That somebody has no idea what they're talking about.

I think you're right.

It's cute, it's just a shame it has such powerful allergens. I hope your symptoms don't last too long.

tuffrings.bsky.social @tuffrings.bsky.social · 7h

On the positive side, at least they're not talking about anything that matters

tuffrings.bsky.social @tuffrings.bsky.social · 7h

Bullies running around crying when anyone stands up to them. Pathetic.

So now that ChatGPT is offering erotica, all the card processors should refuse to authorize subscription charges, right? 😒 Or was this only about the people using something to make money and not a corporation?

Simeon Brown seems to have no ethical lines. What a shameless hypocrite.

How it's done depends on where you are, e.g. surprise DNR in the UK. The US seems to be moving back towards involuntary institutionalization.

The Roy Morgan, Labour/Talbot Mills, and Taypayers' Union/Curia polls aren't explicitly done for media. (Curia also does polling for National, I believe.)

Political parties sometimes put more emphasis on accuracy than cost, but they also have a natural bias that can creep in.

tuffrings.bsky.social @tuffrings.bsky.social · 1d

Yes, a poll done for the media, which usually means the emphasis is much more on fast and cheap than accurate. Maybe that doesn't really matter, if they're consistent over time, and there are a range of polls to compare. We just have to hope they're not all making the same mistakes.

That's overstating it. Fairly low-end commercial poll I think.

Press gives only brief notes on methodology. Freshwater's site has nothing yet on Oct poll, only June. Press says eligible voters surveyed, but Freshwater says people aged 18+,from online panels. Weighting murky. No response rate given.

My personal experience is that the effect of humidity changes from making it feel cooler to warmer somewhere around 70 °F.

But maybe it's something else. Does sunshine make a big difference to how your house feels?

tuffrings.bsky.social @tuffrings.bsky.social · 1d

More seriously, there seem to be a few theories about why high humidity makes cool weather feel colder. Here's one explanation:

So why does it feel colder when it's humid?

LHT Cooling, Heating & Refrigeration, Inc. is a Myrtle Beach based company that can help answer why does it feel colder when it's humid

Humidity. A damp cool day can feel much colder than a dry one.

I'm guessing "exceptional circumstances" means they greased the right people's palms.

No, it was far worse than that. It was to facilitate mass murder.

Techniques like gas chambers, later used on Jews in the Holocaust, were first developed by the Nazis to murder disabled people en masse.

The Nazi Euthanasia Program, codenamed Aktion "T4," was the systematic murder of institutionalized people with disabilities. Read about Nazi “euthanasia.”

Fabulous thread that demonstrates, so clearly, how limited and erroneous, Tony Abbott's history is.

Dr Ingrid M @ingridm.bsky.social · 3d

poor old Tony Abbott is on the public broadcaster dismissing the oldest and longest continuous oral histories in the history of humanity as “hearsay” how’s your morning going.
