We already had a referendum in 1999 which was voted down. A president in Australia would be a significant departure from the current system, and I'm not sure I know anyone who would support it. We don't vote for a person to be Pri

I disagree with this. I don't think my wife falls into either of these categories and we consciously chose moissanite instead of diamond. Our choice was mostly founded in finance, but because we thought it was a waste of money not beca

So much so in fact, that it is often used endearingly among friends or when praising someone's skill at something. Source: am Australian, live in the US, had to stop saying it except when on discord with friends back home.

The biggest concern to me is the attention span most people have today. They can't go longer than a few minutes without going outside for a cigarette. It impacts work and leisure. An assignment at work is delayed or low quality because

You need to login because accounts have different quality tiers (standard vs high definition) and different max concurrent user counts. Hulu does this much better though. They display a hulu.com shortlink on the TV app that you type into yo

None of the studies in that survey actually support the claim I questioned though, which is specifically about insulin response in humans. Further, they don't even support your claim that artificial sweeteners cause _more_ weight gain

As an Australian living and working in the US with a wife who has a chronic medical condition that costs our insurance company on the order of $100k/yr for her regular treatments, all I can say is "Almost $1k" sounds like a g

I think it's important to have some context here though. I can't speak for the parent commenter, but I am Australian and how I interpreted it was that our democratic system is reasonably mature, functional, and relatively free fro
