I'll throw in, YouTube channels are all fully functional RSS feeds, and you don't need to interact with YouTube at all to get your subscriptions.

Plus you turn it on/off by clacking the eyes together.

This took me straight from disinterested to sold

Provided you live in a country that cares about transparency.

My meter has a single LED and a propietary optical connection that claims to alarm the supplier if used.

Will we ever stop referring to the Web as "the Internet"?

I haven't played with this too much, but I'm reasonably confident you only need an X11 and a Wayland implementation. Mplayer / mpv can play on "rootwin" on X11. For Wayland I think it's a layer.

Which nut butter do you prefer?

This reads like it was written by an LLM

I would argue our society disproportionately economically rewards TE fields and S&M (no not like that) get lip service because if they didn't get a mention it would be far too obvious how disconnected economic value is from societal value

Replaceable caps definitely exist, they are common on glass soft drink bottles where I am. They look just like the plastic lids but in thin sheet metal, complete with perforations and ring.

Some of the screwtop beer bottle style reseal pretty well too.

All the adjacent windows have various minor ailments and phrases like "fix this? Treat that?" It's trying to give an idea of what chemists can do for you.

In Aus chemists (pharmacists) are medical professionals, capable of providing medical advice and minor treatment, but a lot of people don't consider going to the chemist for anything other then buying specific medicine (or for some reason, perfume or most egregiously, homeopathy).

And in case you're still confused, the baby is crying (implied for medical reasons like colic)

Amazing how different it feels to hear "racially aggravated harassment" vs "called police officer 'stupid white bastard'".

"You may not reverse engineer, decompile or disassemble any portion of the output generated using SDK elements for the purpose of translating such output artifacts to target a non-NVIDIA platform.,"

This is literally a protected right in multiple countries, so um...

Nicotine eCigarettes are still available by prescription

I disagree with the chosen changes , but they come as a result of nicotine being found in the vast majority of "nicotine-free" vapes and juices. So we're not really coming from a position of "choose what goes into your body".

Being paid is, unfortunately, not a legal requirement if work experience is a mandatory part of your course.

In SA paid internships exist but are very competitive. Most of my graduating class was unpaid.

I'm very glad to hear that's an expectation in Qld, companies should be ashamed to offer unpaid positions.

Engineering has 12 weeks full time.

I don't know if it's addressed by the review but TAFE certs often have placement reqs.

Law has something, there was a scandal a few years ago v where students were paying huge sums for placements at some institutions.

Missed the headline point

Former politician targeted

Without naming the individual, Burgess said the A-team “successfully cultivated and recruited a former Australian politician”. He said this occurred “several years ago”.

“This politician sold out their country, party and former colleagues to advance the interests of the foreign regime,” Burgess said. “At one point, the former politician even proposed bringing a prime minister’s family member into the spies’ orbit. Fortunately that plot did not go ahead but other schemes did.”

I have segfaulted in all those languages.

The correct answer is, was and always has been elastic tabstops

It's not unusual, but there are also plenty of drivers that are uninterested in conversation
