@FXFBSdu @ausvstheagenda Most of my fellow defence and veterans don’t like Albo. My cop mates aren’t big fans of him either. I think it’s why they’re trying to demoralise defence by going after BRS. They can try giving those orders to attack Australians. See how it works out for them.

@nozryc @ausvstheagenda The govt has guns......we don't

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese says he appreciates that small business owners spent all week making Ai memes about him taking 47% of their capital gains, but he’s not going to change his mind.

Funny to see Scandinavian countries get brought up. They’ve been good about providing those services to citizens. Not everyone that enters the country. They’ve generally been fairly strict on who enters and has access to them to. Now Sweden is getting rammed with migration, increased bombings and crime, they just had a protest about migrants entering one town. The only country in that area that seems to be going well is Switzerland. Which still has a lower tax rate than Australia and provides better public services. They’re strict about who enters the country. So it’s not easy to get those benefits. They’re also not a part of the EU. And they have frequent referendums to vote on issues. If you’re advocating for the Swiss model then yeah I’m all for it.

@AvidCommentator The Laffer Curve apparently hasn't visited Scandinavia.

The main conclusion I have come to assessing the capital gains tax regimes of 8 nations vs Australia's new proposed system.... Australia is going to get smashed by the Laffer curve.

@Matt_Camenzuli @Cribbertarian @abcnews I’ve muted MSM accounts. It’s biased opinion pieces. Rarely ever anything that’s news.

This is disappointing. The ABC is supposed to be unbiased. A service for all Australians. The political conversation is here. Bluesky is a bit of an ideological echo chamber. It might be their safe space, but hiding in plain sight is not their job. Post on X @abcnews.

@SBakerMD I thought this was the same thing?

Don’t let your kids become fat or vegan

@ryanrhughes I’ve got sennheiser ie300 had them for a few years, I can’t stand over ear headphones, they get hot and uncomfortable after a while. Almost went down the path of buying more, glad I didn’t, they’re expensive

It's been 10+ years since I used a pair of IEMs. I'd forgotten just how good they are! I recently took a trip and forgot to bring any headphones so I did the sensible thing; watched a dozen review videos and overnighted a pair of the Softears Volume S. I rotate between Sony XM6 and Technics AZ80 for in-ear normally and these are just so much better. Sound better, far lighter, actually stay in my ears, etc. As much as I loathe cables, I may have to just get over that and continue down this IEM path.

@TheKouk You cannot simply have free immigration and a welfare state. - Milton Friedman.

I get it - people hate paying tax: I don't get it - they love Medicare, aged care, child care, the health system, air traffic controllers, the defence of Australia's borders, fire fighters, police, cheap scripts, free schools, the ABC, pensions for the elderly, trading the govt bond market & roads, to name a few.

@franco_esca Good work, but as others have said. Lower the weight, unless you have some knee/hip issues try and go lower. Good work getting moving and being in the gym though

Les comparto mi pequeño logro Primera vez en media sentadilla con 4 platos, entiendo que no es mucho, ¡pero a los 45 años es trabajo honesto!

Difference is that windows has all the background services that just start ramping up sitting on the desktop. When I swapped to Linux the random ramp up stopped. Power efficiency is much better, and things are snappier. Apple implements it but they’ve also focused so much on the software side. Windows are using this as a bandaid fix.

Microsoft VP fires back at Windows 11's new speed trick critics: "Apple does this and you love it." Windows 11’s hidden Low Latency Profile is getting dragged online, but the criticism misses the point. Windows Latest has tested the Low Latency Profile, and it truly works. When you open the Start menu, a menu, or an app, Windows briefly boosts the CPU for 1–3 seconds so the task finishes faster. On budget PCs, that can make the whole OS feel much snappier. Some users called it a “band-aid,” but Microsoft's Scott Hanselman pushed back and explained that macOS and Linux already do similar things. Modern systems boost CPU speed for interactive tasks because responsiveness matters. "Let Windows cook," Microsoft's legendary dev Scott Hanselman argues in defense of Windows 11's upcoming feature. Of course, Windows 11 needs to be optimized at the code level, but the answer is not “don’t boost the CPU.” Microsoft needs to do the best of both worlds. That means it needs to optimize the code, reduce bloat, and use modern scheduling tricks to make Windows feel fast again.

I would have thought the same thing as what a lot of others are saying, but one of my closest mates had an accident and is now a quadriplegic. This guy is as well, you can tell by his limited hand function. Most people think of Christopher Reeves when they think of a quad, but this guy is just a “higher functioning” quad

When you think you're having a hard time reminder that someone always has it harder.

@Neogears1312 @ProphetOfKek117 I ain’t reading all that. Happy for you, or sorry for your loss.

@ProphetOfKek117 The terms sesquipedalian. An ironically way too long word.

This is literally how it feels to interact with a leftist when talking about media

@TheZenomHayab @historyinmemes Today it’s YouTube content

Three men convinced they're Jesus get locked in a room by doctors who just... wanted to see what happened? This experiment is peak old psychiatry cruelty dressed as science, like they expected one of them to just go "oh you're Jesus too, my bad" and snap out of it. The Ypsilanti study shows how broken the system was handling real human suffering.

The Three Christs of Ypsilanti was a controversial psychiatric experiment in which three men with schizophrenia—each convinced he was Jesus Christ—were brought together and encouraged to confront one another’s competing delusions.

@Alan_Couzens I've changed my approach with running for endurance. I'll use a run/walk method for that majority of my runs. Then the rest of my long endurance work is done on machines. My strength is still going up, and my runs are getting faster.

I cannot lie, running with a BMI of ~21 is much more enjoyable than running with a BMI of 24. If you have a few extra lbs to lose, would recommend.

@SandyofCthulhu Should do a video on this @shadmbrooks ?

Spears are the best melee weapon ever, and they weren't even invented by Homo sapiens. We inherited them from earlier hominids. With a spear, a human can take on a lion or a cave bear with a fair chance of success. Remember the 100 men vs. 1 gorilla challenge? How many men would you need if they could carry spears? Two? One? Lindybeige on YouTube has a video titled "Spears are better than swords (longer version)" in which he performs an experiment. He has a bunch of men who have never used spears fight a group of guys who have sword skills. The spears win and win and win. Yes it's possible for a man skilled with a sword or an axe or something to beat a guy with a spear. And shields can play a role. But swords were originally back-up weapons for if you lost your spear. Spears are what made us top of the heap in nature, and any discussion of which animals would beat us in hand-to-hand should take spears into account, because from the day the first Homo sapiens walked the earth, we've ALWAYS had spears.

@Stestreamsutin @JayzTwoCents You’d probably be fine with an Intel CPU with an iGPU. It’s probably more than good enough for transcoding. I think you’d only be better to get a GPU if you need local ai

@JayzTwoCents I'm thinking of buying an intel gpu for a jellyfin server is this a bad idea now ?

Intel Cancels Future Gaming GPUs... what does this mean for the industry? youtu.be/3Gj1stcSckU?si…

@DavidShoebridge David you need to serve some time first before you're making these ignorant statements. You clearly have no understanding of anything defence, yet you're so confident to be critical of everything defence.

This is what AUKUS looks like in practice - we do what Trump and the US tells us meaning a total loss of sovereignty

@johnkonrad Oof

Ryan is correct. I'm just a retired ship captain. Nobody important outside a maritime niche. Yet this post smells like stolen valor. Let me explain… Stoicism without the battlefield, the sea & real pain is hollow. The Stoics talked constantly about battles, ships, storms & warriors, because they understood reality is not a TED stage. "Be like the promontory against which the waves continually break, but it stands firm and tames the fury of the water around it." Marcus Aurelius, Meditations Aurelius wrote that on campaign. He was an emperor commanding legions on the Danube frontier. Seneca opened his veins on Nero's order. Epictetus was sold in chains. Cato killed himself rather than submit to Caesar. The greatest Stoics earned their philosophy in command, in chains, in war. Ryan flies private and hangs with Tim Ferriss, Matthew McConaughey & NYTimes “influencers”. He knows his words are hallow without military experience. But he was unwilling to pay the price himself, so he stole the prestige. He has posted hundreds of times across his channels about the lectures he gives at the United States Naval Academy. Ask the obvious question: who benefited more from that relationship? The future destroyer captains, Marines, & fighter pilots he lectured? Or Ryan? "I don't think about you at all" is the tell. He didn't go to Annapolis to teach the midshipmen. He went to use them. The military gravitas his philosophy needs in order to mean anything: he doesn't have it. He's never served. He's never gone to sea. He's never carried the weight of command. So he went to Annapolis to be photographed near people who will. Today’s battlefields are the oceans and there are fewer than ten people in the world covering American seapower, sealift, and naval logistics for a large audience. The stuff that actually decides wars. Ryan was personally friends with one of them. Me. Sailed on my boat. Helped sketch his pivot to the Stoics. Never once called with a question about ships, the Navy, or the sea. The wider circle of maritime and military scholars I talk to weekly? Same story. None of them think about him at all. That's not absent-mindedness. That's design. Twenty years ago that might have been forgivable, because the seas were calm. Today the chokepoints are battlefields. The Red Sea. The Taiwan Strait. The Persian Gulf. The midshipmen Ryan lectured are now on the front lines of a world spinning out of control. Their lives depend on the United States understanding seapower again. Ryan contributed nothing to their understanding. He took the photo and left. He didn't want our knowledge. He wanted the credential. The Naval Academy was the prop. He used them to convince NYTimes book reviewers that he has military and nautical cred. Some will say maybe he was trying to help, just didn’t know how. If so he would have asked to see the actual front lines. A USO show on a carrier. A lecture in Djibouti. A passage on a US Merchant Marine ship running the Strait of Hormuz. I could have arranged any of it. But he "doesn't think about me at all." He would rather trade quotes with podcast bros, Hollywood stars, and the New York Times writer who traded Jesus for Ted Lasso. He doesn't care to see a real battlefield or a real storm at sea. His brand of Stoicism isn't built for that. His brand is this: intellectual weed. A way for readers to rationalize tuning out. He and his progressive self-help peers are the opioid of the managerial class. That's not Stoicism. The Stoics ran the Roman Empire and died for their principles. Ryan sells "Memento Mori" to give millennials an excuse to stop stressing about life and travel to safe places. Thinking about real navalists would have meant doing the actual work. The work was never the point. The point was selling Stoicism off a uniform he never wore. He used the United States military to move merch. "I don't think about you at all" is the receipt. It’s either cosplay or stolen valor.

@RyanHoliday Thank you for introducing people to stoicism. Thank you for also being a great role model on how not to practice it.

Lol. Rolling your eyes at the performative philosophy of a member of the most corrupt family in American history is apparently 'fuming'? Although if there was anything to be mad about these days, I think objecting to people lighting the world on fire so they can make a killing in prediction markets and kickbacks is probably it. yahoo.com/entertainment/…

If I were china I’d want to do the same. The less you rely on one supplier then the less points of failure you have. It’s smart for china to build out infrastructure to be able to not have that failure point. While I get Jensen can be annoyed at losing China. It hurts China more to lose Nvidia without an alternative. I think it’s a big reason China pushes open source. They can access to software stacks without having to crack CUDA

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang has shared strong views on US rules that limit chip sales to China. In a recent interview, he said Nvidia now has zero share of the high-end AI chip market there. “In China, we have now dropped to zero,” he said. Huang added that the policy has largely backfired. “Conceding an entire market the size of China probably does not make a lot of strategic sense, so I think that has already largely backfired. Maybe it made sense at the time, but I think the policy really needs to be dynamic and needs to stay with the times.” His words show that China is now spending a lot on its own chips, this has helped local companies grow faster and rely less on American tech. The US rules were made to protect national security, but Huang says they create problems between short-term limits and long-term AI competition.

@Pom_Bazooka @HPWorthington @SpencerAlthouse Who started Google, who started Microsoft? Microsoft now has the nickname “microslop” with how buggy it is.

@HPWorthington @SpencerAlthouse Who runs Google? Who runs Microsoft?

Aziz Ansari just appeared as Kash Patel on SNL, and they went innnnn on him "I'm a trailblazer. I'm the first Indian person to suck at their job. Everyone says Indian people are smart, hardworking, incredibly intelligent. I prove without a shadow of a doubt that we can be just as incapable and incompetent as the whites."
