i was happy without the news on FB when FB pulled it. No fake "news", drastic reduction in click bait and less adds. My feed was way better.
Hopefully FB will in the future just go no news.

My shipmates and I got in a fight with some Aussie sailors in a bar in Hong Kong in 1976
I'm not sure who won exactly- I got punched a couple of times but was not really "beat up" as it were
As I remember it, the whole thing started when someone turned a glass upside-down on the bar

There was 'definitely one loser' in Facebook's battle with the government
The government got its bargaining code, news businesses will get their cheque, and Facebook gets a few key concessions. So who won and who lost the battle of the media bargaining code?

"Let that sink in: Facebook may end up paying news producers what it would have paid them anyway, without the threat of being subject to the code."

You already have a $1000+ power bill? They won't care as long as you pay on time. Do you guys have smart meters that they can track usage with? We don't here in Alberta so they only know how much I use and not what I use it for. At 26¢/kwh it's not cheap to run those big lights but the payoff is greater. I bought a light mover a few years ago to get me more coverage so can cover what a 1000W will do with a 600W like I'm using now. It only uses 9w so saves me some money there.Can anybody on here tell me if using two 1000 w grow lights would that raise suspicion to the power company $1000+ power bills aslong as its not a major jump like as soon as i move into a house I am running them and I pay my bills on time should it be all good anybody with previous experience

Not sure why ur power bill is so high? But no unless you have one of the new smart metres then their algorithms can have an educated guess at what your doing. But its only a extra 2000w..Pools, spas and workshops etc drag much moreCan anybody on here tell me if using two 1000 w grow lights would that raise suspicion to the power company $1000+ power bills aslong as its not a major jump like as soon as i move into a house I am running them and I pay my bills on time should it be all good anybody with previous experience

In Australia placing an upside down glass on the bar means they want a fight. A blue means a fight.
Just in case ur sitting at a bar in oz with $ next to your glass laying the glass down on its side means you are done drinking so please don't refill.

I like Aussies for the most part- so many colorful affectations

"Affectations" is probably the wrong word to use- it's not like they're putting on anything
just to clear that up
