I am thinking of getting one of these (Harmonix Rock Band Wired Drum Set Xbox) - my soon-to-be-7-year-old has taken to being in a "rock band" at lunch with cardboard boxes etc.

There's one for sale nearby, $50, but I don't have an xbox etc. I'm hoping to connect it to a PC and play whatever is compatible.

Thoughts? I tried searching, but came up trumps about what is compatible. Any help greatly appreciated

I want to game in my shed.

I plan on running fibre between the house and shed. But I was thinking maybe running fibre HDMI too?

Is it a thing to have HDMI from my gaming PC to the projector in the shed and also run moonlight for the inputs and have no video output.

Any advice? Good idea? Bad idea? Etc.

Every year we go away with a few families. Not quite outdoor - caravan park with access to a stove/oven.

As years have gone on the numbers have gotten bigger with kids, we're now up to about 20.

Thoughts on a dinner option that's cheap, relatively easy to prepare, can be served quickly, easy to eat and caters for fussy kidsnand a handful of gluten free peeps.

Last year I did Tacos, it was fine. But ended up being more expensive than I was wanting to spend once you add on sour cream, guac etc. Some kids only wanted soft tacos etc. Not horrible, but keen to try something new.

I was thinking Japanese curry: big pot with veggies already cut up, a few curry cubes. Cook another big pot of rice and then get two bags of frozen chicken tenders + a box of GF ones and then put them in the oven.

But happy to hear other ideas that work for people: fast, cheap, tasty, GF options, easy to quickly serve/eat! (We have a "lasagne lady" so that's out).

I might be out of the loop, I was on a monthly pro plan and it disappeared after the month. I reached out to support and they said the plan expired and I could renew from the pricing page - but it's much more expensive than the plan I was on.

Is this normal?

Does anyone have any recommendations for a bulk-billing GP who will help with ADHD?

I am really wanting to use Azure for my production app to appease school buyers. But I run into a lot of intermittent API issues. Currenlty grok-4-1-fast-non-reasoning is throwing errors across all regions that I've tested it on.

Does Azure have status reporting for Foundry AI models? If so, where can I find it?

Does anyone use Azure Foundry models in production? How is reliability? Does it vary amongst models?

In the USA, say you're on $100k/year. What does health care actual look like in terms of $?

I know it's a wide spectrum, but some anecdotes would be handy.

i.e. how much do you pay for insurance? What does it cover? Can you afford the dentist? If you need to see the physio, is that expensive out of pocket? What about seeing a doctor?

Those kind of things.

EDIT: Australians only

Too expensive might be relative for some people (i.e. "I know I should do it, but it's another expense"; rather than literally not being able to sacrifice to afford it - or just inconvenience of no bulk-billing/specialist appointments/wait times etc).
