My favourite flu fact is that zoonotic transmition of viral infection was discovered when a ferret who had the flu sneezed in a scientists mouth while he was moving it between cages in like the twenties

There's no such thing as a sick day for an office job anymore, which has been kinda hosed/funny to see

If you're well enough to write the message to say you can't come in you're well enough to read and reply to emails and go to meetings or do nerd poo poo, you ain't swinging a tool

I should specify that that I believe that is hosed, and it should gently caress off

Kevin is very happy at his wall Street consultancy job, where no one is allowed to get mad about his managerial style because they're just shitheads and he ran a country once

Not one ankle bracelet has been issued in Queensland's GPS tracker trial targeting 100 repeat youth offenders

https://www.abc.net.au/news/2021-07-19/no-gps-trackers-issued-in-queensland-trial/100302842

Member for Burdekin Dale Last said the reason the trackers were not being issued was because most of the repeat offenders were younger than 16.

"The government has completely missed the mark when it comes to identifying the group of young offenders who are the most prolific offenders in our community," he said.

I've seen this posted online a couple of times, and I'm more than confident this isn't an expiry date (2018.07.15). Is there anyone who knows enough about product packaging to answer if boxes like this get date stamped before being labelled? A blank box sitting around for a year or so, which ends up getting the AstraZeneca label printed on it because it fits the appropriate sized vials? I'm really itching to tell people they are wrong and dumb, but I can't get the info I want with terms like "box manufacture printing date" and things of that nature.



I don't think you could convince anyone who buys that image as proof of a conspiracy that it's fake due to some quirk of how dates go on packaging sometimes, wether or not that's the case

You don't have to be particularly smart to clown on Anning

Going to a small Nazi rally held on private property and cracking an egg on the dude's head and then getting beaten up ruled, but it wasn't a smart thing to do

It's not supposed to be a boon, it's to compensate people who will probably lose that amount of money by sacrificing their work hours. And hell, if an unemployed guy can have three hundred dollars that is also very cool, but I think there would be a Test about it if it passed that excluded 'em

A generation of kids hosed by long covid baybee

Long covid is pretty hosed, and kids seem to get it in about one in twenty five cases and are plagued with getting wheezy and dumber and chronically tired regardless of how bad their infection was. Should be cared about more!

Whilst we all love our communist socialist Fuhrer Dictator Dan down here in Victoria, how is he seen beyond our borders?

The same way Gladys is still relatively liked/electable in Sydney/NSW, but is hated/unelectable by the rest of Australia.

Sorry for the myopic-ness of these questions.

When I read it in the morning I was in Woden but I was like well the bus is coming, I probably don't have to rush to get papers and filters, there's a couple of small IGAs around my place and it's probably gonna be tomorrow night or something

Forty minute line in a tiny IGA x-press in south Canberra like twenty minutes after I heard it was gonna be in a couple hours, a guy stood at the front of the shop and yelled about how the people with fewer items should be prioritised

Everyone was either looking at their phones or talking to people on 'em trying to get a shopping list and ignored him and he eventually wandered back into line in a huff
