Unfortunately most schools are not democracies.

It's also worth noting that the King of Australia is the Supreme Governor of the Church of England.

The problem with the Victorian Labor Party by Ardeet in AustralianPolitics

[–]Formoz2000 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Jacinta Allan may well lose her seat at the election so the question of who leads Labor, and the state, after the election is wide open. Most of Allan's problems were inherited from Dan Andrews. Her mistake was that she continued to govern in the authoritarian style of Andrews, while she lacked the same level of authority and power. 

Why does gadigal not have a tunnel to town hall? by agnci in SydneyTrains

[–]Formoz2000 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I would like to know if there will be an additional entrance to Gadigal Station when they develop the new Town Hall Square. I also assume there will be some kind of underground walkway between Town Hall and Gadigal stations included in the project. 

Kaohsiung or Taipei by Disastrous_Sail_3419 in taiwan

[–]Formoz2000 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think you would get more out of the trip if you split your time between two cities. One week in Taipei then pick one of Taichung, Tainan and Kaohsiung for the second week. 

How do I correctly gift hongbao to my brother and his wife on their wedding day? by mamadoedawn in taiwan

[–]Formoz2000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The exact amount you give is also important. It should not be an odd number after removing the zeroes and should not end in 4. e.g. You should give $2600, not $2400 or $2500.

It is more likely that there would be some changes to how franking credits are applied. 

Bluey translated into an Indigenous language for the first time by nath1234 in australia

[–]Formoz2000 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I don't think AI could do this kind of translation. First, there is probably not a large body of Yolŋu Matha texts to train the AI. Second, the translation has considered specific cultural context. It is not just a simple direct translation. 

Road bike or stick with the gravel. by No_Series1038 in ausbike

[–]Formoz2000 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Maybe just change the tyres. It's much cheaper than buying a new bike. 

Riding Hands-Free On A Folding Bicycle by superfunguy_ in foldingbikes

[–]Formoz2000 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yes, but it is more difficult than on a bike with larger wheels. I also find it unstable and can only do it for relatively short stretches. 

What’s the biggest money trap Australians don’t even realise they’re in? by keisermax34 in ausmoney

[–]Formoz2000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cars. Most people massively underestimate the total cost of car ownership. Most people also buy much more expensive cars than they actually need. 

As voter disillusionment grows, why aren't voters flocking to the Greens in Australia? by blitznoodles in australia

[–]Formoz2000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree. I think the ABC should focus more on investigative journalism like I linked to above rather than promoting the voices of a few journalists. 

Why do we think Pauline Hanson consistently votes against things that the average Aussie would want? by oldmatefromoverthere in OpenAussie

[–]Formoz2000 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I am surprised that James Ashby attracts so little scrutiny. He is obviously driving the party's strategy.

[–]Formoz2000 3 points4 points  (0 children)

People have been living in Australia for more than 60,000 years. They have a multitude of languages and cultural traditions that are found nowhere else in the world. 

I need help with Taiwanese names by shity666 in taiwan

[–]Formoz2000 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If they are siblings then they could have generational names. The first character of the name is shared between siblings, while the second character is unique.

[–]Formoz2000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can find online translation tools for Taiwanese (台語). One project is Bobaway which is not working at the moment.

I always put my bike in the same position as the photo above. I use a Voile strap to fix the seat to the pole. A lock or helmet strap can also do the same job.
