    A few reasons. The vendor wasn't maintaining it that well, I think it had been sold at some point and they kind of lost interest. It was a bit of pain to maintain as co-ordinating add-ons with the app could lead to issues. We were uncomfortable with the permissions that it needed to get it to...

    yeah.... but twin studies are usually around where genetically identical people have experienced different environmental factors. If identical twins are the gold standard, the ultimate platinum standard are identical twins separated at birth. Given that they are identical, then sadly it seems...

    Being an identical twin increases the risk five-fold on top the risk you have already highlighted

    Oppo Camp Non Geelong football (AFL) discussion 2025, Part 1

    He was an ambassador for a suicide prevention organisation years before Troy's death. Genetics are also a major contributor to the likelihood of developing depression, and being an identical twin of someone who has succumbed to depression increases your risk five-fold compared to non-identical...

    Oppo Camp Non Geelong football (AFL) discussion 2025, Part 1

    Tragic news, I hate to imagine what emotions Joel, Scott and their parents Bryce and Maree have one through in the last 3 months. An of course Adam's own family. RIP

    2025 Federal Election: A Pox o'....Just one of your houses, apparently.

    You've been watching too many mid-90's spy dramas! I do work in this industry and I'm 100% confident this can be done securely - the idea of script kiddies is a nonsense, the real threat would be from nation state actors, but this is already true for all government agencies, banks, utilities...

    Australias tax system takes from the young to give to the old

    And they are already legislated to be adjusted again in 26/27, but you know, alternative facts.

    2025 Federal Election: A Pox o'....Just one of your houses, apparently.

    or we embrace the 21st century and adopt electronic voting - having been in France during a presidential election, it was amazing to be watching the news and they announce the winner immediately after the polls closed - like it was a round of Pointless.

    The Liberal Party - How long? - Part 2

    WTF? Export of education is a business that goes to the general revenue of the country profits all of Australia and has much to do the (noble) principal of free education for all australian kids as it does with the argument that Collingwood get too many games at the G.

    The Liberal Party - How long? - Part 2

    It is, but it is a benign cancer. In the US a massive part of any campaign is just simply to get people to vote and to do that, they really push hard on the emotional front, angry motivated people are far more likely to vote than people's whose life is going along comfortably. So the Republicans...

    Injury Season 2025 - Geelong Injury Thread

    We'd all love certainty on the injury front, player x is 4 weeks, player y is 1 week, and it is frustrating that we dont have that. But the reality is doctors and physios are practitioners in probability, they're not mechanics working on a car - and there are so many factors that go into...

    Hard - but the role is basically untenable if most of your colleagues want you gone.

    Next Liberal leader - 2025

    Everything she did as environment minister was self-seeking. The only time she ever engaged with the BOM was for photo ops. However she was not the worst environment minister, that belongs to Melissa Price - who literally did nothing - never bothered meeting the director of the BOM during her...

    The Liberal Party - How long? - Part 2

    All this shows that kranky al is correct here - maybe not about the guns, but about the need for debate in political discourse. The liberals have shot themselves in the foot with this one (pun intended) and resurrecting them is not the answer.

    Need the second-coming of Don Chipp to fill that space that the Libs have vacated.

    You are obviously passionate about this, but what actual piece of the legislation is too restrictive?

    A placeholder it might be, but you dont want a nut job in the role, you'll just go further behind. Bland incompetence would be preferable.

    The Liberal Party - How long? - Part 2

    A party is made up of people of shared common values and beliefs, if there are "not enough of you" in the party - then you are in the wrong party.

    The coalition will never win the federal government again.

    Regional cities, not capital cities. The Nats statement on what they stand for is "We believe the future of regional Australia is critical to the future of our nation" - talk of them moving into the capitals and becoming truly national is at odds with that statement and such a move risks...

    The coalition will never win the federal government again.

    Why is that a given? At the start of 1941 the United Australia Party was the governing party. Four years later they disappeared forever. Why cant history repeat itself?

    The Liberal Party - How long? - Part 2

    Yeah bad, still not as bad as some of the rules elsewhere. Was reading about "unincorporated associations" in the uk. These things can donate up to about 32,000 pounds and while it has to be declared, the source of money doesn't have to be. An "unincorporated association" is a group of people...

    List Mgmt. Welcome Bailey Smith - officially (and finally) traded to Geelong

    I heard an interview with Peter Gordon a few years ago and he was asked this. He said that the dogs would make substantially more money playing the odd match at KP rather than playing at Docklands and it wouldn't be too bad for their supporters, however the AFL needed them to play at Docklands...

    The Liberal Party - How long? - Part 2

    Although they do want to get elected, there are a number of players on that team whose bigger want is to impose their own/factional warped ideology - winning is a means to get there and the Liberal party is the vessel to do it. But they know they if they agree to 'temper' that ideology too much...

    The Liberal Party - How long? - Part 2

    You're saying all of this as if the Liberal party were a footy team with a coach who can just trade in a few players, trade out a few trouble makers and institute a well thought out game plan. When in reality, if they were a football team, they wouldn't have a coach. They would just be the...

    The Liberal Party - How long? - Part 2

    Traditionally the Libs were the party you would go to when you needed a firm hand on the tiller of conservative economic management and Labor was for when times were good and you could spend a bit more. The Libs have now lost that credibility. Perhaps people think that Labor could do a bit...

    Review Cats hang on by 3 points to beat Pies

    Credit to the maggies - they really new what they were doing in those last three minutes - it wasn't just bomb it long and hope. We were like deer in a spotlight. We dodged a bullet, but we are rather good at dodging bullets, it's not just luck.
