Another aspect is that being near family while raising your children is immensely helpful. Housing prices have gone 30-40x since my parents bought, for example. Salaries have definitely not increased at a similar pace!

I'd generally agree however... I'm a drone photographer first, but wanted to supplement it with some ground video. Bought a gimbal for my phone. Wanted something smaller, so bought an Osmo Pocket. Bought a GoPro. Bought a GH5; bou

I've shot content for a professional tourism contract on my phone. Helps that phone cameras these days are very good! I think what stands out to most people is when something looks non-standard. Usually that's because it's sh

Funny you should mention that because it's how I'd started searching the aforementioned Bunnings site. Filter by what's available and in stock at the local store. The other development is having to check online reviews before

If you're renting out the house, does it need to be in a HCOL area and does it need to be just one house? It goes against the idea of 'housing as investment being a negative thing' though.

I've noticed Bunnings (like Home Depot, but in Australia) adding "Marketplace" listings for non-store things to their website. I assume that there's either an internal push to become more like Amazon, or consultants pitc

I know you were responding to the "elite white people" bit, but is there an age element at play with this? If there are people that have absorbed the idea that you unquestioningly adjust your speaking/writing to be a perfectl

I describe these scenarios to my young children as concentric circles. One person can be acting reasonably (small circle around them) or very badly (larger circle). A person nearby can be very resilient (small circle) or fragile (larger cir

I'm surprised people can't see it hitting now or in the very near future. There are stories of people falling in love with scammers who've used a photograph and then just chat. And those are ESL scammers, not people or progra

Not saying the following is true of you, but the parallels brought it to mind. I (45) was speaking with a friend (50+) this week about job prospects. He's been employed in a particular creative field for his adult life and feels as tho

The Advertiser in Adelaide is my local, though for me the home page is nothing but a cookie error for me on every visit. Saves me time and frustration not having to read it at all.

I think the gap between Asia and PNG (then connected to AU) has got down to 90km. Doable with bamboo rafts? Viewing a mountainous island from an elevated position would give them reason to attempt it. Timor to PNG is suggested as the water

The infected are the substrate for human stories, which are the parts that make the games (and show) remarkable. What is fun in a game is likely less so in a show, so I can understand why they've minimised the infected. I assume the ot

On my non-Retina screens, the "ea" is small enough that with anti-aliasing, the letters are more shapes than clearly defined letters. I remember that in the old days of web design (including baking text into graphics!), 8px was th

That's true. By that age, kids can be disruptive and unmanageable. You'd need a far more engaging and hands-on program, that would be a lot more expensive to administer.

How different is this from most out of school care? When we've had our kids in what here is called OSHC (out of school hours care or similar), it's been pretty free-form and vaguely supervised. Some kids do art, some muck around o

I wonder if alcohol is a better parallel than smoking here. A vice that you speak with children about and make sure that any relationship they have with is a healthy one. You can leave children to discover it on their own or you can talk th

I think this is orthogonal to the issue. By early teens, peers are the largest influence on a child and they have more than enough opportunities to pressure for or use a phone at school or after school, regardless of the work status of eith

Have you tried asking it to rewrite more in the style of a particular author, or to flesh out story elements in detail or with a bit more vagueness rather than like writing a blurb?

With near zero downside, you get rampant crime in particular categories, as seen in San Francisco, or joyriding by underage kids.

I wonder if you could slightly limit your exposure here by noting that you were legally carrying a gun, but for self protection. So there was less of an implied threat, but still maybe enough to spark a bit of police support?
