Yeah, my parents got a Hyundai Kona last year and they've managed to balance physical buttons and a touchscreen pretty well. Hazard lights, windows, the AC, and all the steering wheel and stalk controls are physical. It's not perfect but they also looked at a Volvo EX30 and that thing was basically a Tesla copycat. I would hate to drive one of those.

Local units have the responsibility for training all their new members, so if they receive too many applications (or they lack the capability to train new people) they will have to turn people away.

How does it taste? Is it very different to a chicken egg?

Picture of a candle flame with a blue glow at the bottom and yellow at the top.

Candles often have blue at the base of the flame

While reducing his sources of income will hurt him a little bit, unfortunately Starlink is very appealing to militaries and emergency services. Being able to access the internet is great for morale in the navy, and mission critical for plenty of emergency services. This is particularly true in Australia where we have vast unpopulated areas with very patchy phone coverage, let alone bandwidth for data services. I know some services are installing starlink as emergency backups for stations and in forward command vehicles. They'll be paying the big bucks for Starlink.

Orecchiette. It's a very small cup (the name means little ear) which holds a little bit of sauce, but not so much that you get overzealous and try to fill it up.

Yeah, I stink after a day of work, but I'd probably get away with once every two days if I had a desk job and drove to work.

Yeah, went to donate but they'd shut up shop already. Melted like snowflakes

All you'd have to do to make it much more readable is separate the time and the year with some kind of separator like a hyphen, slash or dot. Also "Z" is the time zone, denoting UTC (see also military time zones)

So virtually human unreadable and the letters make machine readability a pain in the ass?
