LAs Totally Awesome is apparently the best. Not available in Australia though.

It's that brighter dot to the right of the reflection.

 

I bought a 15 Pro on Monday. Today (Wednesday) I received a tempered glass trying to put on the front and it also came with a glass cover to protect the camera lenses. So I put the glass on the front, and then start cleaning the camera bump area with an alco wipe. There was a spec of dust that was being stubborn to remove. After a little while I realised the spec of dust is on the inside of the camera lense I put the glass cover over anyway but now I'm wondering if I should return it to Apple. It probably isn't affecting the pictures it's taking but now I've seen it under there, I can't unsee it.

That's not true. You can get a gun licence pretty easily in Australia. Anyone that passes a police background check can get one. Yeah it takes 6 months but that's probably a good thing as well. You can't just make an irrational emotional decision and get a gun.

Also the storage requirements are quite strict. You have to have a proper gun safe to own a gun.

Then it's only single shot rifles and some pistols. We also have no public carriage. You can only move guns around from point to point, not just casually carry them.

It makes access to guns very hard for the average person. Yeah it doesn't stop organised criminals having more dangerous weapons, but organised criminals aren't going into schools and massacring people.

Strict gun control has been a really positive decision in Australia. Those who want to go hunting, still can, but kids, teenagers and crazy bastards have a very hard time getting them.

Your probably right.

There a completely separate issue though.

Very pleasant person.

The woman was German.

Why would Israel give a shit about these people murdering Germans?

If anyone would be making a measured response it should be Germany.

If it was my daughter being paraded through the streets dead, I wouldn't be thinking about a very measured response right now. I'd probably be trying to level the entire country.

Duck duck go needs a lot of work to replace Google search.

I've used it for years but often I still get the shits and just bring Google up after duck duck go fails to find what I'm looking for.

I bought my wife a 'fake ' diamond ring for the engagement ring.

She couldn't tell her snooty friends that though, so she went and bought herself a very expensive ring with real diamonds.

She had the ring I bought her melted into my wedding band. I hate jewellery though so had no intention of wearing it. I agreed to wear it for a week after we got married. I've never worn it again. I haven't even seen it since that first week. Over a decade. I wonder if it's just lost, or she has it somewhere still.

I don't care enough to ask.

This is a left wing echo chamber. Get those alternative views and ideas out of here.

You parrot the narrative talking points or GTFO.

It's a short sighted argument to say baddies don't follow the rules so your only restricting honest people.

In Australia assault rifles and automatics are just outright banned. You need a licence to own any type of gun, which takes 6 months waiting for background checks to be done. Guns must be kept in Safes etc.

So whilst a baddie might want to get an assault rifle and go on a kill rampage he can't. There just aren't any around. You can't break in to a house and steal one.

Can organised crime get them? Sure. But that's not what this is trying to stop. It's preventing the impulsive bat shit crazy person going on a rampage.

It absolutely helps, as proven by Australias lack of mass shootings.

People who want to go hunting still can.
