Xbox box

Xbox box

Selling my Xbox series X to help cover medical costs and house costs and just.... Costs

This model is a disc 1tb, looks like it goes for around $600 on marketplace.

Would rather sell to a friend a little cheaper so give me an offer.

I'm not giving them clicks but surely in the time it takes to get copilot to make an appointment, you could schedule it yourself.

If they make it so copilot could call the dentist on my behalf and then schedule the appointment maybe but I have hotdoc for that anyway.

The only comfort I have is thinking about the size of the write down the capex will need in the future.

Even if they achieve the level of intelligence they think they will (they won't), they'll never make back the investment.

But how else can they claim more people are installing copilot every quarter?

Minns is sad he wasn't around to storm the beaches back in 1788

The land and waters are not his or any other settlers to "take back"

Aboriginal land

Respect Country, that you now call home. Respect First Peoples, who are kin to Country

On the right is the foam block I carved out, covered with black waterbase printing paint.  To the left are two inked pieces of paper, one is yellow photocopy paper and other is mother of pearl board. Both had their backs sprayed with water before placing on the inked foam block. 

Design is two white snakes by a water hole. Their tails form part of the hill range in the background. Rain is falling on the hills and black plains. At the top are stars and a cresent moon.

The artwork rests on a fading antique black table.

Third ink block design. Still can't draw, don't have the right grade paper/board, and need to purchase a baren (pressing tool). This time, I used a rolling pin to push the paper into the inked block. This design started when the words "They came down from the hills" randomly popped into my thoughts

RPG devs stopped making games like Baldur's Gate 'because retailers told us no one wanted to buy them', says New Vegas and Pillars of Eternity director Josh Sawyer The Infinity Engine wasn't quite so infinite, in the end.

My first time at GCAP was really enlightening. @jesawyer.bsky.social keynote was especially so, here were some of my takeaways.

How the federal government could address an 'underwater bushfire' Calls are ramping up to recognise an algal bloom ravaging South Australian marine life for months as a national emergency. But what difference could such a declaration make?

"”I urge the PM & Peter Malinauskas to not allow this to become their 'We don't hold the hoses, mate' moment," Senator Sarah Hanson-Young said on Friday. Hanson-Young wants PM Albanese to declare the algal bloom a "national disaster" β€” a move supported by the SA govt”
