I read somewhere that they suspect it was trigged by excessive exposure to UV.

Aus has some of the most extreme UV and highest rates of skin cancer globally.

I'd also guess that we have pretty high rates of heavily tattooed people particularly in those coastal high UV areas.


"she'll be right" =/= "it's gonna be fine"

More of a it's not going to be fine but we will deal with it.

1000+KMs away in/not far from the capital city of Queensland it's not unheard of to have a multi-day power outage after a severe storm.

Considering QLD is almost 6x the size of Norway it's not actually that bad.


Successive Australian government's have done everything they can to trash academia in Australia, all the talent moves onto greener pastures overseas.

Our universities are addicted to foreign student $$$ and will become less and less relevant as countries who've taken decisive action like China, India, and parts of Latin America/south Africa start to bloom.

We'll likely have a MAGA like government within an election or two, can't imagine that will help.


This is awesome. You're a legend.

A short non-exhuastive history of t3ch moral panics: The Printing Press - 15th Century The Industrial Revolution - 18th-19th Century The Telephone - Late 19th Century Cinema and Early Media - 20th Century Video Games - Late 20th Century Social Media - 21st Century

Okay, maybe that last one hasnt gone so well..

He is kinda right though, music has become a passive feed, if anything I welcome the slopening, if it brings back live, local, experience based music then that's a win.


" the review, only four side-effects out of 66 listed were found to have any association with taking statins, and only in a very small proportion of patients.

The four were:

liver test changes minor liver abnormalities urine changes tissue swelling/swollen ankles There was no increase in liver disease such as hepatitis or liver failure, suggesting that the liver blood test changes did not lead to more serious liver problems."


I hear you and do a similar thing but then forget my notebook and so just ego lift till I injure myself, rinse, repeat.

I had set up something similar to what you’re talking about using shortcuts on iOS but I find myself coming back to the app “strong”.

Ultimately I think a notebook is the best way to do it but I use strong because my phone is terminally in my pocket, and it’s lets you view and export the data in different ways.


"(girls FTW)" if it wasn't so totally in character I would have assumed it was fabricated.

I'm honestly just unsure how he has managed to achieve so much without managing to be at least a little bit cool.


In the game of life, initial states have an appreciable effect on outcomes — especially where the Almighty Greenback reigns supreme. A leg up, a silver spoon in the mouth, or, say, family emerald mines can make a big difference.


Yeah but at some point you would assume the guy would have accumulated some coolness?


He is autistic.


I've met people on the spectrum that are cool.


Because its a not a growth oriented social media platform.

Its a link aggregator with good etiquette around commenting, no in-jokes or meta-drama.


And if it's growing it's doing it slowly and organically. The remaining question is "why is its popularity not fading"? And the answer is mostly the lack of enshitification patterns, I think.


Definitely


I feel personally attacked!...

You are right though, ive loved tinkering especially some if the cool linux based handhelds but i always come back to mobile/tablet because my limiting resource is time and android/ios kinda just works.


Took 12hrs, but I got my PocketChip updated to Debian Bookworm recently.


Isn't that still a major release behind? Trixie (Debian 13) came out last August.
