Quokka! They eat leaves, they have no idea about predators so are incredibly trusting and keep their babies in little pouches.

I serve the printer overlord

I have one of these at work. It throws a fit roughly 5 times a day.

One occasional issue is that it claims it has a blockage, it doesn't, it wants you to open and close one of the doors.

It is exactly that.

God no, only paranoia and doom allowed.

People are getting very confused here. You can allow your anonymised data to be used for research. This is not new whatsoever and it's done by consent.

What IS new is that a company (GSK) are about to start using this data. Data that's publicly used already. This may help them to develop some new treatments.

Were they of the idea that when you tick the "my data can be used anonymously for research" box it meant that their data WOULDN'T be used anonymously for research?

There's a link to The Calcalist saying the same thing. That's an Israeli paper - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calcalist

Ooh, I have some of those! I love the crackle polish at the moment. I've got NMW, GITD and crackle on now.

I don't think I'm skilled enough for the ghosts but I might give it a go.

Don't call the police, they're quite likely to shoot people and make things much worse. Instead why not shoot them yourself?

I did a de-escalation thing for teachers, it's actually super interesting. One surprising thing for me is that if a student comes at you with a weapon, sit down, I unfortunately had to deal with that situation shortly after, totally works. I got a grown adult man to calm all the way down using the techniques I was taught. Obviously someone coming at you with a weapon is a dangerous situation regardless, and there's no way to sort it 100% of the time, but what I did went against every instinct I had and was really good.

A master tape is the song recorded in the studio which will then be replicated and distributed. A remaster means you make a new one of those. Often that can mean just re-recording (a lot of Taylors remasters do this) or it can mean you totally change the music. There's never a situation where you can't get the old version though. Just buy the old CD/vinyl/tape/whatever that comes from the master you like.

You can't say something horrifically offensive then pretend it's OK. Disgusting.

Jesus christ. Just because someone has a history of addiction does not mean they're destined to die. That's an awful thing to say.

What polishes did you use? And are the ghosts free painted or some kind of stamp/stencil?

Not what I'm saying. Partying suggests something very different to what he experienced. He's also been sober for a long time. A relapse is possible but so are a hundred other reasons. Suggesting it was his own fault is quite grim.

I don't think that's the case at all. He drunk at some points and took drugs at some points but never 'partied'. If you read his book it gives a bit more context.

I don't really know what I am but I didn't want to spend too much this year so I wanted to use a dress I own already and add some accesories to make it work, so I've got wings and a headpiece, I'll add some make up to do something, I'm not excited about it but I think it'll look OK in the end.

It depends if you can get it where you are, but Flora plant butter is really good, I've used it for cooking and just as a spread and seems to work well.

I saw a doc about this earlier in the year. It is ridiculous. A lot of the people to talk to seem to be totally uneducated on the conflict but full of Israeli talking points.
