Phonetics was used in WA at least as early as the 70s.

My understanding is that another method, where kids were expected to just spell and pronounce words as they believed, replaced it. Unfortunately, the alternate method was essentially dogshit, and there's been a push to return to phonetics over the last decade or so. The ABC or SBS did a doco on it.

She lives in a bubble. Same as Bolt, who also blamed the voters. They've removed themselves from the mainstream, and can't fathom the masses thinking fundamentally different from them.

Even a walloping with the clue stick, like what happened on Saturday, isn't enough to shake their faith that they're right. That's why they blame the media, the left, the immigrants, anyone but themselves.

Maybe Sony should have some things cutoff for that root kit, hmmm?

Can you play Roblox? I thought they blocked it on Linux.

As an alternative for both, try searXNG.

https://searx.space/ for instances.

https://github.com/searxng/searxng for the code, you can run your own instance.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/SearXNG for the wikipedia article.

Personally, I find it returns much better results than anything currently available elsewhere. It reminds me of a time when search actually worked. Also, no ads and no tracking.

BTW, different instances can supply poorer results than others, so shop around to find the best one for you.

Maybe he didn't have the money to launch a suit.

That's great if you have one of the handful of phones supported, but for the rest of us, not so much.

Bicycles and kick scooters will be banned from footpaths that are next to cycling lanes from the fourth quarter of this year. They must stick to the cycling lane instead. Only personal mobility aids like motorised scooters will be allowed on these pedestrian-only paths. These will have a speed limit of 6 km/h by the end of next year. The Land Transport Authority says this is to keep paths safer for all, especially seniors and young children.
