It should go without saying that this was done by loving carers who had the best interests of the animal in question at heart, not coloured by anything crass such as financial considerations - yet here I am.

There are lions at Monarto, a short trip up the freeway and I've heard the question of why she wasn't taken there?
Because the pride would probably have killed her.

She was old, she would have refused to eat, then she'd become weak, then she'd get sick and then she'd have suffered until she died.
The keepers made a call, and as much as people might call this callous, others would have called them out if Amani was allowed to suffer for the following 3 months.

If you "vibe code" your way through trial and error to an app, it may work.
But if you don't understand what it's doing, why it's doing it and how it's doing it?
Then you can't (easily) maintain it.
If you can't fix bugs or add features, you don't have a saleable product - you have a proof of concept.

AI tools are useful, but letting the tool do all the driving is asking for the metaphorical car to crash.

The CEO of Vow, George Peppou, is taking a very different approach from these competitors. Rather than asking customers to pay $71 a kg for frozen shredded “chicken”, he says the company is embracing the high cost of cultivating cells by creating products to match the price.

“We selected going with these very high end products, very high end positioning … as a way of trying to shape and influence food culture as much as possible,” he says. While foie gras prices fluctuate significantly, at the time of writing Vow’s Forged foie was cheaper than the real deal.

I like this, just like how Tesla's first release was a roadster - it's not supposed to replace a Camry, why make a Camry with half the range and 4 times the price?
Start at the expensive end, match the quality and then work down.

About 200 Australians have money.
Almost a quarter of it.

I've read that enough youth are just taking the surcharge and loading on the chin that insurers have started to worry.

I'm not young, but I'm doing this.
My tiny ideological stand.

Me: Hi, I need some high quality components, you know better than office stuff, and I'm willing to pay a premium. Company: Great, we have a huge range. And as a bonus we've covered EVERYTHING in LEDs! Me: Err, can I get the good mechanical switches and silent fans without LEDs? Company: Ooh, that's a SPECIAL item! 3x the price!

The concept of direct brain interface is both exciting and terrifying.
We struggle to secure offline systems against determined attack, and my brain is not a test bed.

Back in 1909 The Protectionist Party and Anti-Socialist Party put aside their differences to take on the Labor party, which was seen as Socialist.
The founders wanted freedom (Liberty) from what they saw as Labour Union dominion.

Funnily enough, an actual Libertarian party has since popped up and the Liberals challenged their name with the AEC, which as I said is funny because the Electoral Commision correctly pointed out that if ANYBODY has an incorrect name, it's the Liberals.

I can't read it any more either.
Paper Tiger had a kitchen fire a few days ago and will be temporarily shutting down according to their Instagram.
Now B'Churrasco has had a fire.

It needs to be mandated that if you own a rental, it will have a battery and solar setup of a minimum size.
Otherwise renters are a key demographic that will miss out on this.

8 guys on 4 dirtbikes can scatter when a drone starts swooping.
The lada only scatters AFTER the drone hits it.

 

This is just a backdoor way to tie real names to online accounts.

Someone think of the children! /s

So, show me a photo of your driver's licence to prove you aren't one.

 

The defence firm building frigates and nuclear-powered submarines in Adelaide in multi-billion dollar projects, BAE Systems Australia, will establish at head office at Lot Fourteen. About 500 workers will move to the North Tce site as a cornerstone tenant in the precinct’s Innovation Centre.

Premier Peter Malinauskas on Monday unveiled plans for a new Innovation Centre, with three state and federal government projects totalling $100m joining BAE. These include a $60m Australian Defence Technologies Academy, $20m Innovation Hub and $20m Space Assembly Integration and Testing facility. “BAE basing its headquarters at Lot Fourteen, alongside universities, the Defence Technologies Academy, Innovation Hub, space industry and other innovative businesses makes perfect sense. “Our innovation places are key to achieving our ambitions. It is about taking the lead to establish and nurture the right environments that foster collaboration and drive economic complexity, creating new, highly skilled jobs.”

BAE Systems Australia chief executive Craig Lockhart said the headquarters at Lot Fourteen would complement the company’s other SA operations at Osborne and Edinburgh Parks. “Over the next 12 months we expect to recruit 800 new employees across our operations, and Lot Fourteen is a key enabler to achieving our growth ambitions,” he said. “As we continue to grow in South Australia and find ways to enhance employee attraction and retention, it’s important we offer a workspace that inspires our teams, fosters creativity and creates spaces for our employees to thrive.”
