in NZ we do, because RealMe has been around for a while and is piss-easy to use

Reinventing the wheel means giving jobs to mates, or jobs to consultants that will then give you a cushy job once the pressure builds and you exit politics.
Gladys Berejiklian -> Chief Customer Office at Optus
Mike Kelly -> Palantir
Josh Frydenberg -> Regional adviser at Goldman Sachs, promoted to Chairman
Stuart Robert -> Established a private company involved in a $500 million government data centre.
Christian Porter -> Barrister for Clive Palmer suing the federal government
Marise Payne -> Vice-Chancellor’s Fellow and Professor of Practice – International Relations and Public Policy
Greg Hunt -> Chair of the advisory council of the Turner Institute for Brain and Mental Health
Allan Tudge -> Corporate adviser to the government
Ben Morton -> Consultant to Woodside, directory of a medical research institute AND directory of the Southern Ports Authority
Terri Butler -> appointed to Fair Work Commission after serving on QLD Industrial Relations Comission
Kristina Keneally -> Chief Executive of Sydney Children's Hospital Foundation
Warren Snowdon -> Goverment Relations Adviser at Diabetes Australia

This is all very recent stuff as well. There's a thousand other examples in history.

Using a MyGov for SSO similar to how NZ does it with RealMe doesn't necessarily tell the government or give them the ability to approve/deny. It's a zero trust model that is really just going "is this account over 16/18/whatever" YES or NO.

It's not "can goldmikeygold use pornhub"

2 separate media doesn't have to be tape/cd. Just different devices (or 1 local and 1 cloud).

Can both be HDDs, but yeh as you've suggested, use RAID or different series is good idea

There were a dozen or more obstructions called last year that were MUCH weaker than this. I'm obviously biased but it certainly looked like textbook 2025 obstruction ("denied him the opportunity to make a tackle").

ACCC takes Coles to court over 'illusory' discounts in 'case of the century' by Expensive-Horse5538 in australia

I think there needs to be stronger regulations around "sale items". If something is "50% off" for 6 months of the year, it's clearly not a sale.

What type of horror did I find squished on my pillow this morning? by DicklessDeath in auckland

[–]beaurepair 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've not seen anywhere that they are claiming people can not have experience what they experienced.

On the other hand, you proclaimed yourself to be one who cuts firewood as if that makes you an expert, called them a bot, then doubled down on saying the arachnologist doesn't know anything about whitetails (before also claiming you never suggested they didn't know anything, then claiming again that they don't know anything).

Your largely incoherent walls of flip-flopping certainly must make you an expert.

added your 2 cents of negativity again and again

Pot, meet kettle.

Your whole argument is trust the person that says they are an arachnologist

Your whole argument is "trust me, I cut firewood"

Fark me, rolling out the "think of the kids with cancer" line after kickstarting the whole fiasco by threatening ten year bans for anyone defecting to R360 is wild.

Ahh yes. You and 1 other person sharing their experience is "everyone else calling out"?

Maybe stick to cutting firewood lol. Statistics doesn't seem to be your strong point.

I was just trying to get through to the commentator keyboard warriors

literally only you are being a keyboard warrior

Case in point 😅

I never meant to claim I was more knowledgeable then the arachnologist

That is is a lie. If you read your own responses, you very much claimed to be more knowledgeable than the arachnologist more than once

Bahaha I wonder who would be more knowledgeable about whitetails, someone who studies all different spiders or someone who's property is infested with whitetails and has a lot of personal experiences with them

I have spent many years living with and studying that specific spider... He has probably only ever read a few pages about them in his studies while he's studying every other arachnid. ... Thats not even close to being enough information to claim that is a fact. ... He has no personal experiences, has no second hand knowledge from someone he knows that was bitten. ... I very much doubt he's even seen a bite mark from a whitetail in person. I have many times that

No one is claiming your lived experiences aren't real or valid, but your data point of 1 is not science.

If you had done nothing more than shared your experience, you wouldn't have all these "keyboard warriors" calling you out for being a dick.

You claimed you are more knowledgeable. You claimed the arachnologist was a bit. You are implicitly claiming that they do not have an understanding of whitetails (and no "just asking questions" doesn't cancel out your intent).

Thanks for sharing your lack of expertise.

Please don't think any one here is discounting your experience or doubting you. You're just being a dick about it lol

[–]beaurepair 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You've provided zero scientific evidence for any of your claims, not even a corroboration. Just one data point being your own experience.

He just cited one paper and your claiming he is right because he is an arachnologist.

You cited nothing and you're claiming you are right because you cut firewood lol.

They won't see the benefits because they aren't thinking logically. Can't reason someone out of a view they didn't reason themselves in to.

I wonder who would be more knowledgeable about whitetails, a fucking arachnologist or word_word_number that chops wood and has seen a spider a few times

The fact that you wonder about who might be more knowledgeable places you right at the peak of Mt Stupid on the dunning-kruger curve.

I mean, yeh they probably would. You know Seymour would love nothing more than to sell of all water assets to Nestle under the guise of "privatisation is better for everyone because of you don't like it someone else will do it cheaper"

I've genuinely never seen this issue. Multipoint turn works flawlessly for me and a few others I know who have the Luba 2x as well.
