So Prime Minister is now a royal title? With the authority/power to knight?

MariusLecter posted:So Prime Minister is now a royal title? With the authority/power to knight? It's like passing a law. Technically it needs royal assent to pass, but in practice what happens is the Governor-General just signs off whatever's been passed by parliament. Except in this case it doesn't need to pass parliament, Tones can just do whatever he wants. quote:Knights and Dames will be appointed by the Queen of Australia on the advice of the Prime Minister of Australia after consultation with the Chair of the Order of Australia Council. (wikipedia) "On advice of the Prime Minister" + "consultation" (non-binding) = it's Tony's fault.

MariusLecter posted:So Prime Minister is now a royal title? With the authority/power to knight? Technically the PM just recommends someone to the Queen and she does the honours. Titles of nobility were abolished here about 30 years ago until Abbott brought them back last year. He got mocked a lot for it but since the first two people chosen were pretty solid candidates (previous Governor-General, incoming Governor-General, both highly accomplished people) it just went into the general list of things to laugh at. So then on Australia Day he decides to recommend Prince Philip receive a knighthood...

Happy Tu B'Shvat! Tu B'Shvat is the Jewish "New Year" of the trees. This year Tu B'Shvat, literally the 15th (Tu in Hebrew) of the Hebrew month of Shvat) falls on Tuesday, February 3, 2015 in the civil calendar. Normally the holiday is wonderful and celebrated throughout Israel by the joyous planting of trees! Shmitta is the seventh year (sabbatical year) of a seven-year agricultural cycle which is commanded by the Torah for life in the land of Israel. Our current Hebrew year, 5775, is a Shmitta year. During Shmitta, the land is left to "relax" and all agricultural activity, including tree-planting is forbidden. * * * This would be a good time to check out my book: Trees ...the Green Testament, the front page story it made, and the special pdf edition you can buy at our webstore (or get for free when you buy a Dry Bones Passover Haggadah). Just visit: Treesthegreentestament.com * * * Labels: Holiday, Jewish, Jewish Culture, Jews, New Year, Shmita, Shmitta, Shuldig, torah, Trees, Tu B'Shvat

I've never seen a bulldozer that looked like that here, but maybe they hide them from normal citizens because they obviously look like something some modern evil overlord would cook up.

Well, you have to take precautions. Some of the civilian whose homes and livelihoods you're demolishing might throw rocks, or even have guns! You don't want to endanger your demolition crews, after all.

 See, this is funny because either he agrees with the two people on the left and it's sorta a "this needs to get done but... MY TAXES? Ohhh this world lol" or he thinks they're so wrong that he doesn't need to articulate it and you should automatically agree with the grumpy fucker on the right.

So the senile old man thinks that the taxes he paid as a young parent at the bottom rung of his career were enough to cover the cost of educating his kids through high school hm? And apparently he forgot about getting to go to school himself rather than working in a garment factory at the age of 6. If only we had universal health care so he could be in care for his dementia instead of wandering around town muttering at strangers.

MissEchelon posted:...don't texans fly the flag every day anyway? Texans fly the Texan flag every day; flying the US flag is a more occasional concession.  EDIT: for reals though, I've never lived in any state where non-governmental people used their state flag so much, and I've lived in about a dozen states. Washington DC takes a distant second, but that's partially because we have a badass flag and also a huge chunk of the city just moved here in the last few years and has a desperate need to show their DC-ness as quickly as possible.

Poland is probably going to become an economic powerhouse in the next few decades because in 1999 or so, they decided to make education a serious national priority. They now have one of the best education systems in the world. but taxes!!

Letter to the editor in the Los Angeles Times: quote:To the editor: As a member of Sen. Dianne Feinstein's generation, I have been bothered for some time by an unease that ageism is now the last bastion of socially acceptable prejudice. Examples of what amount to ridicule and near-contempt abound in various media.
