There's a setting in there that prevents the phone from dimming or locking if you're looking at it; the repeated scan may be related.

I turned that off primarily because it made my eyes feel a little odd.

The decent thing about face login on iPhone is you can set it to require your attention before unlocking the phone. So closing your eyes or looking away from the phone will prevent unauthorised unlocks.

All it takes is for someone to start asking for the paper trail. "You owned this land, Woojidy Boojidy people? Where's the title deed? You gonna pay some tax on that?"

The aboriginals were nomadic; they had no concept of land ownership, settlement development, agriculture or farming.

Much like the climate change debate, there is only one side allowed to speak and everything they say is considered fact. Australia's fucked.

Let's be realistic here; if Putin decided he was going to eliminate the EU (and by that I mean the unelected bureaucracy masquerading as a legitimate governing body) the entire region would be better off.

No more migrant quotas, no more erosion of national culture and identity, no more countries bankrupting themselves to fund the boot on their neck.

Initially the EC was a decent idea, setting up free trade deals between nations and (I believe) mutual defence treaties. Unfortunately, just like so many other governmental organisations around the world, it grew too large, interfered too much and is now simply a massive burden on the hardworking taxpayer.

Downvoted for facts? This place really is turning into fucking Reddit. It's a provable fact that over the last 4 months, Bitcoin lost around 50% of its value. Will it regain that loss? Maybe, but the fact is it fluctuates too much to be considered a stable currency.

I member when the SNP were a fringe party promising 'freedom' from English tyranny. Never voted for them, because aside from the Braveheart card, they never ever seemed to have an actual plan. Seems they've simply evolved into an authoritarian socialist regime desperate to escape the UK and live under the EU boot.

I think with his family having come from Soviet-occupied Eastern Europe, he knows a thing or two about communism. Could be doing with more Australians learning a little about the world beyond their own border; they might start to actually question things.

Knowing the Victorian Labor Party, they'll be able to spin that into 'oh, the air quality in Melbourne is injuring these folks at the tennis. Time to impose extra charges on vehicles entering the city and mandate electric cars.'

Exact same shit here in Australia. More or less any of the industries with a jab mandate are allowing people who test positive but are 'asymptomatic' to continue working.

They realised they shot themselves in the foot with the mandate, but politicians being what they are, they'll never admit they made a mistake.

Awesome. So I can use Gamepass to continue getting MS points to continue getting free Gamepass. ;-)

Their markers stay on the map until you complete them, so there's no time pressure. That would have made it interesting.

Another thing the open world killed was the sense of immersion, ironically. The OG games always had set-pieces where you walked into a shitstorm of UNSC vs. enemies. They made it feel like there was a larger battle going on and you were just a part of the world.

Infinite tries to replicate that with the distress calls, but at no point in my playthrough did I feel immersed in the world.

Tell me more of these... GamePass points?

Are those the achievements with the little diamond icon? Are they related in any way to the MS rewards on Bing?

Soon we'll start hearing about how heart attacks are perfectly normal in 5-11 year-old kids.

Designated Survivor is a pretty great show until season 3, where it takes a very sharp left turn. Never-before-mentioned tranny "sister"-in-law, anyone?

Ah yes, the famous retcon of everything up to that point because 'it was the genius sister behind everything from the start, you see?'

Guess I should have expected nothing less from the BBC.

Is that why he got killed off? Fucking hell, he was a cool character. I have to say though, season 5 did nothing for me. Acting was a bit off, and the whole plot seemed to just tread water.

Also don't forget the recent Palachook statement about wearing a mask while standing, but while seated the virus passes over you so it's fine to remove it.

They also have a 'no fault' compensation scheme in place. So basically if your state government or employer forces you to take the jab in order to continue making a living, and said jab seriously injures you, the federal government will throw dollars at you as long as you concede there's no-one at fault for it.
