We were traveling in Austria last year and this is apparently the norm there. Every hotel had separate “single” duvets on each half of the bed.
- Comment on More Americans are financing groceries with buy now, pay later loans — and more are paying those bills late, survey says 1 day ago:
The reason that the rich were so rich, Vimes reasoned, was because they managed to spend less money. Take boots, for example. … A really good pair of leather boots cost fifty dollars. But an affordable pair of boots, which were sort of OK for a season or two and then leaked like hell when the cardboard gave out, cost about ten dollars. … But the thing was that good boots lasted for years and years. A man who could afford fifty dollars had a pair of boots that’d still be keeping his feet dry in ten years’ time, while a poor man who could only afford cheap boots would have spent a hundred dollars on boots in the same time and would still have wet feet. This was the Captain Samuel Vimes ‘Boots’ theory of socio-economic unfairness.

And how did things eventually work out for Caesar?
- Comment on New modelling reveals full impact of Trump’s ‘Liberation Day’ tariffs – with the US hit hardest 3 weeks ago:
Also Australia is actually trading at a deficit with the USA. We buy way more from them than they buy from us. Which shows this narrative of Trump to reduce the trade deficit is bullshit.
For this reason though I don’t think Australia will do retaliatory tariffs. Why hurt ourselves more when the USA is less than 5% of our exports?

Stop political grifters with this one simple trick.
USA take note.

Time for the G6 I guess.

Just the stasi doing stasi shit. Nothing to see here.

Da fuq? Russia started this. Russia should pay. Take their money from escrow.
- Comment on A young computer scientist and two colleagues show that searches within data structures called hash tables can be much faster than previously deemed possible. 2 months ago:
What are you on about? The first paragraph says hash tables are “widely used” and the second says they are “common”.
“Data structures called hash tables” seems to just be a factual statement of what we’re dealing with, especially for people who are not programmers.

What could possibly go wrong?
- Comment on Best Food 2 months ago:
7/11 food in Japan was insanely good when I was there a year ago. And it looked like they would put fresh food out every couple of hours.

- Comment on BACK IT UP 5 months ago:
Yeah it’s the FDA keeping people from exercising.
What he’s missing is that people who want raw milk are already finding ways to get it. And people who understand the safety issues won’t buy it.
There might be some real self selection and culling of the right wing heard about to happen. Maybe this is for the greater good after all?
- Comment on Australia struggling with oversupply of solar power 5 months ago:
This is a problem created by the suppliers who have kept jacking up prices. What else are people going to do? And the last few years they’ve upped the daily connection fee so you have to pay them regardless if you use energy or not.
Privatization was a huge mistake… thanks LNP.

- Comment on Who was our best Prime Minister and why? 5 months ago:
I personally vote for the parties I want, not the person. But the USA election should be a big warning call to Labor. If they don’t do something about inflation and affordability and hold some of the big corps to account, they’re going to lose.
Which reminds me. We haven’t had a prime minister backstabbing in a while

If you email this to mr Cage there’s a 50/50 chance he’ll go for it. 100% chance if it ends up in his spam folder but he somehow still comes across it.
