At home my breville delivers espresso’s at 93 degrees C. But it cools quickly in porcelain cups. Did they serve the coffee at boiling temperature?

It was in 2007 for me, I remember one year of university fees costed like 2/3 of one month of my mother salary (secretary in the public sector).

I’m from Europe (Belgium) and did not know it was like this in Australia. Keep fighting this mess. Good luck from the other side of the earth.

There are some apps and services that claim to use AI to answer telemarketers calls on your iPhone. One of them is Jolly Roger Telephone, which uses ChatGPT and voice cloning to create and read scripts to telemarketers, acting as digital, fictitious characters that keep scammers on the line¹². You can subscribe to this service for $24.99 a year and access the accompanying apps to view, listen, and share recorded calls between the bot and the frustrated telemarketer¹. Another app is Call Control, which features smart block technology to automatically block calls from millions of spammers, telemarketers and robocallers³. You can download this app for free from the App Store³. I hope this helps you deal with pesky telemarketers.😉
