Any day now Joe, c'mon man!
  • People will put change into a jar at the front of a cafe if they want, usually a dollar or so. Sometimes the money is for a charity run and not even for the cafe. At a fine dining restaurant yes you'd probably tip for great service.

    At a bar for instance you wouldn't tip. That would be strange.

  • Federal Coalition commits to dumping 2030 climate target as it pursues nuclear power
  • If the Teals have the funding behind them of course, but because they are not an organised party, it would be difficult for them to run a campaign and gather enough support.

    2022 was very good for the independents, but overall, that's not a common result. The Teals pretty much fill the vacuum between Labour's centre right MPs, and Dutton's wacky right wingers

  • Federal Coalition commits to dumping 2030 climate target as it pursues nuclear power
  • So they don't want to get into government.

    They won't have a path to 76 seats if they can't win back the Teal seats. Seems like they've given up on that, and they are trying to rally their right wing base in QLD just to keep hold of that region.

  • What is it about the text messages and emails sent by older people that make me feel like I'm having a stroke?
  • It's about as annoying as young people abandoning any and all punctuation entirely the amount of people that will write an entire paragraph and not use a single period is obscene if you can't bother to organize your thoughts in the most minimal way I'm going to assume you have nothing of worth to say and just won't read it and frankly, if what you're saying is so boiler plate you don't need punctuation then you really don't have anything to add so probably just shouldn't

  • Conservative Owns the Libs by Paying $4,000 a Month for His Ford F-350
  • Most vans have a greater payload than a lot of 4 door duel cabs, they offer more storage, more security,a lower loading floor height, more accessibility with side access and greater resale.

    But yeah gotta get my Chevy.

  • Conservative Owns the Libs by Paying $4,000 a Month for His Ford F-350
  • In Australia the "Liberals" are the centre right capitalist centric party. We do have better terms like social progressives, socialists and social-democrats, but even with this, it's all relative terms. Everyone's different in their own ways.

  • Australia's first solar garden sprouts in Grong Grong, taking the renewables boom to the community
  • So a non refundable return of over 10% with an expected break even at year 10. Hmm, that's not a good investment. Also I adds no value to your property.

    I'm gonna call it, the farmer put up $100k in solar and sold it for $200k with a dividend plan for what it produces.

  • There's a baby drought in Australia. Maybe we should fund IVF?
  • Government financed IVF will not solve the birth decline, nor will a plethora of government carrots and incentives for short term fixes. Because Australia has a long tradition with immigration I don't see low birth rates as a dire problem, it is bad news for older homogenous societies like Russia, China and Japan. What will be necessary though is a shift in our composition of tax policies and handouts. Much more tax collections will have to come from non personal income.

  • Who to vote for?
  • The beauty of preferential voting is that the major parties are incentivised to cater for their opinions to gain more first preference votes in the next election. Climate change was frankly a non issue 15 years ago, now where I am in Kooyong (now with a teal independent), it would be impossible for a candidate to win without a climate policy. Victorian liberals tend to be much more moderate (think Frydenburg) than your Queensland liberals (Mr Potato head).

    Last time I went to the polls I voted in order, Greens, Teal, Labor, Liberal, right wing independents.

    Some seats are safe seats, in that case parties are less incentivised to throw money at your electorate. In marginal seats like Kooyong you'll see a corflute sign on every corner, and will get doorknocked every second day by a volunteer.

    The best thing you can do is volunteer. The teals would not have won without thousands of volunteers doorknocking.

  • O.J. Simpson, Athlete Whose Trial Riveted the Nation, Dies at 76
  • Person who was charged and put on trial for murder died. It's a legal term. Journalists can get sued for defamation for blatantly calling someone who is not convicted a rapist or murderer. You can safely call OJ an armed robber and kidnapper though.

    That's why the talking heads on tv tend to dance around the terminology and say "allegedly" and "accused of"
