In the past the military would’ve had to pay an actress to pretend to be a bridge bunny.

we have microplastics instead now.

It’s fine as long as you don’t do something silly like invite a journalist to your top secret government group chat.

Oddly the UK is somehow ahead here https://www.gov.uk/guidance/using-open-document-formats-odf-in-your-organisation

Grapheneos seem to spend as much, if not more, time attacking other rom Devs than they do Google, it’s pathetic.

reprap goes brrrr

What a garbage article.

The article lionises RCT, the gives us

The data alone seems to suggest cannabis medicines are relatively safe. But this may not be reflected in real-world use.

So it’s okay to substitute “real world use” for side effects but not effects?

Currently, there is a mismatch between the research evidence on medicinal cannabis – mainly short-term trials and CBD formulations – and real-world use, which is longer term and often using high-THC products.

So they admit nobody is actually doing, or paying for, studies on the correct medication.

We need more research on cannabis medicines, particularly for conditions with limited alternative treatments, and monitoring over longer periods.

As the TGA conducts a review of medical cannabis prescribing in Australia, these findings should inform future regulation.

“we know fuck all else works for what people are using this for, but it should still be banned”.

What vindictive assholes.

When did military leaders become so spineless?

Wellesley must be spinning in his grave (he probably was already at the lack of hats in parliament, but that’s besides the point)

Their security was a bit wank.

“we can excuse mass surveillance, but we draw the line at racism” is what I get from that.

But still boring

I do wonder how much of this is just that moderate parties are boring.

They’re arguing it under section 20, probably this part

the making available to the public of the work by electronic transmission in such a way that members of the public may access it from a place and at a time individually chosen by them.

It looks like they’re arguing that by hosting the games valve are acting as a pirate MP3 site.

I think they would have to prove that they did so knowingly, which can only really be done if they ignored takedown notices.

This was inevitable after valve caved to pressure from card processors. The sharks have smelt blood.

Juries are very unpredictable in such cases. And that’s what they are playing on.

This is in the UK, except in very rare exceptions, we don’t have juries for civil matters.

I used to be an editor on there so have a lot of mixed feelings about it, there’s a lot of bullshit that goes on.

It’s good for hard sciences, but most articles on “soft” subjects like history do have a pro western liberal capitalist bias. Although the amount of bias usually depends on what senior editor decided he owns the article, despite “owning” articles being against the Wikipedia rules.

I’m pretty sure 200km of fibre isn’t going to be cheap either

It’s odd they found this in the unit the manufacturer sent them for review. With this kind of scam they would normally make sure the review models had the correct processor. I wonder if this was done by a supplier or subcontractor without them knowing.

And a monitor that supports usb-c, I assume.
