How many properties are currently affected by this? 6 times the taxes is mentioned, but how much is that per property and in total? It’s odd. This is the second time I’ve seen this story and that relevant information is missing in each one. It reads more like a government press release to make it look like they are doing something but it’s window dressing only. We need structural reform in housing. Not just in Australia, but worldwide. It’s a necessity, not an asset.
“SB 4: Removes regulatory barriers to allow churches, religious organizations and non-profit colleges to build affordable housing on their land.”
Aw, man. Rule of “unintended consequences”.
People want churches to be able to help with the homeless crisis… even odds will get you an explosion of cults with creepy dormitory style arrangements…
@actuallyautistic Once in a while, I wonder what it might've been like to talk to my parents about being Autistic. I doubt it would've been a useful conversation... but I suspect I would've tried to make it more useful by talking about traits and behaviours first, before calling it autism. It would've been interesting to see how much of it they could relate to.
I'm not entirely sure how my dad would've reacted... the few conversations we had as adults felt strained and awkward.
My mom probably would've been confused about why I would think I'm Autistic (just like she was confused about why I thought I needed therapy) but I doubt she would've rejected or doubted the idea. I don't think she'd really accept or acknowledge it either. For her, it'd be more like "Oh, okay, neat... so when can you go to the store for me? I'm out of Tylenol and Diet Coke"
I can see hints of neurodivergence in my memories of both of them. Alas, they both passed long before I discovered I'm Autistic.
@dave@actuallyautistic yeah. My folks were long gone before I'd ever heard of it.
Something interesting, my NT sisters have one story of their childhoods, trauma and whatnot, and they'd never heard of it either, so Dad is an NT villain in theirs - but my life and marriage are the same and I know I wasn't an NT villain, so my Autistic life story is completely at odds with my NT siblings' NT life stories.
Needless to say, they've been shouting their version at me my whole life, and treating me like an NT villain too.

Correctional Psych: Links to 15 Articles on Addressing the Mental Health Needs of Justice-Involved Individuals in Custody & the Community
Psychiatric Services issued the following announcement about a curated collection of articles:
Correctional Psychiatry: Addressing the Mental Health Needs of
Justice-Involved Individuals in Custody and the Community
/Editor’s Choice provides essential curated collections from recent issues of Psychiatric Services/.
The legal aims of the correctional system are to protect the community and to punish, deter, and offer rehabilitation to the offender. These goals may be at odds with the aims of psychiatric providers working in such settings. Consequently, jails and prisons can be challenging settings for the provision of mental health services for patients, providers, and the correctional staff. Even so, encounters with the criminal justice system can create opportunities for individuals with a severe mental illness, a substance use disorder, or both to obtain needed treatment that may otherwise be unavailable or difficult to access or that an individual would not choose to pursue in the community. With the development of diversion models and community-based forensic programs, such patients now have access to unique treatment strategies addressing concomitant legal and mental health needs.
This collection provides an update regarding correctional mental health care. The provision of mental health services within correctional environments continues to pose unique challenges, such as limited access to medications that are readily available in the community. Diversion programs that transition justice-involved individuals with mental illness from traditional criminal justice pathways toward treatment may reduce the burden of severe mental illness within correctional facilities and the risks to patients in such settings. At the same time, patients may be hesitant to engage in systems that they perceive to be coercive or overbearing. Innovations in meeting the mental health needs of incarcerated and justice-involved patients remain vital due to the ongoing high prevalence of mental illness and barriers to care faced by these populations. /Brian Holoyda, M.D., M.P.H./ /Jacqueline Landess, J.D., M.D./ /Lisa B.

This was already fixed in 6.1.66. Both are “old” kernels, so it’s nothing to worry about, unless you/your distro was deliberately staying on 6.1 for some odd reason (yes, I’m aware 6.1 is LTS, but so is 6.6).
TL:DR How long can this streak last ? ( I hope I haven’t jinxed it ! ) ; I never expected the Diagnostic Assessment to be such hard work, it’s worse than applying for a job, it’s worse than applying for a job in a high security location!
Well who’d a thunk - 3 days (nearly) on the trot of a fairly chilled Squirrel!
Up early, but having had a rough night I had a quick chat with my Bestie then went back to sleep.
Had a great NMS co-op session with CDP 🧚♀️ after breakfast, it was so much fun teaching someone else the tricks & bits n bobs, she was worried that I might get bored playing with a noob , but it was enormous fun !
Worked on my ASD assessment self-report form, today, & have started tracking trigger points & behaviour.
Boy am I set in my ways !
It’s weird , many of my routines are deeply based on logic, but are routines nonetheless !
There are 25 pages to this thing! I have until Tuesday afternoon ! (Which is probably why I spent the grand total of about an hour on it today 🙄🤦♂️ )
This afternoon & evening have flown past , the latter part of the day was taken up with catching up with a couple of topical satirical news shows & then Mrs Squirrel & I watched ‘The Creator’ which I can defo recommend to sci-fi fans, some slightly tongue in cheek nods to Star Wars, Blade Runner & Chappie !
Final Thoughts:
I am waiting for the other shoe to drop, it’s all going far too well!
I best get a fecking ASD diagnosis after all this work, I know me and oddly I will probably feel like a complete fraud & stranger still a complete failure if I don’t !
I hope I sleep tonight, I’ve had a few restless nights so far this week & need some decent sleep !
I love sci fi movies 😆
Thanks to all those who are helping me on this journey, in a myriad different ways. I am thankful to each & every one of you ! 🫂 🫶🐿️🖖
China poised to break 5nm barrier — Huawei lists 5nm processor presumably built with SMIC tech, defying U.S. sanctions | Huawei and SMIC quietly rolled out a new Kirin 9000C processor.::Chinese foundry SMIC may have broken the 5nm process barrier, as evidenced by a new Huawei laptop listed with an advanced chip with 5nm...
Thank you for your perspective. Why is this a big IF? Wouldn’t China have seen the writing on the wall years ago? 20-30 years ago that their path was going to put them at odds with western countries? I get that developing new chips takes years, maybe decades, but hasn’t China had that time already? Is is possible that intel provided to western countries such as what the US currently knows of China could be behind to what they are building? The US has done great things in secret, developed a lot of technology under their military resources, is it too hard to believe that China, and maybe others have done the same and have been able to keep it a secret as well? After all, many new technologies could be considered national security. Maybe I’m just naive, dumb, or have been watching too many movies but i find it hard to believe that China has become a super power in many aspects, one of them their intelligence capital, yet western countries are still surprised at what they can achieve or produce.
How is the owner not deprived of your copy? Have you given it back to them? It’s an odd thing to mince over words like “theft” and “stealing.” If it’s the words that bother you, perhaps consider this: should it be permissible to consume a digital good without consent of the copyright holder?
If the copyright holder wants more exposure, that is up to them to decide. It’s absolutely unreasonable to do so on their behalf and claim it’s somehow doing them a favor. With that logic, any form of theft can be legitimized.
Back then, most people didn’t consider it an urgent issue because most people considered it settled law and didn’t really believe it would be overturned. Most people didn’t really consider that the Supreme Court would be compromised to the degree it has.
That perception has changed dramatically, and it’s proven to be a winning issue for Dems. As the next voting cycle ramps up, it will likely be a big campaign point. In order to have any chance at all, though, Dems must gain a solid majority in Congress.
Tesla must respect collective bargaining rights, Norway’s sovereign wealth fund says::U.S. auto maker Tesla Inc should respect fundamental labour rights, including collective bargaining, Norway’s $1.5 trillion sovereign wealth fund, the world’s biggest stock market investor, told Reuters on Friday.
I’m paying 119 SEK/year for the Plus tier, which is the result of a price raise some time ago as well. But I see now that it’s 533 SEK/year all of a sudden for new customers.
Still, that’s not too expensive, honestly. If you need the features, it’s pretty good.
I don’t, so I won’t pay that amount of my account is put on that price point…
I like the new call interface and the animations the calls have. I hate the fact pinned messages are under the “Settings” button for no reason and the fact the threads icon looks odd as hell.

Tesla Cybertruck’s stiff structure, sharp design raise safety concerns - experts::The angular design of Tesla’s Cybertruck has safety experts concerned that the electric pickup truck’s stiff stainless-steel exoskeleton could hurt pedestrians and cyclists.
That seems like an odd reply to my comment about how the safety and other concerns are as much a concern now as they were when the cybertruck was announced.
I guess to answer your question, USA vehicles go through nhtsa.gov certification process that requires a bare minimum safety features and then assesses a star rating for safety, both of which are specific to the class of vehicle in question. However, Early and Late release models do not appear to require NCAP ratings and sometimes trigger recalls such as the 2016 TESLA MODEL X P100D SUV AWD Later Release.
It did make the news when Cybertruck Crash Testing videos were made public 5 days ago, but no rating has been made available online yet.
Man, I just didn’t get Little Inferno. Glad some folks enjoyed it, maybe I just didn’t understand what to do really? Oddly enough, the theme song pops in my head sometimes.
Yeh, it’s crazy right?
This is all just fancy wheels, turned around, odd shaped, made to fit together better.
And the understanding of mathematics, geometry and mechanics makes this massive apparatus of intricately connected pieces - which are relatively easy to understand in isolation - into this thing that can point a gun to be able to hit a moving target.
World War 2 was horrendous. But some of the tech developed is jaw-dropping.
Since then, it’s grown exponentially. We are standing on the shoulders of giants!
Iran sides with anyone who is against the west right now and from their point of view they are completely justified.
Yes and you do realize how that supports my narrative, right?
America bombed one of their Generals without provocation and is actively boycotting them.
See your own comment above for provocation.
America doesn’t give a shit about Ukraine either, they are about to drop them and fuck them over just like they did to the Kurds.
No you, also fuck you for thinking we don’t care. Some of us care too much.
The West has ravaged the middle east and Africa to steal natural resources.
Natural resources that we let the locals control…
All democracies were assassinated to install American puppets in the middle east and French and British ones in Africa. (remember the South African Apartheid???)
Democracies are perpetually at odds with liberal values. I’m not going to discuss the nuances with someone as black and white as you.
What we are seeing in Palestine today is what the west (first mostly Britain and France, now also America) has been doing for a century now.
If you think that’s bad, you should see literally every war ever involving a city.
I'm not conflating anything. Just posting well-sourced and unbiased, objective historical record. Kind of odd how riled up that made you... (Remember, you're entitled to your own opinion but not your own facts.)
Frankly I'm not really interested in your interpretation of that history, especially since you don't seem to have a very good or nuanced grasp of it in the first place. There are plenty of smart, informed and qualified people who have written on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. No offense but I'll probably check out what they have to say before I check in with you.
Afghanistan is the best modern example of people who won against impossible odds.
Israel is literally fighting for its existence and has nowhere to retreat to should they lose. Afghanistan, like Vietnam, was not an existential threat to the US. It's not really comparable because of this.
Since you mentioned “realpolitik”, and while you may have heard of it before, you could have heard it again recently with John Mearsheimer and others during the war in Ukraine, it is linked to Afghanistan in that, if all ukrainians were (traitors )like those in eastern Galicia, i doubt that Russia could have kept these territories : they would have had to face constant “terrorism” by more numerous inhabitants.
Ukraine is also fighting for its existence.
Realpolitik just means acknowledging the political realities of their situation. Political realism.
Guerilla warfare can sometimes be effective, however I do not believe this approach will lead to victory against Israel. They have been dealing with terrorism/intifada relatively effectively for the past 70 years and have built a sophisticated system that insulates them from Palestinian belligerents. While it failed spectacularly on Oct7, I don't suspect that will happen again. The only domain where Palestinians seem to be able to gain territory is in the court of public opinion.
In the same spirit, wars for decolonization could also count as other examples of successful fights against overwhelming odds.
Even without that, they can win(, i.d.k. if they will,) if the ummah was united.
Wasn't that what happened in '48 and '67? It didn't work out well for other nations who went to war on their behalf. Israel is much stronger now than it was then.
If it wasn’t enough of a weight(, i doubt it), they would certainly change the scale by uniting with Africa, the rest of Asia, Russia, and also South America. That’d mean even more coups by the west in order to keep control, and then by the rest, we(sterners) are lucky that they’re still closer to us.
Interesting
I believe you are overestimating both international support for Palestine and the military capabilities of most African and South American nations.
Palestinian resistance groups are getting support from Iran, who is using them as a proxy, but most of their Arabic neighbors recognize that making an ally of the United States and the EU is far more strategically valuable than backing this group that wants endless war and seeking unreasonable demands. Hamas launched this attack because Saudi Arabia was about to recognize Israel, after all, and SA is dependent upon the US for security. If they alienate the US they have Iran to contend with.
Russia has its own issues right now and cannot afford another front, and there are many Russian Jews in Israel. Given their behaviors in Chechnya, they do not seem to be sympathetic to Muslims.
If ‘fairness is excluded’/‘might makes right’/‘the only factor is strength’, then they’re not weak.
It is not the only factor but it is the most relevant one in this conflict, because it's so very asymmetrical.
Only God would know how to solve this situation in the most perfect manner
If such creatures exist, they haven't weighed in, which is curious given that Allah/Yahweh supposedly care so much about their followers and who controls their holy cities. Funny how gods are always concerned with the same things that their followers and the men who claim to speak for them are, rather than what I'd expect from omnipotent creatures beyond our understanding. It would be like humans trying to control ant societies in our backyards, why would we care?
freely join and leave communities with their own rules and paradise would come unto Earth
I hope we get there one day, albeit through secular means.
