Covid, yes, but not widespread lockdowns (and some other stuff from the “early covid” period) which is basically what the article is reflecting on. For example, I hadn’t really thought about how it could affect child social development due to significantly reduced social exposure.
This isn’t really a “covid is over” piece. ‘It’s still a serious human pathogen’ wouldn’t be a sub-heading if it was.
Good stuff, sometimes aggressive measures need to be taken to look out for the interest of the shareholders. Plus the fuel discount is a perfectly timed Christmas gift, exactly what Australia needs in a cost of living crisis. Bravo Woolies, very proud to have my superannuation invested in a company that cares!
I agree it’s a useful insight, but it’s the only sentence in the entire article that isn’t instead discussing the merits of lump sum vs regular payment. Saying that “it’s the takeaway” from the linked article is insanity.
The Wikipedia page for Hitler includes the sentence:
The stock market in the United States crashed on 24 October 1929.
That doesn’t make it the takeaway of the article!! If you want to make a case for something, bring the right evidence. As the researchers themselves have said, this study can’t just be generalized to high-income countries.
I’ve never seen the stats before and 8% seems really high?? Is there some subset of Australia that tips all the time that I rarely see?
Edit: nvm, the stat is confusing as other commenter pointed out.
The number of payments with tips has remained stable throughout the last year with 0.52% of payments throughout the hospitality sector including a tip in August 2023, according to Lightspeed.
Given that they remind readers what brands an Android phone phone could be, I don’t think the article is aimed at many aussie zoners.
I guess they’re trying to drive home that the scammer isn’t coming at you with a poorly worded email riddled with typos here - the overlay can look legitimate (even if in some cases it still has typos lol). Probably would’ve been a bit much for them to cover every banking interface tbf.
Full episode on YT for anyone interested in checking it out!
Edit: and here on ABC itself.
A couple of personal highlights:
Finding optimal CO values that are long-term stable across all workloads (namely: idle) is such an enormous PITA though X_X

Welcome to the statistically-likely club!
Regarding Fedia.io, it’s currently inaccessible as I’m working with developers to debug the problems and sadly symfony exposes way too much in debug mode
Not that it really matters much, but here’s the original version of the image: https://www.gettyimages.com/detail/photo/google-android-phone-characters-group-royalty-free-image/458243847
It actually sounds like the van’s panels (I’m guessing especially the large roof panel) can provide non-trivial power:
No doubt the huge array of panels on his roof can give it a lot more juice though!
