Because it's totally unnecessary for a home user.

We use Cisco gear at most of our depots for wireless, which if I got for free I most certainly would not want in my fuckin house.

I wouldn't use half of it either, not least of which is due to how much electricity they consume.

However, an AP is pretty small and usually looks alright because it's designed to go in working areas around an office. Plus they'll support things like PoE so you don't have to worry about running electrical cable when you decide where to place it. If your switch doesn't support PoE you can get an injector fairly cheap too. This is especially important in places like Queensland as its illegal to run cables (yes even Ethernet) though walls yourself, so it opens up a lot more placement options you otherwise wouldn't have.

The hardware itself with a simple web interface like OpenWRT is a pretty solid and reliable thing that I'll happily take over the junk consumer stuff I've had in the past.

I’ve always had a mild dislike for the dinky little guitar solo in Johnny cashes version so it really stuck in my craw in walk the line when they were recording it in the studio and the guitarist came up with his solo part and everyone was like ‘yep that’s it that’s the one’ like wow really you sure you don’t want another take?

I also really like that Beatles album where George Martin just mashed up a bunch of studio takes of all their songs and did some goofy poo poo like throwing the taxman solo into ‘drive my car’ and stuff like that. Lotta really lame guitar solos from that era are considered iconic for poor reasons imo and the more spastic style of taxman or for another example, the kinks in general, was a superior style of guitar noodling.

Yeah nah mate, I've heard it. If you're listening to Johnny Cash for the guitar solos you're doing it all cockeyed.

Lay the cable on the ground and then cover it up with a mound of dirt. Same effect as digging a trench really, but without the digging. Kind of like a reverse trench, if you will

And if you put some real thought into it can use inverted trench to divert rain water to race paddle-pop sticks in when the rains come.

The shopping center isn't much better. People have pulled knives and police have been called to break up fights over toilet paper already.

I went down to my local shops and not a toilet roll to be found. You'd think covid-19 gives everyone the squirts or something.

Meanwhile these idiots accidentally bought $3000 worth of toilet paper (allegedly just before the crisis) and are now probably millionaires selling it all off to boomers for triple the price.

i think its very funny. Like, its something you'd write in a movie or something, just people being completely irrational and stupid. And in the end, its all about wiping butts which is pretty good.

I walked past the shop and some posh lady scoffed loudly and was like "Hah! Lemmings!" at all the people with the TP.

I think even for home-brand products they almost always prefer a domestic supplier. I can't think of any chinese-made toilet paper brands off the top of my head.

I sold 90% of my games workshop horde on facebook and made enough to fun my entire current computer. There where plenty of lowballs but for the most part I got what I asked for items. Best lowball was a bloke who told me my Empire army was only worth $200 when I wanted $600 for 2500 points worth. I ended up spliting it and made more than I was asking with the majority of the rank and file troops going for like $300 or so.

Stores only have enough space to maybe have 12-32 hours of toilet paper stock depending on a few factors. Theres no general reserve, apart from whatever is on sale that week (and maybe last week) theres none in storage at all. If theres a sudden unexpected spike in sales then theres going to be a 12-24 hour window for more to get delivered, and then maybe a few deliveries before the extra demand is properly compensated for.

On top of this every grocery manager in the country would have been personally blamed for this by their superiors and told to order 10 pallets of every kind of toilet paper to cover the demand. Unless someone intervenes quickly then the stores that come first in the picking order get all the toilet paper and when the distribution center runs out then the rest of the stores may get none.

This situation probably repeats itself at the distribution centre level and on and on and on. All when the actual supply of toilet paper was unaffected.

I doubt any supermarkets will be having specials on TP for the next couple of weeks but once demand stabilises they're going to be stuck with excess stock, so that might be a good time to stock up.

Stoner/doom/sludge and heavy psychedelic music all borrows heavily from blues and sometimes even country and if you like face melters over right hand chuggin it is the place to be.

The toilet paper thing will continue to be amusing when you consider there's gonna be a lot of people staring at piles of poo poo tickets taking up an inconvenient amount of space in their lovely single story masterton home in some hosed housing estate in western Sydney.

A mate of mine has been getting into 40k lately after doing it as a teenager. He doesn’t play the game though, he just likes painting the little men to look as cool as possible to display on his nerd shelf, which I think is probably the most sane way to go about 40k if you’re going to do it.

Fwiw, Games Workshop has done a decent job lately of tightening up the ruleset to make the game actually fun, plus are working on being more inclusive and trying to cleanout the neckbeardy dregs that dominated the scene for ages.

Yeah, I went to a workshop GW ran at a pub up here a while back. Basically an intro painting course, they gave you a model and some paints and brushes and a painting guide to follow. It was actually really fun and the guys running it were really friendly and helpful. I actually considered picking it up just for the painting but edge highlighting drove me up the loving wall
