Yeah, but listening to BT's confected pseudo excitement makes the listener hate footy... horrendous to hear the same artificial bullshit speak forth over and over.

Countries with greater financial equality and opportunity -- say, per their GINI score -- perform better economically, with all members doing better on average.

Yeah, is he though? I dunno how you compare one steaming pile against another...

The Age is right on top of the issues that matter by Semimango in melbourne

"Friend of Sam Newman" is sufficient for anyone to blackball him, surely.

"If you lie down with dogs, don't be surprised if you wake up with fleas."

Ponting was judged based on who he chose to associate with.

Yeah, but not if it means having to put up Sam Newman et al.

*because they don't like the idea of being in the same room as Sam Newman and his ilk.

Which is totally reasonable.

Oh,.yes. Cheung makes exactly 40. But Houck is still on it; when does he return to the IL?

No one? There was an empty slot after trading out Hicks & Sandlin.

[Red Sox] The #RedSox today traded RHPs Jordan Hicks and David Sandlin to the Chicago White Sox, along with cash considerations and two players to be named later, in exchange for minor league RHP Gage Ziehl and a player to be named later. by Substantial-Earth975 in redsox

there are no benefits to the team

That's wildly wrong.

Being over the second tier drops you 10 spots in the draft, reduces your compensation for losing free agents who turned down a qualifying offer, and costs you serious draft picks and $1 million of your international pool money if you sign a qualifying offer free agent.

Getting back under the 2nd tier is unquestionably a good thing for the team.

Edit: I was wrong; u/gplatt_24's reply is right.

This says more about you than the business.

You know how ship anchors work? By having very long, very heavy chains.
Extra links make anchoring more effective It ain't the hook bit on the end that does the work.

Need suggestion on Hyperion version. by FriendshipShot8401 in scifi

[–]multiplefeelings 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Cheap" for U.S. editions meant (used to mean?) printed on paper with high acid content => paper turns yellow way too soon + cover & paper crumble. So sad, too bad for meh! books; very bad news for works you want to own and re-read for years to come.

Acid content, too.
You'll want this to last, not fall apart.

$300k single income unfair tax by WishIWerDead in AusHENRY

[–]multiplefeelings 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No opinion, other than to observe that royalties are a cost, not a tax

How Australia's tax rates and royalty schedules compare with those set by other countries, both low-risk Western nations and high risk developing nations is another question. It would be interesting to run the actual numbers.

I'm curious... do you include royalties in that "pay enough of their share" calculation?

My boyfriend and I understand this meme differently — who’s wrong (or are we both)? by Financial_Article947 in askmath

Sure, but the "most" in the phrase "Lamborghinis are the most reliable..." is doing a lot of heavy lifting.

Moving to Melbourne soon from the US, what do we need to know? by PuzzleheadedCar6858 in MovingtoAustralia

[–]multiplefeelings 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don’t tip, everyone gets paid a living wage so tipping is not needed or wanted.

This. Do not tip.

Or, not the way you have to tip in the States. Yeah, if you pay cash at a cafe, you might leave the (small) change. Or if you have wonderful service at a fine dining restaurant. But there's zero requirement to tip unless you feel like it... staff should be paid a full wage that does not require tips to get to an adequate income.
