And very true. 32gb is 99 dollars Australia pesos, 16 is about 70 percent that. What a waste to let it sit around.

No US support for Armenia other than the training exercises and more that are being planned right now.

I'm lucky enough with my position that we have pretty well defined pay bands that mention our levels of knowledge, easily identifiable systems and managers that are basically expected to pay us to those bands when our knowledge increases. The one thing we don't have is enough time to effectively skill people up past a certain point. If you can spare the time, you basically will get promoted. We also have a lovely flex time system - work whenever between 7-6:30 as long as you hit 36 hours a week over 3 months, never heard of any pressure to come in early or anything like that with it either.

You have the freedom to do so. Start your own hosting site or learn to code. Nexus doesn't have to host shit they want to. Stop being a bitch and forcing those to do what you want.

The crazy thing is that in TES, people don't know what a UI element is and we can hide it from the NPCs. Everyone wins. Most games don't directly feature bigotry in their content, certainly not TES, so there's no real reason not to include such ab thing.

Noones forcing anyone. The creator can upload the mod elsewhere. Nexus doesn't subscribe to bigotry and won't platform it.

If you don't like it go start your mods4bigots site, then you can upload anything you want to suit your "tastes".

I kind of feel this is false. Not only has there been advisory bodies and committees in the past regarding other issues, but all the detail you need is in the constitutional amendment.

  1. there shall be a body, to be called the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Voice;
  2. the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Voice may make representations to the Parliament and the Executive Government of the Commonwealth on matters relating to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples;
  3. the Parliament shall, subject to this Constitution, have power to make laws with respect to matters relating to the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Voice, including its composition, functions, powers and procedures.

The biggest concern that No has is some sort of High Court challenge in which the Voice could be allowed some sort of enumerated legislative capacity, the second is that it could provide "cover" to a government to introduce bills.

The first one is explicitly denied in the amendment; Government has the ability to make laws subject to the current constitution, and retains all ability to make laws regarding the composition and powers of the Voice. There's a potential that a High Court ruling could one day decide on such things as minimum standards for composition (such as being composed of Aboriginals) and representation (can't force them to fax only documents).

The second is true, but ignores the 10s of major think tanks, the media, public opinion and reactions, foreign representations and every other excuse under the sun a politician can use as cover for their decisions.

A lot has been said about lack of detail, but the important thing is looking at the constitutional amendment, all the cards are in Parliament's hands. If the Liberals think the Voice as it stands is bad, all they need is a simple majority to change the composition etc. Truly, they think a voice is a bad deal entirely.
