Our rituals around death are really for the living. We should respect the wishes of the family of the deceased because it's important to make the (already difficult) grieving rituals as meaningful and painless as possible, not because of the moral qualities of the deceased.
I mean, radioactive isotopes are formed in supernovae, so it's really just solar power from a different sun, right?
Can we not celebrate the people who have made sacrifices for their country and for ideals like freedom, and support those people because they have inadequate support from the government who ordered their sacrifices, while also decrying the actions and behaviours which we see as morally wrong?
Ibuprofen is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory (NSAID). It will reduce inflammation and the associated pain. If your pain is not caused by inflammation then you should talk to a pharmacist about what the best analgesic is for you.
Is it over-use of Photoshop or really bad HDR?
Flooding leaves horrible mud in its wake. It's full of sewage, vehicle fluids, and heaps of nutrient for bacteria, leading to a terrible smell.
Really we should be asking (I want to know) why FEMA invented their own USAR standards instead of adopting the INSARAG ones? Why the US have put so much more money into USAR and not flood and storm response? Surely after Harvey and Katrina, not to mention tornadoes, you've learned that having something like Australia's SESs would provide you with surge capacity of people skilled in storm damage mitigation and flood rescue? I really would like to know
Well, poor black people at least
A new book by Australian journalist Joe Aston claims Albanese made several calls to ex-CEO Alan Joyce, and received upgrades on 22 flights taken between 2009 and 2019.
Look, I'm not one to stick my neck out for politicians, but this seems like clever wordplay. An MP, then the transport minister, and now PM made several calls to the CEO of our national air carrier, and also received a bit over two free upgrades on flights over 10 years? It seems like we're expected to make the inference that he asked for these based on coincidence and hearsay. Perhaps he earned them via a fequent flyer program.
Really this all should be referred to a federal ICAC. Oh wait...
People getting brake and break mixed up annoys me, but I get it. If this is you, your car has brakes and you take a break from work after breaking your arm.
Mitch Hedberg jokes while high is a pretty smart move. Either that or you're the only person who finds them funny and end up looking like an idiot.
Ah yes, "growth", aka zero-um growth of one megacorp over other tech companies. Never seen this one before, what could possibly go wrong?
1 in 1000 year events are poorly named. One because it describes a likelihood, so this storm had a 0.1% chance of occurring in any given year, so we'd expect to see a storm like this once every thousand years on average. It's not cyclical. Two, the likelihood of these storms is steadily increasing and so it's probably no longer a 1 in 1000 year event.
Almost certainly not. It's common in some communities for people to write their own image transcriptions.
All of these things are only valuable if you do not have the technical expertise required to analyse the validity of the conclusions the authors draw from the methods.
This is a good video about who shouldn't be sharing pictures of their keys online: https://youtu.be/6mr-7hjItX0?si=zx8QnEX1P_QpTN8U. If you're a nobody who doesn't share pictures of their home you will probably be ok.
