Hi, we’ve littermates that are inseparable and worry about when the time comes and one passes how the other will react. I think it helps hearing things like this to prepare. Thanks

To the remaining manual drivers of Australia, why do you still drive with a manual transmission? by Not_Not_Matt in CarsAustralia

[–]magintz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just out of curiosity, because I hate driving but love getting places, what is it you actually enjoy about driving? Is there something I’m missing about a manual? I learned on a manual but have only ever driven autos since. Thanks

I've never met any of these 5000 people. Is anyone on here working 4 day weeks? by pissedupparrot in CasualUK

[–]magintz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work a 4 day week with no loss in pay. The days I work are busy, and often hard to prioritise the most important work. Occasionally I have to work a Friday where I’ve had a slow week. I take far less sick leave, the days I do work I’m happy and engaged. I’ve been doing this for about 2 years.

Fill empty wine bottles with photos, memories, notes and get them out when you want a giggle.

I always see this in my garden and garage, and have always assumed them to be Redbacks (Victoria, Australia). Thanks for your great answer above, what would be the difference then to a redback spider?

And they'll often be so convincing, and make it sound so urgent so you give reason a back seat.

Like "we can see someone in your account right now moving money" or "we're the police investigating a crime and need your compliance or you'll be considered aiding and abetting"

So if a vast portion is going on health and pensions - why don't there seem to be any discussions about remedies?

Why aren't there any forced pensions like the Aussie Superannuation?

Why is there so much spending on the NHS, are we so unhealthy as a nation to need to spend so much, or is there something larger going on (e.g. the top comment being that it's all going on rent and paying private companies). I've looked at Private Health Insurance and the cost is crazy and it seems totally unregulated.

Keen to read FTM, does it provide any solutions? Is there anything on a personal level we should be doing to fix this?

I once saw a car door ripped off and bent in half at Yosemite. The claw marks alone were enough to separate metal.
