    Hobart climate is pretty close to London and the flats I lived in, mostly converted Georgian row houses, had insulation, double glazing and hydronic radiators. Hobart houses feel like tents. You can feel drafts going through.

    Oh the staff know what their overlords are like. The MD hired the ex HR Head of paragon of employment rights 7-11 who proceeded to stretch "negotiations" out for years by being a prick. All while the MD pretends that it's not him.

    a handy little plot of all Permanent additions over his entire prime ministerial carrier

    This man's primary religion was keeping getting re-elected at all costs. Immigration kept the economy going well, so he was for it. Just didn't talk about it.

    Don’t know what he said about Asians but I’ve heard one in three Chinese at university is a spy either by choice or coercion.

    Howard dying will be a great day.

    Both these problems are resolved for the safe injecting room. There's agreement with the cops to not bust users entering and leaving. And liability can be limited to what you can control.

    Focus using smartphone

    I'm recording some face-to-camera videos with a Google Pixel 6 through a cheap Ali Express teleprompter but I'm having a hard time getting good decent focus on my face. I've tried using a printed focus target taped up at the same distance as my face but evidently the sweet spot of my focus is way narrower than that. Any suggestions? Any Android apps that can automatically keep a face in focus perhaps?

    These are wreckers. They didn't engage with the extensive, inclusive process that came up with the path forward.

    Voice. Treaty. Truth.

    In that order. "More" is explicitly required and this is the first step.

    You mean Adrian? He's an odd duck and I wouldn't take his choices at this level as anything other than some obscure tiny performance improvement.

    My issue with RPM is even the official packages didn't put files where the standard they wrote said. Admittedly I haven't used an RPM distro in 20 years so it's possible things have changed.
