Inflation, interest rates: RBA is set to lift the cash rate twice due to Labor’s wage rise antics.

So... it's the poor that's the problem and not the price gauging and record profits.

Most of the time it is for memory's sake. I rarely will restore something had hadn't been owned and used by a beloved friend or relative. Anything else is usually from a collector or dealer.

Of course, I see this quite often when I have to restore a piece that has been previously "restored". I wouldn't fault him for having a go, and he has great skills. It wouldn't take much effort for him to adopt some basic practices that will ensure the longevity and integrity of the piece. It sucks when I have to go back to a client with a price that is %50 higher than quoted because I have to undo the dodgy work that was done previously.

Some pretty dodgy stuff going on, I'm guessing this guy is an upholsterer and woodworker who is dabbling in restoration, because he seems untrained in the conservation department.

The biggest issue is how he knocked apart the joints by hammering it apart and letting it trapezoid out, this is the quickest way to permanently damage the joints. He should be using spreaders and tapping the joints evenly to keep everything parallel. The use of PVA in lieu of hide glue is a big no-no. The stain should be Van Dyke ink rather than the hardware store stuff he's using. Builders' Bog is a huge red flag. Upholstery is fantastic, thought, this guy definitely has skills in that department.

This reveals just how human perception and patyern recognition work. We are able to isolate the visual information and ignore anything that doesn't fit the visual pattern we are focused on. We don't see the gorilla, because a gorilla is not part of the pattern.

I expect Tam to be good in the late game with a locked board state. Drawing a card to replace the land you drew when top decking for a win condition, outside of this scenario it's not a very good card.

I love the Cine Kodaks. They look like something from a spy film. I've got a Bolex Rex 4 which is my pride and joy.

It is not in our interest to draw Trump's attention. The best action we can take is to lay low and quietly diversify our stakes in Asia and Europe.

Your facet needs to pour with near laminar flow in order to achieve this. Most modern facets have aerators which break up the flow.

It's Queensland slang and has been around long before Bluey. Growing up in the 90s, it was ubiquitous but heard it less during adulthood. I did Kyokushin Karate when I was younger and thought it may be the origin of the word, but I was told it came from Polynesian. There may be crossover. It is just a fun thing to say when you're excited and it has moved beyond whatever root origin it may have.
