@forager_gareth Agree. As an international pilot it is indispensable. (Just need to be careful with big transactions, can sometimes be unreliable)

If you're like me, you'll check vs the mid point pricing the first 5-10 times you use Wise. But then you'll realise you don't need to bother. Because here's a business that's not out to skin you and actually lives by scale economies shared principles.

Ironically, the reasons given for building AUKUS content in Australia, despite the additional cost, revolve around sovereignty, security and capability, although we all know these are secondary reasons at best. But maybe that reasoning could be applied where it actually matters?

Plenty of hindsight bias here, but there's clearly no point Australia investing hundreds of billions on nuclear submarines if the country can be brought to its knees easily because of its lack of energy independence.

3 years ago, my nephew was born very prematurely at a weight of only 850 grams (1.87lbs)... Today, we celebrated his 3rd birthday. We thank God for his life and good health! 💜

I swear there are a few thousand fax machines in the UK still operating for the sole purpose of making Companies House disclosures non-machine readable and, ideally, illegible to human eyes. afr.com/wealth/investi…

Can't decide which is crazier - the guy who thinks he could beat a grizzly bear, or the guy who thinks he'd lose a fight to a rat.

@AvidCommentator Although the short term demands of parenting are also high, no other cohort has as clear an incentive to be voting based on their intuition about the long term direction of the country. Pretty damning on that front, especially for the Libs. Also unsurprising.

This is quite interesting, One Nation leads in the primary vote for voters with children under the age of 18. Meanwhile, the Coalition is receiving just 16% of the primary vote of this cohort. Not exactly the "party of aspiration" are they. Chart: Sky News

@Igwah We still buy it clearly, although freshly cut from the deli is miles better. Frank Lowy started out slinging smallgoods from his deli in Blacktown, maybe it's an overlooked gold mine.

@forager_gareth Met the guy that ran marketing for primo in the Maldives a decade ago. Bro was loaded with a house in Vaclause (sp?). The innovation is working - just not for the customer.

@Mangan150 @archi_tradition Český Krumlov. Was an amazing little town 20 years ago. Now overrun with tourists. Go out-of-season if you're still keen
