The fake nudity /commenting rules are clearly aimed at X and in particular grok but I wouldn't expect much clarity in the legislation given the age and background of most politicians. The NBN failures are all you need to know about Canberra's grasp of technology. It will be at best a threat to hold over social media companies what it mean for users is anyone's guess.

Less news or less propaganda?

Oh no. They will have to think on their own and not be force fed bullshit. Whatever will we do.

Love it, I honestly hope we see more of this kind of housing. While not suited for everywhere but if your rural/semi-rural in a BAL FZ area which is pretty much anywhere surrounded by bush. The benefits to energy rating too are good.

As climate change becomes more of a thing here and 50 degree days become the norm in summer we'll all live and work underground in a hundred years if things keep going the way they are. Mole people!

I'm sorry to hear that... I only got stuck 20 minutes because I turned back before entering the motorway. I thought that once in the motorway it would be an eternity before an opportunity to exit.

Ahhh the start of school holidays. That probably is the missing piece of the madness puzzle I didn't keep in mind. You are probably right. But still... Insane.

Only 20 mins? I got stopped in 2 hours after a pile up...

I think this year has been hard on people, and are using this time as a way to say "well we probably won't be able to drive soon, so let's do a small trip this one last time.

It's also an easy 4 day long weekend if you extend to Monday and start of school holidays too! The powers combined and everything is nuts.

There are ticks in the northeastern (I believe) US which transmit the same allergy, not sure if it's the same species of tick.

It's not just Australia.

I know, the comment was tongue in cheek

IIRC, the allergy comes from a tick bite, not something inherent to the steak. Once you are allergic, you are allergic to all mammalian meat. I'll look it up and edit with a link.

EDIT: Nevermind, it's right in the posted article.

So there’s nothing in Australia that isn’t actively trying to kill you including the steak

Sadly I think the US’s IQ is just continuing to drop.

Dame Jacinda had been living in the US and working for Harvard University.

"Increasing the average IQ of both countries."

Good luck enforcing this.

The other shoe drops.

So... How does one get to one of the alternate realities so often depicted in things like the Marvel movies? They've gotta be better than this quickly deteriorating shithole....
