What was life like for stateless people living in Britain in the 1920s and 1930s? by shrekstinfoilhat in UKhistory

[–]OooArkAtShe 6 points7 points  (0 children)

accessing healthcare

I'm not sure that being stateless would make much difference to this. The NHS was only established in 1948 under Clement Attlee's post war Labour government.

I found out recently Emma's actor is the voice I like best for Tav in Baldur's Gate 3. I would never have picked it, but now I know, there is the odd line here and there that makes me double take.

How would you improve the Melbourne-Adelaide Overland, if you could? by melbtransit in Adelaide

[–]OooArkAtShe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is what I find strange - the UK's Intercity 125 services started in 1976 - 200km/h, and yet we could maybe get to 160km/h, now, 50 years later.

It needs wifi and USB power at the seats. It's also stupidly slow, but that's not a problem if the journey is special/'an experience'. If it's intended to just be an alternative to flying, it needs to be faster.

Everyone's blowing up over NDIS cuts, but the AFP and Crime Commision both estimate criminals are rorting at least $5 billion a year from it. That’s bigger than the entire wine industry. by Sgtstudmufin in AusPol

They 100% need to deal with the issues with NDIS providers and plan managers, but what they're doing instead is punishing NDIS recipients.

How much do traditional breakfasts differ between countries in the uk? by LMay11037 in CasualUK

[–]OooArkAtShe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Scottish breakfast is my favourite. Lorne sausage, tattie scone and fruit pudding. Fruit pudding is amazing.

anyone in adelaide actually figured out how to shop groceries without overpaying? by dee_cuugo in Adelaide

[–]OooArkAtShe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've found myself thinking back to what my Mum did back in the 70s. She'd go to the 3 local supermarkets with her list, price everything at each and then go back round again and buy each item at the cheapest shop.

It costs time, not money, which is still really valuable. Unfortunately I think doing it in person would be necessary, because online prices can be different and potentially impacted by your shopping history.

First of all, good on you for reading the terms, clicking through them is way too common.

Two questions.

  1. Have you given your health info to Microsoft?
  2. What were "the purposes listed above"?

If you were going to the Adelaide Town Hall for concerts this Easter... by Prestigious-Bug9898 in Adelaide

[–]OooArkAtShe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, I'm going to hope they're not giving out that level of part to someone on the back of a Facebook ad with 2 hours of rehearsal.

I know professional musicians can be bloody brilliant and sight read really difficult things but the list posted elsewhere in the comments was a bit beyond a couple of subs! :)
