Speaking of fat herbivores organs, anyone heading to Cheesefest today?
Not going this year but have been in the past.

I can't remember which stall it was last time I went but there was a woman handing out freshly made mozzarella. Best mozzarella I have ever eaten.

Here's how it should be done.
I'd even suggest switching Like & Reply to make it more intuitive.

I'm with Portia on this one. We read left to right, so placing most commonly used on left is more intuitive.

Intuitive means how you 'read' it is irrelevant when designing a good UX.
Elements should be where the majority of users expect them to be, not in the order of how we read information.
It's more about muscle memory than legibility/readability.

Bullshit.
Swim at Mindil Beach during the dry all the time.
Used to take my dog Rooster and a tennis ball, throw the tennis ball out as far as I could and if Rooster came back I'd have a swim. Water is clear that time of year you can see the crocs anyway.
Well this was last week lol...

Demand for premium Australian wine slowly picking up in export markets

"Growing interest by consumers in premium wines was a contributing factor in wine exports in the $7.50 to $9.99 price segment increasing by 8 per cent to 15 million litres," Mr Clark (AWGA CEO) said.

Since when have wines under $10 a bottle been considered premium? :confused:
Listen to the audio attached to the written story and they don't match up. Andreas Clarke said
"we've seen some growth in the higher price segment,
for example from $7.50 to $9.99 price segment we've seen an increase
of 8%, and above $10 we've seen an increase of 6%....."

Also the story is silent if that is the price for the consumer living O's or its the amount received by the exporter. Most Oz wine is sold in bulk and bottled offshore. The story said "Overall, exports of Australian wine were up just slightly in the year to the end of September, increasing 0.7 per cent to 688 million litres, worth a total value of $1.78 billion" that means the exporter on average is getting around $2.50/litre.
