Seems like Tinder is in an uber style free fall.

The best thing tinder/ the apps did was limit likes as it was a free for all being able to like everyone but they've progressively gotten more stingy with the amount of 'free' products, as well as seemingly use their analytics to minimise your ability to connect with others of similar interest...

I can't see this working until international traveller numbers skyrocket again. The domestic market is too small

Found myself in a zoom today and someone did an acknowledgement to country. Just seems a bit of an odd thing that has weaved its way into more electronic conferences lately. FWIW i think this Country could do a lot more to bring indigenous culture/ decision making within wider society and think...

Similar to the dot com bubble i think the general idea will find its place in society but will still likely crash at one point.

and an icebox/ wind tunnel if you live in Melbourne in the winter.

Interesting stuff, yep i agree light coloured roads sound good until their 5 year + mark. FWIW i think the government at Federal level needs to ensure any new house is a minimum 7.5 star rating. Its the absolute bare minimum to ensure people arent paying mortgage level energy bills.

Look forward to the house cooling down in May.

I think a good draftsperson/ architect is worth every $$. Seeing designs where every non-habitable area is located on the north/ east yet all habitable areas and the backyards are west facing.

6.5 is the absolute bare minimum, from people i've spoken to that do the assessments it should be 7.5 at least which would begin to see our buildings having somewhat better internal climatic control.

Think NSW has recently outlawed dark/ black roofs with good reason. One thing that strikes me is that there is none and no space for any trees. Those houses must almost blow up or crack after 15/20 years after dealing with extreme heat and cold with no protection.

Yep the west facing aspect for the house i am living in at the moment is a genuine killer. Heats up from 1:30pm and is just a furnace with residual heat until 7am the next morning. One thing to note in addition to the suns difference is the overall height during winter is a lot lower so a lot of...

Sitting typing this in a house that if not blasting with an AC anytime over 25 degrees is an oven and needs a heater anytime it drops below 15 (unless you put 5 layers on) and i can't think of an office, other house, or big building other than the old victorian terrace houses that doesn't...

Never had an issue with Tiger, but Jetstar f*ck me. Took about 20 flights with them in the past 10 years and a majority had some form of delay/ cancellation.

As far as i am aware ACA rates incredible numbers (for modern day tv standards) but has a discernible drop when they run 'proper' journalism stories. A generation or more of suburbia are hooked on this nonsense.

It's funny, anyone in the age of 40 - 60 has been bombarded with 25+ years of A Current Affair which have pushed the rhetoric of bad neighbours, can't trust anyone etc. You end up with these types being suss of everyone and this happens. GOLD

Nothing bonds the community more than a post about the amount of dog poo in the area.

The NIMBY aspect is underrated. Everyone loves the existing/ new cafe in town but god forbid outsiders or encourage more people to come to the suburb to use it. God forbid an apartment tower is proposed.

These types of groups have risen in prominence in the past few years seeking to bring the community together on an online platform. My experience with these groups is that most groups end up in a core group of posters always arguing about something meaningless, power hungry moderators and most...

Anzac Day will have a similar public sentiment to current Australia day (which is more date related) within the next 10-15 years. Massive sacrifice by the men and women who served or assisted, but there was no need for Australia to get involved and it ended up with a tonne of deaths, life long...

Aus and NZ need to jab its population ASAP.

Vaccine rates/ take up of the covid vaccine to date

All states, including those along the eastern states have done very well, particularly within the last 3 months to keep cases low-0 allowing some level of normality. I understand states have to be cautious about the prospect of another outbreak, but is it feasible to continuing with arbitrary...

Australia is incredibly lucky it is an island, as it gives an opportunity for any large scale breakouts to be contained with the ability to manage incoming individuals. It's become a cluster*uck in Europe and the US, and will likely be that way for 3-4 months. All talk on the vaccine seems to...

Without tourists our domestic market will be cooked. Simply isn't the demand outside of school holidays/ christmas/ easter to sustain more than a very modest industry. Particularly now as less business types will fly, rather resorting for zoom or similar platforms.

Bold move by NSW considering cases are slightly rising. Time will tell if it was smart/ silly.

, Dan should be on the blower to them right now. Pay a few million and get it here. Then make it mandatory for people to download it by virtue of needing it to go to pubs, cafe's etc (yeah some people will still whinge) If grandma doesn't have a smart phone just get ID... so it can be used...

Feel like an app might actually be a worthwhile initiative (if done right) to truly contract trace in Vic. Would be no more intrusive than the plethora of data we provide already.

Any word on the development of a vaccine? I know trials have started worldwide, but seems like very little has been said in the past month.

Just watched the cruise ship doco on Four Corners. Can't see any appeal in being stuck on a ship for long periods of time, where you are exposed to sup-par food, sup-par entertainment, and are at the mercy of a diarrhoea or pandemic.
