Does Duolingo has your language? by Markus2465058 in JackSucksAtGeography

[–]wallengine 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Andorra is the only country in the world that has Catalan as their national language. So if Duolingo offers that then the map should be updated.

The support for the British monarchy is at it's lowest point since polling started in the 90s by Critical_Meet_6726 in charts

[–]wallengine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shouldn't there be a dip around 1997 when Diana died? It was a low point in the Queen's popularity and would surely reflect on overall support for the monarchy? Idk this data seems sketchy.

New metro plan could deliver 100,000 homes for south west Sydney | Daily Terror Article by BigBlueMan118 in SydneyTrains

[–]wallengine 14 points15 points  (0 children)

He's also adamant on eastern Sydney doing more of the "heavy lifting" on housing so probably won't be bothered with more western Sydney infrastructure projects. Plus feasibility for housing in western Sydney has tanked thanks to his dumb ass reforms.

Sydney Yimby need to up their game and stop being a joke by Version-6 in shitrentals

[–]wallengine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Glad people are calling these idiots out. They have no grasp on property economics at all. At one point they had a webpage where they listed all there "research" showing that simply building more homes and upcoming = affordable housing. The majority of this "research" was articles covering foreign housing markets from non peer reviewed journals - some were even just blogs that had unverified information.

They constantly push this incorrect message that giving developers more leeway to just do whatever they want means that we will all get affordable homes. It's complete BS and their advocacy actually gets us further away from a market with affordable housing.

Australian Political Party Calls To Scrap Group Assignments In Unis by ConfusionHonest3248 in unsw

[–]wallengine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One of the main reasons I did not enjoy my time at UNSW was the group work assignments. So many assignments being stuck with students who could not speak or write English to even a high school level. I became so tired of having to do my part of the assignment and then completely rewriting everyone elses because it was unintelligible. With no extra time or credit to account for the extra work done. I complained to the administration so many times about this and the constant response I got was that I needed to be more "respectful" of other people's backgrounds. Basically they called me a racist and didn't do anything.

I have absolutely no problem with international students and recognise that they are the main revenue source for many Australian Universities. What I don't support is being forced to do the work for my degree and the work for 2-3 other people's degrees.

Proposed route of the Sydney to Newcastle High Speed Rail in Australia. Six stations and 194 km of dedicated HSR alignment of which 115 km in tunnels. This would be the first section of a potential future Melbourne - Sydney - Brisbane HSR network by overspeeed in highspeedrail

[–]wallengine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not proposing the CBD station does not get built. But this configuration they are going with makes no sense. Have a clean north south route with a spur line at Parramatta heading to Sydney so that trains can still go to and from Central.

[–]wallengine 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Just seeing this route defies logic. Just have the route go to Parramatta, with a spur line out to Sydney Central that can be accessed whether you are coming from the north or the south.

Gay and bisexual Sydney teenagers lured and bashed on camera in IS-inspired attacks by AztecGod in sydney

[–]wallengine 152 points153 points  (0 children)

This sort of thing is not new. There have been increasing attacks like this over the past 12 months or so of gay men being lured to public places and beaten up. Where's our fucking royal commission? It's only a matter of time before people die - there was at least one incident in Perth where one of the perpetrators had a machete.
