I don't need a game that's set in a fictional future and world to be 'authentically American'.

I would remind you that Aukus is a mess of the Coalition's making - after they made a mess of the original submarine replacement project under Abbott and Turnbull, insisting on Diesel.

But for Labor to withdraw from Aukus would cause a shitstorm of unseen proportions.

To run a debate with Trump and without live fact checking was just plain stupid. You know he's just going to run his rehearsed talking points without so much as trying to answer even mildly uncomfortable questions. They not only let him get away with serial lying, they basically laid the groundwork so he could get away with it.

Fact checks after the fact never reach the people that need to see them.

To this day I don't know what problem smart locks are supposed to solve that hasn't already been solved by the good old lock and key combo. Requires no electricity, no internet, just works.

That means they're not for your ears. Not that they're designed to inflict pain. I've had those AirPods, they were fine for me - and my ears don't like most earbuds that get shoved in there, and sometimes even start hurting from over-ear headphones. I now have the Airpod Pros and they're even better, all that goes into your ear is the silicone bud, no rigid plastic in the mix.

I remember Battlefield 2 being a prime example for that. Not only did its performance improve once I added a discrete sound card, it also sounded much better.

Lots of very roundabout 'the game isn't difficult, you just need to get good at it' replies in this thread, trying hard not to say the quiet part out loud...

I don't know how much you know about Germany, but energy security is not a huge problem over there. Over 60% of generated electricity is now coming from renewables. Nuclear peaked as early as 1995 (30%) and has been declining ever since. At the same time, Germany is steadily reducing its dependency on Russian fossil fuels.

The thing is, if Labor had announced such a completely undercooked policy - no timelines, no validation, lots of contradictions, and most importantly, no costings whatsoever - the media would be collectively crucifying them. And I'm not talking about the polite way The Guardian or The Conversation are dissecting the policy and bringing counterpoints. No, it would be open season in the most derogatory and aggressive language possible.

The fact that Dutton can bring this to a press conference and not get laughed out of the room is just utterly sad.

The owners of one of the proposed sites have already gone on record saying that a) they had not been contacted by anyone about this, and b) they had no plans to sell the site because they already have their own plans for it.

They're more than happy to spend eyewatering amounts of taxpayer money on projects where they can funnel said taxpayer money into the pockets of their donors.

There is a reason the Minerals Council is backing the policy...

That's the thing. Apple has that track record already. This years iOS update will be available for phones released as far back as 2017. And that's not a recent development - 4+ years have been the norm with iOS devices for a long time, while many Android phones have suffered from much faster obsolescence.

Google have yet to prove that they can fulfill this promise.

I'll touch base with you in 7 years to see how that's going.

*from the manufacturer

Does your Android phone get 5+ years of software support?

I know that now. Would you be so kind as to remove the full quote from your previous comment?

But thanks to you posting a full quote, there's no point in me doing anything else, is there?
