Desperate for that blue check money

The same system he was responsible for sending people into as part of his daily work, assuming they were still alive.

Don’t worry China, we super promise not to militarise it 🤞

It’s enough to wash away cars and everything else alongside it.

I hate it when they quote a time but no timezone. 10.37PM according to who?

How do judges normally treat destruction of evidence? Do they not care who committed the crime and just make a ruling on how to infer it? I feel like the court would want to know who has committed something as serious as this but I’m not sure of the actual process for it.

How many times have they “banned” vapes now? Are they actually going to do it?

We want to make sure the increasing use of digital payments occurs in a way that helps promote greater competition, innovation and productivity across our entire economy.

If we are to take this stated goal at face value it would seem to be a good thing. Getting ahead of the curve before the tech giants find a way to turn these products against us.

The problem is a lot of Australian’s will not take this at face value especially in the current climate of the movement away from physical cash. It’s hard to give them the benefit of the doubt that they are doing this to protect the Australian people with the lack of any sort of harm or complaint. Feel free to point out if there’s something I’m not thinking about regarding this point.

Personally, this smells extremely fishy to me and the most likely explanation in my mind is that they want to kneecap the tech giants and allow our financial sector to push in this space. I can’t imagine CBA, ANZ, etc particularly enjoying their control over this space being eroded. They have every opportunity to innovate in the space but they’re clearly lacking the drive to do so. Instead of improving competition by forcing the big banks to step up, they’re knee capping actual innovation.

So much of our economy is export driven. Particularly to China and particularly coal. Sad.

“Chicken meat poses a significant biosecurity risk to Australia, particularly the risk of highly pathogenic notifiable avian influenza (HPNAI) virus which can cause severe disease and mortality across Australia’s poultry industry, and may also affect wild bird populations.”

We do have a reputation for taking these things very seriously, as we should. We were even going to kill Johnny Depp’s dogs at one point but settled for the “hostage video”. Despite that, it does seem excessive in this case and should have been overturned on appeal at the very least.

Thankfully someone stepped up and ended up paying the fine on their behalf.

It’s incredibly complex to accurately predict what will happen and this is entirely plausible. I can also imagine there being people who have (example) $10,000, wait a year for it to be $18,000, and spend the $8,000 as “free money”. Rather than saving it which won’t put you ahead of others as they also benefit from the 80% interest (perhaps more so). I’m guessing that’s why there’s the caveat of even capital distribution which hasn’t happened anywhere in the history of life on Earth at any point in time presumably.

It would have been a well-advised idea had it been done when it actually mattered. I’m no economic expert but wouldn’t drastically swinging the other way also lead to inflation? For example (made up numbers) if $10,000 is the same as $1 a year ago (low interest rate) and now that $10,000 accrues 80% interest, that would just cause even further inflation?

I feel like this just absolutely HAS to be sarcasm right?

Really impressive move by the CBRT [Central Bank of the Republic of Turkey] - probing their orthodoxy and getting well ahead of expectations," he said in a note.

“These guys and girls are serious about fighting inflation,” he added. “We need to give them credit for that.”

ok 1hr old tankie 🤣

Ah the classic, internationally recognised crime of “engaging in hype”.

The risk is that if these pigs cross with a hypothetical manbear then we would have an unstoppable being that’s half man, half bear, half pig.

This could have been prevented if there was a good toddler with a gun.

This is true and something to consider. There’s also no app for Crunchyroll which is personally a huge downside.

It’s still the best user experience and I seriously dread having to use other people’s TVs now. Even major players like Samsung are seriously lacking in comparison.

IMO LG TVs with WebOS are the best user experience right now.
