Just like Hitler before him, Trump is benefiting from the fact that journalism is an incremental, daily business. Every day, reporters have to find something new to write or broadcast. Trump keeps saying dangerous and crazy things, but that’s not new. He’s said it all before. His impeachments and the January 6 insurrection...
At this point there is zero logical reason that cigarettes aren’t banned. The only logical reasons are that the government likes the $40/pack tax more than Australians dying, or big tobacco donations… I am not advocating the ban of ciggies, it just makes zero sense to continue to go after vapes when turning a blind eye to the other ‘death maker’
If the SPAC is approved this week, he could potentially use the stock as collateral to get a bond and avoid having properties seized or declaring bankruptcy by next week’s deadline.
Dell made something similar about 4 years ago… I am pretty sure it was called an Optiplex 7070 Ultra. They came in an 8th gen i7 that would idle around 5w
When I was young my Dad bought me some mercury home from work… I loved how it moved when I shook the bottle and the weight of it.
When I had my own kids I didn’t want it around, so our local council had set up a event where you could dispose of household liquids like old paints and solvents, so I took it down. When I drove up, the guy asked me what I was disposing of so I said mercury. It was bizarre. I was told to stay in the car and a guy came out of a shed in a full hazmat suit with one of those pairs of metal tongs to retrieve it from me.
I remember Dad telling me that miners used to collect gold pan tailings in mercury and then of a night they would hollow out a potato and put the mercury in, and then put that in the camp fire… it would burn off the mercury and leave a little ingot of gold.

You think a multi trillion dollar company is just winging it from a legal standpoint? Or do you think they have worked with the EU to develop the policy within a hair of what they are actually required to do?
Sure, but it would be illogical to think that a company with seemingly unlimited resources would get fined, and then introduce new that didn’t exactly comply with what was required… I mean, I would think they are working with the EU to ensure it is within a millimeter of what they are allowed. It seems you just don’t like it.
Alcohol is a normal part of the day for politicians… would have to be near the only government workplace in Australia where they have a (public subsidised) bar in the lunchroom

As a shortcut to configuring it, you can go to the site (like Kagi) and if they have a text field to paste into (or a search field) you can generally right click on the field and select ‘add keyword for this search’… so say you add ‘kagi’ as a search term (in the cmdlet) in the browser address bar you would just type kagi <paste url> and hit enter
I think we are saying the same thing… the noisy ones will be around for either decision… they will be either protesting that it should stay the 26th (if it were to be changed), or protest that it is the 26th as invasion day… the fact that it goes away the day after makes it an easier decision for the government of the day… they just have to wait it out.
I don’t care which, I don’t celebrate other than enjoying the public holiday. If I could swap it for my birthday off, I would do that :0)
