Then eating roadside possum will cure you of not having something else. Also, have you considered swimming in sewerage?

Here’s a fantastic case for a union. There simply MUST be a minimum number of personnel looking after any given airspace for it to be considered safe, or the whole area gets shut down. It really is pure insanity, and no single person should be responsible for all flights at an airport. If something bad had happened who would get blamed? Who would live the rest of their life knowing they had been taken advantage of and put in a position where over a hundred lives were lost? It’s simply unacceptable that one person should bear that responsibility.

I recall he was left watching someone else’s screen while they went out for a break. He did notice the collision course but unfortunately gave one aircraft a direction that was the opposite of the TCAS directive, then missed further radio comms, so the confused crew followed the ATC order and collided with the other aircraft. I think that air traffic controller got hunted down and killed by the husband of one of the victims too… a horribly tragic story for all concerned really.

Huh?? If a streaming site (or any product for that matter) is free, the user is the product - be it their time, personal info, whatever. It is known and accepted that a “free” service will have a catch that allows the provider to make money.

If a user PAYS for a service it is expected that the payment is enough remuneration for there to be no strings attached. Of course companies will look for shitty ways to do shitty things to make more money, and those companies ought to be punished, generally by a reduction in customers, for their shitty behaviour.

Not sarcastic, but rereading it now I can see why you’d say that. I’m grateful for preferential voting because there were a lot of seats that had Liberal first preference majorities that swung on preference counts. I wasn’t actually aware that preferential voting came along 17 years after federation and that it was the states that gradually brought in compulsory voting… and now in wondering why, and what happened to cause us to shift away from the British model we were no doubt following beforehand. Thanks for the new rabbit hole!

This must what winning looks like.

Significantly partially. In January Dutton started to style himself after Trump, even going so far as getting tips from the GOP, after Trump’s win. However by mid-March Dutton was trying to backpedal rapidly but it was too late. Clearly not all his staff got the memo (esp Jacinta Price… oh dear) and everything he did or said could be met with a variation of “hold on, last week you were saying x”.

Also I’d like to once again say thanks to the founders that gave us compulsory, preferential voting.

It’s insane to me that the greatest threat to women is dating men

Yet men are the leading cause of death for women. You’re correct, it is absolutely insane, but until those types of men can sort out their fragile masculinity problems here we are unfortunately.
