Stop living in fantasy. He was forced out, under threat of the 25th amendment. This wasn’t some selfless act…he lost his faculties and had to be booted by his own party under threat.

It’s shit like this that makes me want to never use another Google app or service.

What possible justification is there for storing history of calculations in a calculator app?

I keep looking at maps and wondering how Ukraine haven’t been routed and cut off in enemy territory with no supply lines. What they’re doing seems borderline insane but more power to them!

The Australian health system thinks walking, being able to work and living without pain isn’t a priority, in the next week we’ll have been on the waiting list for a year.

The global opiate crisis has created a situation where normal Australians in acute or chronic pain can no longer access pain management. The crazy thing is, due to strict prescribing guidelines we never really had the kind of problems that were seen in the USA, yet we have made doctor petrified to prescribe where there is genuine pain.

2 years on a waiting list is a very long time to try and get on with life in serious pain, and I’m very sorry that you are dealing with this. I know it can be difficult to carve out the time and money, but if you can push hard to see a pain management specialist you might have more luck. There are synthetic options that can be taken long term whilst you await your specialist appointment/ surgery but you have to PUSH. Visit the ER daily until you get an outcome if you can’t afford to buy your way in.

This country is under attack and every single person that buys into the lie of private healthcare drives another nail into our coffin.

All the time. I could have typed a multi-paragraph masterpiece but then I realise I can’t be bothered offering help in a world full of people that know everything about everything and are never wrong.

You’d be surprised. Check AliExpress. There are aftermarket units built to fit perfectly into every dumb auto fascia they’ve come up with to prevent it. A simple harness adapted is usually sufficient to restore steering wheel controls etc.

I’ve heard of a couple of vehicles where you simply cannot replace the media centre because it doubles as climate control input etc but the simple answer is: refuse to buy those vehicles.

GM Single handedly keeping aftermarket stereos relevant. I wouldn’t buy a car with this solution.

Android auto upgrades with my devices. It’s the best solution.

Nobody uses dropbox because they like dropbox. They use it because it’s usually the only such service supported by the stupid fucking app they need on the stupid fucking ipad their company insists they use which has no other viable way to put files on and off of the fucking cunting thing because apple is fucking stupid and so is this god damn company.

Someone once told the IT manager that apple devices are “the most secure” and he doesn’t even fucking realise that by forcing us to use fucking stupid third party fucking services like fucking dropbox to get files on and off that they are subjecting confidential commercial fucking information to being fucking exposed to third fucking party boneless fucking cunts.

Says the man that never cooked rice or pasta in his entire life.

It absolutely works.

EDIT: Found it. Can be ordered with the global rom too, so you don’t have to deal with immediately flashing a rom that isn’t in Chinese. https://www.aliexpress.us/item/1005006119419693.html

I have been buying phones and various other electronics on Aliexpress for years, shipped to Australia.

For Australia, Aliexpress have implemented a system where the required import tax is handled during the transaction. I’ve never had a single issue with customs and there is no further paperwork. It couldn’t be any easier, and there is a level of buyer protection not quite as good as ebay in the medium term, but certainly protection if your goods don’t arrive or they arrive damaged or not as described.

For us, it is a standard 10% tax on all imports so it’s easy enough for them to calculate and pay at checkout. None of those things you mentioned are an issue.

The more realistic concern buying mobiles is if your device will support VoLTE and VoWifi out of the box in your country. Bands are generally OK these days because manufacturers rarely make a seperate device for each country anymore - all bands are generally included. The exception is, if you are using one of those weird US networks that are still using CDMA technology.

You nailed it. Users cannot be trusted to not re-use login credentials.

I know we all hate it, but proper 2-factor authentication via authenticator apps must be the default position for everything.

She treated herself

Seems like a fair and reasonable response to a cartoon.

The religion of peace strikes again.

Finished as in they no longer get to be installed on anything in my house. I realise that most people seem to love the taste of shit sandwiches. Not for me.

As soon as streaming services start acting like that, they’re gone. The only one I have left is Netflix, and it is on thin ice - we’ll see what they do with their pricing structure going forward and if they start trying to push ads on higher tiers.

This would involve successfully finding a wall stud to install on and the use of power tools. With the information OP has revealed about themselves, that seems like a recipe for a broken TV and half a wall ripped out or a trip to the ER. Of course it will be the fault of the drill manufacturer and they might sue.

I’m not judge, jury and executioner…neither was Chauvin. I really don’t care if he lives or dies.

all labor is prostitution

Pleased to meet you, comrade.

Prostitution is a very hard job.

You better be quiet before you summon the bears.
