The music Jox… certainly makes that creepy goanna even creepier (i did an episode in primary school)

Ruin a children’s television programme by changing one letter. I’ll go first: Bagpiss.

So French far right supporters are rioting because they didnt win. Sounds familiar…

As someone who has run many ICPMS samples over the years, calling BS on this paper. No way all 16 of those metals came up positive on a sample like that. Clearly contamination somewhere. Where the hell would vanadium and strontium even have come from? www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Proof that yes, your one vote does matter when you convince others to also come give their one vote. There are a LOT more people who dont vote than do in places where its not mandatory. Get up and vote, your vote can 100% make the difference.

BREAKING NEWS: Voters turned out in numbers not seen in decades to stop the far-right National Rally from taking power in the French National Assembly. Polls predicted a first-place finish for National Rally, which instead came in third in initial results as polling stations closed.

Projections in France's election show voters rejecting the far rightwww.npr.org Voters turned out in numbers not seen in decades to stop the far-right National Rally from taking power in the French National Assembly. Polls predicted a first-place finish for National Rally, which ...

Suggests to me the left leaning frenchmen dont bother to vote normally, happy enough if centre wins. Idea of the right winning on the other hand, got them out to polling booths. Looking at you états unis to do the same!

oh, apps are supposed to allow ability to turn off promotional push notifications independently but often walk right up to the line (and then over) before the respective app store enforces their guidelines (ride sharing apps are the worst for this) mjtsai.com/blog/2020/03...

When you feel like you have to accept an airline's push notifications in case there's info you need about your upcoming flight and get instantly spammed with "wanna get away?"

Dear Apple & Google; you really really REALLY need to distinguish between solicited and unsolicited notifications. Grubhub telling me my order is 5 minutes away: useful! Grubhub tapping me on the wrist in the middle of a conversation to tell me about this week’s specials: fuck all the way off.

note how long it took the French from calling the election to holding not 1 but 2 votes? and organizing the shit out of the second one? LESS THAN ONE MONTH A national election does not have to be a painful 1.5-2 year process! the US election campaign should quite honestly not even have started yet!!

How can lego be 18+? Surely 13+ is the limit as im pretty sure they dont do nudity or whatever

Spent about 3hrs today getting rooms and yard into shape for photos for the agent to advertise the place. Should have been spent packing instead if they had been smart enough to take photos last inspection 2 months ago

As a side note, this is John McEntee, Trump's Director of White House Personnel and the primary architect of Project 2025. On Tik Tok he said he gives counterfeit bills to homeless people so they will be arrested when they go to spend them.

Folks, tax is progressive. If you have a second job, the employer does know what you earn at the first job so they tax you in a lower bracket when it probably should be a higher bracket even if you dont claim TFT by mistake on both you will get a tax bill. Withhold more tax from second job

Don't let his lies scare you out of sharing the details of Project 2025 with everyone you know — especially those who are on the fence about their vote this year. There's good reason to believe knowing about Project 2025 focuses people's minds on the stakes. www.salon.com/2024/07/05/p...

Project 2025 was supposed to boost Donald Trump's campaign — but now it may be backfiringwww.salon.com Trump's authoritarian game plan is breaking through to people who haven't heard of it — and it's scaring them

Well the trees are moved. But no concreter. So couldn’t put in the yard as levels need doing still. So in alfresco and garage for now

Im kind of sad count binface didnt do better…. Would have been a half decent protest vote option i suspect

Did not expect that character to be in #StarTrekProdigy

Quick. Someone tell the liberals

What sicko thought writing an agenda and minutes would be more efficient in Excel? The same excel that has cell height limits so cant add large screen grabs… same excel you cant nest a table into a cell, cant track changes for minutes review, cant format text easily, and thinks every - is a minus?

The cool thing is that the plural is famuli, so you can say to the lab group that everyone there is a part of your famuli (putting on a Dominic Toretto voice of course) and people will *think* you are saying family, when you are actually calling them servants.

I came across a new old word today in the trivia calendar my wife gave me for Christmas. Famulus. I think this is a good one to use for any PhD students working for you.

How did they not advetise that Sydney Sweeney movie as Much Ado About Nothing modern take. Would have been way more interested by that! Anything but you.

"Oh SHIT we're running out of GAS we gotta extract MORE GAS" is one of the filthiest lies from Aus' fossil fuel industry, yet somehow it's also extremely successful and largely received completely uncritically every time it gets repeated by their cheerleaders www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Anyone want to put bets on whether electrician and plumber show up next week like we are being told they will? Will we have power and water coming moving day next sat? BS needs polls lol

So labor is admitting they didnt check citizenship of their own party member? www.news.com.au/national/pol...

Among the many, many issues here, it's clear that ICE has way too much money to play with.

ICE created a fake university in order to defraud, rob, and deport students. The depths of depravity there know no bounds. www.freep.com/story/news/l...

Students at fake university in Michigan created by ICE can sue US, court ruleswww.freep.com An appeals court ruled in favor of students who said they were tricked by ICE into enrolling at a fake university in metro Detroit.

We were told electrician would come this week. Dad rang him at start of the week and he said he wasnt and was booked for next 2 weeks. We are moving next weekend. Harvey norman order placed 3 weeks ago… not here. Plumber and electrician need that. No idea if plumber is coming next week as told..
