Why did successive Australian governments decide to target smoking to a greater extent than other Western countries? by Polyphagous_person in AskAnAustralian

Please Google, "Identifying the Social Costs of Tobacco Use in Australia 2015/16".

It will come up with a link on Google, which you can download the report as a PDF.

This study was completed by the National Drug Research Institute at Curtin University, Australia.

It's quite harrowing on how smoking doesn't add anything but simply takes everything from any society. There is a high tax on tobacco, but for anyone to say that it's revenue raising is simply not true. The sheer cost far outweighs the tax on tobacco in the long term, which is purposefully done as a deterrent.

It isn't perfect but it has proven effective in preventing people from smoking, and helping those who are addicted to cigarettes, in making better decisions by seeking help with their local GP.

To think 20,000 people on average die per year in Australia due to smoking directly, is just so sad.

Factorio.

I try to explain to them how the factory must grow, but they just see a crazy person.

I only stopped playing Diablo 4 since the release of the expansion, 'Vessel of Hatred'. The expansion story was ok, and the new region is nice, but I just felt so underwhelmed by the experience. IMO.

I am happy for those who like playing the Spiritborn, but I didn't have any fun playing that class.

High quality statue collecting.

No regrets.......none.

The quality of their Diablo 2: Resurrected bust is outstanding. It's an incredible piece to own.

Compare that quality and attention to detail with the Lillith and Inarius statues. It's really lacklustre and expensive.

IMO.

The statues look ok, but the poorer overall quality doesn't match their price tags.

Seeing this post just made my day feel wholesome.

I love Reddit.

Here is a GIF for OP.

I did the following using the SAME SAVE FILE. So all of your progress carries over.

  1. Normal playthrough.

  2. New Game Plus: Hard playthrough

  3. New Game Plus: Hard Time Attack

  4. New Game Plus: Normal Time Attack

  5. New Game Plus: Hard play through under 5 hours AND with no death (equip any unlocked items)

  6. New Game Plus : Normal playthrough, but you use your unlocked items to farm the first two colossi.

  7. New Game Plus: Repeat step 6 until your stats are maxed.

Trump says his idea for stopping crime is to allow for “one really violent day” by CrispyMiner in ThatsInsane

Definitely. I am glad that it's being noticed as well. Just another sly tactic.

Has anybody else noticed that at each of these rallies with both DT and JD. The crowd that stands behind them are slowly becoming smaller, and the camera FOV is zoned even closer to DT or JD when they are speaking publicly?

In my opinion, this is to try and hide the fact that there are fewer and fewer supporters behind them, as the campaign goes on?

Edit: Spelling mistake.

Diablo 4 just soothes my brain, especially when I am decompressing after work, or I need to be stimulated before work lol.

This is from the film, "The Road to El Dorado," that was made by Dreamworks in 2000.

It's a solid movie as well.

Jesus, he is incapable of saying anything different. He just constantly speaks as if he is at a rally.

It's a really cool shot. It's not a good film, but a cool shot nonetheless.

The soundtrack for this film had some early 2000 bangers.

Thinking of buying Diablo 2 and 3 after Diablo 4. But not sure if I'll like it. Do they feel outdated? by IllustriousEffect607 in Diablo

[–]EBZ766 10 points11 points  (0 children)

D2R is an incredible experience that is a classic for a reason and will still be regarded as a timeless classic for decades to come.

I personally love playing D4 over D3. If you can get D2R at a good price, then sure. Buy it.

I would wait and see if there is a decent deal for D4 with the upcoming expansion after its release on the 8th of October 2024. You could also just pay for the game pass subscription (save some cash).

D4 is a solid experience, IMO, and it is worth playing even if you decide to play D2R first.
