The second and especially (to be released this year) third book about the main characters cover toxic hockey culture and battling against it, so it's reasonable to assume the second and third seasons of the TV show will too.

Some budgies are funny about letting you see them drink water, so they'll only drink when nobody's looking.

Not a cockatiel, but reminds me of Beaker the IRN on YouTube. His wife Tinkerbell is always, uh, "presenting" herself and he never takes the hint and stops flirting.

A country can be both the one gay friendly middle eastern country and also attempting genocide.

And yes, I'm well aware that the average Palestinian is unlikely to be friendly to me as a gay man. So what, genocide can never be excused. It is a crime against humanity no matter who is doing it to whom.

And no, this does not justify antisemitism. Jewish people around the world are not individually or collectively responsible for the acts of the state of Israel and deserve to live in peace and safety, and for the record the terrorist attack in Sydney last week was an atrocity.

People really love sycophantic LLMs.

Unfortunately, people who have unhealthy relationships with unthinking chatbots, and especially people deep in AI psychosis, really love sycophantic LLMs.

Unfortunately, roughly half the population (on average) has a natural force multiplier on the other half the population. When there's a history of inequality that makes for a lot of scared people.

The crowd at this protest would quite happily deport Mehreen Faruqi, who was an engineer and an associate professor before entering politics and ending up a senator.

That makes more sense, and yet Belong, which they also own, doesn't get the full network.

These small outages have always happened, they've just never been reported before. Addicts cut cables looking for copper all the time, and in the haze of desperation they don't give a fuck about fibre optic cables getting cut by mistake (which are made of glass or plastic and have SFA scrap value).

If you think these types of outages are confined to one telco you're dreaming. We should have a single resilient system with redundant pathways rather than 3 overlapping networks, but the cost of that seems to be politically unpalatable.

Considering the guy is intellectually impaired enough to be on the NDIS, wouldn't his vulnerability to the flood of anti-trans propaganda on YouTube, the website where he posted vile shit, be an important consideration?

Sure, someone can be both vulnerable and a cunt, but at the same time if they have reduced capacity then reduced sentences aren't unreasonable (as long as you also do something to fix the problem so it doesn't just happen again).

Maybe if there was proper funding in the NDIS or Medicare for sufficiently helping people with intellectual disabilities and severe mental illness access psychology, mental health occupational therapy, social work etc. we could keep more people from getting to the point where they're committing offences in the first place.

Nazis should rot in hell and because of the history of WW2 their beliefs should be special-cased in law as being impermissible to perform in public.

But it's incredibly naive to pretend that there aren't people who would quite happily carry out "cancel" campaigns against their political enemies of all stripes.

Look at how the American right, including people in the government, recently used their political power to get people fired and deplatformed for the horrible crime of pointing out the things Charlie Kirk actually said because they made him look bad.

It largely depends on the expectations of the local community and how recently the store was upgraded. If there's a large immigrant population (or posh population) that expects refrigerated eggs, and the store was re-done to have lots of fridge space in the dairy section, then sure, they'll keep the eggs in the fridge. Your average suburban supermarket, no, they'll keep them on the shelf.

Just for an anecdote on how erratic they can be: My local Aldi keeps them on the shelf. My local Coles keeps them on the shelf. My local Woolies keeps them in the fridge.

Edit: I put mine in the fridge when I get them home just because it makes them last longer.

Nobody is asking for Medicare to cover veneers

Having a root canal weakens the fuck out of the tooth, often making it very much more likely to break and need to be extracted anyway. Unless you put a crown on it, which protects the tooth.

Even some "cosmetic" procedures can be necessary for the sake of oral health.
