You know you have lived long enough in Australia when you think peak UV index of 8 isn’t really that bad. Yeah, I do use sunscreen though, but 4-5 is pretty much the highest it ever gets in Finland.

Sometimes I love Apple onboarding experience, sometimes I really hate it. Especially when it tells you to install a 2.5 GB software update before you can even see the Home Screen. Feels like picking up a PlayStation game after a 6-month break.

I have stayed in quite a few hotels during my life, ranging from mouldy motels to five star luxury hotels. The only one that has truly made me angry with their unbelievably shitty service is Hilton. Avoid.

I feel like all social media algorithms are designed to work in a way that they start showing content in a non-English language if you ever post or interact with posts in that language. They don’t care about the content. Speak Finnish? Here’s more uninteresting content because it’s in Finnish!

It's really, really important now to get food preparation info from reliable people. Please be sure that the recipe you are using from a blog was written by an actual person.

"Register your product for extended warranty" is actually "Give us your details so that we can use it for marketing purposes and perhaps sell it to other marketers".

A major cause of rising house prices has been increased demand from investors. Our research shows restricting negative gearing to newly built housing and scrapping the capital gains tax discount would reduce speculation and allow more first home buyers to get into their own home.

In every company, you usually have to put your leave information in at least 3 different systems. There’s the generic HR system where it’s approved, then some team internal Excel sheet, your Outlook calendar and possibly a few others on top of those.

I turned Apple intelligence off a while ago. As a result the battery life improved. It had 0 benefits so why bother using it.

I’m sick of hearing that #Krasnov is a divisive person. Just look at how he has bought these traditional enemies together.

PREDICTION: Now that the election has been called, Trump, Musk, Putin and their cronies will try to put their fingers on the election scale in order to promote a win by Thug. Beware Australian voters, if you vote #LNP, you may not have a country anymore. #auspol #Fascism #WWIII #Canada #Greenland

The Royal Canadian Air Force general who recommended Canada buy the F-35 fighter jet from the US now says the purchase should no longer go forward because America has become so untrustworthy. It would be "irresponsible", he said. #aukus should be reconsidered now

The Signal leak is a prime moment for Democrats to get caught trying. Call for resignations or impeachment hearings or both. Be omnipresent in the media demanding and explaining accountability measures. Don’t let this fade away. Treat this the way the GOP treated Hillary’s emails. Make it a thing.

Imagine thinking it's a good idea to claim "common ground" with a convicted felon, who betrayed Ukraine to support Putin, and is busily dismantling democracy to support billionaires & destroy govt services in the USA. Wow, Dutton DOES have a lot in common with Trump! #USPolitics #auspol #AusVotes25
