While no doubt we could’ve done a lot worse, this still reads like a satirical headline to me

I was going to post this as its own submission, but the title is so long it doesn’t even fit in the submission length lol:

Betoota Advocate: Malcolm Turnbull wins the hearts and minds of the bush by calling the Nats ‘pig headed scatterbrained vacuous fools’ who are ‘fundamentally eroding the geometric topology of the nation’s Coalition agreement’

Idk, this seems more like underseas news than overseas news?

(it actually just seems like domestic news)

Based on my recollection of the PDS (remember that I read these 4 months ago), the cost of hedging is built into the fee shown in my table.

Afaik they’re not currently offering an unhedged version of these ones. The cost of hedging is pretty small in absolute terms though, for Blackrock’s other stuff I think it’s around 0.03% difference between the hedged/unhedged.

The hedging cost should be part of the fee?

It actually sounds like the van’s panels (I’m guessing especially the large roof panel) can provide non-trivial power:

“Even if I’m stuck somewhere we just have to wait a couple of hours and it’ll self charge and bring me home.” (emphasis added)

No doubt the huge array of panels on his roof can give it a lot more juice though!

It’s hard to compete in a niche where there’s already a well-established incumbent (OzBargain). Almost everything submitted there is just links to the site anyway, which seems superfluous.

Yeah the titles from ABC News are generally… not my personal choice these days, but I guess they feel the need to play whatever the title game is.

Did you actually read through the article, or are you just assuming the contents based on the (admittedly mildly clickbait-y) title?

Covid, yes, but not widespread lockdowns (and some other stuff from the “early covid” period) which is basically what the article is reflecting on. For example, I hadn’t really thought about how it could affect child social development due to significantly reduced social exposure.

This isn’t really a “covid is over” piece. ‘It’s still a serious human pathogen’ wouldn’t be a sub-heading if it was.

It’s a mixed bag (haha). Sometimes they do a decent job, sometimes not so much.

It’s funny when the two of us more-or-less agree on the summary. Nonetheless, whoever reads both often ends up just basically reading the original lol.

I agree it’s a useful insight, but it’s the only sentence in the entire article that isn’t instead discussing the merits of lump sum vs regular payment. Saying that “it’s the takeaway” from the linked article is insanity.

The Wikipedia page for Hitler includes the sentence:

The stock market in the United States crashed on 24 October 1929.

That doesn’t make it the takeaway of the article!! If you want to make a case for something, bring the right evidence. As the researchers themselves have said, this study can’t just be generalized to high-income countries.

Holy shit, half, and they nearly shut down. I hope that’s not just going to be a death-spiral for them, where losing that many staff ends up killing the company anyway :(

I try 🫠

I noticed the same and just assumed that was when maintenance tasks were scheduled, but that’s wild speculation lol.

In terms of spiciness, my impression was no. If I hadn’t looked at the ingredients, I wouldn’t have guessed there was any in there.

I had a few of these a couple weeks ago (someone I know bought a packet) - the baking soda (?) seems to be what makes it “kinda ginger beer” instead of just “ginger”.
