Had more eggs than I thought, so decided to make a crustless quiche. Roast sweet potato, garlic, solano tomato, mushroom, rocket, onion, cheddar & blue cheese.

A cooking rectangular ceramic dish in an oven, the surface of the item being cooked is golden-brown, with bits of rocket and tomato visible.

@mojo @timrichards Of course, since the federal ALP doesn't want to do any of those things, they cede the narrative, and One Nation gets to say "too many people, not enough houses, our policy is less people", and appear to have *a* plan to fix the problem, rather than the ALP's policy of sounding like the adults in Charlie Brown *waah* *waah* *woah* *waahwaah*.

@timrichards It was in the sunshine coast hinterland, but probably better not to name specifics ;)

@timrichards one of the main reasons I *nope*d on a property we were looking at recently - small town and far too many Australian flags (every 5th-10th house). Creepy AF.

@dnanian Do you ever have an idea of what the purpose of these sort of attacks is? Is it an attack designed to be an attack, or is it more a scale disparity by something(s) large trying to (aggressively) read your site?

About the only industries has any "leadership" in, are , and .

Unsurprisingly, they're both environmentally destructive, offer no unique benefits to make up for their downsides, and have to be forced on people through compromised safety legislation. Pretty much the only argument in favour of them, is "people invested in this (be it money, or educational years), therefore they have a right to a return".

@elronxenu
@phillboyack Well, Stiglitz basically said exactly this on the latest episode; a land speculator shouldn't be taxed less than a worker on the income earned from the respective activities, so at least I feel like I'm not taking crazy pills.

Wherever gather together online, to freely exchange ideas as a community, there you will find the worst of humanity. It's in their nature.

@halcyon Apologies, it's something I ask when I see people post interesting apps, that exist as single windows; effectively iPad screens. Very few modern macOS developers seem to know how to, or care to consider, implementing settings / inspectors as a tear-off palette (the way all apps, including iWork used to be). For example, if you wanted to move the settings to a different screen, to maximise the main window space on a primary monitor, while not in full-screen mode.

@halcyon extra credit assignment, can you implement the settings as a tear-off palette?

@corduroy The article makes pretty clear - they couldn't find a public surgeon soon enough, within a distance they could reach.

"the Bendigo couple felt their only option was the private system because of a shortage of shoulder specialists in their area"

Having had to travel from the Sunshine Coast to Brisbane to see the closest public hand surgeon, yeah that tracks perfectly with regional medical experiences.

requires you to know the specific degrees (that it uses) that corresponds to the rotation (and that it's clockwise) you want to apply to a display. just shows an iconised image of the monitor, with its stand to indicate its orientation.

A screenshot of KDE Plasma's display rotation control, showing simple display outline drawings, with a stand line to indicate which is the bottom side of the display, and communicate the display's orientation.

@phillboyack @elronxenu Yeah, I guess it's just another of those things like supply-side / trickledown; it has a theory, but the theory is complete rubbish?

If anything, investment income should be taxed more highly, because its earning is almost entirely non-productive, and encouraging productivity would generally be the rationale for most economic programmes. (2/2)

@elronxenu Right, but what I'm looking for is an economics theory explanation for why. Clearly, as it exists, the policy is a "fuck you, I got mine" pig trough for people who are rich enough to do investing. But beyond one set of rules for the rich, and one for the poor, and the naked greed, how do you justify a share trader, or a land speculator paying less tax for their use of their economic time, Vs. that of a person who does work. (1/2)

@AvonVilla @elronxenu It doesn't just apply to houses, though, does it?
