Russia has considerable interest in Syria and likely isn't watching Israel's invasion into Southern Syria with glee.

A place near me does this. It's the worst. The spaghetti is chewy because it's dehydrated from being grilled.

A local type of yam that tastes like a cross between a carrot and a potato.

Everything becomes more expensive once a market for it is created. Meanwhile local foods like murnong and kangaroo apples are free in Australia.

They've been trying this for decades in Australia. The so called red-unions.

The red unions have never won a bargaining agreement. Have never even won a seat at the table. They've never even won the right to have representatives in the workplace. They're openly sponsored by bosses to muddy the waters and divide actual unions. They are unregistered and undemocratic.

Despite the fact they've never done anything for their members they claim to have 18,000 members. Mostly anti-vaxxers.

This was heartbreaking. The doubt it puts in your mind even after seeing videos and photos of my kid being so happy at childcare...

What a fucking nightmare that would be

I use an RSS app called Feeder, and Lemmy. I find I go back to The Conversation a lot as I find it covers topics in a calm tone of voice and with a level of academic rigor that I appreciate.

Yes... A terrible outcome that we all want to avoid...

CEOs were “reluctant to say anything publicly,” and were waiting until the market dropped 20 percent before they would go on record saying anything critical about the president.

At that point the horse has truly bolted my dudes. The only plus is that I enjoy the idea of these greedy fucks squirming as everything they ever wanted blows up in their faces.

I volunteer with Disaster Relief Australia and worked alongside the ADF in Lismore. They often didn't have the right tools for the job and we'd share our gear with them. If this is going to become the new norm they need a new approach to disaster management that is much more fit for purpose.

On the other hand, I genuinely think we'd all be better off if everyone was given two weeks paid service-leave each year to spend on a volunteer cause they're passionate about. Everybody should feel secure enough donate their skills. There's nothing more fulfilling.

Barbara Campbell was walking through a New York City subway station during rush hour when her world abruptly went dark. For four years, Campbell had been using a high-tech implant in her left eye that gave her a crude kind of bionic vision, partially compensating for the genetic disease that had rendered her completely blind in her 30s. “I remember exactly where I was: I was switching from the 6 train to the F train,” Campbell tells IEEE Spectrum. “I was about to go down the stairs, and all of a sudden I heard a little ‘beep, beep, beep’ sound.”

It wasn’t her phone battery running out. It was her Argus II retinal implant system powering down. The patches of light and dark that she’d been able to see with the implant’s help vanished...

"This is a gruesome case, brought in 2005 by a Colorado woman named Jessica Gonzales. Gonzales had a restraining order against her ex-husband. But when he kidnapped her three children, the police ignored her requests for help. All three children were murdered. The Supreme Court ruled that the police had no obligation to enforce the restraining order."
