This almost happened to me last week.

I stepped backward into the rake, luckily it hit me in the shoulder. It still hurt a lot though.

This is the way.

I think I'd manage.

That is easy: super intelligence

That is because it is not bread. It is simply a bread-like edible substance.

The idea that racism can be good is very strange. "I'm going to be racist, but for a good cause" doesn't fit well.

I get the goal was to encourage Tangata Moana to attend, but it is in effect a disincentive to the "allies" because they are being punished.

The fact that there is tiered pricing for other things doesn't excuse this behavior. It turns out that Students/Youth/Elderly are different than Maori/White/Pasifika.

My handwriting is terrible, I'm right handed. I blame it on being an engineer.

Well known fact those destined to be engineers and doctors learn to write badly in school, takes years of training to write this badly.

Next minute, the lion grabs his arm, tears it from the shoulder and proceeds to crush his skull in its jaws.

The lion lies down after its light snack.

I just read the attached link, not the bill. But this looks every easy to abuse.

Maybe it is his suit?

I guess that you would spend most of your time in a "default" look. Other times you would play a role to meet a specific end.

Intellect, immortal, shape shifter.

Shape shifter makes the attractive male/female redundant.
Intellect will get you gadgets/implants/power suit. After a bit of work which you have infinite time to do.

 

I was thinking about this the other day.

I can't see the point, desktop search is a solved problem.

Yes Windows find is shit, but it doesn't have to be.

I know a bunch of the conspiracies, but what is the legitimate use case?

The government once again shows how incompetent they are.

Summary

New Zealand’s royal commission into its Covid-19 response found vaccine mandates were reasonable based on available data but acknowledged they harmed social cohesion.

The report praised the country’s elimination strategy for achieving one of the lowest Covid death rates among developed nations while preventing healthcare system collapse.

However, it criticized prolonged lockdowns, weak health system preparedness, and a lack of planning for future crises.

Commissioners urged broad investment in pandemic readiness and emphasized the importance of both frontline and planning staff.

A second phase of the inquiry will review vaccine harms and conclude in 2026.

I am thinking about getting a phone for my son.

There are some really cheap android phones around.

But I also want to restrict what he can do on it while he is still young.

I was thinking something like net guard but with a password, so the settings can't be easily changed.

I could just get a dumb phone, but I also have some old android phones hanging around.

What options are there for this kind of app/network control?

Here’s Why I Decided To Buy ‘InfoWars’ By Bryce P. Tetraeder, Global Tetrahedron CEO ☞ https://theonion.com/heres-why-i-decided-to-buy-infowars/

And let me say, I really do see it as a family. Much like family members, our brands are abstract nodes of wealth, interchangeable assets for their patriarch to absorb and discard according to the opaque whims of the market. And just like family members, our brands regard one another with mutual suspicion and malice.

🤣

Older article (2023), but sharing for those unawares.

The birds - which have been around since the prehistoric Pleistocene era - were officially declared extinct in 1898.

After their rediscovery in 1948, conservationists began collecting and incubating eggs from wild takahē, to prevent them from being eaten by predators

About 1000 internet years ago. I saw one of those "demotivation" posters and I want to find out again.

The text was something along the lines of

Don't wait to be corrupted, embrace the evil inside. Be the chaos you want to see in the world.

I was having a conversation about characters from various childhood shows.

I always thought that Oscar the grouch didn't make any sense. Why would you live in a bin?

But it occurred to me that maybe the Grouch evolved to hunt like a trapdoor spider, they hunt mainly racoons but also cats and anything else that happens into their bin.

Initially forest dwelling, with the rise of human civilisation; they have become adapted to living in cities which afford many pre-made "burrows" (bins). The lure of easy food, brings their prey to them.
