I’m guessing most of the Beehaws at least have duplicates since they cut themselves off.

Dude I had no idea implants for chickens existed that’s insane. If I ever got chickens we would be matching.

You’re probably right - the inflation rates were low for a long time so to get that high from indexation on a 100k loan would be pretty unlikely.

Heresy but I’d eat them if I had rescue hens that weren’t interested in eating them. Would probably feed them back their shells though.

Probably medical degrees etc. However, if I were to do a masters in CS it would be 70k so my total debt would be up to something like 110k. Thus, if I do a masters it will be a cheap US-based one I can cashflow because that’s just a stupid amount of debt.

Yeah I assume the reason there isn’t is because the general ones are US-centric by default and then everyone else has to have somewhere specific to go. But I guess if they want their own dedicated place too why not?

It’s the plagues.

A lot of romance novels. Not too surprising I guess.

For the reasons you mentioned about the quietness of it it wasn’t really for me. I went into the movie hoping not necessarily for action but for a little more sciencey stuff and it didn’t really have that or explain anything. As you said, the sci-fi element is just dressing - it could easily have been set in any other sort of world.

It’s hard to turn more conservative without actually owning a stake in anything as our parents did.

So it’s for US tourism only?

I dunno I’d rather be able to afford a house than have spaceships talk.

Sidenote: I love the little arrows you had for links, how did you achieve that?

I got nothing to add to this but what a damn shame.

Do we really need more regulation in Australia?

I’d hazard a guess that it does.

There’s an app that does this pretty well called Ground News. For a given topic it will show the coverage across the political spectrum. However, I didn’t think that this community was limited to English? Either way, I guess you could start putting one together.

Absolutely the dream! I’ll never afford a house in my hometown nowadays.

Thank you! Yeah my mum went from commuting 2 hours each way to being able to make exercise in the morning, cook good healthy food and spend more time with us than she has since she stopped being a SAHM 16 years ago. I don’t see why anyone would prioritise office interactions over that.

I don’t think it makes sense to vote for something you don’t believe in just because others you disagree with will make the same vote.
