Assuming this isn't trolling..... There's a lot of factors that determine how sick someone gets from COVID. Vaccination status is a major predictor but most definitely not the only factor.

Or the subject starting with re:

Probs wasn't a real interview, especially if they asked lots of questions about "how would you do this......"

Get to the train station with time to buy a coffee. Dickhead with a s**t haircut just beats me to the front of the line. Still should be enough time to get a coffee. Dickhead takes ages to order ("uuuuuummmmm"), trying to pay, can't find the wallet app on phone in the sun, then can't get it...

I've been working my through them over the last 12 months or so. Fashion is dated, sure. But I think nineties fashion in general was crap looking back, it picked up around 2006 and is just starting to get s**t again. Comedy dates. But surprisingly, Seinfeld not so much. The plotlines and...

When you catch a boat from New Zealand's North Island to its South Island, you actually end up further north when you get off the boat than when you got on.

Yeah as a general rule, I would tell my younger self to "say Yes to life" a bit more often - not just with picking up but opportunities in general.

Of course it isn't, I'm suggesting it has other benefits though. I'm not saying this is the right way of doing it, but consider, as a thought experiment, a day where all but the essentials are closed. You could legislate that rents, mortgages and all that stuff are reduced proportionally. (Yes...

I'd suggest the over casualisation of the work force is the much bigger issue than having one or two days off in the year.

gotta feed that capitalist machine....

Yeah, even if we take religion out of it, I too like the idea of a day here and there where there is next to nothing open. I for one liked having no footy on Good Friday. If for no other reason than for us all to take a breath and be people again, instead of just consumers. It's good for our...

Haha watching this now, saw that ep last night. Great show so far......

Well no, that's quite a leap of logic you're taking there. I'm not a cheerleader who picks sides, just someone who likes to explore all the ins and outs of given topics.

The way they intersect is far from random, so I think it is a factor.

It is very much academic in its prose (as in precise, detailed and repetitive to the point of being less readable than it should be.) I think once you get the gist of what each chapter is trying to tell you, you can skim a bit and read the summary at the end. One of those books that everyone...

People who send screenshots of things of interest they want you to look into (tv shows, restaurants, etc) instead of hyperlinks. Pisses me off.

The timely actions of the crew ensured the bridge was closed to traffic before they hit.

You forgot to mention the biggest crime of all: Dealer 22 being a push in Blackjack 'Plus'.

Big difference is articles that are more than 20 words long and an absence of hyperlinks!

Yeah I did caving once - started just walk around and then it got real with all the squeezing and squatting etc. It was kind of cool when you were in there - that was your world for the hour or so. But when it was time to surface, and we had the option of doing a bit more or going up toward the...

Sounds pretty awful. Will be interesting to see if anyone gets prison time.

Already heard on the radio this morning that the mine went broke and was purchased by a hedge fund. Management subsequently made safety manager redundant but put in no replacement or equivalent.

In pure terms of raw number of years, a drawing/picture/etc of a T Rex hanging out with a Stegosaurus is more anachronistic than that of a T Rex watching the footy on a smart phone.

Belongs in the things that make you happy thread, but normally, that little sound at the end of the wash gives me just that little bit of anxiety. (Oh s**t, gotta hang it out now). The other day I did a drum clean cycle, and the finishing jingle somehow sounded like a sweet tune. 😁

yep

I was still at school when it came out. I read the paper to see how it worked, and after a quick bit of analysis, I said "this is s**t, this can't be right". The first thing I noticed were the potential "dead rubbers". School kid's analysis. Those games (4v5, 3v6) therefore always had to be...

The Ukrainian edition of Scrabble is the only one to include an apostrophe tile, and it is worth ten points.

Not really pointless or trivial, but interesting nonetheless: A damaged Australian banknote that has part of it missing, is worth the percentage in area that remains, multiplied by the note's face value - and can be redeemed as such at a bank, who have special equipment to measure this. The...

100% Whether it is a city, a food, an experience - as we get older we accumulate more "done that" items and it's harder (in some ways) to feel excited about things. That's why sometimes having that child-like appreciation and awe of the things we do can really make us happier people. Not always...

How did we all go?
