Oh man, that's heartbreaking. Sending all the feels your way. 2 years old is way too young! <3

Absolutely! We're at 2x since 2021 in Perth for our place. And it was already inflated then. We're not really interested in mortgaging ourselves to the hilt because, you know, we have lives we want to live. So we're also just staying put for the time being, and gradually resigning ourselves to...

Yeah, this is the hard part. People make rational choices based on the options available to them. Making changes to this, and to inheritance laws, will have long-term benefits but don't necessarily provide a short-term resolution. It might put some temporary downward pressure on housing prices...

Agreed. The opening couple of paragraphs were emotionally brutal.

No doubt.

If they're microchipped and you need to give them different quantities or food types then I recommend getting something like this. We invested in a couple a few years ago and they've been great. They only open for the microchip that they are programmed to, and have enough guardrails to mostly...

How is Little Miss Cognac almost 3 years old? When did that happen?

Thanks for the additional context. That was something that I did not see (I avoided any and all F1 media over the weekend in order to also avoid spoilers). I'll be interested to look at the overhead for that sequence. The on-board from Norris shows very clearly that Verstappen darted to the...

As I said, I want to see what the actual changes are before passing judgement. But there's no doubting that home-ownership and property investing has been fawned over and promoted as the safest way to invest one's money for however long now. Should corporations that hoard property also be looked...

It does look like we're heading for some CGT and Negative Gearing changes. I'll be interested to see what they actually are before passing judgement, but that's such a huge turnaround in 7 years. It killed the Labor campaign in 2019, but public sentiment has been gradually shifting ever since it...

10km PB for me yesterday. Nothing outrageous - a touch over 48 minutes. Felt good, and felt like I could have gone faster as well. Wasn't trying to push for a PB, but after starting out targeting 5:00/km pace I felt good and basically cruised with most splits in the 4:45/4:50 range. Some longer...

I'm of the opposite opinion. Run the race at the scheduled time - wet weather, even hard wet weather can create super interesting races and tests things outside of the driver-go-fast-in-dry paradigm that we're used to. It's rare to see a race cancelled due to wet weather, and if the forecast for...

This is an outrageous statistic. I'd be tempted to just retire!

I agree that using the speed of sound as a reference feels wishy-washy, but it does help contextualise a little relative to other speedy-fast things in the air. Of course, if would be easier to directly compare to the other speedy-fast things (twice as fast as...

TWO people broke the world record and went under the 2-hour mark at the London Marathon. :O

FINALLY!!!

So much this. Stopping the charge at 90%, or 80%, or any arbitrary % is no different to filling up the tank in an ICEV when the gauge reads below a quarter, or a half, or whatever level is comfortable. There are very few circumstance that warrant a 100-0 fuel tank, so why is that a relevant...

Spell/grammar checkers have been doing this for aeons. Do you want the author to re-type a word themselves if the miss a letter?

This was also my first reaction. But on thinking about it a bit further I feel like this is pretty much exactly why subject matter experts are important. It's kind of the same as reading abstracts on papers to determine if it's actually relevant to what you're studying/researching. Finding the...

If anyone is ever in Barcelona: https://maps.app.goo.gl/s73jP1zuqs88s2yx6 This place is absolutely worth a visit. It has nostalgic value for me as well, but damn they make some good croissants.
