A bank tried to sell me a pension fund contract. Luckily, I know my math and found out that it was so bad that I’d call it a scam.

It is the surprising exception to the rule. I never questioned this, but are there any real reasons for mandatory voting in Australia?

I don’t think mandatory voting is a good solution. This is mostly practices in autocratic/dictatorial states, and would have a bad taste to it.

What should be done is to either make voting day a public holiday (with mandatory “half day off” rule for anyone who would still have to work in retail or services), or just move it to a Sunday, like many other countries have done ages ago.

Sometimes you learn things before, and sometime by doing them. This was the latter case.

Are you saying parking is gambling in Amsterdam?

No, but our family of four went on a visit to the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, and the by far most expensive part of the trip were neither the museum tickets nor the restaurant bill, but the parking: about €16 per hour.

We do have casinos. And parking in Amsterdam.

Not only on Jerboa. Basically all titles are affected, and it is not only the ampersand which is an issue.

The other word for “finish the job” is “Endlösung”.

For the level of “quality” they delivered, they have always been too expensive.

Well, a lot of the Leavers wanted to bathe in a perceived Victorian Empires’ Greatness. At least in that aspect they have reaches Victorian levels…

I don’t know much about Taylor Swift, but I assume she is simply too smart to be conservative.

I was just using it. But the behavior/reaction to button presses showed me that a button was obviously connected to the wrong function.

I don’t know how to see a memory bug in an out of order elevator, but I once saw and reported a wiring error of a working elevator. It was an interesting talk at the reception desk, but as I could precisely describe what was wrong and the verifyable consequences, they took me seriously. And sent me a “Thank You” email later ;-)

Back then, the internet was a thing of trust and cooperation. We got an assigned port number the same way. Current problem: Our company changed over the decades, and I no longer have the email address that would identify me to the IANA as the one who requested that number reservation.

One key point here is: While you actually can replace a bunch of junior developers with AI in some places, any replaced junior developer will never become a senior developer that cannot be replaced by the AI because he/she is basically experince on two legs.

So, corporations, don’t complain about the lack of experienced, senior personnal because YOU have been the main reason they don’t exist.

But that would miss out the large amount of government control over the masses! Think of the kids, not of your rights being trampled on! /s

Well, lets call it an armed robbery, then.

I’d pick Apollo, the most sciency guy of the bunch.
