My friends who grew up outside Oz find it weird that to me “it ain’t Christmas unless it’s scorching hot”. To me the idea of having a cold Christmas is the odd one.

Value is correct in this instance, I think.

The number of shares and the price people are willing to pay for those shares is how “value” is calculated, I think.

In contrast, “wealth” would be how much money they have in the bank.

Why not just have both a male and female voice, and ideally one that’s as neutral as possible?

I’s often just carnal desire which results in the death of something to the tune of ~80 billion (with a “B”) animals every year that didn’t really need to be slaughtered.

I’m genuinely curious: what’s the vegans’ answer to the question of “what happens to the cattle and other livestock if everyone on the planet turned vegan tomorrow?”. It’s not like they can just be let loose…

Realistically the amount of livestock is not sustainable and they’d need to be culled in gargantuan numbers so that they don’t go from a “managed” ecological disaster to an “out of control” ecological disaster. And then you get the slaughter without the benefit of feeding billions of hungry people.

The “M” would be for mezzanine, which is usually either a floor that’s small or at an intermediate height between main floors.

or any democracy for that matter

Australia sends its regards.

It is really nice knowing that I can safely vote for our “green” party without risking our conservative party getting in because the centre-left party loses too many votes.

Also, voting being mandatory (and very accessible) and on a Sunday for federal elections is such a game changer for ensuring participation.

Hopefully you guys can get reforms in at some point.

Life before death, Radiant.

I have two moods for this:

One is a playlist composed of most of the library of songs by PVRIS. I don’t know why, but their music just really clicks with me; I can listen to that playlist all day with no problems (I usually hate listening to the same song more than once or twice a day).

The other is a playlist of non-combat music from The Elder Scrolls. Really good for gentle background music.

Consider the TV show another turning of the Wheel. Nothing in it prevents you from enjoying the Source.

And because Dems support Ukraine.

Interesting choice. As much as I love the setting, I couldn’t see myself living in a place that has hurricanes on a weekly basis.

I’m guessing it’s the manager of the former manager.

Chicken salt on chips is basically mandatory in my part of Aus. No idea what you’re talking about there.

Why on earth would you want fish and chips in actual newspaper? I hate the idea of getting that ink on my food.

Every fish and chip shop I’ve been to either does the boxes shown or butcher’s paper.

As a teenager I ironically started saying “howdy” as a greeting. It’s now decades later and I still can’t break the habit.

I am in no way from the US, let alone parts of it that would say howdy on a regular basis.

People debate whether we landed on the moon - one of the wisest watched televised events ever. I would be surprised if a Livestream of him doing just that would be enough to avoid dozens of conspiracy theories.

I’m a locksmith, and, I’m a locksmith.

I remember playing the sequel when I was younger and remember having a blast. I don’t know of a good dragonriding / sword & sorcery game that’s come out in ages, so a remake of these games would be amazing.

Adios ASIO

I’m pretty sure I read an article a couple of weeks ago about that exact scenario happening.
