"But he warned people should not have highly sensitive conversations in their cars or near their phones, given foreign governments’ ability to listen in."

The thing he didn't say out loud is that the same warning applies to our own governments abilities to listen in lol

    I never understood the Baby Bonus as a financial incentive. I understand people wanting kids, just not how the Baby Bonus would change anyone's choice.

    The bonus was something like $5K? But doesn't raising a kid cost hundreds of thousands of dollars over 16 to 18 years? From a financial perspective, that would have to be one of the stupidest deals of all time. $5K is two-fifths of fuck all in comparison.

    And somehow, it seemed to work, and birth rates increased.

    I just don't get it.

    "And that's why today I'm signing into law the Trump Nuclear Act. Some say it's the greatest law of all time. Very smart people, even smarter AI. Elon tells me this will save billions, and I'm going to increase my dividend, let's call it the 'Nucular Peace Dividend' to honor Bush, I don't remember which one used to say 'Nucular', but I always liked that guy, and it made me think up how to say Chayyyyna.

    CNN get out!"

    Can Australians trust the labels on the food they buy?

    First of a two part investigation.

    I'm expecting major shenanigans to be uncovered.

    Airing tonight on our ABC at 8:30pm eastern, and will be available via iView after.

    Do yourself a favour, and catch Media Watch after it. You'll find out what media BS you've been caught out believing!

     

    idk, I kinda expected a bot to be machine like, regular, predictable and couldn't be stopped and would go on forever.

    You know, like the Terminator.

    But sydbot hasn't posted anything for 2 months.

    Not sure it matters, but I'd like to know that sydbot is safe and happy.

    Poor bloke! (thelemmy.club)

    It's absolutely pissing down here right now, and I noticed this little fella sitting on a ledge outside a window trying to get out of the rain.

    I've never seen any bird try and shelter there before, but am doing my best to not disturb him.

    Hope the eaves and ledge give him some protection and he can stay safe.

    Update: The rain has stopped, and my little friendly shadow has gone. All the birds are going mental! The cockies sound furious!
