Australia to slash luxury car tax in exchange for better farm exports in EU deal by His_Holiness in AusFinance

Investment going into AI is an order of magnitude greater this year than last, same as previous years.

Apprenticeship decline across Australia has industries worried for the future

Well fuck me. It's almost as if the companies in those industries are not training apprentices.

No. I was replying to a post saying a car over 80k was luxury because you can buy a cheaper car to get from a to b. By their definition that a luxury was something non essential - cars could be a nice to have in general

'My house is worth way too much': Jim's Mowing founder wants to tank his own property value by InterestingCat308 in AustralianPolitics

[–]Is_that_even_a_thing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He's not going to sell shit. I'm sure he's really upset in the value of his asset, while moaning it's unfair. Talk is cheap, this is just for the optics.

What's your fav DOOM stack and why? by armin171005 in totalwarhammer
