Bloody hell, been a while since Iโ€™ve seen someone get ratioโ€™d that hard.

I refuse to engage, clearly a public shaming kink, etc.

This is basically that scene from Whiskey Tango Foxtrot where a commander chews out a bunch of overly gung-ho troops for using a Javelin to blow up a technical with like 2 dudes in it.

Incredibly wasteful and over the top way to not release the Epstein files, etc.

The new Bluey game is good, has 23,000+ positive ratings on the App Store, and a sensible premium price model.

Great that the work went to an Aus developer, but you gotta wonder how much revenue went to the BBC for licensing, and the US publisher for distribution.

If only Australia... owned Bluey?

Send Voyager again. Danny Estrinโ€™s also been through a big cancer survival story in the last 3 years and also still has fabulous hair, but his music doesnโ€™t sound like boring high school drama shit. Brave brave Danny!

Like, this was just sitting around for a couple of afternoons playing around with it on an iPad making a figure of one of my D&D characters. Must get around to actually rigging it so I can pose the thing and print off some minis.

Itโ€™s the best, man! I loooove it.

Huge flexibility and just likeโ€ฆ disgustingly fast and powerful? On a tablet?! I can sculpt stuff and be cosy?!?!?

Great digital sculpt to asset pipeline if you combine it with cosyblanket for retopo work.

Jesus tapdancing Christ, the Pinto was such an infamous deathtrap we had to study it in undergrad engineering in Australia, where it had never been sold.

I knew the cyberwanktank was an abomination of shit design but this is egregious.

Brilliant show. The dynamic between Bullock and Swearengen as not quite exactly enemies and never really allies hasnt yet been matched in anything else Iโ€™ve seen. Amazing acting from the whole ensemble.

Only bummer is the rushed and sudden ambiguous ending. Dangit, HBO.

Consultant culture and the rise of โ€œprofessional servicesโ€ sourced VCs and administrators has managed to completely choke Aussie universities over the last 25 years. Turf the lot of them.

Why do the media treat rising wages as dangerous โ€” but $200m sponsorships arenโ€™t? Perhaps the most screwed aspect of how the media covers economics and business is how profits and business expenses are written about as though they are glorious things with no losers, while wages gro...

A report that Comm Bank is spending $200m on sponsoring the Olympics. My post on how isn't it weird how such things are never reported as something that will cause fees/prices to rise, but a wage increase?? Horrors!!

Fun fact, tiny little NAND flash ram modules will absolutely be affected by fab reassignment and theyโ€™re in *everything*. Microwaves, TV remotes, computer mice, radios, various car components, every damn smart device in existence is about to get absolutely buggered by production shortage.
