Huh, that's close to one of Melbourne's older tram stop designs (slowly being phased out and replaced with accessible platform stops).

Letters, punctuation, and spaces are just about the only ASCII in that art.

"Having carefully considered all these matters, we are unanimously of the opinion that the evidence was sufficiently cogent to support the findings that the appellant murdered four Afghan men and to the extent that we have discerned error in the reasons of the primary judge, the errors were inconsequential," an executive summary from the court said.

 

At a busy inner-city Canberra polling booth, a man confronted the incumbent finance minister with accusations of genocide.

Labor ACT senate candidate Katy Gallagher was leaving the Lyneham Public School polling booth when she was approached by James Godfrey, spokesperson for pro-Palestinian group Freedom Flotilla Coalition.

"You're a minister in this government and you're doing nothing," Mr Godfrey yells at Senator Gallagher.

"Palestinians in Gaza are being starved at the moment.

"Sixty days plus of no food, no water, no medicines and no fuel and your government is complicit in this genocide."

Mr Godfrey says a Freedom Flotilla ship carrying aid bound for Gaza was recently attacked by drones.

"Our ship's been attacked in international waters off the east coast of Malta," he tells reporters afterward.

"There's been fires on board, and we're trying to transport humanitarian aid to Gaza and the Australian government won't speak out against it."

Ugh, so much AI generated slop starting to fill up Bandcamp. Enshittification launch countdown is almost complete, I fear...

There's excellent music on there and if you buy stuff from a trusted artist it's a good deal for them, but as a discovery platform it's becoming a dead-internet failure.

You're all still suckling at the opium teat of corporate media, whether via torrent or not.

The replacement battery you bought in 2017 was the last of the genuine stock for that 2012 Thinkpad model. Now it's only poor quality aftermarket. Maybe just stick with the existing genuine battery -- its 47 second runtime should be enough time for AC loss to trigger a custom script to make it hibernate.

LoL, blue shirt has no persistence. Anger and giving up gets you nowhere.

Tl;dr: TSMC

 

..And you can imagine the job discrimination as an adult if you don't drive.

 

Of course, the real story here is how the elderly (and everyone else) are fucked over by car dependency and its associated suburban sprawl, shit public transport, and unwalkable neighbourhoods.

Don't do it. Alkalines are all shit now and will leak all over your electronics.

Get some decent NiMH.
