Norfolk Island is part of Australia. Logically it would be swept up in the 10% tariff on Australia. It has no exports to the US, that being the US government's justification for tariffs over 10%, let alone an individual 29% tariff. A

Heard Island and McDonald Islands, two Australian territories inhabited only by penguins, get singled out for a 10% tariff. Norfolk Island, an Australian community of 3000 with no exports to the US, gets its own 29% tariff. They're ex

According to Andrew Forrest we don't. His view is that there are 999 people in the world, plus himself, who are responsible for climate change and could fix it if they chose to. https://www.smh.com.au/environment/

If he's going to go the religious route, there's also 'Vinnies" (the St Vincent de Paul Society). They exist exactly for the purpose of getting people back on their feet and are pretty well everywhere, including Utah:

Get checked for keratosis? Prescription lenses make certain assumption about the shape of your eye. Keratosis means your eye is a slightly wonky shape and doesn't fit the "spherical with cylindrical astigmatism" model, so a

One of the standouts being the syndicate run by David Walsh (of MONA fame) and Zeljko Ranogajec. They made money because the rebates swung the odds in their favour [1]. My take is that: the syndicate wins because the odds were swung in the

As predicted in Piketty's book "Capital in the Twenty-First Century". He posited that wealth trumps labour and the post-war period was an anomaly. His proposed solution is a wealth tax. I can't see those with wealth&#

Thanks for the link to the paper. I notice that the abstract has a link to the page for the upcoming trial: https://clinicaltrials.gov/study/NCT06816927 It will be interesting to follow its progress.

From what I read (in a book written by Scolyer), the treatment didn't involve chemo. It was along the lines of: 1. immunotherapy 2. Surgery to remove the bulk of the tumour. 3. More immunotherapy 4. Radiation therapy 5. A course

This one is an unusual case, as the clinical trial is coming after the first patient (Scolyer) was treated. It's also interesting due to its aspect of "Physician, heal thyself", as Scolyer's own research formed the basi

There's a specific tool for this. It works similarly to a spoon or knife, but it reduces the odds of cracking the jar or slipping and putting a knife through your hand. https://avantihomewares.com/jar-opener-blue/

This makes perfect economic sense, without any environmental arguments. Rooftop solar now produces 11.2% of the electricity in the Australian market [1], as it's the cheapest source of electricity. That percentage is not a peak value,

Is it true to say that in practise there are no laws here? If anyone in DOGE breaks the law, can't the President just issue a blanket pardon? If the President himself breaks the law, he argues that it was in the course of his official

The Leaf has just been discontinued and Nissan is running out the remaining stock at about 30% discount, making it one of the cheapest EVs in the market where I live. If it's the car you want, now's a good time to buy a Leaf.
