  • The entire article and every comment here talks about 'cold' without mentioning a temperature at all

    So, here you go. In winter, where I am in Sydney, it's normally 14C indoors at night. With 3 layers of clothing, a beanie, and snuggled under a heated throw it feels like 25C.

  • I've been trying Organic Maps with Android Auto, and am struggling with it.

    Search is hit and miss, which I can deal with, but its GPS tracking is wacky. It has Location and Precise Location permissions, but for some reason it's not as accurate as Google Maps or Sygic - its movement tracking is jerky, it will randomly put me off the road or on another road. And when stopped, it will sometimes point me in the opposite direction or even spin me around a couple of times lol.

    It makes it hard to trust ☹️

  • I got a Kensington trackball. I'll never use a mouse again.

  • I set this up initially for gaming, but slowly am ending up using it more for remote than gaming...

  • Journalists at The Sydney Morning Herald, The Age, Financial Review, Brisbane Times & WAtoday.com.au ...

    Surprised there are any 😱

  • You forgot the other common denominator:

    Both US and Australia have Murdoch media

  • This video gets pointed out a lot.

    The title is 'Our friend is going to jail', and he even claims he's best mates with McBride. It's so obviously biased I have difficulties placing any trust in it.

    Is there a better independent source?

  • One shop I was at had a manual process going with cash only purchases.

    That blew up when I ordered 3 things and the 'cashier' didn't know how to add them together. They didn't have calculator on Windows available🤣

    I told them the total and change to give me, but lent them the calculator on my phone so they could verify for themselves 🤣

  • McBride’s intention was not to leak to expose war crimes, it was to show how troops were being unnecessarily hounded by legal etc , ie ‘over-zealous investigations of special forces’

    The ABC discovered war crimes in the leaks and went down that path, ignoring McBride's initial reason for leaking the information.

    Now McBride is allegedly playing a hero being victimised for exposing the war crimes.

  • It sounds like a good idea to get your software put in between business critical processes and charge a lot of money for it....

    ....up until your software stops all those business critical processes....

  • I've been looking into various farmer direct/co-op/budget friendly options lately, but as a small household, I'm fucked. It's the same reason Costco is useless to me. I'd be buying way more than I needed and it would spoil before we could get through it.

    I hate throwing out food and won't do it when so many people in the world go hungry.

  • When Choice tested, 4 out of 6 didn't meet their SPF claims. You can see who they tested in the smh article.

    I like the Cancer Council Active (grey one). It's not greasy/thick feeling, and actually dries on your skin. Mainly use for outdoor activities/sports.

    And while it's a bit more expensive than budget sunscreens, it's a lot less than a lot of sunscreens. Check out the prices on some of those she tested. Holy cost of living crisis, Batman!

    And I feel like I'm helping a bit by my money going to the Cancer Council.

  • Well, I don't see a problem with Adult Nuggies...

    But, oh, there's a lot of variability in parmi's and even in just a chicken schnitzel.

    Some 'chicken' schnitzels aren't pure chicken. They're some sort of mashed up beaks and feet with filler in breadcrumbs. Some are real chicken, but unidentifiable parts of a chicken. Some are real chicken breast, and even fewer are chicken thighs.

    Then you get the cooking bit. And it's so often overcooked. Dry, tough. Maybe they want to make you buy another beer to try and wash it down.

    I'm not even gonna start on the parmi side... It's not tomato sauce ffs, and your cheese and/or ham does matter. Most places going parmi makes a schnitzel worse instead of better.

    There's two places I know that do it well, and no, I'm not telling you where, because I'm not gonna show up to the place and be told they've sold out of my Adult Nuggies. No1 doesn't share his food.

  • The US - at best - can only get one new president every 4 years.

    Another point that their democratic system is inferior.

  • The enshITAfication continues even after Ita Buttrose left.

    It will not be completed until it becomes a cross between the Australian Women's Weekly and Cleo, including centerfolds of random b-list celebrities.
