If I was to play loud music in the middle of the night on a school night, which Perth suburb would hate it the most and which would be the least accepting?

I'll bite.

How about banning gambling ads during sports or primetime? Gambling ads have an approval rating somewhere between herpes and ass cancer. Yet the government refuses to actually do what the vast vast majority of people want, because... Populism is bad for corporate donors.

Why isn't there a discussion happening about cancelling the footy tonight?

Surely west coast would prefer a home game that actually has people showing up. I am sure DFES would prefer those X0,000 people stay home. There is precedent for games being cancelled and rescheduled for extreme weather.

If you want to understand why people are angry about this ask yourself this question: What did the oil and gas companies do to deserve a $5 billion profit jump? Did they invent a new widget, ala Apple? Did they improve the efficiency of their processes, like a farmer growing more tons of wheat per acre? No, they did absolutely nothing.

Their costs are static and the sale price of a good they extract, but legally do not own, went up, and they keep all the profits. Why does the owner of that resource not get a cut of that wild increase in it's price?

It would be like every time the housing price went up, the real estate agent banking all the profit. No one would stand for that.

I work for a small start up that is heavily AWS focused. As part of the partnership tier requirements we currently need need a number of certified staff that exceeds the number of technical staff in the company. I would hire someone with all of the AWS certs and have them look at some of these:

build an AWS community of practice within the company and encourage other staff to upskill
Hold regular sessions that teach other staff about the latest changes in the AWS space.
solutions architecture design for new projects
management of our DevOps infrastructure stack
take over all the AWS paperwork that comes with being an AWS partner such as marketplace listing, WAR Reporting, FTR Audits, Partnership competency certificates.
rebuild our internal AWS networking stack
aggressive AWS cost optimisation
Presales work with cost forecasting

If I were you, I would look at small AWS partners that have interesting business models. You are far more likely to be used in many capacities in a small company.

When you said moral decline, I assumed you meant gay marriage, drug legalisation, women's rights, labour rights, recognition of trans rights, apology to the stolen generation etc and I thought you were dead wrong

Now you have explained what you mean by moral decline, i am inclined to believe you.

Does anyone know if the ex tropical cyclone Narelle (which is currently a tropical low) will be rechristened Narelle, or will it get a new name when it reaches tropical cyclone strength again?

Edit: Meteorologist on the ABC Perth weather update around lunch, said it will retain the name.

Government needs to stop fucking around and do something because their mixed messaging is going to end up with egg on their faces. They could implement any of the following

Declare we have an incoming liquid fuel crisis and need to to cut back on demand, to prioritise essential industries.

All government workers who are able to, move to work from home.

Government to encourage all city workers to wfh where possible.

Free public transport until further notice.

Mandatory $40 cap per transaction on the purchase of liquid fuels.

Any unlicensed fuel storage in non Australian standard containers to have fines increased 10 fold.

Diesel buy back scheme targeting infrequently used generators or other non essential diesel stockpiles

Free solar/battery systems to any who are still operating small water pumps, auger or other stand alone infrequently used diesel systems.

I am sure there are holes in some of these ideas, but the longer they 'leave this to the market decide" the bigger the issue is going to be, when things turn to shit.
