It’s a great analogy but to nitpick a little I wouldn’t say the circumference is expanded ‘a lot’ - they’re generally in LEO at 5-600km so an additional 1000 km which is essentially 3,141.5 ish kilometres on top of 40,000ish - under 8%? Of

(Even?) today there are many people involved in the sex industry voluntarily - I know of a Doctor who has left her specialist job to pursue full time sex work, she says it pays more. It’s not so hard to believe that some women 2,000 years a

Well, technically the term is used for the people who are looking to purchase services, so I’m not sure what sort of judgement you’re trying to apply, but thanks kindly for your 2c - the point being that you can buy sex off the street in NS

That’s a very puritanical view of the sex trade. In New South Wales prostitution has always been legal, including street crawlers, and for the protection of the sellers it is illegal to be a pimp. The view being the women have agency but pi

Accessing medical cannabis is weird - each state has different access requirements and you must apply in the state(s) you practice in for permission (which isn’t hard) and then to the TGA for approval to prescribe. The industry/clinic

You’re not really making sense. If they hadn’t made platform changes they would have never been able to turn into what they are today. I hardly thing that is ‘little to do’. They would likely barely exist. They have ‘achieved product marke

Just cross back from the crossing. It’s legal (?not illegal) to jaywalk in NSW if you are more than 20m from the nearest designated crossing, if you are not interfering with traffic (section 234). I’ve never met anyone who has received a fi

There is no logical, or even mythical, reason to conquer another territory (excluding taiwan from this). China really wants to be involved in long term insurgencies across Asia? Why?

They’re not equivalent though! An AED means your heart muscle has been absolutely trashed and will never be the same again. Plus, there’s still the issue of who actually needs an AED in their house, and if you know that, they’ve probably go

It’s risk stratification vs preventative care. You don’t WANT someone to have a heart attack and require the AED, because you’ve only got a 5-20% chance of making it out of hospital. These things are not équivalant!!! Risk stratification fo

It almost never works, unless you are seeing a witnessed cardiac arrest and know how to administer. That is the right ‘indication’ for a précordial thump, but the success rate is still terrible.

I don't like eating octopus or squid, mostly because I don't like the texture, but whenever I am out I say it's because I don't eat sentient beings, which usually provokes some interesting discussion.
