Rheumatology is one of the most exciting fields of medicine at the moment, it therefore attracts some of the brightest. I can assure you that they are up with the latest research, but it’s nice of you to so casually dismiss the work of thei

The Liberal party, for all its recent decade plus of derangement, is still clearly a center right party on an international scope. It would, for example, be anathema to degrade the level of services we experience in this country (and the Li

I put to you that it in fact does this terribly, because if the government shits itself midway through term there is no mechanism for removal or new elections, as there are in most other countries. Wait out the 4 year term (or two year cycl

Sure. I don’t think anyone would debate his capacity to do what he wants to his own toy. But it is certainly worthwhile pointing out the hypocrisy of his statements. When people’s words don’t line up with their actions you should be wary.

I don’t know anything specific about what the parent is proposing, but I imagine it is using the mass of the sun as a gravitational lens. Because of the solar radiation there isn’t really much sunlight (read:any) that is directly reflected

I heard this argument the other day around the Ukraine conflict being a US - Russia proxy war and the person promoting this view was vigorously rebutted - saying that it can’t be a proxy war because even though Ukraine is being significantl

The true quote that coined that term is Australia is a lucky country run mainly by second rate people who share its luck. It lives on other people's ideas, and, although its ordinary people are adaptable, most of its leaders (in all f
