From the article

The company said the client was then moved to A O'Hare Funeral Directors at Leichhardt where doctors and perfusionists, who operate heart-lung bypass machines, worked to pump a liquid, which acts as a type of anti-freeze, through the body to help preserve cells and lower the body's temperature.

It's a pretty crude description for an audience not expected to know anything about this, but even so it's obvious they're not just shoving a body in liquid nitrogen and calling it a day.

For technical purposes that need to handle both you can just disambiguate it with "Letter (new)" and "Letter (work or school)"

A right not being reserved does not mean it is waived, only that it is not exclusive. The last person to commit still has the right to commit, as does everyone else.

Banducci is set to retire from the Woolworths Group in September 2024. The announcement occurred days after Banducci made national headlines for walking out of an interview with the ABC's four corners as part of their investigation into price gouging by major supermarkets in Australia.[3]

I don't think I've ever seen an "odd bunch" veggie that i wouldn't be happy to pick off the shelf, but I've seen plenty on the shelf I wouldn't pick

While that is a definition that's used by some, I would argue The OSI's Open Source Definition is more widely used within the field

If anyone is considering how to avoid this on their own site: https://indieweb.org/URL_design

Netflix baited me into a "new" sci-fi horror show. When it got to the end I looked up when the next season would be out.

Not only was it cancelled, it was cancelled without conclusion ten years ago.

Apparently it was only "new" to Netflix, but that didn't stop them pushing it as new content.

I still have Netflix, the streaming landscape is marginally less fragmented here. But fucking hell is it a bizarre chore just trying to find where on the home page "continue watching" and "my list" are today.

AI isn't being watered down, quite the opposite.

Path finding, computer vision, optical character recognition, machine learning and large language models were all unambiguously considered to be vAI technology before they were widespread, and now the media and general public tend to avoid the term for all but the most recent developments.

It's called The AI Effect

The ones near me don't have buttons of any kind

Just in case you're not just satirically listing things that are already awful;

Supermarkets increase their "retention" by limiting signage to keep you wandering and avoid "just get that thing and go" shopping. I don't know how common this is, but when I was a kid the major supermarkets had long lists of what items were in each aisle, plus highly visible signs in the aisle to show exactly where each category was. Now days at the major chains those in aisle signs are completely gone, and the categories have been whittled down to a few major categories; most products aren't represented on the sign at all e.g. you have to assume "cake mix/decorating" are in the same aisle as "flour".

Unskippable ads on all pumps are absolutely a thing that are getting more popular. Mobil is particularly bad for it in my experience.

There is an actually moral alternative to opt-out that doesn't have the poor-sampling problem of opt-in: ask for consent explicitly.

There are multiple ways depending on the version of electron the app was built against

Electron applications are notorious and prolific, and resolutions are very specific to versions and details of the program's build process.

Steam can be a big old flashy boi

And they still maintain their SteamOS, although it is only supported on Steam Decks.

It's not important, but there is no connection between the original Steam OS and there new one. The original was an Ubuntu derivative, and there new one is an Arch derivative.
