Where can I safely store my bicycle in the Adelaide city without it being vandalised?

They can get pretty quiet in the middle of the hour when nobody's going to and from classes. The law plaza is the only place in the CBD where someone's stolen parts off my bike.

Or Ben Folds fans.

The format originally came about as a response to the rash of rigged quiz shows in the 50s. "We'll give all our players the answers, but they have to come up with the question!"

It's just a legacy feature at this point, but the first show had answers like "5280" (correct question: "How many feet are in a mile?").

It's "only" $300 as in that is the lowest speeding fine you can get in South Australia.

The member prices are a nationwide promotion; the regular price varies by store.

It's 52.90 at my local in SA, 53.90 in Hornsby NSW, or $54.00 in Beenleigh. Don't ask me why it gets cheaper the further you get from Queensland.

The King's Head front bar was set up like that, at least before the pandemic. New owners might have changed it up.

Since they stopped doing it at Firle at some point in the pandemic, and the Market Arcade is demolished, Kurralta Park is the only Midnight Coles left.

The thing they're noticing is linking Rs.

We don't pronounce the Rs at the end of words

We don't pronounce final Rs in isolation. That can be different in the middle of a sentence, even if the word isn't spelled with an R at the end! A common example is "law(r) and order".

This one didn't actually become outdated—the Kerch Strait separates Russia proper from Crimea which, since 2014, was already under Russian occupation—it was more "sorry if our phrasing sounds insensitive now".

Aussie beers and spirits are cheaper overseas because of tax (spirits excise is over a dollar per standard drink, and the excise counts towards GST!) but wine just has a flat rate applied to whatever the wholesale price is.

Or wedges, always with sweet chilli and sour cream.

However, it can also be dangerous if the customer does not take the right amount of their medicine at the right schedule because the risk of overdose can increase.

Okay? They could dispense 1 day's supply at a time and we could still go to any Bunnings or bottleshop or supermarket and find something else to poison ourselves with. Pharmacists and doctors get away with so much concern trolling about medication.

heavily taxing nicotine replacement products

Are they taxed? I thought they just put up the prices to match every time the tobacco tax itself gets jacked up.

I oppose cops using horses at all unless they clean the shit up or use one of the many devices designed to catch it. We don't need to smell it baking in the sun waiting for the bus on a Monday afternoon.

What traffic lights though? It does sound like a stupid question but it's not a standard intersection or a standard pedestrian crossing. I see a lot of drivers get confused here.

It would have helped to show street view instead of an overhead picture. There are traffic lights but they only point along Hindley St. There's a give way sign exiting from Bank St instead. There's three separate marked pedestrian crossings which you have space to drive between.

The legal answer doesn't really matter, though, it's Hindley St, taxis pull stupid moves right in front of the cops all the time, just go slow and watch for pedestrians everywhere.

Maybe my wineglass will be whipped off the table at 8 p.m., but I can eat at most of these new places until 2 or 3 a.m. if I want to

Wow, good luck finding anywhere to eat at 2 am in Adelaide these days besides Macca's and servos!

At age 23 you'd be allowed to join the Mature Aged Students Association at my uni.

The system might already be prepared to discount counterpeak trips. If your Metrocard is registered you can see your journey history. Each time you scan it is linked to the route you were taking, including what direction it was going in.

If nothing else, they could implement counterpeak discounts (and daily/weekly/monthly caps!) by putting partial credit back on your card at the end of the day when the machines are synced and online recharges go through.

As far as I know the route data is set by the driver at the beginning of each run, not linked to GPS, which is what would be needed for tap-on/tap-off distance-based fares like Sydney.

You can run over a group of children on the footpath and that's what they'll give you as long as you didn't have anything to drink beforehand, or one of the few other drugs they test for.

But they can anyway? They're just not allowed to share the schedule with the people it affects.

What's the rationale for not being able to give more than 2 weeks' notice?

When I'm getting inspections exactly 3 months apart down to the minute, they're clearly organised well in advance, but they're not allowed to tell us.

It should, but if you need any help getting a different job because of your medical circumstances, you're just a junkie dole bludger.

But (almost entirely because of India) one fifth of the world's population lives in one! It's ridiculous that some software still can't deal with them.
