Anyone bothered at the fact staff and security cannot do anything while shoplifting takes place?

I’m actually bothered by this because it does nothing to deter these people. As a matter of fact, you’re only encouraging them to do it again and again again while passing on the bill towards people who actually pay for their groceries.

This is disgusting and it needs to stop. Either go bankrupt, or catch the perpetrators

What are my options regarding estranged parents trying to have me convicted by witholding letters from me?

I haven't talked to my parents in over 4 years due to child neglect and abuse over the years, and now they have made attempts to have me convicted by witholding vote paper and fines sent to the mail. One instance was them whitholding my voting papers which lead to a failure to vote fine. I am now going to recive a dog attack fine that happened at the address while I was out at work and that the dog was not registered to my name.

Are yuccas ever a problem with NBN technicians?

It seems these threes are very popular with Victorians and I had one technician tell me he had been cut by many of these ultra sharp plants.

Is it considered child abuse for a parent to force a child to adopt a different gender expression?

Growing up being more close to his feminine side, I had a very insecure Catholic father who was very concerned that I was not masculine enough. He would always be more strict around me than to my siblings, deny me of educational services designed to help me succeed in school, and he was always there to blame, boss and scold me for anything that goes wrong around the home.

My parents grew up during a time when a person’s gender expression was dictated by what’s under their pants!

I was naturally more close to my feminine side before he corrupted it.

Electric vs PHEV vs HEV, which one provides more range and less downtime for charging?

Forgive me for my biased opinion, but I think Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV) is superior to the other 2 options.

My opinion why I think HEV is a better option.

1- Energy source. This technology provides 2 sources of energy, should one fail.

2- Leas downtime. Unlike EV and PHEV, HEV vehicles use their existing ICE engines to recharge the battery cells so there is no need to wait 30+ minutes at a EV charge station.

The only thing I can think of as a disadvantage for HEV is the maintenance and repair costs compared to the other 2 current technologies.

Did laptops from 2005/2006 utilize a device that connected between the motherboard and keyboard? LG LW60/LW7070

Hi folks, I remember taking apart my old notebook and coming across a rather peculiar device that had the keyboard connect to it and then the device connecting to the motherboard. If I could describe what it looked like, it looked like the WiFi/Bluetooth chips we see today in modern laptops.

How does an IP ban work for dynamic IP addresses, VPN, and proxy sites?

I don't see how an IP ban would work in such scenarious because the end user could simply swith ISPs, use a VPN, use a proxy site, or even refresh his router with a new dynamic IP address.

Another thing that I'm not sure would work is changing the MAC addrress of a device to access the site again.

Is my parent’s house at risk of fire (roof insulation at the base of a makeshift and illegal ceiling outlet)

My dad, a plumber, did some electrical work on his own years back, had removed a smoke alarm and replaced it with a wall outlet that is also using a plastic jar lid as a base. I can see the makeshift wall outlets is now hanging from the ceiling with insulation covering the 3 wires.

Can I just use my Turbo Jet Pro to blow away the insulation from the 3 wires and it will be safe?

Realistically, is Australia’s approach to neutrality between nations is more effective than getting better fighter jets?

Australia’s military does have an arsenal of various fighter jets such as the FA/18 Super Hornet, Panavia Tornadoes (I assume that’s what it’s called), but how does this stack against other narions such as the US with their TR-3B and China’s J-35. If Australia needs to increase its air defence they need SAMS and better fighter jets because they are sitting ducks.

Is India concerned at all that Pakistan is in the process of procuring J-35 5 gen fighter jets while India only gets Tejas Mk/114-Rafale 4.5 gen fighter jets?

It seems India does not take into consideration that Pakistan will have 5th gen fighter jets while India has older gen fighter jets with less detection range than the newer fighter jets. This cannot be good for Indian air defence.

EDIT: It has come to my attention India has S-400 SAMS scattered throughout India which will make shooting down Pakistani fighter jets seem like spraying flies with insecticide. India’s SAM detection range is more than enough to target Pakistani air bases should Pakistan launch an air attack.

Will the additional order of XT2 trains mean that Werribee and Sandringham will see these train running on these lines?

I’m not sure about Sandy but I’m seeing an increase in patronage of our lines with many people standing on peak hour services. Given the increase in patronage is only due to free travel for this month, something needs to be done about the increased patronage for in the coming years.

Anything I should know about when buying/leasing a new modern car (old 90s car to 2026/2027 Toyota CH-R Hybrid)

I've only driven old cars from the 80/90s which I have serviced myself. I'm new to modern cars with their tighter engine tolerances and need for fully synthetic fluids, drive-by wire systems, COP ignition systems (deleted ignition leads and candybar ignition coils), acceleration responsivness and if the computer locks down reserved performance.

Is it going to be more complicated to fault a misfiring cylinder in a modern car than it is with an older car (switch coil to a different plug and see if the misfire jumps to another cylinder)?

Will their computers throw error codes and enter limp mode if I use aftermarket parts?

Will the ECU lock me out for bolting new parts myself without a firmware reflash?

I already own a 2024 Duke 390 by KTM and already this thing requires reprogramming just because it treats the key like a USB flash drive.

Hi folks,

I just went to the dentist for root canal and the treatment is a 2 process procedure. I can see there is no hole in the infected tooth and looks exactly like how it was before I got to the appointment.

First off, I'm not trying to be something I'm not by mimicking some of my male coworkers!

Having work with masculine/flamboyant males and being freinds with one, I have come to the sudden realization that I do not fit the stereotpyical masculine man in terms of interests, sentence structruing, hobbies, etc. I consider myself as an introverted GNC adult male with difficulty maintaing a conversation and establishing freindship with others due to incompatibility issues. I don't cosider myself as a femboy myself, but someone with similar traits and interests.

An example of how I differ from masculine/flamboyant males.

1 - Car choice.

Masculine men = Utilitarian, heavy-duty, SUV/muscle cars with plenty of cylinders or newer tech such as EV/HEV. Ford Raptor/ Toyota Hilux as examples.

Felamboyant/feminene males = Compact, fuel efficient ICE/EV cars with cute asthetics. Mini Cooper/Fiat 500 as examples.

Me! = Compact, high performance, fuel efficient ICE/EV/FCEV cars with either a retrofutristic 80s design or angular asthetics. Cupra Born/Tavascan, Tesla Truck, Hyundai N Vision as examples. As for ICE cars, 2 or 4 cylinder engines with a turbocharger for increased fuel effiecienty and acceleration.

2 - Friendship.

Masculine men = They can be boisterous, stoic or introverted. They form friends with other men who conform to masculine norms.

Flamboyant/feminene males = They can form friendships through shared spaces, mutual interests and shared vulnerability bypassing the need for traditional masculine conformity

Me= Introverted personality with diffuculty establishing conversation with men due to differing interests, sentence structuring, etc. Can form friendships with feminne/flamboyant males due to shared vulnerability and similar mental disposition in terms of how they react to certain stimuli (introverted and shy when talking to someone)

4 - Music

Masculine men = Classic Rock, Heavy Metal and Rock.(not every man follows these genres). some may like electronica such as EDM/ Synthwave, etc.

Flamboyant/Femeine males = Hyperpop, Nightcore, EDM,, melodic upbeat pop, as well as artistic expression over aggression. Bruno Mars, Eliie Goulding, Cyxll (unsure if its spelt cofrrectly)

Men = EDM, Synthpop, Synthwave/Retrowave, Electronica songs and sometimes upbeat electronic pop music . The Midnight, Gunship, Timecop1983, Empire of The Sun, Miami Horror, Strange Talk and Megan Nicole. (into the fire)

5 - Clothing.

Me = Dress in a way to appear smart incorporating deep black V-neck shirt, eyeglasses and shorts when not working.

Does drinking green tea and taking Amoxcillin at the same time reduce or increase the effectivness of Amoxcillin (not asking for medical advice)?

I currently have a tooth/jaw infection due to a necrotice tooth pulp and wondering if green tea can affect how the drug is absorbed into the body. I was primarily intending to drink the green tea for with the drug to make the antibiotic resistant bacteria more suscpetible to Amoxcillin as green tea has the ability to weaken the cell wall of antibiotic resistant bacteria due topigallocatechin-3-gallate found in green tea.

Hi folks, I didn't think too much of my tooth infection after starting a course of Amoxicillin thinking it had cured the infection on its own. I am now learning the hard way with a swollen lower jaw line (side of the jaw and not under the dead tooth), raised mouth floor, possible antibiotic ressistant bacteria because I forgot to take my antibiotic consistently, and also difficulty breathing.

My tooth infection is back along with localized pain from the lower jaw which is not under the dead infected tooth.
