No, companies have an entirely different portal, or a human agent. You typically pay under net30 terms or similar, not random credit cards.…

You can't be disqualified for being too fast, only for not using the same technique. This is a feature in almost every single Olympic sport…

They haven't been a thing since rona. Supply chains got screwy, and they didn't want to take on the risk. Bunch of people who thought it…

The comparison that the risk of injury to scooter riders being the same is completely missing the point - the council didn't ban them…

Looks like nearly their whole range is reduced right now. Which is good, because I need new cocktail glasses.

Eh, it's more that somebody who fell through the cracks of the country's education system poked their head out of the grass and everybody…

Embrace the bathroom sink undies wash. Pair of jeans and some quickdry shirts and you can live out of a suitcase for a year.

Why do low bandwidth systems need 5G?

Oh boy, I didn't think they were that dumb. 'low band' 5G isn't 5G at all, it runs at 4G speeds at best, just with a 5G label, and with…

Keeping 3G is a dumb idea, but Telstra aren't being entirely honest there either. What they almost certainly mean by that is they're going…

No, you have no evidence. The reason to have a backup between what is essentially the same tech in terms of SRE is for *intentional*…

So yes, your claim of paying people differently based on whether they were in the union or not was entirely wrong. And no, the scarebaiting…

Think harder. Do you believe they would be offered 5% increases if they didn't know the union was going to come along asking for 8%? This…

If you don't know how things work, don't talk as though you do, it looks ridiculous. If you THINK you know how things work because you read…

Easy enough when it's one role, perhaps, but if you do it en masse to a unionised workforce you'd best have some serious budget allocated…

It's *BECAUSE* they have a strong union that they don't end up with significantly lower incomes. How on earth are people this blind, it's…

As an academic... uni courses ARE government accredited and audited. The organisation is TEQSA, and it places controls on what can be…
