I think the sequels are easy to ignore and tolerable bycatch if it means you get strong films amongst them - Batman Begins, Dark Knight, Dark Knight Rises, Logan, Infinity War (even just for a great villain), and (last but definitely not le

I've had a drone taken down by an eagle. But I've also had larger eagles completely ignore drones coming quite close to them because they don't think it's food or a threat.

Read when you're fresh (set your alarm earlier and read before you get out of bed) rather than when you're tired at the end of the day. Use a habit tracking app (mine is Streaks on iOS). If tired, walking around the house while re

My 9 and 11 year olds have no real homework (primary school in Australia) which seems to be public school policy for this age group. Rarely, it's 10 minutes on one night in a week; they often ask for homework and are enthusiastic if gi

That's furniture and not a house though. I'd guess that the average estate being that low value is not including outright-owned property/land. It's old people with a 20 year old car they've nursed through retirement

A mortgage as a tool is available to you. If you refuse to go into debt, is that societal failure? Affordability of housing is a serious issue, but I'm not sure expecting to buy property without debt is necessarily so. It seems like a

A friend's mother fell for one of these largely because she'd contacted her ISP earlier that day about a problem and was expecting a call back. Very unfortunate.

Which is why taking on debt to buy property is often a good option - you lock in prices, then they rise. Where I live, house prices double in value every ten years, quite reliably. Recently, it's been faster. In ten years, you're

I assumed they were suggesting that they knew that it would be best to leave the company and didn't hang around. e.g., "If you know [hanging around will be a waste of time], you know [enough that you should leave]."

Not enough information from the primary example in the article, but I agree that cost of living would be a huge pressure in general. Certainly 20yo and up. And social media pushes quick fixes rather than the typical long haul of university

Further, perhaps quite a lot of marketing is certainly exaggerated and I wonder how wine gets singled out. Think about how feminine hygiene products are marketed with frolicking white-dressed women, or cars tearing across the landscape, App

It's not that it's bullshit, it's more that it's possible that you are not able to discern or inclined to care or a combination. And it is perfectly reasonable and something that everyone does for most things they consum

Obviously. And you'd need to secure family and friends as well, otherwise at this scale, they would be targeted, including by entire nations. But if you have that wealth and can stay an unknown, it's going to be even more secure.

It's unlikely that they would want to out themselves and put a massive target on their back.

Where I live in Australia, small developers would be the biggest opponents of things that limit their opportunities to subdivide and build more densely - parking minimums, setbacks, frontage minimums, shadowing, sight-lines and so on. (I do
