My DNA is a sexually transmitted disease

Lillipad Cafe in Sydney, AU. I was going to order a kangaroo burger with deep-fried saltbush, but turns out they’re closed :(

I was reading an Apple Maps “best restaurants” guide and it had a button to get Uber Eats from a restaurant listed as 7,900 miles away.

“Axis of evil” was a GWB and Cheney thing. I don’t think Obama ever used the term.

Incompetent verification is definitely a problem, like they applied the most simplistic concept of ‘what’s a valid email address’. I had a problem like this with a website that needed an address, trying to sign up for a phone at my new house. My address went like ‘123123 State Road 533’ The name of the road was State Road 533, that is, as in Highway 533. However, the address interpreter read it as a road called State Rd and ignored the 533, and told me the address wasn’t found.

It’s attractive, though.

I’d rather receive a loot box than a $30 special reddit png that I don’t even get anything for.

Only if the person has received a total of 10 special arrows recently, or something.

I’m not Australian.

The Australian pronunciation works… “squi-rell”. Common American one is somehow just one syllable, “Skwurl”

Those are all based on the commercialization of Christmas, of course.

No kidding. But it’s specifically capitalist garbage and it’s the for- profit companies involved in it top to bottom who strongly resist reforms. They invest millions and millions in lobbying and with propagandizing the populace anytime Congress starts seriously looking at changing anything. And I mean hell, we even have TV commercials for prescription drugs.

I’m sure it would be possible to make a capitalist, private, for profit healthcare system that isn’t abusive. For a while, maybe, since the nature of capitalism is to grow to extract as much from consumers as possible. In any event, that’s not what we have in the United States, and it does cause people to die.

People who have died trying to ration insulin, due to how in the US it’s made by for-profit corporations, diabetes care requires many other ridiculously expensive supplies, and the system is set up to require expensive doctor office visits and insurance to maintain a prescription, though type 1 diabetes is life-long. Plenty of other medical examples also.

I was disappointed when they discontinued the mini.

True, though it would be horrifically uncomfortable to be forced to sit like that for 4 hours without the ability to shift positions.

Imagine trying to evacuate in a rush. Also, deep vein thrombosis.

Lemmit is a bot/instance that automatically reposts stuff from reddit.

A whole lot more than game engines uses C#.

Jim Jordan doesn’t quit that easily.
