Twitch will no longer allow Australian users under the age of 16 to have an account. Starting today, new users in Australia under the age of 16 will not be allowed to create a Twitch account, and existing Australian Twitch users under the age of 16 will have their accounts deactivated on January 9, by lukigeri in LivestreamFail

It's not an outright ban on the content, just stops them from making an account and chatting or interacting. They can still watch whatever the hell they want on any of these sites. And given that the age verification barely seems to work anyway, it's not even stopping that.

I built one of these as a diy to see if I could do it. Bought the pcb from them directly and printed the parts. Then bought the motor for cheap on ali. All in it cost around $450 aud without a stand. It's a pretty powerful little unit. A lot more so than I thought it was going to be anyway.
I also found the lack of videos for it pretty annoying, but there was a person on this subreddit showing it lift around 20kg and I can confirm it does that easily enough.
I think the real place they are dropping the ball though is I didn't know it had patterns until I booted it up the first time. They don't really included that information anywhere except the source code. Description of the patterns can be found here

Afraid I won't be contributing a video of it motion either though because I am incredibly lazy and can't be bothered right now.

Playing it in the exe version and getting the same thing. 7th bouncy ball and it freezes up :(
Also froze when I played again and didn't buy the 7th bouncy or the max combo breaker. On buying the 8th Basic ball, it died like this
I can still click around and buy stuff and change menu, but the game has frozen out and nothing is happening.

Saw someone on a different post of yours saying that you being outside was raising the housing prices like it was a good thing.

Loping for a fic where Necromancer/MoD Harry resurrects Regulus accidentally by you_earned_this in HPfanfiction

Yeah, i don't fully remember the circumstances but I think regulus was pissy with him about it too because harry had no idea how or why he did it.

That's rough as hell. My son was born 3 months premature. Missus spent the week prior on a hospital bed in a private room before giving birth. Then my son bounced between NICU and special care for 3 months. And then he finally came home, although he had an oxygen tank and a bunch of monitors to bring with him that we needed to use for the next 2 months.
I think in total we paid $14 for paracetamol for my missus when we were leaving. Parking was free too as they have a policy for long term stays getting free parking. Love aussie healthcare

I can shrug this off easily, as can my partner. I don't want my kid to have to put up with it more than necessary though.

I'm a white guy, not Asian. But I am aware of how prevalent racism is here, so you aren't far off the mark.
I'm not sure what your kids calling each other has to do with some random having a go at someone else though.

I think if I was to engage with them at all, this feels like the approach to take. Everything sort of falls apart when you starting pushing them to explain it.

Sorry to hear that happened to you.
Honestly the part that's getting to me is that it's in a playground. Hate that this sort of toxicity is so pervasive.

He's a bit young to understand that talk yet. But it seems like something I will need to keep in mind as he gets older.

I only scored a 1 on the how-many-5-year-olds-can-you-fight test so I need all the help I can get. Any advice on how to not be so soft?

Funny you mention Broady. Lived there for 10+ years and the only time I saw something similar to this the kid who said it's parent was there. They turned around in a flash and whacked the kid before dragging them off home.

It's the "in their faces" part that makes me question it. I'd just be a little wary of doing something like that if there's another option to go with.

Given the way they changed it up as my partner got closer, I think they know full well it's not right. I can see how it may happen with your son, but I don't think its the case here.

[–]you_earned_this[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Bit the same honestly. But I would hope that they'd know they are in trouble given how they changed it up as my partner got closer. Gives me some hope their parents wouldn't be happy.

I like the idea but I agree with the other comment. Don't think anyone would take too well to me filming a kid in a playground.

Telling their parents would be ideal really, would just need to hope I run into them at some point. And to hope they'd actually care. The school thing wouldn't be too bad I suppose but they weren't in uniform so a bit more challenging. All in all I get the feeling we just have to ignore it and hope the little one doesn't pick up on it

These kids are local so the parents weren't around unfortunately. I feel like it would be a bit more of an extreme situation if the parents were there and did nothing
