Then in order to "cure" said autism, they pump their children with any manner of completely worthless and dangerous interventions from the same pharma companies they claim to hate.

Give me all of the game's code, like they have done with older DOOM entries.

I thought the headline was talking about all of the DOGE preteens he brought in to destroy the government. Although maybe they are his children too?

What's wrong with this country? Can't I walk down the street without being offered a job?

I'm sure threatening current and prospective students will help with declining enrolments.

Arbeit macht frei - work sets you free

I think it's more that these people are lazy and stupid. Like the students that turn in crappy AI generated papers with made up references.

One of the vanishingly few benefits of not being a democracy, is that the people just can't just vote in an idiot. Of course, there are other avenues for an idiot to take over an authoritarian government (historically, usually by war or inheritance).

I think it's mainly Vietnam tariffs that will hit the Switch 2 (Nintendo moved manufacturing their to minimise tariffs in the first place). But they are harsh enough in their own right.

This is also concerning:

Here, there was a general presumption that consent could be provided once, and no further consent or negotiation at subsequent events would be required.

I kind of roll my eyes at the consent subjects that are becoming mandatory at universities thinking this stuff is obvious, but clearly people actually need this education.

Here's the actual study (should be free to read): https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10508-024-02937-y

• Removed sparse buffer usage that was introduced in DXVK 2.6. This caused all sorts of driver issues that would cause hangs and instability on AMD Vega GPUs and others. (PR #4763) Note: This may increase peak memory usage in some games again.

On this change, it seems it only affects pre-RDNA1 AMD GPUs and so the feature should continue to work on other GPUs. See: https://github.com/doitsujin/dxvk/pull/4763/

I'm sure if elected he'll find some pretext to bring these policies back (or something even worse).

EDIT: Oh and "wasteful spending" starting to be linked to Trump/Musk/DOGE may be a good thing in the near to medium term, since it draws a line between cuts to public service and the US (which is currently toxic).

Yes, but only for 2.4 ghz since I live in a small apartment and there's no benefit to high transmit power in those cases. 5 ghz is another story since it doesn't penetrate walls easily anyway, so no harm to others.

Before his government service, he was a partner at Soros Fund Management

LOL, you'd think the MAGA types would already be calling for his head based on that.

And:

Bessent has praised Trump's proposal to implement broad tariffs

Aren't you getting exactly what you wanted, Bessent?

I can tell you the pictures on pouches do nothing to deter me.

I get your point, but it's less about people that are already addicted, but reducing the number of new people taking up the habit. And if even a small proportion of smokers quit due to the imagery, that's still a win in terms of public health outcomes.

Consider limiting to independents that have a sane platform (as some are just extreme right-wingers in disguise), and the Greens.

And you kind of stated it implicitly, but ranking Labor above the Coalition is a given.

Among the examples listed was the GST applied to the sale of imported services and digital products to Australian consumers.

Blame the Coalition for this one. Although the fact tech companies are now throwing a tantrum over it makes me less inclined to care.

• Poor infrastructure in many of these communities, and no way to get to larger towns and cities without a car. So you're stuck with crappy chain stores and terrible quality food, harming your health. And it's boring, because it can't support many kinds of entertainment.
• Smaller communities tend to skew towards conservatives, and there's little way to escape from it (due to the distances and the lack of high speed rail). So expect more religiosity, more discrimination, and politicians that are even shittier than the average.

And Canadian and Australian firefighters have less of an incentive to help out this time, given err recent events.
