- Comment on The retro Nokia phone everyone owned 25 years ago will get a reboot soon – and yes, it has Snake 1 week ago:
8210, the smallest andnd not as robust as the 33.
I had a 6310, supposed business phone, which was a great all-rounder. Only downside was it had the outline of a dick.
- Comment on My opinion on Bone conduction earphones 4 weeks ago:
I try to connect ot before putting on my head. Also, to pull the pads off ear or put the whole thing around neck before doing a volume change. For an absolutely amazing headphone experience, this is a regrettable annoyance.
- Comment on My opinion on Bone conduction earphones 4 weeks ago:
A note about the Aftershockz is that the bluetooth connect beep is very loud and cannot be adjusted.
- Comment on My opinion on Bone conduction earphones 4 weeks ago:
In a quiet setting, with the headphones raised to 70-100% volume, people within 1-2m will be able to make out what you are listening too.
(This is with Aeropex Aftershockz)
Keep in mind, at 100% volume they buzz and tickle on your skin, so I never have them set to 100% ever.
60-70% is clear enough for enjoyable listening.
- Comment on How does the day-to-day work of not wearing shoes in the house? 4 weeks ago:
Added benefit of socks is being able to do a ‘turn on your heel’ little spin 180 move.
It’s fun and satisfying, for me at least.
We have tiled floors and a sock lets you rotate easily on one heel, when you want to turn around. I never gave the saying any thought before this(“to turn on ones heel”).

Yes, avoiding leaf buildup or avoiding water over-run on the flashing is important, but it is mainly because there is only one correct answer when,as humans, we get a chance to answer the question “Do you want to live inside a giant pangolin?”
- Comment on How do I brew this brick of tea? 2 months ago:
In the Chinese style of tea making, there is a short prewash of the leaves.
Put the tea leaves in the pot, and then add enough water to cover the leaves, swirl for 3 seconds and pour out the water. Then fill the pot with hot water to brew the tea to use.

- Comment on What were some of your favourite Australian TV shos?w 2 months ago:
Alexander Bunyip’s Billabong! !
Before Agro there was a semi-neurotic bunyip named Alexander.
Where they dreamt up sketches like “The Muffler Bird”
Off the wall and Aussie as.

So hilariously and ridiculously gross. The fake blood cost must have been half the show budget!
- Comment on What were some of your favourite Australian TV shos?w 2 months ago:
A pisstake of A Country Practice. Comedic gold adapted to TV after an improv theatrical run.
A phone-in Choose Your Own Adventure style narrative from show to show, was cutting edge interactivity in the 90s.
Greatest Aussie show ever (yes, I know Big Gig, D-Gen, Late Show and DAAS were a thing).
Do yourself a favour and search out some episodes on your favourite video services.
(* I saw Peter Rowsthorn in Fremantle on the street, and I was too slow to shout out a “W W W W Warren”)

I saw a theatrical performace in 1997, called The Peplum by theatre company Royal de Luxe.
It included ‘odorama’, a contraption that looked like a TV studio camera on dolly rails across the front of the stage, that sprayed the audience stands with about 6 different smells throughout the performance.
One of the smells was horse manure, which was a nervous shock for the audience. Yes it smelt like horse poo.
A very memorable performance, because of the smells, but also the exceptional company behind it.

I searched and found this playlist of alternate carols last week.

A cheerful mix of science, cthuhlu, and athiestic themed carols.

- Comment on Why don't nice plain chocolate biscuits exist? 5 months ago:
OK, gotcha.
You may have to put that ‘El Dorado’ to bed and settle for Florentines :P
Otherwise, we have had success finding quality flavoured shortbread biscuits at the farmer’s markets type places. If they don’t make a choc flavour, you can at least talk face to face with the person who chooses and makes the flavours for the next week.
- Comment on Why don't nice plain chocolate biscuits exist? 5 months ago:
PS. You may want to try Mcvitie’s Digestives for a simple choc biscuit.
- Comment on Why don't nice plain chocolate biscuits exist? 5 months ago:
Florentines are the greatest ‘choc’ biscuit, imho. (Usually need to go to Italian mercato style places to get good ones)
Could have been Kingstons on the top, but they’re 42% sugar, it’s just too much.

I’ve used Limesurvey(GPL2) previously to poll large groups, which was very straightforward to set up. Looks like it has an assessments feature too.
