Well fuck…

Every time you think Americans aren’t going to fuck up the easy choice they find a way to surprise

I thought this one was also to do with their power being on a lower voltage so Kettles take longer?

But it’s still super weird. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

USA trying to improve the electoral system!? Shocked Pikachu face

Surprisingly good news

Our preferential voting also helps to drag the main parties towards the middle too. But that seems unlikely to ever get in over there since it’d allow more than two parties

Don’t think I’ve seen Foundation or Silo mentioned yet.

Maybe sense8? Much like the expanse it takes a while to get going

3 body problem

2006 release?

Haven’t seen it but I’ll check it out and get back to you!

Does Joseph’s machines count as low tech?

Or do you mean more primitive tech?

I’m in a small block of units and can’t get it 😔

It’s my favourite movie but people either seem to love or hate it.

Started reading the book afterwards but didn’t make it through the second half of the post apocalypse future story.

Usually recommend it to people since very few have seen it

Never smoked, have lung disease and it triggers me so hard to see people fuck up the healthy lungs they were born with.

Weed smell stinks but it’s better than tobacco at least. Nice that it has an edible option too.

Sad to see loss of progress on smoking rates

Sad situation. Aleksa and Alex putting out excellent content as usual. Glad they’re covering it

Probably Cloud Atlas

It was a commercial failure so it’s usually one that people haven’t already seen.

Talented cast and directors passionate about the project.

It’s extremely divisive, most people either love it or think it was a waste of time.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

This is roughly how I vote and you have typed it all out better than I could

I would usually preference greens over a single issue party but they don’t always get my first preference

This is the correct answer. If I’m on an overseas holiday I’m usually carrying an extra bag of medication.

If I wait I run the risk of no storage space near me and it getting stored away from me

I’m not a fan.

Have trouble finding motivation to get out of bed. Having early sun is a huge help in summer and there’s not much I do in the evenings that would be improved by sun there

Time is like the ocean

You can only hold a little in your hand

In Australia we get a rebate on tax if we hold private cover. The rebate is generally larger if you hold better cover up to a certain level of income where you can clearly afford both.

Hospital + extras for myself and wife was about 3k last year.

For things like regular scripts I’m on some stupid expensive drugs but because of PBS instead of 20,000 per month I pay $35 ish per script until hitting a safety net threshold and it drops to $5 per script.

After turning 31 if you don’t get private cover it costs more for each year you don’t get it when you eventually do. It’s to encourage people to get it if they can afford it. I’m not a fan but that’s how it works at the moment

Dunno, is it really US foreign policy if it’s not bipartisan

~1500 for a 2x1 unit purchased in 2015 at a stupid time for nearly 400k when the market was coming way down. Could have waited a year or two and been able to afford a house with a better deposit.

Thankfully getting close to having it paid off

I’ll have to dig up some older ones…
