No, why?

Sounds about right. I’d seen “slot machines” (we call em poker machines or “the pokies”) more times than I can remember before I was 18.

Ibuprofen is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory (NSAID). It will reduce inflammation and the associated pain. If your pain is not caused by inflammation then you should talk to a pharmacist about what the best analgesic is for you.

People getting brake and break mixed up annoys me, but I get it. If this is you, your car has brakes and you take a break from work after breaking your arm.

Almost certainly not. It’s common in some communities for people to write their own image transcriptions.

Australian white ibises. They’re kinda like the Australian equivalent to a raccoon in the US; they eat rubbish and their roosts stink because they tend to congregate in a single tree and then shit everywhere. But they are quite unique looking birds: long beaks, black heads and white plumage. So the tourists find them quite interesting and the locals call them bin chickens.

I’m always kinda impressed when people can fill silence with a lot of words without actually managing to say anything.

“I’m right and you just won’t admit it” is definitely not the kind of childish argument I expected to see today.

Wait wait wait what? This sounds interesting. Please elaborate

Seriously, it’s 2024. Everyone has to use technology now, so the software should reflect that. UX is probably one of the big barriers to widespread FOSS adoption.

As someone who used LaTeX in secondary school, this is definitely not applicable advice to everyone. Great if you’re doing maths or other technical subjects, but superfluous if you’re doing anything else. Doubly so for someone who isn’t a great typist.

Out of curiosity, why do you say you’re really pro AI? I feel like I’m stuck in an anti-AI bubble ATM.

Can’t remember what the article was, but it was a local one for an area I don’t live in (I think it was a Canadian one). Anyway, ate the onion in a large discord server I had just joined. I was mostly just trying to become part of the community. Nobody corrected me for a couple of hours until some smug bastard said something along the lines of “…at least I know it’s a satiric publication.”

Development approval, required by a council before you build something

Fun fact: you don’t need a DA for these*, so they are a hell of a lot cheaper to install. *Subject to jurisdiction

I know a guy like this. He’s a great guy, very competent, gives up his time for his community. Drives his Audi like a cunt though.

I’d say AM radio is a better safety feature for Australians at least, since the ABC broadcast emergency warnings via their AM stations.

It’s Spring here in Australia and instead of the nice spring weather it’s gone straight to summer weather (including fires). We’re so fucked

It’s way more privacy-oriented, but a lot of Reddit communities were already very left wing
