Good lord, Syrc jumpscare

I can't believe Gura broke her contract with Yagoo /s

While no doubt we could've done a lot worse, this still reads like a satirical headline to me

There is no war Tuesday 27 February in !melbourne@aussie.zone

I can't believe Yagoo locked Gura into a contract that requires her to stream until she's 90 /s

It actually sounds like the van's panels (I'm guessing especially the large roof panel) can provide non-trivial power:

"Even if I'm stuck somewhere we just have to wait a couple of hours and it'll self charge and bring me home." (emphasis added)

No doubt the huge array of panels on his roof can give it a lot more juice though!

"TOMATOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO" Kaela said calmly

Mumei as a source of radical societal reform was not on my bingo card.

Covid, yes, but not widespread lockdowns (and some other stuff from the "early covid" period) which is basically what the article is reflecting on. For example, I hadn't really thought about how it could affect child social development due to significantly reduced social exposure.

This isn't really a "covid is over" piece. 'It's still a serious human pathogen' wouldn't be a sub-heading if it was.

Good stuff, sometimes aggressive measures need to be taken to look out for the interest of the shareholders. Plus the fuel discount is a perfectly timed Christmas gift, exactly what Australia needs in a cost of living crisis. Bravo Woolies, very proud to have my superannuation invested in a company that cares!

It's a mixed bag (haha). Sometimes they do a decent job, sometimes not so much.

In this experiment, external funding is paying for the handouts.

In a self-contained system, the same system/community providing the handouts would be generating the revenue for them (e.g., via taxation). Think of existing social welfare where "the system" generates the revenue that pays for the welfare programs.

I agree it's a useful insight, but it's the only sentence in the entire article that isn't instead discussing the merits of lump sum vs regular payment. Saying that "it's the takeaway" from the linked article is insanity.

The Wikipedia page for Hitler includes the sentence:

The stock market in the United States crashed on 24 October 1929.

That doesn't make it the takeaway of the article!! If you want to make a case for something, bring the right evidence. As the researchers themselves have said, this study can't just be generalized to high-income countries.

In terms of spiciness, my impression was no. If I hadn't looked at the ingredients, I wouldn't have guessed there was any in there.

I had a few of these a couple weeks ago (someone I know bought a packet) - the baking soda (?) seems to be what makes it "kinda ginger beer" instead of just "ginger".

edit: typo

I've never seen the stats before and 8% seems really high?? Is there some subset of Australia that tips all the time that I rarely see?

Edit: nvm, the stat is confusing as other commenter pointed out.

The number of payments with tips has remained stable throughout the last year with 0.52% of payments throughout the hospitality sector including a tip in August 2023, according to Lightspeed.

Given that they remind readers what brands an Android phone phone could be, I don't think the article is aimed at many aussie zoners.

I guess they're trying to drive home that the scammer isn't coming at you with a poorly worded email riddled with typos here - the overlay can look legitimate (even if in some cases it still has typos lol). Probably would've been a bit much for them to cover every banking interface tbf.

It's weird - seems like a pretty big viewerbase to (basically) ignore. I guess it does make collabs more challenging when there's 3 timezone groups to deal with, but that seems like a weak reason to leave so much on the table so there's gotta be something else there right?

What the fuck, was not expecting more EN debuts o_O I kinda though starsEN wasn't getting enough engagement to support another gen yet but maybe Cover thinks they can pull it off?
