…exactly the kind that discourages 60-something, non-technical family members.

And machine-gunning the Doc.

Still have to explain them.

It’s kinda funny that, like Russia, this invasion is just showing how a an ‘elite’, ‘gold-standard’, ‘most-moral’ military in the world is simply incompetent at actually running a war.

Given individual missions, soldiers can shoot their way in and out but they can’t handle communication between units.

I have to imagine the groups coordinating the safe passage of aid trucks are either shitting all over the missile teams in the post-op briefings or filled with absolute dumbasses.

They are only clean and have GPS or even apps since Uber. Before they had competition, only premium cabs were vaguely healthy to use.

It’s literally nostupidquestions.

Humans and Neanderthals were neighbours for longer than previously thought. Also, we’re maybe back to humans making more tools.

…the discovery of more of its remnants alongside human fossils points to Homo sapiens inhabiting central Germany at the same time.

“It turns out that stone artefacts that were thought to be produced by Neanderthals were in fact part of the early Homo sapiens tool kit,” says Jean-Jacques Hublin, a professor in palaeoanthropology at Collège de France.

“This fundamentally changes our previous knowledge about this time period: Homo sapiens reached northwestern Europe long before Neanderthal disappearance in southwestern Europe.”

Is there more?

That is amazing!

Authorities initially had difficulty spotting Armstrong in Santa Teresa, a popular travel destination, as many of those in the town physically resembled Armstrong.

“I think from the get-go we were told … you’re gonna be in for a surprise, ‘cause a lot of the women in Santa Teresa look just like Kaitlin – a lot of them,” the deputy US marshal Damien Fernandez said to CBS.

Investigators even enlisted a female operative to take local yoga classes with the hopes of spotting Armstrong, a yoga enthusiast. But police were unable to locate her.

In a last ditch effort, US investigators posted an advertisement looking for a yoga teacher on Facebook.

This article’s a week old. The relief has been announced in tax bracket adjustments that roll back the Stage 3 cuts that were essentially going to remove the third bracket (primarily benefiting those earning >$135,000)

ABC story

What are the new stage 3 tax cut brackets?

Here’s how the proposed plan looks at a glance:

Earn up to $18,200 – pay no tax

Pay a 16 per cent tax rate on each dollar earned between $18,201-$45,000

Pay a 30 per cent tax rate on each dollar earned between $45,001-$135,000

Pay a 37 per cent tax rate on each dollar earned between $135,001 — $190,000

Pay a 45 per cent tax rate on each dollar earned above $190,000

What were they going to be?

Here’s what the previous plan looked like at a glance:

January is named for Janus, February for a religious feast, March for Mars and June for Juno (Jupiter’s wife). April may also be a goddess Apru but the connection is still not agreed upon.

Planet names, days of the week, months, which year is zero - even that we have 7 days in the week - All of these are direct religious references that we’re fine with.

Nah. It already applies to everyone else - this is maybe just about limiting the pool of challengers.

I hate teams that say Agile says “no doco”.

The principle is “Working software over comprehensive documentation… That is, while there is value in the items on the right, we value the items on the left more.”

Agile absolutely needs documentation but it shouldn’t hold up delivering working solutions and shouldn’t be more complicated than necessary.

We don’t want the old-school projects where software was ready but not delivered until a bible of doco was typeset, printed and bound.

Gun deaths in Australia are at an all time low over the past 5 years

While the best I can get on mobile is this, all gun violence (including lethal and non-lethal) is also way down on long term trends.

Additionally, it’s just a limit on how much you can download. You can still get 10 subtitles a day for free.

Your consumer can query the API on its own, and download 5 subtitles per IP’s per 24 hours, but a user must be authenticated to download more. Users will then be able to download as many subtitles as their ranks allows, from 10 as simple signed up user, to 1000 for VIP user.

Leaving the moral arguments aside, there were also massive campaign failures on the Yes side. No had two clear cheerleaders with an absurdly simple catchphrase: “If you don’t know, vote No”. Meanwhile Yes didn’t have a star for the campaign and had made the amendment way too simple/general so there weren’t any included details of the practicalities. So they ended up with 100 people having to re-explain their plans every campaign stop and occasionally tripping over each other’s messages. As a result, the complicated sell from Yes played right into No‘s hands.

Check your axes. You have 2x 25,000s. I genuinely want to know how on someone can create a chart with this kind of error these days. Surely you’re not adding axis labels with a graphics tool after the initial generation. Right?

Oh damn! I must be out of practice. Still a great tool
