Our Security team has identified an active phishing campaign targeting 1Password users. The phishing emails impersonate a third-party identity provider breach notification and include a malicious link.

These emails are not from 1Password. This campaign is not the result of any breach of 1Password's systems, and we're actively working with partners to take down the fraudulent domains.

If you've received one of these emails:

@fleroy1974 Just listened to a nutritionist who did not like the term Vegan, preferred Plant Based diet instead.

However their definition of plant based included around 25% of their diet coming from animal products. 🤦

Foreign owned wind farms billion dollar rip off.

Australian electricity users were stung $1 billion last year by the federal government in hidden charges on their electricity bills to prop up unreliable and unviable wind farm projects #auspol #energy #netzero #costofliving

Couldn’t disagree more. If we have talented players playing locally why should we pick someone who has not committed to Australian Rugby.

I have no issue with players chasing a $, but you can’t have it both ways. If we want to succeed we need players who are willing to put in the hard yards to win for the Jersey.

So instead of introducing a policy to reduce the cost of power, we have another subsidy from the government which will assist a small segment of the population.

How safe are these batteries, can the be recycled?Are we creating another environmental problem?

As someone who struggled with obesity for the last 40 years, it was through the use of a GLP-1 that I could finally break my sugar addiction, and start getting proper hunger signalling.

While I still have a way to go, using a GLP-1 for 3 months, provided me the space and time to change my diet and lifestyle. Now 6 months down the track, (have not used a GLP-1 in 3 months) I have lost 45kg, have a healthy diet, am slowly coming off medications (under Dr supervision) and can exercise on a daily basis.

Do I think that GLP-1’s are a fix to our obesity crisis, NO, but they are a tool when used properly allow people to make the necessary changes to improve their health and lifestyle.

You’ve got causation backwards doc.

Obesity causes food addiction, lethargy, and poor sleep.

Curing obesity solves hunger signaling, increases energy and improves sleep.

@mark16pg We should not be destroying our supposedly heritage protected national parks all in the name of saving the environment?

[Brendan Barker @barkerb72]

@RobertS46299228 @mark16pg Why does that mean we should be destroying our supposedly heritage protected national parks all in the name of saving the environment?

We have been told so many times that the sky is falling, that people are now seeing that Climate Change is a scam.

The Guardian has reported that the Arctic Ocean will be ice-free within the next four years.

Oh wait, silly me, this article was written 12 years ago.

Check out @DrSeanOMara has done a lot of research around the benefits of sprinting. He goes into depth about visceral fat, the dangers and how to get rid of it.

Personally I haven’t made it to the sprinting stage yet. Besides strength training I predominantly walking, but I mix it up between different speeds, how hilly the walk is etc so no two walks are the same. Have started to include a jog every now and again usually jogging for 30sec and then walking for a minute.

@grok @DMAC_1O @up_thegutz @BluesRugbyTeam @ChalynRugby We will just ignore that loss of the Chiefs at home to the Reds in 2023

@konstructivizm Shame about the polar icecaps not getting the memo about melting…

[Brendan Barker @barkerb72]

@RugbyReg Love that we can have so many of our usual starters either injured or rested, but the team has the confidence to get the job done. At no stage tonight did it look like there was any panic on the field, just a belief that they could get the winning try.

You don’t realize how sick you are until you stop being sick.

Always tired
Always hungry
Always irritable

Is not healthy.
