I don't even get a full day out of my first gen pixel watch. Gotta turn the screen off to get close to it. Why am I wearing a watch that I can't see the time on, again?
As an Australian, no we didn’t. We just had it put in context. Jews around the world are great people, the Israeli government and the hardline supporters are absolute monsters. I hope the Australian government tells them as much. Israel deserves no support and everything that may happen when it’s withdrawn.

When special counsel Jack Smith criminally charged Donald Trump this month for attempting to overturn the 2020 election, the indictment referenced six unnamed co-conspirators—five of whom are identifiable—who aided the ex-president’s plot to stay in power, i.e. break the law. Why Smith chose not to charge these individuals...
Former tax professional here. The problem is that the billionaires aren't really billionaires. Elon Musk does not have a quarter trillion dollars in his bank account. His net worth is calculated from what other people think his holdings are worth. He cannot be taxed on this.
Unless someone is game enough to pass legislation enabling taxation of "unrealised gains" (while not allowing credits/offsets for unrealised losses), billionaires will continue not paying their fair share of tax.
Seasons 6 and 7 were split into two halves for airing. This led to some sources claiming that each half was a separate series.
The same problem happened with the first four seasons (the OG ones). They were split up and episodes were aired out of order, so some sources claim that there are five seasons. It's really, really annoying if you want to watch the episodes in order and Plex has decided that "fuck you no, there are five seasons of random lengths" >_<
There is literally nothing the user can do to curate their experience on Threads. No matter who you follow or who you mute, your feed is a neverending firehose of complete bullshit. It's straight into the bin for me.
I doubt he's a dumbass, but he sure has absolutely zero long-term vision. Dude is all about the quarterly increases in profits, and sadly, that's all capitalism give a shit about :(
Android. I like being able to install apps from places other than the official app store. Do I do it often on my phone? No. But I also have an Android-powered retro handheld gaming doodad (Retroid Pocket 3) and that's full of all kinds of homebrew, from Sonic fangames to emulators to a sourceport of Mario 64 that could never be gotten from the Apple appstore.
Do I like Android? Yes, but as much as I used to. I used to really look forward to exploring a new version of the OS, but over the past five years or so there's been a steady march to iOS-ify it and dumb it down. Now, when I install a new version of Android, I get a sinking feeling in my stomach as I see all the nifty stuff being removed :(
I'm American and in addition to our messed up healthcare system. Teeth are simultaneously so important that I have to see a specialist (dentist) for routine care, but so unimportant that it's not included in my healthcare coverage. Is it like that elsewhere?
I had a lipoma removed for free under Medicare a couple of years back, much to the shock of at least three doctors who insisted that it couldn't be done.
Mind you, now I'm 20 months into a 90-day waiting period to have my gallbladder removed...
12 months to see a hospital physio who got me in front a surgeon the next day, he wondered how I was still walking.
Same thing happened to me with my lipoma. it was 15cm in diameter by the time a GP finally referred me for surgery. The surgeon said "yeah we like to remove them when they're 5cm diameter or greater". Which was the size it was when I first saw a doctor about it.
It was about 18 months before I got surgery, when they told me it was a 6-month wait. So I'm sure you'll get seen before too long =)
President Biden said he won’t expand the Supreme Court because doing so would “politicize” the court in an unhealthy way. But it’s a political institution by its nature — and a disturbingly undemocratic one.
