I hate how soy has been used by bigots as an insult. Soy products are bloody delicious!

This week has been pretty bad. I'm mostly allergic to grass pollen, not so much trees. So if you're also a grass person, I feel you.

Been there, done that, good money, killed my mental health and relationships.

I'm not saying don't do it, just make sure you can recognise the symptoms when it starts affecting other areas of your life.

The whole Gayaneh suite is criminally underappreciated (compared to, say, his masquerade suite). Apparently as a kid I was always mesmerised by the sabre dance movement, but didn't appreciate the rest until much later in life.

That is good life advice.

I hammered into my elderly parents that if they ever get a call/text from their "bank", "tax department", "insurance", or literally anything - ask for a case number and hang up. Then call the number listed on the official website.

Now they're telling everyone they know about it. Good on them.

Damned if you do, danmed if you don't, double damned if you sit on the fence.

The Greens say the government should have voted for a ceasefire.

Dutton said Australia should have instead backed Israel and the United States by rejecting the motion entirely.

(oversimplified) they are "interconnected" just like emails are interconnected. I can log into Gmail and send an email to someone else at Hotmail. But I can't actually use Gmail credentials to log into Hotmail.

In the 'verse, "Federation" means every instance (I'm on aussie.zone) holds a copy of every other instance (I can see your post without ever visiting lemm.ee). This reply I'm posting is held in my instance, and a copy is sent to yours (and the whole Federation will also hold a copy and be able to see my comment).

If lemm.ee shuts down tomorrow, this conversation we're having will remain to exist in the thousands of other instances that are federated with lemm.ee today.

And for those skeptics like me who think a single random unsourced screenshot is the worst place to get your information from, here's the Edmunds article.

What's worse is that I don't know what qualifies as a "business day". Would this Friday count as a business day in Victoria? (especially when the BSB is pointing to a local branch id)

The thing that allows near-instant transfers is NPP (New Payment Platform). PayID is built on top of it, but there are banks on the NPP that haven't enabled the PayID feature.

For transfers to happen instantly requires you to initiate the transfer electronically, both sender & receiver banks need to be on the NPP, and the amount transferred is below a limit set by your bank (usually $5k?).

Otherwise it's the usual slow transfer. Either next business day, or two, depending on what time you make the transfer.. A Thursday evening transfer may arrive Monday morning if you're unlucky.

It's literally the only result if you search for "organic"

Yeah this is nothing new at all. Society has been conditioning women around the world to some arbitrary standard of "beauty" for millennia. The same conditioning has the same effect in machine learning. Well, duh.
