Algorithms for randomness on things like spotify cant actually be true random because true random will sometimes do weird shit that makes users think its broken. Like if you put 10 songs from 10 artists on a 100 song playlist and hit random there is a not 0% chance that it will put all 10 songs from 1 artist in a row.
That the governments of the world actively encourage conspiracy theories because in general they foster a belief that they are significantly more competent than they actually are.
I’m Australian and I want to drive across my country. But with a twist.
I want to grab my best friends, all fly to Perth (Far western Australia) on a friday. We each have $5000 and the weekend to buy a car and prep it for the 3900kms back to sydney.
Do our own stupid little top gear adventure.
Theres 2 kinds of men in the world, those that beat their dick from time to time and fucking liars.
I mean there can’t be no penalty for leaking classified information, justified or not. But after 12 years, the damage has been well and truly done the US govt was just looking childish by not cutting him a deal and putting the whole thing to bed.
Talk to your employer about taking on the role on a “fixed term” basis of say 6 months. Tell them honestly why and see what they say. If you’re concerned about the lack in money see if you can take the 9 to 5 and supplement with the odd Sunday shift back on the floor to prop the wages up if that suits you.
Nah, thats not it.
The gourmet stuff just seems to be missing the whole point for me, not saying its bad Ive had some that were really good but they just seem to be missing the point. Its never going to be good for me nutritionally speaking, its not going to be served at a michellin star restaraunt. It’s Macaroni and Cheese. It’s like corn chips, I’m not saying that the gourmet Deli ones are bad, but they arent Doritos. That orange powder is delicious because it’s fake and engineered. I wouldnt make Nachos with Doritos but if your after that “Cheez” its whats right.
Well then they stopped bringing that version into Australia, its all shit now.
I maintain that Mac and Cheese is one of those foods that weirdly gets better the worse and more fake it is.
Ive had some gourmet shit and I always think “I miss the old Kraft one with the tinned cheese.”
There was a version where the cheese came in a can and it was fucking glorious, then they discontinued it and now its a powder and its fucking terrible.
Now I’m not American but I did read something about this before but I’m quoting from memory… huge grains of salt to be taken with this.
Essentially I believe you can report it as “other income” not specify a source and refuse to elaborate if questioned or plead the 5th if it goes more serious. So in a way you are protected. They have to PROVE you got the money from committing a crime… “I’m just a lucky gambler”. Im pretty sure Whitey Bulger used to pay 30% more than a winning lottery ticket was worth to people so he could cash the ticket and justify his wealth.
I cant imagine the FBI are trawling tax returns, but if you hit their radar for some reason it will probably flag you as someone to be looked at. Just remember, tax evasion is how they got Al Capone but money laundering is also a crime so which one would you rather fuck with?
So if I buy a pack and hang out with the smokers at work then I’m breaking even?
Women (and trans women) naturally carry a higher body fat percentage than men (Incl trans men) a “male” athlete can more safely and more easily carry a lower body fat % and therefore more muscle per kilo. So the weight classes wouldnt be able to be 1:1 if you wanted a level playing field.
There is still the inherent biological advantage in being born male and going through male puberty and developing a male muscular/skeletal system before transitioning. Very difficult to rule around every nuance of this though.
I like the idea of an E-bike but it just wouldnt be practical in my life at the moment. But its a pretty good community, generally stays on topic and doesnt degenerate into arguments.
Its a case by case basis. Local news is probably a “yeah ok” or a niche hobby website that isnt an AI generated thinly veiled excuse for amazon affiliate links.
National organisation that still puts most of their shit behind a paywall and bombards me with bullshit. LOL, fuck off.
Have a look into E-Bikes, theres a great Micromobility community on Lemmy.
My dad has one with saddlebags and says its more like owning a small motorbike. Sure he has to pedal but he never has to pedal hard. If you’re worried about looking like a dork Mercedes make ones that look cool AF.
cargo bikes are getting really practical if thats your bigger worry.
Buy a good lock and put an air tag on it though.
I worked with a guy that if he slept in or ran late for work tossed his gym gear on instead of his work clothes and ran into the office apologising and went to the bathroom to get changed.
People thought that he was a fitness NUT and he always stayed back to make up the time so he was called dedicated. In truth I knew he trained after work and regularly stayed up mega late playing COD and slept through his alarm.
I honestly dont know or care.
I’m just some guy, I do what makes me happy, I do my best to be considerate but if my happy fucks up your day I dont care. If that isnt good enough for you, I still dont care.
