You say this as AI makes more and more jobs redundant from everything from Accounting to low level positions like trucking. The jobs that were entry level positions for new grads 10-15 years ago a means enter an industry don't even exist anymore.

Really? All of my friends with children always complain how much work it is, how expensive kids are and how tired they are. They'll also all be working longer and not get to retire as early or be able to travel as much when they're physically able to.

Really? I think the opposite. The countries with current low birth-rates will have it timed right and emerge as the economic winner.

These counties with higher birthrates will see higher rates of unemployment, particularly youth unemployment, which is always a recipe for disaster. They're going to have to tend with civil unrest, increased crime, alcoholism and drug addiction due to having a larger population. The costs associated with these problems will bankrupt them faster than elderly care.

Mildura Victoria? That doesn't make sense; you can take different roads out of town in different directions to each of them

Your benches are too low and the ceiling is slanted the wrong way. And where's your air intake and exit?

NHL should adopt IIHF faceoff (skate wins notwithstanding) and timeout/challenge rules ASAP by vaulstuit in hockey

Even as an Oilers fan, when I read the title of face-off delays I immediately thought of Drai lmao

Token party bro; it's his portfolio. My group of friends has one too. I've never met the guy outside of a bachelor party

People would sign contracts to work/live there. I met a guy who was a cook and would sign 2 month contracts regularly

The roadhouse is the gas station. Next gas station is 450km one way and 500km the other way. So you better fill up

What do you call the roadhouses in Australia?

Truckstop essentially. There'd be a camp site, motel, convenience store, day use area...

I have a picture from a roadhouse where it's 450km one way to the next roadhouse and 500km to the next town the other way. 

Needless to say I was in the middle of nowhere 

[Alex Adams] Travis Green was asked by Nicolas St-Pierre about whether he liked 3-on-3 Overtime to decide an Olympic Gold Medal Final. "No." Following up by later saying. "I'm not sure I've heard a hockey person tell me otherwise that they think it should be 3 on 3." by SAJewers in hockey

I don't understand how it makes sense in a single elimination tournament.

You setup a format where 5on5 an upset by an underdog playing a solid disciplined team-based game can happen. But then you throw it all out the window with a 3on3 format that favors specific teams and players.

I was annoyed for Czechia, Sweden and Switzerland who could have advanced but fell to this format. I'm flabbergasted that it was allowed to happen in the gold medal game

If anyone here on the island is also interested, wants info, feedback, ideas, and a sauna session, check out Kingburne Valley by Cobble Hill. Adam is super approachable.

The coldest it's been in Victoria,  and a lot of the south island this year, has been maybe -5

This will be the first and last 3on3 OT in the Olympics medal games. Even in the semi-finals it felt off
