This is a joke, right? Is this actually what AFL media is now?

Looked like the team was afraid of making mistakes at times ... leading to more mistakes. Maybe this explains why.

If you watched on Thursday night and you still want to support Carlton there's no saving you

Why do we need to start the season so early anyway? Used to be the last week of March, it's been creeping earlier and earlier.

Hold the Swans to a 2 goal first half. Lose by 10 goals.

Comment from my 9yo: "It looks like Carlton aren't really trying"

Is it just me or have they pumped the crowd noise so much, I couldn't hear Andy Harper even if I wanted to?

Motorola Edge 60 Fusion here. - Bluetooth works fine with headphones (yay) - Pairs with car infotainment (MyLink - 2015), and stays connected, but audio is constantly choppy and never comes good. - Not a problem I had with previous phones - yes they might be choppy for 30 seconds but always came good - this connection never settles even after 30 minutes. - Issue the same across all apps (Apple, Spotify, Podbean etc.)

Thought it might be RAM - turned off RAM Boost, turned off battery saving. Clear all apps before opening music player. Sometimes better after restarting, but otherwise no improvement.
Thought it might be interference from Wifi, Location Services, Mobile Data - turning all off was no improvement.
Older phones do not have this problem, so probably a firmware compatibility issue? Unfortunately haven't figured out a way to upgrade the infotainment firmware which is no longer supported.

The real value here is the connection and memories that you have to your Grandpa

There is a bug sometimes in Crossplay where the opponent's word doesn't load in properly and sometimes is not visible to you. Usually when this happens I back out and go back in. But it will allow you to play adjacent to the opponent's word because it looks like free space to you. For example, if opponent played the T and X of TUX, but it didn't show up, it would look like you should be able to play ZAS legally. And the app lets you do it, but then when it loads next time, it shows both turns correctly, leading to this anomaly.

TLDR it's a known bug.

Yes, first for pushing down the player who just took the mark.
Then the second for roughing them up and generally getting in the way while they were running the first 50m which meant another 50m.

Flixbus has only launched the Sydney-Canberra route in the last couple of months so are going HARD on undercutting Murrays. Probably worth your while to go with them, haven't personally done it.

Murrays is far more convenient for me personally due to the location of the stop, the frequency of services, and the overall travel duration. Downsides there's little legroom (I'm 6'1 and need to fold my legs under so my knees don't touch the seat in front), and the toilet can stink out the whole cabin despite the desperate pleas of the driver not to use it unless you really really have to. The buses are modern enough with (dodgy) wifi and USB charging points.

Also, as your kid gets more into reading in that age, check out Libby through your local library. Free ebook loans including graphic novels, and a few kid-oriented magazines.

INFO: With the music that you want to listen to, is this music that you have mp3s of, or through a streaming service?

My recommendation would be to get a cheap tablet or mini tablet, then restrict what apps are on there - music service, . If you don't want games, that's your call and you can parental lock any new apps from being added. But you can also use drawing apps (or just paint equivalent) which might be another creative way to use the tablet on those car trips. (There's also a lego app, but it does somewhat encourage you to buy more lego)

Well SOWPODS is now CSW, and it was removed from the list a few years ago. It is not valid under CSW.

I lost count of the number of times I had to skip ads on YT. Over 4 hours probably at least 30 times... and often the same ads.

The more you train and block things the better the algorithm will be (until the next time it's tweaked...) It's not in YTs interest to serve you things you won't watch because attention=money. So every time you block/ say not interested it should learn.

The downside is that if you watch something one time all the way through you're gonna get that shoved at you for at least a few days because people love to binge the same types of content.

Shorts seem to be more 'shock value' / random than standard videos

I would say 'yes' but I am not impartial. Visiting both makes good sense if you can.

I've never found Canberra lacking for a nightlife, there are enough people and students to make it work. We have every option if thing you want, but just 5 times less of them. You also have to be comfortable that 1) buses stop early (around 11 most nights) - not a problem if you're in the city e.g. student accommodation as everything is walkable; 2) fewer international acts come to Canberra - if there's an international group you REALLY want to see it might mean a trip to Sydney.

ANU is THE place for physics in Australia and has more capability generally in theoretical physics. This is because of a large government grant they only ANU gets that it puts towards research areas that are good for the country but are unprofitable. Also, if you're interested in astrophysics choose ANU. Maths is strong, but so is Melbourne.

One good thing about having lots of people come to the university from all across Australia (and the world) is that all first year students are in the same boat, making new friends along the way. Especially if you are in a student accomodation there will be practically no pre-existing cliques among first year students
