It actually first jumped significantly after the earnings call the day before the election. A 54% growth on the commercial side, being added to the S&P500, 1b in free cash flow, etc. Since then there have been constant announcements of

Correct. Why do the beat when you can sit at your desk and watch or wait for the cameras to pick something up? They seem to have forgotten that a police presence, i.e. a patrol car cruising around or police walking or cycling the streets no

You can get UV protection hats that have a clip-able face cover for those times you just want to go outside for a minute without having to slap on sunscreen. Have a few at home just for that, but they could definitely have a dual-use.

I'm surprised they haven't all tried to game this test by now, or at least added it to their internal testing knowing they will be judged by it.

Missed jumping in at $16 and ended up watching and waiting for a year. Eventually jumped in at $40 just before the election, as well as picking some bargain shares in critical mineral mining/processing. All are looking very good right

During the Falklands War, the Royal Navy requisitioned a lot of civilian ships at short notice, the Atlantic Conveyor being the most famous after it was sunk. The US Navy would likely do the same, the biggest issue could be retaining enough

This may be true of organisations that are funded by USAid, etc; so they essentially allow the Government of the day to execute policies while attempting to avoid responsibility when the "my tax money pays for what" questions aris

Refund or chargeback? The processing fees for a chargeback on every transaction could put him out of business. He's lucky they didn't find a way to use it for card washing.

Yes, and the mites (Varroa Destructor) found in the collapsed colonies were resistant to miticides. While widespread antibiotic use is bad for bees it's nothing compared to what the viruses transmitted by the mites do to them.

I've baked a few beetroot cakes lately (substitute grated carrot for beetroot). It's a little more bitter despite the outrageous sugar level, but wondering if the nitrates come through ok?

I learnt Quaker silent worship about 30 years ago and the practice of centering down which I still practice despite turning atheist many years ago. More recently did a mindfulness session, and was quietly surprised that I already knew the f

Reminds me of getting a 20c coin in change with a Kiwi* on the back. My younger self always felt like I had been shortchanged 5c. * AUD 20c was an identical size and same embossed image of the Queen, but a platypus on the reverse.

I think it depends on where you grow up. Still not as amorphous as the word "now" and its various prefixes when it comes to South Africans and time.

Some soundboards had a tape recorder built-in, so you could give the guy running the mix a blank tape to hit record when you started playing.

Fun fact. I once bought a very cheap Optus phone just to use for work 2FA (might have been PingID). Never registered it but it could still authenticate via the Optus cell network using a lower level transport protocol. Meant I could use 2FA

You would only have a TFN if you are working and potentially paying tax. So generally anyone under 16 would not have one. Closest might be a Medicare Card which gives you access to free/discounted public health that can be used as part

Look up Australia's 100 point proof of identity which is used by Gov and most corporate entities in Australia. A passport is a primary document (equivalent to a birth certificate) and gives you 60-70 points. It can't be used alone

His genius is really just making good bets on people, and letting them do their thing. People like Scott Guthrie who was a key person behind dot.net, and went on to be the driving force behind Azure. Anyone who did any dot.net work 10+ year

So, it's betting not on the outcome, but specifics of the event. The analogy could be sports betting where you bet on a player making a particular individual score, not just the win/loss. At the end of the day, if it prevents bank

That can make for a very weird viewing experience. "Oddball" was filmed in an Australian town I grew up in. There was a chase scene that combined and compressed multiple locations. In one particular scene you are looking at an ext

Return of the Jedi (6) was perfectly fine. More like 7 which was ok as a nostalgic cameo vehicle, but resulted in throwing away the Rogue Squadron arc which should have always remained canon. But not like that hadn't happened before. A

At some point your kids will also be grown up and able to make their own choices. In the meantime, get a dog. They thrive in dull consistency and will love you for it. They will happily walk the same path each day and just sleep at your fee
