On the whole, they’re used to East Asian health professionals, and some even deliberately seek East Asian doctors.

They do NOT like South East Asian HCWs, but will tolerate it. There are regular requests in community groups for an ‘Australian’ doctor, and whilst there is plenty of pushback from commenters about what makes a doctor Australian, they tend to say they have issues with the accent (not overly unwarranted, I have an Australian accent but can speak fast, and this is probably the most common feedback I get).

There are a bigoted few who will actually refuse to see Aboriginal clinicians.

Quince and cheese on crackers is a common thing, so jam cheese and bread just seems normal to me too…

Some of the cables need to be longer to not have that effect where they’re being pulled against their own weight.

Preorder for mk in AUD is $114, fortunately. 😅

…still fucking steep.

So apparently this is 100% a thing with expensive camera lenses. Different markets will get different quality lenses despite the model being marked as the same.

It’s also why I won’t buy clothing from US based outlets, as the brands have been known to explicitly manufacture lower quality product to sell at outlets. That said, the only time this actually comes up for me (being an Australian), is that I won’t buy big brand clothing at Costco.

Yes, dog liver contains way too much vitamin A.

Somehow I don’t think censoring this gentleman’s eyes is going to prevent him from being recognised…

Most of the common ones now do wireless streaming from the PC for PCVR. But yes, for PCVR games you will still need a PC to run it. There are some VR headsets that are capable of running some games on it without a connected PC, like my Quest 2 can run Superhot or BeatSaber etc.

The fit site release has a mod included for flat screen mode.

Call a podiatrist.

I bought a StinkyBoard thinking I would be so productive… I was not. Perhaps I’m not being imaginative enough with its use. 😅

Oh beer bread! I did that for a fun test back in 2020. Don’t necessarily have to use packet mix, you can DIY a fair bit for sure.

Oh that’s cheeky. China has control of the current Panchen Lama, don’t they?

Violence isn’t the answer, it’s the question. And the answer is yes.

When someone says it’s quiet at work, suddenly all these emergencies come in…

There’s a reason guns were called the great equalizer.

Body glide blister balm, and laundry wash sheets (so much tidier than washing powder!).

Most of my other stuff seems standard to me…

Those gl-inet routers are really handy. Great if you have a bunch of wireless devices too, login to the hotel wifi with one device, spoof on the router that device’s MAC, then you have “one” device hooked up to the hotel wifi… And everything else connects to a pre setup wifi network and you don’t have to login on all of them.

Haha no: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silver_lining_(idiom)

But still funny in context 🤭
