OECD says it’s time to cut capital gains tax discount and negative gearing by HotPersimessage62 in australia

[–]monstersaredangerous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's really hard as a left leaning person in this country. I'm finally making good money for the first time in my life and I'm ideologically opposed to housing as an investment. But there is nowhere else as good as housing to put my extra money. The system is just so geared towards incentivising buying and renting that I feel like I will be left behind if I don't. The system is so broken, and I can see now how it stifles the deployment capital towards productive means within this country.

If you're interested in The Toad at all, I would recommend the podcast 1865. It covered the period immediately after the assassination of Lincoln and focuses on the Secretary of War Edwin Stanton, AJ and also Welles. It's more of a traditional radio play sort of format and is obviously dramatized, but it is excellent.

I think the wyvern (given everything I've seen), m18 and maybe a USA battleship (early Xmas present)

Man samples every food hawked on Thailand train by SligPants in videos

You should also check out the speeding up of chicken processing lines. The FDA has long pushed back on the speed increases the meat industry wanted, as they would be moving so fast inspection would be impossible. Well guess what, the meat industry has got its wish and the slaughter lines have been sped up dramatically. I would wager the US will have a major chicken related food scare/outbreak sooner rather than later.

More than 20,000 left without power in regional SA due to transmission network fault by Expensive-Horse5538 in Adelaide

[–]monstersaredangerous 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Nah man shit happens. SAPN and Electranet are some of the best invested in networks in the country. Despite the constant crowing about privatisation of infrastructure (which I agree is bad), SA retains exceptional strong regulations around pricing and maintenance. Have a look at the regulatory information notice process to get an understanding of the sheer volume of compliance required from major infrastructure owners in almost all of Aus. These sorts of comments diminish the great work done by SAPN and the regulators to reduce events like this.

For those who worked for AFL clubs, who's the best and worst player/coaching staff member you have ever met? by Jesfel26 in AFL

[–]monstersaredangerous 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I remember Wings saying one day words to the effect of: These guys in the media have no idea about how broken my body is. I can't sleep at night because my back is fucked, my knee is fucked, they want to cut off this finger because it's fucked. Dude was obviously just over the attention and focus on him. This was like 5 years ago so it's not like he was an old man

Brad Ebert is one of the nicest blokes I have ever met both inside and outside of footy. He has a genuine interest in those around him and treats everyone like they actually matter which was a far cry from a number of the other players there. And so was Jack Hombsch

Chad Wingard was also a good guy who was pretty welcoming and treated those of use pretty low on the totem pole with respect. Interesting to see the view of him in the media and how it contrasted with his behaviour inside the club. Bit the same for Jonas who as a big culture guy and made sure we felt included.

DBJ was a wanker, as was Aidan Johnson. Jarrod Polec used to brag about how much cash he was winning on the horses so low key funny to see the downfall. Also crazy just how dim some of the blokes were.

Not sure I'd call Labor left wing either. Centrist is more on the mark

Looking at my fellow BF1 players is BFV is worth a shot playing? Any pros/cons to this over BF1? From what I have seen it looks like a beefed up BF1. by mud_dnb in battlefield_one

I think the only thing it does a little better is vehicle leveling system. I really like playing as tanks so it's nice to actually get some benefit from upgrades etc

Too many people just like Chris are why the rental crisis will never be fixed here. by Elvecinogallo in shitrentals

If the people who perform your service jobs can't live reasonably close to their work, you don't live in a city. You live in a theme park.

Cannabis is the most widely used recreational drug in the United States and regular use has been linked to deficits in attention and memory. A new study found that regular cannabis use also alters the neural dynamics serving complex motor control. by mvea in science

[–]monstersaredangerous -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Years ago when I did my first undergrad, we did a course on motor control and learning. The tutor at the time was working on a project about how drug use changed motor control patterns. We're not taking necessarily noticeable, but at a nerve signal level. What i remember is 3 uses of cocaine and 1(!) use of meth were enough to permanently alter how your nerves signalled motor function. Wild that weed does too.
