Someone among Linda Reynolds' advisors should have had the courage to tell her that persisting with this defamation trial, especially in the wake of the Bruce Lehrmann trial, is really shitty optics.

And the fact that they tried to make it all about alleging that Higgins wanted to bring down the government, while putting Reynolds into the role of the victim, makes it even worse.

I really hope Reynolds fails in this trial.

She obviously means for the government to just subside on the existing mining royalties, while also abolishing certain taxes, the act of which will surely help pay for all her lofty fantasies.

 

Now why they ask people like Gina Rinehart to present a 'defence and economic blueprint' is anyone's guess.

It is surprisingly easy to not order things off of Amazon, too.

Then we also need to talk about Sodum, Potassum, Magnesum, Plutonum, Uranum, Cadmum, Chromum, Titanum and a bunch more. Why should Aluminum be the outlier?

That's because in tech, reasonably experienced workers have very high mobility. And a lot of tech companies who tried to mandate RTO have experienced significant brain drain.

Three of four Pro Pinball games are available on GOG. They're probably on the more realistic side of pinball games, effectively simulating a single table down to aspects like scratching, aging and blemishes. That's all optional though, you can just install and play. I don't know how well they've aged since it's been a few years since I last touched one of them. But I've always found them fun, with great visuals and sound, even though I'm pretty inept at pinball in general.

You could almost be forgiven for not realising that every point on that Y axis is a mere half percent...

I'm 46 and a PC gamer, but I don't give a shit what platform anyone plays on. This "PC master race" stuff is infantile bullshit and needs to disappear.

Real estate as an investment, retirement provision or object of speculation is precisely the problem. Every home that gets bought as an investment in an inflated housing market directly contributes to the problem, by cutting people out of the opportunity of ownership and making them dependent on paying rent.
