In Norway the Amiga vs ST wars felt quite real. :) The Former was by far the best, except for Midi of course - and as such it raged on. (I had the Vic20, C64, then Amigas). For me it being in my mid 40s now it was the original religious tec

This is real. Try buying the good types of baby formula in Australian supermarkets or pharmacies; you quickly learn the need to have a buffer of several lest your baby goes hungry. Scalpers go in and get what they can, then sell to China fo

Seeing people hunt for keys with one or two index fingers - not when writing something profound, requiring of thought, but simply filling out forms - is incredibly frustrating . I'm going to argue they can't type when they'r

Yet initiatives like Carbon tax have been shot down (Australia) by big money, putting dangerous delays into the schedule.

So effectively it did turn it into a DLC, making GP's post 100% correct. I am past caring for or trusting their lame excuses at this point.

Someone needs to tell the currently sitting Australian government, whose very own (now, not then - they are on high rotation) prime minister brought a lump of coal into parliament in 2017 and said "Don’t be afraid, don’t be scared, it

Why should people be allowed to act so selfishly? It would stop the practice dead in its tracks, and from then a non issue. I dare say that makes it worth it. Furthermore making it strictly illegal to perform the work would assist.
