Didn’t it just. So bold, and free. Happy, beautiful people, exploring extraordinary worlds, in confidence and health.

Clear as day Pauline is Gina’s little removed.

Nothing Pauline does will ever be without the idea of “how much has Gina paid for this?”.

Pauline is a total sell out and can be trusted as much as any lib or labor ‘gift’ taker.

Went to ER as it was an emergency. My kids don’t go to the doctor, as they can’t afford it, so I have to pitch in.

We have the money to have it all, but, it all goes to the miners, tax free…

Only in Australia will the Prime Minister, starve his people of free medical, dental and free education because he backs the international gas companies rather than his own people.

Only in Australia.

Tax the gas! We’ve has enough.

Australian here.

Just took my wife to the ER twice this weekend. Stressy.

Blood tests, consults, medication, drip, snacks and drinks, the lot.

animatedknots.com is insane

Omg. As soon as I see npm, I nope out. So so so so so many dependencies, broken this, not working that. I’m over it.

Once it works natively on general Linux distros I’m buying it.

Well, we all know where albo has his nest feathered.

He sure as hell is not a man of the people, rather, a man of foreign corporate interest.

Lobbying. We have to take control of it, and cut the corruption out at the knees.

John Farnham definitely has something to say about it.

This is exactly right. As soon as a company becomes public, it’s all over. Profits at X%, every quarter, no matter the cost. It’s the death of a company.

As soon as Right Wing Lobby group is mentioned in an article, you know you’re diving into the cesspit. Lobbying IS bribery, and we’ve got these dark fuckers bribing our politicians.

I have a set of small, palm sized stones I picked out of a local river. Nearly as good as my japanese whetstone progression set. :-) I seriously use the more, and my kitchen knives I can shave with. Feels so… manly :-)

Australia also. It’s like owning knives and forks. It’s a basic necessity

I also agree, but to take it further, I decided I’d had enough of cables on my circular saw. Got a small, lightweight one, and omg, it’s SO good.

I have an older style Breville Stand Mixer. It has attachments like a dough hook, beaters, scrapers, etc. I thought I’d never use it. But! It sits on the bench (must be there for ease of access), and the amount of times I use it is astounding.

I would say the women in my class are incredibly strong. They have excellent muscle development, and compared to non fitness folk, are almost intimidating.

But, by and large, they’re not as strong as the men in the class for raw power.

I 100% believe this.

We’ve really looked into co-pilot in our example at work to really see what it can do, and oh my god, the programmers in our team are literally excited and terrified at the same time.

The level that it has come along is astounding and for the first time amongst all the AI hype, and all the AI bashing, I have seen it with my own eyes, how very much we will start relying on these tools.

We just spent a couple of hours playing with the thing to build up a project and amongst us with literal vibe-coding joy in our hearts and just embracing it, this thing, rather than bashing it and avoiding it like we normally do, we made projects that were fully tested, absolutely rock-damn solid, in hours that would have taken us weeks to make as professionals.

So now we are back looking at our terminal and our IDE and thinking oh my god I want some more of that.

So as a lawyer that has an equally technical task at hand with a lot of research they need to pull together, cross-referencing and all the stuff that goes with it, I can imagine that if they have tasted it, I don’t know how they will ever go back to not using it.

However, from a programming perspective, it either works or it doesn’t. From a legal perspective, that is something completely else, so I guess the comparison is not quite equal.

Still, the days are numbered.

That is an interesting one.

I recall many years a group arm wrestle competition we all got into.

Men and women, we were all having fun.

Without exception, every single guy beat every single woman. And usually easily.

I’m genuinely surprised by your statement.

I also do pilates regularly. I’m a pretty avg size guy. I’m higher in strength setups (springs, angles, etc) than nearly everyone there, except the other men.

Where are you seeing what you’re describing?
