And bought coffee is the worst waste of money. Buy a couple of good quality thermos cups that seal tight and can be tossed into your bag without leaking. Make a couple of high-quality coffees at home in the morning and save at least $10 per day on bought coffee.

Is that really what gazumping means? I thought gazumping was when real estate agents accepted offers from other potential buyers after the owner already accepted an offer.

But that doesn't mean the vaccine has any effect on dementia. It might just be that the type of people who are willing to trust vacciunes are also likely to follow science's recommendations for preventing dementia

$1 M is barely enough for a house, leaving her with just $1M to get counselling, furniture, car and all the accoutrements of modern life. Her super will be tiny, so her old age will be poor. Lack of work history, career and network development has corroded her income earning ability.

My partner makes sound effects when he's taking off his socks... like a slingshot kinda sound... even when he doesn't know I'm listening. πŸ₯°

YES! If even the Productivity Commission is recommending it, it looks mighty suss when the government doesn't implement a policy that is well supported voters. Corporations are NOT people; they don't get a vote.

The crap on YT is in the shorts. The longer form videos seem togenerally be better quality.

I say that, but I'm also wondering if it's somehow an artifact of how the algorithm plays out for *my* demographic and watching patterns. Gen-Xer me, I find it easy to ignore comments.

With the disappearance of regional news papers and news services, it has become harder and harder to keep up to date with the mundane cogs of local government. Another artefact of Murdoch's damage to the media landscape.

Maybe people aren't buying their meat and veg at woolies.

Woolies assumes that people source their whole grocery list at Woolworths, but their observations are skewed significantly and not valid.

Tell us what Aldi is reporting. Tell us what butchers and farmers markets are reporting

Is it considered to have a rich past because those who used it were rich? Maybe the best way to refresh the site would be to find a mining company to accidentally demolish it?

I've noticed that the vast majority of woolworths' specials are snack foods.

I'm impressed that a bike could still function after a drop like that

I don't disagree, but he is just the head. Others in his parliament seemed to be more rabid

I hope that after we help them rebuild (funded by Israel's reparation payments), Palastinians end up with top class (efficient, sustainable, beautiful, comfortable, enduring) infrastructure and homes, debt free, US-Israel-fingers-free.

We need to hear this in more ways. Great article.

I'd be interested to hear about statistics on indicators of multiculturalism (beyond population and restaurant numbers). Is there a sociology uni study out there? I'd also like more about what better quality multiculturalism *looks* like.

Further ensh1tification of life in the US: limiting residents further and further to commercial, profit-driven services

What is sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander. Donny, you should demonstrate your fitness for the job by showing us a few squats and crunches at the start of your next press conference.

Mental fitness test might be a good thing. Not every old person has dementia but its prevalence is increasing and presidents are frequently in the age bracket

I keep seeing the Spanish new services breaking interesting US and UK developments earlier than the English language news.

We should have done this stuff decades ago. It's not as if these ideas weren't raised back then.

The commercial news organisations have undermined their credibility for years. Non-profits also frequently appear partisan and click-baity, but at least I get a view from a different position
