I love how conservatives have such an obsession with being mature and having "mature discussions" yet all think the same things without questioning anything at all like a literal child. Having no feelings at all or the ability to feel joy must take its toll i got banned fucked around with this message at 00:57 on Nov 12, 2014 |

With its capital at Asmara, it is bordered by Sudan to the west, Ethiopia in the south, and Djibouti in the southeast. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eritrean_cuisine Slow simmered spiced stew of meats, chickpeas and flatbreads. 'African' food. And the Goonmeet is the 22nd of Nov. The Saturday after G20 weekend.

Some good news http://www.abc.net.au/news/2014-11-12/immigration-department-loses-appeal-over-afghans-refugee-status/5885148 quote:The Federal Government has lost a High Court appeal over the refugee status of an Afghan truck driver who claimed he could not return to his country for fear of persecution.

It is really good, I have been there with Shadeoses, my brother, and other relatives. It's the best. And the proximity to the Three Monkeys (and the rest of West End) is great. After my favourite Turkish restaurant got shut down and turned into a lovely wine bar (!!!) it is probably among my three favourite restaurants in West End.

So I wrote for the Conversation yesterday about the fact that the GP co-payment is a bad idea because it discourages people from using the most cost-efficient part of our health care system. https://theconversation.com/medicare-spending-on-general-practice-is-value-for-money-33948 So today in the Western Australian we got A spokesman for Health Minister Peter Dutton rejected the report's conclusion. "Over the past decade, the cost of the MBS has gone up 130 per cent and could double again in the next decade," he said. "Suggestions that is sustainable are denying the facts." Not that anywhere in our report did we assert that Medicare was sustainable or not. They just trotted out the same response they have been giving to all criticisms of the scheme. Who wants to place a bet whether my project gets its funding from the Department of Health next year?

It's International GIS Day in Brisbane next Wednesday, and they could be testing for that, drones are a pretty great way to get aerial photos in high-res on the cheap. It's not the kind of thing anyone that wasn't a huge GIS nerd would give a poo poo about, so feel free to ask me how I know about it

It looked like a fat plane with propellers facing upwards on each wing and no windows on it whatsoever. If it is a type of drone, it's hard to find on google because all that comes up is OBAMA crap.

They're loving everywhere and they're really not acting the best even now, especially to anyone looking suspicious or odd, which includes people with various intellectual and neurological disabilities. It's really understandable that a lot of clients are deciding it's easier to stay at home this week.
