I’ve ended a relationship because the girl drove like an impatient bafoon. If you have a superiority complex about a speed limit in residential areas, I’ll sit in the passenger seat railing about how you’re such a shit driver. Just drive the speed limit and gently.
Yeah English police are much more welcoming than the US police.
It’s about as annoying as young people abandoning any and all punctuation entirely the amount of people that will write an entire paragraph and not use a single period is obscene if you can’t bother to organize your thoughts in the most minimal way I’m going to assume you have nothing of worth to say and just won’t read it and frankly, if what you’re saying is so boiler plate you don’t need punctuation then you really don’t have anything to add so probably just shouldn’t
Well this is just impossible. The UK tried to do this and failed. Plus I’m not sure how this is going to reduce DV? Is there a problem of kids strangling their partners during sex? Isn’t there a better way to educate them?
Don’t count your hens I remember when all the consoles had backwards compatibility, until they didn’t.
So a non refundable return of over 10% with an expected break even at year 10. Hmm, that’s not a good investment. Also I adds no value to your property.
I’m gonna call it, the farmer put up $100k in solar and sold it for $200k with a dividend plan for what it produces.
Government financed IVF will not solve the birth decline, nor will a plethora of government carrots and incentives for short term fixes. Because Australia has a long tradition with immigration I don’t see low birth rates as a dire problem, it is bad news for older homogenous societies like Russia, China and Japan. What will be necessary though is a shift in our composition of tax policies and handouts. Much more tax collections will have to come from non personal income.
Hang on hang on hang on let me spend $100,000 on consultants to tell me what I want to think.
If you’re under 30, full-time job, no looming debts, no kids, then the 6 months can really be 3 months or around $10,000. If you have a partner, you are even more secure. Remember this is a figure derived from very conservative financial commentators who assume you have a linear college and job progression (which is rarely the case). Even a 1 month savings buffer will save you for 90% of the unexpected expenses.
If you’re in your late 50s, finding a new job will be tough, especially if you are laid off during a recession. In that case a generous buffer beyond 6 months would be good.
Either way, having savings is a good thing. Yes you will miss out on those “epic Bitcoin gains”, but once you have made an emergency savings buffer, then you can really knuckle down on contributions to retirement.
I live in a small unit that had dusty ultra-compacted dirt around the house that was called a lawn. I broke the soil with a hoe, threw a few bags of soil mix down and planted some moss I harvested growing wild down the laneway. 2 years later the ground is mostly covered in a spongey moss. Give it a few more years it’ll be completely covered and thick.
It requires virtually no mowing and needs little water. Apparently growing moss is even good for air and ground water purification. Not sure how much purifying it’s doing but it’s good to know I’m doing my little part.
If you have a small yard, grow moss.
Living in apartments.
In a lot of cities and towns living in apartments is seen as something that young adults who are renting short term do, and definitely not families or older couples.
Living in an apartment is considerably cheaper for my situation. I drive so much less, I pay for less power, and I have all this parkland around me.
I’m a car guy and I don’t have a garage, that’s annoying, but I commute by escooter now and drive on the weekends. It’s much better.
Same with me, got the Switch and the Chromecast plugged in. That’s it.
I haven’t watched TV in years. I have a tv, but it’s only hooked up to the gaming consoles.
The referendum last year? I didn’t see any ads, I just read ABC news every few days to see what was up. That $200 million dollar lottery? Never heard anything about it. “Did you hear about the car crash on the…?”, nope.
On YouTube I’d rather donate directly to the creators I like, and I feel I’m really apart of that niche community.
I think about the old family radio that everyone sat around, and then the tv that everyone sat around, and now people can kinda sit around watching their own thing, and (hopefully) chat share about their interests.
I don’t think free to air will be around in 10 years. It’s up to the advertisers.
That’s a great question. What I would say is the wheels of justice turn painfully slowly.
I am sure Antony Blinken is well aware of domestic concerns over the wellbeing of Gazans, the unfortunate reality is any big decision against or at Israel will come with negative consequences.
The path of least resistance might be allowing the Israeli’s to squeeze out their own leader democratically. Is that the best way? Well, probably? Not always?
A pacifist may look to the Vietnam War, Libya or Iran and say action was injustice, an activist might look at the Rwandan Genocide and say pacifism was injustice. Diplomacy has to do it’s thing.

Yep. I bet my landlord is barely, if it all, breaking even on yield. Whereas I’m sitting on my arse investing in ASX: VAS getting 12%.
Why people go the lengths to get a loan, buy a flat, find a tenant, do all the maintenance and paperwork, all to get 0.1% yeild, and maybe an increase in value? I mean the last 30 years yes it would be wise, but you can’t just say it’ll be like that in the future.
Also, if I need the equity, it’s liquid, unlike houses.
That’s great, but you are not in the majority who support them. I’m fairly confident that most voice them as a generally negative group that is annoying, self centred and counterproductive.
For the kids, this would’ve been a top of the line beefy set-up. I would say in '98 you would find a 1gb hd, a 120 Pentium, and 16mb of ram in a typical home that had a computer.
Remember things upgraded fast back then, by '00 your average Joe would be buying Pentium iii’s with 600mhz and a DVD drive! Woah!
