There’s some insects I am instantly triggered to kill (eg Mozzies), some I just run away from (eg wasps), and then there’s some like these and ladybugs and I’m ‘Well, hello little friend! I hope you find some lovely nectar or aphids!’

I avoid Sony altogether nowadays.

They pulled linux off the PS3. Then years later I bought a Sony XZ Premium phone and they removed screen sharing Miracast from that.

Fooled me twice. No more shame on me.

lmao

cannot be unseen

Pls post video of you shooting it.

Preferably at inanimate targets and not any of us.

Brilliant!

There are some songs that are so good that the notes don’t matter. But the guitar bits just don’t hit the same…

Spent some time on his channel. Some really interesting tunes, and I couldn’t resist this one. You have to post if you liked it.

I sometimes think about the alternate universe where battery electric cars became dominant instead of the internal combustion engine…

😢

State generalities and personal experiences as fact.

State facts and sources.
Response: “Well, I don’t believe that”

System is working as designed. Not a bug, WONTFIX

Some of the general statements he made, then provided a bunch of topics behind it as the rationale, each of which was clearly going to be disputed and could be debated for 2 hours alone, was pretty laughable…

Ultimately, it’s not a dialogue, it’s 21 people shaking their fists and baying at the moon.

Well there seemed to be no TikTok music, and I wasn’t getting any sound, so I enjoyed myself by watching it a few times and going:

Neeeeeeeeeowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!

when a plane flew over 😬

In the darkened boardroom of ShittyStreamingService, the presentation continues:

“…and so we’ve set our price at $15 per month. This is a reasonable price that everyone in our target demographics can afford.”

What the numpties at ShittyStreamingService haven’t considered is that yes, maybe I can afford $15 per month. But I can’t afford it for each of the 7,836 different streaming services!!

proactive policing

This gets me twitching. It’s like some kind of Minority Report.

The idea behind it might be good - to prevent crimes before they happen -, but inevitably there are kpi’s or measures put around it that lead to different, and harmful, outcomes.

Eg, police set up young or disadvantaged people so they hit their arrest targets, and therefore justify how ‘great’ their proactive policing policy is.

Brilliant! The dance moves make this special! His Bohemian Rhapsody is killer too.

As Africa alternatives, I also like this choral arrangement, or Chaos Divine’s version for something harder

Yeah, I realised that, but couldn’t resist it for the lols.

I think it could score a perfect zero by both not correctly comprehending and being offensive to whoever had the misfortune of marking it.

Artificial satellites? Just for fun, I’m interpreting that as fake communication satellites, so:

'Unlike traditional communication satellites, artificial communication satellites are not launched into space via costly rockets using environmentally unfriendly propellents.

Instead, Artificial Satellite Systems (or ASS) make use of artificial intelligence to communicate via Frequency Adjusted Radio Tower Systems (known as FARTS).

FARTS allow for rapid, ASS to ASS communication. Additionally, Multiplexed Over/Under The Horizon’ allows for increased speeds if ASS to MOUTH is enabled.’

I went to the Sydney Ramses exhibition at the Australian Museum.

I enjoyed it, though full.admission, I’m a bit of a sucker for history stuff. From memory price was about $42, so $38 for this one that has about 3x more artefacts seems reasonable. Expensive to take a family, and I’d reckon kids would get bored anyway.

As with all exhibits, best to try weekdays late afternoon or after hours to avoid crowds.

I still get chills being so close to things created so long ago. The intricate work inscribing entire statues and sarcophagus with hieroglyphics was amazing.

Toyota has been touting breakthrough solid state batteries for a while now.

Not so surprisingly, they are always 4-5 years away.

So, in the meantime, you should buy one of our Toyota ICE or hybrid cars! …lol

This also brings another phrase to mind. It’s usually an American term, but I fear that we are inevitably heading to our own ‘trailer park trash’. And by this I don’t mean the trash is the people.

The ‘trash’ -no,tragedy- is that the housing situation is so fubar that we’ll end up using caravans and temporary accommodation as stoogaps for shortages. And,.once it’s established as a substitute for housing, it will never be replaced. Because it’s cheaper.

That school should be closed. There is way too much fighting going on.

That was a disturbing watch…

Let’s see one of the politicians supporting SMRs put their money where their mouth is, and show their faith and confidence in the technology by proposing that an SMR be built in the suburb they and their family live in.
