They’re hitting the drs too. The RACGP’s regulator has been hit with ‘vexatious complaints’ about their social media posts. It’s insidious. This Israeli lobby is causing so much harm to curtail Australians speech on Gaza. It’s so bad 😡

I live 1km from the Hume Hwy which is a fairly significant Australian road corridor & have most of my life, so I've lived with the sound of traffic at night.
It's always a weird feeling on nights where the Hwy slows, also eery during COVID when it was closed to a lot of traffic.

I was wandering around the local Strawberry farm inside a greenhouse and hearing parents encouraging their children to eat fresh berries from the tree, which in this kind of environment is theft in reality.

Things realistically could be better if public allocations were better and for those of us who are happy to try and use private some regulation on the insurers to prevent them from obfuscating on extras payout.

Australia ranks well when it comes to total dental care expenditure. But a closer look at the numbers reveals that trips to the dentist are a luxury many people can’t afford

Still on the career hunt, it's a tough life these days for interaction with so many automated processes.

Got some Python skills & extended some scratchy code.

Happy Birthday to me, it's coming up on Thursday.
Smashed my glass bottle a week ago in a rush to head to bed, so I went hunting for something that doesn't taint water.
These ceramic lined insulated bottles supposedly don't suffer the same fate.
Glass bottles over 500ml are hard to find.

It must be a hard time for Milk producers who have nothing to do with Bovaer, who are copping dickhead comments from people online questioning whether they use it or mRNA vaccines in their milking cows.

I find it quite laughable on how the "outrage" tribes of the world have only just picked up on Bovaer, when the majority of trials were conducted in 2022/23 and a number of brands publicly announced stance this time last year.

I wish HR people would stop trying to cheat the job advertisement platforms by categorising roles as "Work from home" when their actual intent is to base people in office, in a specific region and in a number of cases without the flexibility of some days at home.

If Australia Post can keep the price of Christmas Cards to under a dollar, then why does normal letters need to go up 20 cents more next year?
Does someone in the Postal Service not realise this is going to kill off more letter posting as it will be cost prohibitive for some?

Personally I think this complaint is unreasonable.
AI security properly implemented literally only retains flagged data for the purpose of notifying the business of people they don't permit in their stores.
Theory is very similar to liquor accords scanning licenses crossmatching ban lists.

Bunnings breached Australians’ privacy with facial recognition tool
The system, via CCTV, captured the faces of every person – likely hundreds of thousands of individuals – who entered 63 Bunnings stores between 2018 and 2021.

These "protesters" are lost.
Time is spent denigrating others for lack of assumed support while people go about their day, but in the meantime nothing worthy is being achieved from it all to the cause & more hate is being generated.
I'm all for a worthy protest, but this is just noise.

Afternoon from a drizzly Southern NSW.
We had a severe weather warning issued, but it was a tad over reactive...just rain and some thunder.

I note that a bit of water has run under the bridge since I last appeared here, a new phone and wrapping up my last paying gig.

Barnaby Joyce tells Seven's Sunrise he ‘made a big mistake’ after he is filmed on footpath – video
The Nationals MP speaks to Sunrise – after he was filmed lying on a Canberra footpath – amid calls he should be dropped from the shadow frontbench. Barnaby Joyce says he 'made a big mistake' and, while there was 'no excuse for it', there was a 'reason'. 'I’m on a prescription drug, and they say certain things may happen to you if you drink, and they were absolutely 100% right. They did.'
