The very very few things I care to watch any more (and those almost entirely SBS and ABC) I can watch online. The other channels put together would be lucky to show anything I care about a few times a year. If they won't stream it online I just don't bother. If they won't put on any stuff I care to watch, that's their problem. My TV isn't even plugged into an aerial any more, it's only there to maybe use with the old games machines or maybe watch an old DVD

33 arty, wow. Still hitting logistics hard too, by the look.

Just need to get AI on that.

Waiting for 100% oral exams to make a comeback.

heh, all of them (plus several others) were on my list of "never buy from them" list a decade ago. Never had any reason to reconsider

Well, that's something I hadn't seen before.

It's a publicly traded company. It's owned by shareholders. You may be thinking of the CEO.

"one fifth the mass" is not the same thing as "five times lighter"

Consider something that weighs half as much. It's 50% lighter ... 0.5 times lighter. Something that weighs 0.2 times as much has 20% of the weight, and is 80% lighter. If it weighed 1% as much, it would be 99% lighter (0.99 times lighter). If it was 100% lighter ... it would weigh nothing. Five times lighter would be -4 times the original mass.

We already have accurate and precise ways to describe less mass (albeit leaving aside for the moment the distinction between mass and weight). It's no harder to say "one fifth" than "five times", but only one is correctly describing what is going on.

Yeah. Not a certainty, even with everything, but sure -- an increasingly solid chance of it.

And if it's the first time you've seen that xkcd link, congratulations, you are one of today's meta-10000

I'm not completely off reddit yet (reduced interaction but still disentangling from it, it'll probably take a little while yet to be completely gone), but I made the account I have there now in August 2008, just shy of 15 years ago. I lurked for a good while before making that account though. (edit: > 150K comment karma, most participation on low volume subs)
