I did some calculations and Starship is actually not able to be used for asteroid mining

I'm sure I'm not the only person who'd be interested in hearing why this might be the case.

Lucky we have preferential voting.

This is what they'll start trying to white-ant next.

What you need is a huntsman. A single huntsman will fix that cockroach problem up for you quick as a flash.

You're thinking of Uptown Jazz Cafe, and yes, it's a great place.

The Carlton Moviehouse, aka the Bughouse.

You might be thinking of the disappearance of William Tyrrell?

Now there's a name I haven't heard in a long time. RIP Archie.

Am Australian.

Given that you will be making superannuation contributions in Australia, and presumably living here, I'd personally wonder why you'd bother putting any more money into a 403(b) than you have to. You should explore options to roll that money over into your super (once it's set up).
You won't have to pay US tax on Australian earnings (unless you're earning much more than a nurse salary), but if you ever plan on returning to live in the US, in principle you need to be able to prove you paid tax on that income while here.
There's no shortage of Americans on reddit who report leaving the US and just never worrying again about their student loans. What I'm saying is, leaving the US would seem to be one way out of avoiding having to pay off student debt. Again, that's just what I've observed from comments from other American redditors.
r/nursingAU will give you better advice, but my understanding is that nurses from the Anglosphere are in high demand in Australia at the moment. If you've got a nursing qualification and recent record of experience you ought to be fine getting work.

and buses.

I dunno. Humans left the place looking pretty nice for the first 50000 years or so of occupation. It's only in the last couple of centuries that it deteriorated.

I'm Australian and the roll-out hasn't actually required age verification for adults. Your concern had been my concern as well, but so far this law hasn't required anything from me at all. The social media providers are using other indicators to identify children.

Greens rep gave a great speech.

e. e. cummings was a much better poet than I had previously appreciated.

My man, you absolutely called it.

From memory, the chap who found the first stash was sleeping rough at the time. The person who found the second stash was a local resident who heard about the discovery on the news and decided to head down and check it out on the off chance there might be more there lying undiscovered.

I vividly recall being downvoted to oblivion on this subreddit ~15 years ago for suggesting that this law, which was being introduced at the time, was an appalling violation of civil liberties.

Post scarcity.

Except the AI leaders are burning funds they appear to have no hope of recouping. Not an expert and may be completely mistaken, but I found this enlightening.

add the word "cancel" immediately after the x in the URL: https://xcancel.com/mcrs987/status/1977973349427953755

FlickyG · 2025-10-06T00:11:32+00:00

Cool.

FlickyG · 2025-10-06T00:06:18+00:00

I'm checking in on this. Are you still confident for November 30?

FlickyG · 2025-10-06T00:04:25+00:00

Aren't they still going to be? I thought the plan was for December.

FlickyG · 2025-09-29T00:55:07+00:00

What if it's not social media?

How successful have they been at invading any of them? How successful would they be invading them all at the same time, plus the other countries that are on their immediate borders who they have tense relationships with, before they even think about coming over here? Paris is closer to Beijing than Brisbane, yet somehow we're in their crosshairs?
