I loved FrontPage. You could whip up a site in no time. The code it created was a disaster, but to be fair it worked fine.
I’d often use a WUSSYWAGON editor like FrontPage to make up a design and see how it looked, then just redo it by hand (or at least MAJORLY edit it) in Notepad so it wasn’t spaghetti.
I made a site for my dad’s business in FrontPage (then edited in Notepad) back in the very early 00s and hosted it on the 5MB of web space provided by the dialup provider at the time. It’s still there and exactly the same, though I had to move it to another provider in the late 00s when the ISP went bust. It’s gonna outlive him, and possibly me.

It’s what Wunderlist used to be like before Microsoft bought them and buggered it up, but keeps getting improvements.

This is a sad one 😥
Everything is sealed, and generally water proof in general. I’m sure you’ve seen sump pumps, aquarium wave makers, fuel pumps…
Electric is so much more reliable than combustion. Literally it’s only downside is the energy density of the batteries.
I’ve never seen an electric vehicle drive through water.
I’d be more worried about the ICE a Shark is carrying around then the EV part tbh
I use Android Auto so the “infotainment” system is pretty much just a screen for Android Auto to me. I’m sure it works fine under there though.
I have found that being slightly racist and doing a bit of a Chinese accent makes the BYD voice assistant understand me better 😬 I do not do this when other people are in the car because… well, obvious reasons.
… You wouldn’t take a Shark through a crossing that an Outlander can handle? :-\
Outlander has 190mm of ground clearance and a wading depth of 400mm, the Shark has 230mm of ground clearance and a wading depth of 600mm (or 700mm, depending on which website you believe).
I’ve got no need or interest in a dual cab, but we’ve got a BYD Seal and love it.
Chinese manufacturers are kicking arse, and making the usual brands look antiquated and overpriced.

I’ve always thought that mold is the fungus, and to mould is to shape.
I actually do this too. Not because I think it’s correct as such, but because that way I am consistent and I know what I’m talking about when I read back previous text that I’ve written.
I remember it by Mold = simplified English = simple organism.
On Monday, July 12, NSW Police received a report that 63,000 Bluey-themed $1 coins had been stolen from a warehouse in Wetherhill Park.
They featured images of Bluey cartoon characters and were set to be released in September, with police saying the haul of 63,000 coins was worth more than $600,000.
That’s some illicit drugs “street value” bullshit going on there.
lol, remember the last two elections where Labor took even the tiniest hint of housing reform to the election? Liberal landslide.
Is there a more over hyped bit of drama at the minute than old mates house buy or what?
Sydney’s median house price is 1.7 million. You reckon the PM of this country can’t buy a house worth three times median?
Old Turnbull who fucked the NBN sits in his 50 million dollar joint without a raised eyebrow, and Dutton the creepy potato rolls in worth 300 million and that’s cool… But the bloke who is in the highest position you can possibly be in can’t buy a nice place to live?
I bet half the talking heads on free to air pretending to be outraged at this are living in properties of similar value the hypocritical fucks.
God it would be good to be doing something positive and proactive for once.
I’m sick of always having the option between Option A: “world leading, best practice, transformative, long term project” and Option B: “regressive, poorly planned, guaranteed to result in private profits for a few but public debt for many” and we always end up with B. So, so many B options. Always the B.
