Question time has always been a spectacle demonstrating just how badly our elected officials can behave and I'm glad someone is calling it out. Of course, it should come as no surprise as to which party is the worst:

Figures provided by the Speaker’s office show there have been 198 ejections during the 47th parliament as of Tuesday 20 August. Of those, a Guardian Australia analysis shows 161 have been Coalition members, 36 Labor and one from the Greens.

If you're happy with OpenDNS logging your traffic, you could set the router to use them as the DNS server (assuming your network is DHCP and your father-in-law's devices just use whatever DNS server your router says). As long as one of your devices keeps OpenDNS updated with your IP (the one provided by your ISP), then you can look through the traffic to see what is being accessed (and even enabling category content blocking if you wish). Of course, if your father-in-law is IT savvy, he'll just manually set the DNS server on his devices.

The crew should come back on the Dragon and Boeing be required to solve the problems and carry out another test flight. It is unacceptable that Boeing wants to bring the astronauts back without understanding some of the failures on the Starliner.

Well, of course.

Nope, just inherited a colleague's codebase when they left. It's years later and I still haven't sorted it all out.

As someone who has inherited code like that, I would like to strangle the first programmer in the comic.

It's way better than nothing and (last I saw) was still quite effective at preventing hospitalisation and severe disease, but definitely suffers a significant drop in preventing infection and symptomatic illness.

What a cutie. Hope you manage to find a home for her!

This is why you do staged rollouts of updates... not the entire planet at once.

Make sure it's not whitespace sensitive and requires explicit typing, just to mess with everyone.

Well, I guess that's one ISP everyone will want to avoid...

Ouch.

Perhaps she could start with her own.

This measure of 199 out of 200 is the US population equivalent of 1,650,000 people.

So, roughly in the ballpark of how many COVID has killed thus far (best estimate I could find was a little over 1.2 million). Even that didn't really motivate people, unfortunately.

Unless the human mortality rate is much higher than COVID, this is just going to be the same thing all over again. Vaccines take time to prepare and even though this is a flu strain (which should give us a headstart), there doesn't seem to be much happening with this yet (even the US has only just started getting organised with an order of 4.8 million doses, which is a drop in the ocean if their burgeoning outbreak amongst livestock manages to jump to humans). Waiting until we have rampant human-to-human transmission to order vaccines will be too late.

Really glad to hear that - sounds like you have found a good vet. They are worth their weight in gold!

So, basically nothing new in Windows 11 that I want and a whole lot of things I don't.

The next step is doing what I did - get a second office chair. One for you, one for the cat.
