Do you know why you end up owing? I've mostly ended up owing when I've gotten a significant pay bump, which it's hard to feel too bad about (rebates still feel good though).

Alternatively maybe the reductions in HECS have increased your taxable income?

If it helps there's a standalone version of the logic.

At a rough scan, it looks like it tries to find a best guess "main content" node by stripping unlikely nodes and then scoring each node. Element type and content contribute to the score

/**
       * Loop through all paragraphs, and assign a score to them based on how content-y they look.
       * Then add their score to their parent node.
       *
       * A score is determined by things like number of commas, class names, etc. Maybe eventually link density.
       **/

This is much better than I expected based on the title. Axes are based on politicalcompass.org which should in no way be considered a politically centred test, but the results as shown are still interesting.

Minor criticism - I don't think the mirroring control as described in the prose was good. I'd suggest the appropriate opposite of "the rich are taxed too much" is "the rich are taxed too little" not "the rich are not taxed too much". Yes the latter is a literal inversion of the meaning, but I would expect biases in the same direction to come through with almost identical wording. I didn't check the data set of reflected questions.

Major criticism:

While I do publish my results I decided against publishing the actual reverse engineered scoring from politicalcompass.org. It is their instrument and their secret to keep, and reverse engineering it already feels like enough of a liberty.

Please release the scoring. The idea that a libertarian organisation promoting rigour and transparency in politics hides their methodology is worthy of ridicule. The scoring should have been released as a public good given how many people take the scoring as gospel.

The sheer irony of an agency named “eSafety” claiming that VPN use was a “workaround” that must be blocked? VPNs provide way more safety than anything that the “eSafety” Commission has done regarding internet usage.

100%. It became very obvious early on when the commission was all-but-mandating the collection of personal data of children. The entire report into the efficacy and privacy of age verification measures took "we promise we delete data" as an acceptable level of privacy. The idea that privacy might entail not collecting personal data in the first place was not even considered.

In brief

  • New data from the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare illustrates smoking and vaping habits in Australia.
  • It identified a rise in the proportion of people using multiple nicotine products at once, and a sharp increase in illicit tobacco use.

Ah, I see.

It means below in the tree list. FreeCAD doesn't actually keep track of a timeline of changes, the tree fully represents your state.

I believe the tip also only applies within a PartDesign body, but that's okay because that's where the operation is that you want to insert.

If you use either the "make dependent copy" or "cross reference" options when you explode the cut, you can still make changes to the tree of the first body and then update the second body. If you use the independent copy option (the one shown selected in your screenshot), then there absolutely no persistent relationship between the two bodies. If the full tree gets copied you might be able to make the same change on both, otherwise you will need to redo at least the explode operation.

Mozilla claims open source but that doesn't appear to actually be true - the previous version of the app was released under GPL 3 2 years ago. I can find no claim on their website that the new revision is open source or any way to access the source, and they're not on F-Droid. IMO that's a no go, no matter how thorough Mozilla was in their 3 hours of testing.

I recommend drip. which is actually open source, fully local and available on F-Droid.

Physiotherapists tend to recommend against wrist rests. When you are typing your hands should hover, when you aren't then your hands should ideally move away from the keyboard altogether.

If you still use one anyway, rigid ones are less likely to compress veins/nerves in your wrist/hand and are more comfortable than they sound. Make sure you only rest your palm on it (and only when not typing), it's not actually a "wrist" rest (also you'll find better options searching for "palm rest" IME).

I am not a physio, this is all parroted from two physios I've talked to about wrist pain.
