Local Solar Panel manufacturing isn't the problem in Australia. It's the poor maintenance and refusal to upgrade transmission lines to support increased solar feeding into the grid. In a couple of years residents in South Australi

I think it's important to be realistic with your dreams and expectations for them. I am an 'elite athlete'. I compete in one of the oldest sports/events in history. I am top 3 in the country and top 60 in the world. My d

Have any studies been completed yet on immune system efficiency/suppression after covid restrictions (masks, hand sanitizer etc) ? In Australia we were very lucky with the COVID situation. And purely annecdotal, but I know many people

Gardening is a great relaxing hobby! I've done it on and off for the last several years. During COVID I grew 100kg/220lbs of tomatoes.

Nothing beats the feeling of a printed book. However, I find that I have a preference for printed vs Ebook depending on situation. Any book that's more than 400+ pages and/or is more academic in nature. I'm reading in eBook.

I often find that flight prices can be influenced by what you have looked at previously (other competitor, clear cache and cookies etc). It's quite a shady practice.

From speaking to people working in retail 4 weeks ago; a large portion of items that have "been cleared out" locally were being sent overseas to China.

The amount of bush in Australia is incredible. 120+ million hectares, equivalent to three times the size of California ! Doing this manually would be far too time consuming.

To be honest I think it's perfectly normal. I'm very much the same :) The only times I don't have this "warming up stage" is when I have a problem from the day previously that I somehow figured out a feasible soluti

Reminds me of a study they did for... chance to get parole approved based on time of day. Findings were early in morning and after lunch breaks was the most successful time. Just before clock-off and lunch inmates chances were reduced.

I train 20 hours a week for my sport, on top of full time study at University and running my own freelance business on the side. While I advocate for sport, nothing beats meditation for increased focus! I have tracked my stress levels over

A bit sensationalist. Eastern states don't do prescribed burn off for bushland. Which has made a significant difference in these ongoing fires.

I surmise the following reasons: Poorer populations have less access to sex education. The government pays $850 a fortnight to a single mother, on top of a $5000 baby bonus and various other incentive schemes. Poor social classes see this a

This had got recent attention in the mainstream media. I went down the rabbit hole of reading about McKamey Manor a couple years ago. It's very very strange and somethings don't add up.

What about companies not taking responsibility of their own data? You could talk about how FB makes $15 per quarter from users and they give up X,Y,Z of data. Yet 90% of the userbase wouldn't pay $15 a month for a advertisement free pl

I perhaps wonder if he survived due to his unconcious state. Similar concept to how drunk drivers generally suffer less injuries due to their body being relaxed upon impact.
