Most likely Hawkesbury River, although the harbour would be nice.

For those of you who can work with their hands and would like a boat. I am all thumbs but seriously considering signing up at the local mens shed. http://www.dhylanboats.com/design/plans/oonagh_plans/

That's a pretty strange youth hostel. Nice private rooms though. They even throw in a complimentary bottle of water and bedding. Seriously though, I'd love a comparison between the conditions in the prisons for the whites and then the prisons for the blacks at the same date. Then a comparison to what it's like now.

You can't translate salaries like that, it's meaningless because you're not factoring in cost of living which has a massive impact on salaries; you have to compare what it costs to live there against what you would expect to earn.Just use numbeo for cost of living comparison, then check some salary surveys covering your profession.

Perthes?

Came across it in relation to these guys: https://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-14475985

Surely you mean Featherstonhaugh?

Evolution is not based on reason or logic, or some sort of intelligent design principles. Dumb **** often happens. Look at Panda bears and their carnivorous gut paired with a low nutrition diet of bamboo. Look at the laryngeal nerve of Giraffes. You can do whatever you like. If it keeps you alive long enough to propagate your genes, job's a good un. Evolution is a a dead end argument when applied to humans because we adapt our environment to us, not the other way around. I respect vegans for taking a stand against industrial farming and cruelty; I wish I was principled enough, but I'm too lazy, I like meat too much and viable alternatives are currently too expensive. But don't come with pseudo-scientific rubbish. It really leaves a bad taste in one's mouth, more so when you try to marshal your arguments on a scientific basis. This muddle headed, ignorant and low-effort approach is why we had idiots that support anti-vaxxers and think that Bill Gates is trying to implant people with microchips. You're part of the problem.

It doesn't make sense to speak of drinking milk in terms of whether or not we're "meant" to drink it; there's no set of universal laws around consumption that we must abide by. If you apply your "milk is for babies" logic, fruit is the seed bearing structure for plants intended to disseminate seeds so naughty humans can't eat them. Absolutism is stupid. Edit: forgot to add that you 100% introduced the notion that milk is a major factor in osteoporosis in a way which made it clear you meant it as a statement rather than a question. Don't play games. It's annoying.

My dude (dudette?). Seriously. There is some SUSPICION that proteins in milk MAY affect the amount of calcium being absorbed, but that is about as close as it is possible to get to being the OPPOSITE of your statement that milk consumption is a huge factor in osteoporosis. If you're going to post definitive statements just spend 5 minutes Googling to make sure they're roughly correct. Karen on Facebook will read this and stop giving her gluten-free, macro-nutrient kids the milk that they desperately need.

Aah, the dot com bubble. Good times. Good times.

No waste? The pods are themselves waste! Every cup of coffee has an accompanying plastic container!

Wow. Those are nice.

That looks like a cool race!

What else would you like to work for?

I am now looking into this and I'm wondering what has happened in relation to the rumours that the whole financial emigration procedure was going to be scrapped in 2021? Anyone recently gone through the process?

This is the correct response.

Stolen car. They couldn't give rocks about a roofrack.

Seems like you already know the answers to your questions. If you didn't have your dogs would you have jumped ship? Separate the emotions from the facts. Emotions can be dealt with and are subjective, but facts don't change no matter how you feel about them.

Vewy vewy quiet...

Just checking in to see how intern feels about the NZ lockdown being lifted...

Yeah...nah. I'm not an armchari epidemiologist. I just understand addition, multiplication and basic statistics. Here's a guy who is an actual epidemiologist who crisply outlines why every country in the world reacted the way they did. The CFR in his article is from early on so it's like just over three percent and I think it's now assumed to be around 2, but that doesn't significantly affect things. http://blog.deonandan.com/wordpress/2020/03/covid19-whats-the-end-game.html?fbclid=IwAR0NElofcQbtAsgv_TPhb6tlB5N7zwncI3zpWiqhVugQShTnbdtE9atf_Uk

yeah but...

No. That's not what I was getting at. We have robust models of infectious disease spread which rely on statistical methods. We can also make predictions about both the number of people a given disease will kill and also how much capacity health systems have. If you combine all of that with guesstimates about the number of people that are going to require some sot of clinical intervention you can work out whether or not a healthcare system is going to be overwhelmed. By overwhelmed, I mean hospitals so full they can't function and then everyone in there starts to die, not just the people that would have died anyway when they caught the disease. It's literally that simple. That's why pretty much every country is taking drastic measures instead of doing nothing. In other words, from any perspective, economic/social/health it's worse to do nothing. It's not an argument about some technical point about the nature of the disease. It's simple hard mathematical facts, not guesswork or hypotheses. They look at the numbers and then determine a cause of action at the time of measurement. It's the most rational behaviour one can imagine. Not doing so is political
