Could they at least give it a dark mode with all that empty space?

Kids books would be a big part of the market too. You need to have the physical books out on displayso kids can look at them and grab them.

I'd try go independent either book stores or toy shops first but Booktopia would be the next place to look after that for kids books

I've bought from digiDirect before and it seems like they're doing the right thing by Booktopia's old employees.

I'll keep buying from them if they make it possible to browse the website with some privacy extensions running

Here's a handy PDF: https://www.accc.gov.au/about-us/publications/the-little-black-book-of-scams

Two tips I can think of are:

  • financial institutions never include links in emails. They ask you to search for their website and login there
  • Push back against any time pressure callers make. The police are never on their way during a call with the ATO. Stay calm and say you'll call them back. That's the last thing scammers want because you'll call the real ATO and the problem won't exist.

I've been thinking of something for more scam conscious people as well; you'd never say a lock can't be broken or some software can't be hacked, we should take the same approach and think we could be scammed at any time ourselves. It's not that we're immune to scams, it's that we haven't encountered one good enough to fool us yet

I only did it once a week and I would ride about halfway home then get the train. I did make it all the way home once but it was a slog. My cycling computer said the ride in was about an hour and a half

I saw the thoughtslime video on loblaws and they did one earlier on the telecom situation in Canada. It should be a warning on how bad things can get herr

He's another strong contender. People can use his office in whatever his next gig is

He would be a strong contender. On a related note I thought Menzies would be appropriate. Not because he was overly horrible, but because everytime conservatives want name some new think tank or something they name it after him.

The gist is meant to be he spoke about an investment strategy only rich people are meant to know about live on air.

It would be nice to see something done about the platforms that display these ads. This isn't just spam, they're accepting money to put these in front of people.
