The whole knife thing is aimed at youth crime where kids can basically gently caress up their lives because they are carrying weapons and might actually use them. The Queensland trains also have 'em and also IIRC there have been more than a few cases of kids/young adults killing people and really adding barriers can help to reduce that.

It's true. Under Victorian law, if three or more African youths gather together at any time, they are legally classified as a knife.

"A major factor to be considered when drawing up a will is what effect a legacy could have on a beneficiary. As you have learnt, a widow can lose her pension if all the money was left to her instead of being judiciously spread among family members.

Just keep in mind that the full pension for a single home owner is $28,000 a year and your portfolio is already giving you almost as much and will almost certainly grow. An aged pension appears out of the question but you would certainly qualify for a Commonwealth Seniors Health Card."

Covid's death toll was 7500% higher than influenza last year.

On track to be a smaller number this year, but still many times higher than the flu. Covid's not going to be in line with the flu for a long while.

But anyway, yes, the article says there are still 17 clinics, so honestly it probably does make sense to close a few.

Sucks if it's one close to you or your patients, though.

I remember reading how advocates tackled it in New York and something they did was move away from calling it Airbnb or whatever other stupid startup name is in the same market, and instead call them "illegal hotels".

We can all learn from our past mistakes.

I remember years ago in a forgotten Auspol thread someone posted a question to Noel which was literally "My wife and I are retired and we have a little over a million in savings and an investment property in addition to the home we live in. How can we get by on our pension?"

This has the same wonderful energy. I am sure JBP has an excellent take on this financial matter.

That just seems like pretty good advice in general? Dishwasher doors can be pretty ideal tripping hazards, and leaving the knives blade up means you might cut or stab yourself while putting other utensils in or taking them out.

As for falling on the dishwasher drawer, I would think you'll probably do substantial damage to yourself whether the thing is loaded or not if you hit it square on.
