So I'm watching a Pattaya 4k walking video on YouTube. Honestly I just find these working girls on the streets in next to nothing quite sad.
Small tiles in a bathroom (like subway tiles) might look cute but if you are the one cleaning I'd suggest staying right away from it or else cleaning is going to be a bitch.
I would say yes, but then again I'm irresponsible lol.
Where do you want to go?
When the snow is dry and powdery in texture it's pretty cool. But it's one of those things where you see it once you don't need to see it again.
I for one am glad you are quitting outright. It's the best thing for your health and your wallet.
I like dogs but the fact is I'm allergic to them. And my allergies to cats are exponentially worse.
For some reason I've been blessed with a hyperactive immune system. Spring as you can imagine is a real bitch. But I must say my symptoms are not nearly as bad now as they were when I was a kid.
I agree with you there was misdirected spending but there was also overreaction.
To be clear, I'm not anti all restrictions but if you clamp down too hard people will more likely try and break the rules for their own sanity, which leads to more spread and so on it goes.
Reasonable restrictions which people can more sensibly manage I think would have led to better compliance overall.
And to put it bluntly, people die and you cannot avoid all death. And obviously people who are sick and/or old are more likely to go down that road whether it's from COVID or even just the flu. At some point you have to accept that a virus cannot be stopped, and have a serious conversation about what you are willing to sacrifice in the future for the present.
We are now seeing writ large in the form of high interest rates and extreme stress on the health system among other things the consequences of these decisions. You might have saved someone back then, but unfortunately someone will die today from deferred surgery, being stuck in the ER or worse waiting for an ambulance.
I don't agree it's unique. We've been down this country road with the Spanish Flu, SARs and many others.
The correct approach is neither overly reactive or overly relaxed. In the first few months I am sympathetic to strict controls while information was gathered, but beyond that it was clear this was not the black plague. And I don't agree everyone in authority would have copied Victoria's way of doing it throughout the pandemic.
Take Sweden for example. Sweden's approach while not flawless (particularly in relation to aged care), overall had the best trade off between restrictions and allowing free movement. Furthermore their excess death rate was amongst the lowest in Europe.
You must understand that all that the excessive money spent then purportedly saving lives will cost lives in the present through delayed surgery, excessive wait times in ER (we are talking 48 hrs plus here), and ambulance ramping and wait times. And we are not just talking about hospital spending here but also all kinds of other spending that went on during those two years. Has anyone sat down and had a hard look at the books and looked at everything spent? I can guarantee you there would have been some absolutely mind boggling stupid things.
One example is the 100 million spent on air purifiers in schools with all most no evidence they would have made a material difference, and certainly no review has taken place afterwards. 100 million. Let that sink in. That could be spent on hospitals now.
There's no free lunch here. Someone will have to pay eventually and not just in dollars but also in lives.
Torrenting? I am completely and totally unfamiliar with the term. All media I consume is done so through legitimate means. No copyright infringement here.
To rent furiosa on YouTube is 29.99 AUD. Are you for fucking real?
Well, my source works in the medical system according to them there was insufficient spending restraint, even with COVID.
More broadly I think we overreacted. This is an opinion, and the one way to flush out the facts is to do something like a royal commission as state level. Of course state governments won't do this because they don't want to be accountable.
And regarding hindsight, there was plenty of people at the time who considered it as such but they were ignored. Do not think for a minute that all decisions are rational and forward thinking. There was a lot of politics at play here.
Not necessarily. Maybe it was just a badly designed website.
A little birdy told me (a reliable birdy) that hospitals spending cash like it was monopoly money during COVID is a big part of the reason they are having to make hard cuts now.
Honestly seems like there was a lot of overreacting during COVID. And the fact that no state government wants to review their actions suggests to me they know this and don't want to be held to account.
My machine has a special handwash cycle. It's quite convenient.
Melbourne airport management "Rail link? Nah. Fix international arrivals? Nah. New hotel? Sure!"
Honestly this state is a joke at times.
If nuclear was so brilliant the private sector would have done it already. They haven't because the cost far outweighs the benefit.
And as far taxpayer intervention goes to prop it up I just don't see any compelling evidence to suggest investment in nuclear will give you better bang for your buck than renewables.
In some countries without much wind, sun and waves nuclear might make sense provided they could cheaply get uranium and dispose waste cheaply. That's not Australia and we have options.
Super is not the short term relief you are looking for though..... More people floating around with more money would just push up the prices even more, offsetting any benefit from withdrawing super.
Now if we started talking about increasing supply perhaps, that would be a different story.
I think the point is if you are trying to fix housing early withdrawal of super is not the answer for all the reasons given.
There are other solutions and it would take multiple policies working in tandom.
