Can you pick fruit in the middle of nowhere instead of renting?

so this is a far cry from the “ban” it has been hysterically portrayed as in the media.

I agree the media reporting has not been great, but the concern is more about slippery slope type effects where this will be extended to cover more and more sites. Some would argue that "slippery slope" arguments are fallacious, but I think there is a point here, especially when laws that can be argued to "protect children" are hard to roll back due to the political risk (and are easy to expand for the same reason).

Will anonymous access still be allowed? I remember there was some vague wording about logged in vs logged out in terms of search engines, which seemed to suggest that only logged in users would be affected. Presumably there would still be age-gated content, though, which historically required a login. Hopefully that doesn't expand if that's the case.

Most of this is auto-generated header files to be clear. Still, goes to show how many GPU variants they have support for in the kernel, going back 15+ years.

They could, but obviously these people would be against that. Because they don't have a rational objection, they're just bigots.

US only I suspect, and likely to be gutted by the Trump administration.

It's at least partly eugenics, which is a common undercurrent in the anti-vaccine movement. Remove healthcare altogether and only the "strongest" will survive.

I'm not sure if this is anything new, but maybe it's getting worse. Most of my friends when I was younger wouldn't do anything more than the "stand still and sway" method of dancing because they didn't want to look silly.

Clean living in his view just means focusing on "natural" things. Which means swimming and drinking shit water is safe, but anything "artificial" is dangerous. So he's certainly not going to care about pathogens in the food supply, because he doesn't believe they are dangerous.

These are quirky in terms of plot but not so much in terms of gameplay (at least your modern examples). That's fine to a point but I'd like to see a bit more variety.

When pressed on his reticence to implement a full ban [on gambling ads], Anthony Albanese has repeatedly implied that gambling is part of Australian culture.

Culture doesn't happen in a vacuum, nor is it some sort of iron clad thing that never changes. Government policy has been a major contributor to addressing various public health issues that have historically been seen as cultural, and the same can apply to gambling.

Although I feel Albanese himself has a bit of a blind spot on this issue. He was one of the people who came out against the proposed greyhound racing ban by the NSW Liberal government in the 2010s, which has always tainted my view of him a little.

Annual prices are slightly cheaper, but they've been gradually squeezing that too. You can of course pause the months you don't want, but it's a somewhat obtuse process.
