years into it and still was charging it to full occasionally.

This automatic 80% thing that just came in is great.

Some newer phones allow you to stop charging at 80% which will essentially extend the life of your battery for as many years as you want it.

Settings->battery->stop charging at 80%

I get a full day out of 80% and I’m nearly always near a charging source so I use it and haven’t found any issues with it.

I am pretty sure this only showed up in Android 14 for me. OnePlus phone.

Hahaha. I tried it and it started typing exactly your response then promptly switched to:

I’m just a language model, so I can’t help you with that.

Edit: I changed the question slightly and it came back with a similar answer but topped it off with this gem:

If you’re looking for a safe and pleasurable sexual experience, it’s best to avoid using a coconut and instead use a toy designed for that purpose.

What the what? Who is paying $23 for that???

The reviews are quality.

I can confirm that the rules do apply to the sender. You have to declare on a package what’s inside. For businesses using the normal postal system this is generally done electronically and also printed on the package so they’ll just be intercepted and binned. We ship product to Australia frequently and this is how it’s done. Same with private carriers but slightly different process. It’s still clear what’s inside.

Even if they try to avoid the ban by not putting correct customs information it’ll quickly become apparent to Australian customs which packages to seize who will then work directly with the private carrier if necessary (though it is prohibitively expensive to ship to more remote locations in Australia with private carriers so unlikely they will be used).

In short this is bluster.

That’s really useful information. Thanks for taking the time.

One sludge please.

Well spotted
