IME what works best is sound deadening foam ear plugs, with an over ear headphone with the volume turned up. You know, big ones with passive noise cancelling.

Cheap and if anything seems to work better than bluetooth ear defenders. (for me).

Listen to music, audiobooks and/or podcasts. Hard labour is hard. Distract yourself.

I dunno, I think the redesign is a significant improvement:

Far less annoying than the old design.

From wikipedia:

The Russian Defense Ministry said it had recently destroyed six unmanned surface vehicles (USV) in the Black Sea. When asked for comment on the Caesar Kunikov, both Russian military and Kremlin spokespersons declined to comment.

Why is he being sacked? He should get a medal for succesfully destroying six USVs.

Probably related to this:

Fun fact: the soviets simply used thicker steel. That's partly why there's so many of those shitboxes still riding around the ex-soviet block. Based on the Fiat 124, which often rusted and died in the Italian sunshine, the Soviet variant often rusted but survived in Siberia.

Or buy two of these mice, so you always have a charged one waiting. (This comment was sponsored by Apple)

It is.

Given Trump's remarks about NATO and Putin's remarks about the Baltics, it's also genuinely scary.

I have a related degree. Sorry, but no. There's a high probability it's within a few percentage points of that number.

This isn't an ABC poll. It's a page on ABC's website which tracks polls published by polling companies.

The 45% is from a polling company with a sufficiently large sample size. This isn't just one isolated poll. You can keep scrolling, and you'll see similar figures from multiple polling companies. The chance that a hundred polls are all wrong, is very low.

You may have heard of YouGov, a UK based polling company with a good reputation. As you can see they have a poll they published last week which has Trump at 46% favourable. If you click on yougov it'll link you to the full poll data, so you can read about their methodology, and how they weighted things so that the sample is as representative as possible.

And yes, the good pollsters weigh the data so it better reflects the population. No, they don't only phone old people anymore. Those days are largely gone, outside the occasional partisan poll.

All too often the things you own, end up owning you.

45% approval rating according to the latest poll:

Remember to vote.

Paraphrasing what you said and asking you to clarify what you mean doesn't make me an anti-semite.

But I suppose it's as close as you'll ever get to becoming self-aware, that you're accusing me of anti-semitism for repeating your own words back at you.

e: I think I'll block you now. Probably for the best. The whole 'they control the media' thing is icky.

Vanity. It's the Devil's favourite sin.

Gotcha. You think that Israeli Jews and their western allies control all mainstream media.

Thanks for the clarification.

Ah, so like linkerbaan you think that Israeli Jews and their western christian allies control the media.

Thanks for the clarification.

Oh, I was trying to understand your position on who controls western media. That's all.

Unlike you, I personally don't believe Israeli Jews and their allies control all mainstream western media.

Given the level of political debate that's coming out of the US of late, I wouldn't be surprised that a large amount of Americans would think Lafayette is a brand of gay French mayonaise.

Would you say that western Zionists been indoctrinated by Israeli propaganda?
