Yeah I don't really like this trend of people trying to shame each other over how they spend their money. We get it: you're mad cause you're poor and others have more money than you but crying about it won't change that. Concenrate on improving life for yourselves and those around you instead of trying to tear down others through envy. There are plenty of people struggling financially who just get on with it and try to make the most of life but I guess some are born to sook.

"iN tHe MiDdLe oF A hOuSiNg CriSis" doesn't actually mean anything either. Housing is a long-term issue that will require long-term solutions, there is no quick fix here. So how long do the complainers expect Albanese to hold off on spending his own money, I wonder? He is 61.

Sounds like the SA Liberals are providing free campaign material for Labor to destroy them with in the next election. As if they even needed it, the Libs are a complete mess.

Resolution doesn't mean much, those sites you are referring to use extremely low bitrate encodes that look terrible. Yes, streaming services (in my experience Netflix is the main offender) can sometimes deliver dogshit quality streams too due to their adaptive bit rates, but the ceiling is way higher than those sites that pull from DDL file hosters. If you are consistently suffering from very low quality paid streams then you likely have some kind of network issue affecting the adaptive bitrate.

Most streaming services have introduced cheaper "ad-supported" tiers within the last few years while jacking up the prices of the existing tiers. There is usually a price gap designed to either make you sit through ads or overpay to remove them. Many (most?) people don't even use ad-blockers in their web browsers and are psychologically trained to sit through ad breaks, either because of TV (older generation) or YouTube (younger generation) which is why these streaming companies can get away with such a betrayal of their original premise.

Ranked is solo queue only, so you wouldn't be able to play with those 5 friends anyway.

Last month one of his sons, Ned, said his father was in an aged care facility and was mostly “non-verbal”.

“For those of you who don’t know, my dad was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s around five years ago,” Ned wrote. “He’s now non verbal most of the time (mind-blowing for me but also any of you that know him).”

Very sad way to go out for both himself and his family and friends. I'll always remember the days watching George Negus Tonight as a youngster, not really understanding what any of it was about. It used to come on after the kids shows finished so I usually watched a bit of it before dinner.

The spirit orbs are sort of like an aim trainer mini-game. They get you to constantly practice short flicks throughout a match, it's very satisfying.

This has been my experience too. I bought a new model from LG last year, thinking the technology would have evolved enough by now to be useful. Instead it consistently gets itself stuck in the stupidest places and re-cleans the same spots repeatedly whilst completely ignoring others. In the accompanying app I can see a map of what it thinks the room looks like and it's always wrong because the vacuum has this habit of continuing to drive into walls and recording it as forward movement in an open space instead of a wall, which completely skews the dimensions.

These stories always make me so sad because the mistreatment of people on working holiday visas has been a widespread problem for such a long time and yet there is seemingly little desire for a solution.
