Fair call. Both major parties need to lift their game!

Question time has always been a spectacle demonstrating just how badly our elected officials can behave and I'm glad someone is calling it out. Of course, it should come as no surprise as to which party is the worst:

Figures provided by the Speaker’s office show there have been 198 ejections during the 47th parliament as of Tuesday 20 August. Of those, a Guardian Australia analysis shows 161 have been Coalition members, 36 Labor and one from the Greens.

Well, they didn't want to be part of society, so they shouldn't be surprised when they don't get to participate...

If you're happy with OpenDNS logging your traffic, you could set the router to use them as the DNS server (assuming your network is DHCP and your father-in-law's devices just use whatever DNS server your router says). As long as one of your devices keeps OpenDNS updated with your IP (the one provided by your ISP), then you can look through the traffic to see what is being accessed (and even enabling category content blocking if you wish). Of course, if your father-in-law is IT savvy, he'll just manually set the DNS server on his devices.

The crew should come back on the Dragon and Boeing be required to solve the problems and carry out another test flight. It is unacceptable that Boeing wants to bring the astronauts back without understanding some of the failures on the Starliner.

Can't see Kirk ever giving in to the dark side, but Sisko or Janeway...

Well, of course.

There's some relevant commentary on the Jaws 3 release at blu-ray.com, particularly about its use of AI in upscaling (it's not pretty):

As someone who has inherited code like that, I would like to strangle the first programmer in the comic.

It's way better than nothing and (last I saw) was still quite effective at preventing hospitalisation and severe disease, but definitely suffers a significant drop in preventing infection and symptomatic illness.

Egon Spengler and his grand-daughter Phoebe from the Ghostbusters franchise. The character of Ray Stanz also has some traits, no doubt assisted by the fact that actor Dan Ackroyd is autistic.
