1L juice for comparison. You guys got these at your local? First time getting them in Brisbane. I use the paper bags for collecting recycling so the new size sucks for this.

No it’s a well-studied woman thing.

“… women tend to be underestimated more. They tend to be interrupted, more talked over more. They have to prove their competence more and we often feel uncomfortable when they're in positions of authority.” https://www.forbes.com/sites/michelleking/2021/10/26/the-authority-gap-why-women-are-still-taken-less-seriously-than-men/?sh=3ed8223e634d

TIL Australian Sushi is a thing! It never occurred to me that they don’t have the easy to hold rolls in other parts of the world. I think they make up like 10% of my diet haha.

Microwave Watt?? Converts cooking instructions to whatever your actual microwave is (mine’s a shitty 700w beast so I have to add about 50% cooking time to most things). http://www.microwavewatt.com/

Mass produced Knick knacks. Those useless ornaments that just seem to accumulate on bookshelves, fireplaces and cabinets.

Would the Australian (NSW) laws apply here because that’s where it happened? They updated their sexual consent laws not long ago and their easy reader is pretty clear that a kiss is considered part of that. Not sure how it would be charged under the criminal code: https://dcj.nsw.gov.au/documents/children-and-families/family-domestic-and-sexual-violence/domestic-and-sexual-violence-hotlines/dcj_easy_read_sexual_consent_digital_accessible.pdf

Probably a dissenter but I like having all those stories in one place now. I think the community is too new to start subdividing it up too.

Book #6 was released earlier this week, with the final #7 due next year.

Those who have read, what did you think of it?

I’m 68% of the way through according to my Kindle, but I’m enjoying it a lot more than the last 2 books already!

Series description:

Red Rising is a 2014 dystopian science fiction novel by American author Pierce Brown, and the first book and eponym of a series. The novel, set in the future on Mars, follows lowborn miner Darrow as he infiltrates the ranks of the elite Golds.

Australians will soon be able to ban themselves from all online gambling companies in every state and territory using just one form, almost five years after legislation was introduced to parliament.

A national self-exclusion register for online gambling dubbed “BetStop” will be launched on 21 August, the federal government says. It will replace systems in the states and territories that have been criticised as ineffective as they do not cover all bookmakers

There’s also an anonymous opinion piece from an affected person here: https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2023/jul/10/betstop-australian-anti-gambling-register?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other

If you’re thinking “why can’t they just not gamble?” There’s also an excellent You Can’t Ask That episode about problem gamblers on iView (Season 2 if you’re looking for it).
