A British couple died from carbon monoxide poisoning while on holiday at a luxury resort in Egypt after the room next door was sprayed with pesticide to kill bed bugs, a coroner has found.

On the whole, they're used to East Asian health professionals, and some even deliberately seek East Asian doctors.
They do NOT like South East Asian HCWs, but will tolerate it. There are regular requests in community groups for an 'Australian' doctor, and whilst there is plenty of pushback from commenters about what makes a doctor Australian, they tend to say they have issues with the accent (not overly unwarranted, I have an Australian accent but can speak fast, and this is probably the most common feedback I get).
There are a bigoted few who will actually refuse to see Aboriginal clinicians.
Quince and cheese on crackers is a common thing, so jam cheese and bread just seems normal to me too...
Some of the cables need to be longer to not have that effect where they're being pulled against their own weight.

Well we're fucked, aren't we?
Upvoted because Euro(vision) :V
Statistically, how did the pink batt scheme fall short of your expectations/hopes?
Preorder for mk in AUD is $114, fortunately. 😅
...still fucking steep.
So apparently this is 100% a thing with expensive camera lenses. Different markets will get different quality lenses despite the model being marked as the same.
It's also why I won't buy clothing from US based outlets, as the brands have been known to explicitly manufacture lower quality product to sell at outlets. That said, the only time this actually comes up for me (being an Australian), is that I won't buy big brand clothing at Costco.
Yes, dog liver contains way too much vitamin A.
Most of the common ones now do wireless streaming from the PC for PCVR. But yes, for PCVR games you will still need a PC to run it. There are some VR headsets that are capable of running some games on it without a connected PC, like my Quest 2 can run Superhot or BeatSaber etc.
The fit site release has a mod included for flat screen mode.
Call a podiatrist.
I bought a StinkyBoard thinking I would be so productive... I was not. Perhaps I'm not being imaginative enough with its use. 😅
Oh beer bread! I did that for a fun test back in 2020. Don't necessarily have to use packet mix, you can DIY a fair bit for sure.
Oh that's cheeky. China has control of the current Panchen Lama, don't they?
Violence isn't the answer, it's the question. And the answer is yes.
Even in Australia, the current joke is: "You never see kids on bikes anymore, it's just crackheads!"
(Lots of the kids have scooters now... Either push scooters or escooters)
When someone says it's quiet at work, suddenly all these emergencies come in...
There's a reason guns were called the great equalizer.
Nitro Deck Plus and TCL NXTWear S XR
Very niche case use, and the only other related post I can find used a different pair of glasses.
Mine unfortunately can't just be plugged straight into the Nitro Deck+, but needs to have the included USB c to HDMI, then a powered HDMI to USB C adapter. It works fine (with audio) at that point.
The powered HDMI to USB C adapter I used was this one: https://amzn.asia/d/90FQYfo
I'm ordering a USB C splitter cable and hopefully that will reduce the number of cables needed.
Hope this helps anyone else who happened to have this specific issue. 😅
Opening Garage Door Options
I figure I might as well post some stuff to the Fediverse.
I have a Meross MSG100 to add "smart" connectivity to my otherwise dumb powered garage door. To my pleasant surprise, Meross can be hooked up to Samsung SmartThings, and you can set a routine for when you arrive within a certain radius of home (100m is the smallest), it can then open the garage door. It can even be set to note if you've been gone long enough (I have mine set to 10 minutes).
For more precise location detection, you have to do a little finangling to get it to be hooked up to the Modes and Routines app where you can then also set a location setting that includes connecting to your home wifi.
The finangling involves setting up a virtual switch in SmartThings (as garage door openers aren't "supported" by M&R, but a switch is), and having a routine in ST linking the switch's state to the garage door.
If you don't have ST Labs (only available in USA and KR), then you can make a virtual switch using Sams

British anti-trans rights activist issues John Pesutto and leadership team with defamation concerns notices
The British activist has demanded opposition leader John Pesutto and his leadership team apologise and compensate her for false claims made against her.
The context:
The British activist, who also goes by pseudonym Posie Parker, spoke at a "Let Women Speak" event outside Victorian parliament in March that was gatecrashed by neo-Nazis, who joined the anti-trans rights demonstrators and repeatedly performed the Nazi salute.
MP Moira Deeming's involvement in the "Let Women Speak" rally led to her suspension and eventual expulsion from the Liberal party.
