It’s only 63 stores though. Not all of them

Wasn’t Abbott quite smart? He was just an evil wanker

Edmund Barton. What an arse

I do this already with American accents and Google

Damn good effort! Well done!
- Comment on Australian families switching to cycling as car-running costs rise - ABC News 1 month ago:
There needs to be both the carrot and the stick. Cycling has to get easier (better infrastructure) and driving has to get harder (expensive, traffic, etc). Together these drive behaviour change
- Comment on 'Yelling; shouting, intimidation': These men abused their partners. They're now fighting to be better 2 months ago:
I feel like too often people just say “stop domestic abuse”, but without tackling the underlying causes.
So I’m a big fan of programs like this that help abusers become better people.

I hope they’re paying for it themselves.
- Comment on A person's home may be their castle but if they leave it vacant can they really complain if it gets taken away? 4 months ago:
Yeah, I think the government should give fair warning. Say if it’s still vacant in 6 months, we’re acquiring it and selling it to someone who will make use of it.

- Comment on Let's chat about these SEVEN nuclear power plants the LNP want to build ... 4 months ago:
I think you misunderstood me. The small bet I was referring to is not the coalition’s plan. It would be more money to research next generation reactors.
- Comment on Let's chat about these SEVEN nuclear power plants the LNP want to build ... 5 months ago:
I think it’s a well balanced and well researched video. I don’t think she concludes that nuclear is a clear winner. And in our case it may not make sense. But both sides are guilty of cherry picking facts to fit their narrative.
The only reason I can think of to go nuclear is if renewables can’t meet our power needs. I think it’s a hard problem for the grid to manage distributed power generation in such varying amounts. Sometimes the sun doesn’t shine and the wind doesn’t blow enough. Can batteries fill the gaps? I hope so. But I wouldn’t be opposed to a small bet on nuclear at the same time.

Love this idea! Fitness on Reddit became only about weight lifting, so I’m keen for this to cover all forms of health and fitness.

You mean one day people will die or leave the company? Or you think the company will change the policy?

- Comment on We compared the finances of 30-year-olds now, to 30-year-olds 30 years ago 6 months ago:
Yeah we’re similar. We’re 29/28, we own our house outright, and have 9 investment properties. But with interest rates what they are and the Mrs switching to part time work, we don’t know how we’re going to afford to buy our 10th investment property. We might have to compromise and make it an apartment 😭

This is a win for Mona and the artist. So much publicity. I wouldn’t be surprised if they asked a friend to sue them for the publicity.

Are you comparing a balanced option against a 100% stocks option? That’s hardly a fair comparison.
