Don’t worry China, we super promise not to militarise it 🤞

I hate it when they quote a time but no timezone. 10.37PM according to who?

How many times have they “banned” vapes now? Are they actually going to do it?

On new installs it does force you. I had to do it today (Windows 10). There are workaround such as attempting to log into a banned account, or other weird hacks involving disconnecting the internet and know the right combinations of hidden menus to navigate.

Pronounced as “shitter”

“Chicken meat poses a significant biosecurity risk to Australia, particularly the risk of highly pathogenic notifiable avian influenza (HPNAI) virus which can cause severe disease and mortality across Australia’s poultry industry, and may also affect wild bird populations.”

We do have a reputation for taking these things very seriously, as we should. We were even going to kill Johnny Depp’s dogs at one point but settled for the “hostage video”. Despite that, it does seem excessive in this case and should have been overturned on appeal at the very least.

Thankfully someone stepped up and ended up paying the fine on their behalf.

It’s incredibly complex to accurately predict what will happen and this is entirely plausible. I can also imagine there being people who have (example) $10,000, wait a year for it to be $18,000, and spend the $8,000 as “free money”. Rather than saving it which won’t put you ahead of others as they also benefit from the 80% interest (perhaps more so). I’m guessing that’s why there’s the caveat of even capital distribution which hasn’t happened anywhere in the history of life on Earth at any point in time presumably.

It would have been a well-advised idea had it been done when it actually mattered. I’m no economic expert but wouldn’t drastically swinging the other way also lead to inflation? For example (made up numbers) if $10,000 is the same as $1 a year ago (low interest rate) and now that $10,000 accrues 80% interest, that would just cause even further inflation?

Thank you Russia for protecting us against those evil Ukranian Nazis by checks notes releasing back into society cannibals and murderers who dismembered teenagers, stabbed a single victim 666 times, murdered cats and dogs and cut the breasts off teenage girls before cutting out their tongues and hearts.

I feel like this just absolutely HAS to be sarcasm right?

Really impressive move by the CBRT [Central Bank of the Republic of Turkey] - probing their orthodoxy and getting well ahead of expectations," he said in a note.

“These guys and girls are serious about fighting inflation,” he added. “We need to give them credit for that.”

ok 1hr old tankie 🤣

Ah the classic, internationally recognised crime of “engaging in hype”.

Is it common for murderers to be released after serving half their sentence?

This is not an answer to your question but it’s tangentially related.

Someone I greatly respected ran an open-source project with the policy of merge everything. Completely flip this idea of carefully review, debate and revise every PR. His theory was that it helps to build an open community, and if something breaks someone else will revert that commit. He says that the main branch was almost always stable, a massive improvement to how it was run previously. He passed several years ago and for some reason this reminded me of him.

I guess what I’m trying to say is if you get something out there that people find useful, the code will be looked at. It doesn’t help you if you’re looking for someone to collaborate sorry.

I don’t even want to think about what they’re doing with a baby especially considering the price paid for them.

Smoke signals first

I used to have pi-hole setup and a housemate complained that he could no longer click on Google ads 🙄

If anything it will make things load faster as you’re blocking a massive steaming pile of ads, trackers, etc

contact support and I’m sure they will be able to assist in reactivating your student benefits

Seems suss. Can you find that app installed on your system and verify if it is a legit system app?
