My interpretation of the article is that there are two parts.

  • Those permanent residents (from select countries) who are still using their international license will be driving illegally, since the license won't be valid anymore, and
  • The people wanting to convert their international license (from select countries) into an Australian one will need to sit the Australian exams

So, those that haven't converted their licenses will need to do so, and sit an exam to get the Aussie licence. But it sounds like the ones that have already converted the license and are driving on an Aussie license will (should?) not be affected.

As a plot twist, the megacorp, described as an entity, becomes aware of The Owners' intention of destruction. It covertly puts in place measures to survive when the excise comes.

A war of megacorps ensues, the freed megacorps against the enslaved ones by The Owners. With the puny humans being doubly screwed over, of course.

No idea with Japanese, but in Spain, most audiovisual media is dubbed.

Comedy is adapted according to context, both the plot's context and the current cultural context. Jokes are changed to fit the scene AND the translation.

When you start watching them in their original language, usually English, you find that the OG is usually better. And I say usually because in rare occasions, the joke in Spanish ends up being better, at least IMO.

Image poisoning's general principle is to change pixels in a way were our eye can't notice, but that screw up the labeling by LLMs.

You can probably try to apply the same principle, poison the PDF in a way that only humans can read it.

Thing is, I assume you distribute your content on PDFs to make the content accessible to humans. That usually means having the text embedded for easy copy-paste and similar methods. Poisoning these might end up being counterproductive for your objective.

All this to say that No, I have no idea of a poisoning algorithm for PDFs

Recognising that there are items to address is one of the hardest steps of self-improvement. I wish you the best of luck on your journey!

Would going thru the effort and trying to get medication solve my stress related issues?

Solved? Nah, there's little to nothing to be "solved" with medication.

The sweet spot with medication can, however, bring one to a point where emotions are not as extreme.

Anecdotally, I noticed that I had anger outbursts after I resumed medication. I would notice the contrast of the extreme emotion on the days I didn't take meds, or when the meds had worn off.

So, in my experience, meds could help mellowing the reactions. Note that when I say meds, I've only had dexies.

For others reading, the rest of the integrations seem to be working fine (E.g. SoundCloud)

Seems Google is keen on accelerating my de-googling path...

Here's a couple:

  • How did you find each other?

  • How transactional was/is it? As in, was your arrangement discussed before hand? Written down?

Not really, under an area blackout the fiberoptic transmitters will stop working, so you won't be able to reach other areas/nodes even if your equipment has UPS power.

But, in general, the idea of a UPS is to provide enough supply to allow for an orderly shutdown, preventing equipment damage or data loss. Its not meant for long term operations.

For infrastructure and other critical applications, the UPS is designed to give you enough time to go start the diesel generator, and continue the operations.

As a bonus, some UPS have filters to ensure that delicate electronics get a nice, clean power wave. This is usually the case in UPS for data centres.

Btw, how are you liking down under's "revolutionary" idea of Fibre + Copper? Is it as bad as it sounds?

Have you tried a Surf store? DFO might have some outlets worth checking.

Otherwise, thrifty shopping. Take a day trip to the Northern Beaches and check their local Vinnie's/Salvos, I'm sure they'll have something nice for a low price.
