It can't be done.

Oooh yeah, according to Choice, only the kids sunscreen was 50+

But Cancer Council are running an independent test on their line. What do you think when two organizations you trust say different things?

Then there’s what they’re replacing that with, which is dedicated tablets that sit in the trolley.

I have never seen this. I've just got the app on the phone.

So I've volunteered to spend the night overseeing an unknown number of kids on music camp.

*Numbers may change dependent on enrollment

Overnight stay in dorm room with year 5/6 boys from xxxxxxxxxxxxxx primary

Now that I'm staring at the email and imaging what this is going to entail, I can see why they struggle to find parents willing to do it. I think I need to accept that I'm going to get five hours sleep that night if I'm lucky. Set aside time on the Sunday for a good nap.

I clicked the article, expecting my jimmies to be rustled.

Offences covered by the legislation will include assaults, stealing and robbery, property damage, dangerous and reckless driving, racial harassment, inciting racial hatred and depictions of Nazi symbols and salutes.

I ... have no issues with that. Morons filming themselves driving 200km/h down the road are one of my pet peeves. You're not cool idiot, you're risking the lives of dozens of people in an attempt to seek approval.

Why the hell would you do that? Who's going to risk dealing with police and spending a day in court over some $5 item?

Even if you play the "whoops must have forgotten that" card and they believe you, you'll be put onto the "Check this shopper every time" list and negate the entire advantage of the scheme.

Hard disagree. It's awesome with a full shop. Scan item, put in trolley. Repeat 40-50 times. Then, tap a couple of buttons on my phone, scan a QR code at the gate and just leave. No hassle with checkouts - even self checkouts. The only bit that slows me down is putting fruit & vegies on the scale, but I get most of those elsewhere, so it isn't too terrible.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 3 days ago

The Aldis in WA have self checkouts. But they've only been introduced over the past couple of years. Maybe it's the same nationally? Worth another visit to see?

They're pretty good ones, too - the bagging area holds four bags - which is sometimes enough for the whole shop. I don't much love their camera right in your face, though.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 3 days ago

I also got picked out for a random check a few times when I first started using it. After passing that process a few times, you seem to be trusted. I haven't been picked out in years, now.

Hrm. I would also be annoyed except my store is one of the ones keeping it. I have however used the service at stores that are dropping it. I'm surprised Woolies didn't even give me a courtesy heads-up.

I wonder what the issue with the programme is? Too much shoplifting in some stores? Not enough uptake?
If it's uptake, that's on Woolies. There is almost zero material explaining the system and its advantages. They've done an awful job of marketing it.

Fresh donuts! I have not found a decent fresh jam donut in Perth. The closest I have found didn't have jam and were like $4ea.

I miss the Preston Market.

We had a couple of reports today of vote manipulation happening in the Australia community. After investigating, I'm seeing a trend:

https://aussie.zone/post/21124048
https://aussie.zone/post/21194319
https://aussie.zone/post/21130833

The votes in all these posts look like this. In this example, only two of the downvotes look legitimate. The rest are coming from three instances that don't appear to be real Lemmy sites. One of them doesn't even resolve.

Wow this dude has had a fall from grace. Police have reviewed his dashcam and well, he had a bit of a night of it.

Feeling a bit bad for the Uber driver. The doctor killed his passenger, but hospitalised the driver with injuries he'll carry for life and put him out of work/income for who knows how long. The article doesn't even mention him.

Anonymous survey from the people behind Vote Compass. They're interested in hearing from people about how and why they voted.

To confused people exploring from all Communities trying to understand what the hell is going on:

  • Bethesda is a game studio who does a decent job of giving people choice to do/be whatever they want in their games. Out of the box they included the option to choose your pronouns in a new game called "Starfield".
  • They also make it possible to modify their games to make very drastic changes to the player experience.
  • Nexus is a site that hosts thousands of mods to all sorts of games. People make mods, upload them to Nexus and players download them.
  • Someone made a mod to remove the option to choose pronouns from Starfield.
  • Nexus decided they don't want to host this mod. It's hurtful to people and goes against their values of inclusivity.

That's about it. Most of the people whinging about censorship don't even play the game. They're just here to whinge about how the world is moving on from old bigoted ways and they want to stay in the past and be jerks to people for merely existing. If they actually cared, they'd just download the mod from some other site. The mod itself is probably not much bigger than this reply.
