Carbonated water is slightly more acidic than still, so just be aware of your teeth and guts if you’re drinking heaps of it. Some people take issue with supporting an Israeli owned company, others don’t. There’s always other brands if that suits you, I know aldi does one called soda king that’s interchangeable with Sodastream.

With bonus suffering!

Or if you’re up in the top end, there’s Nawarla Gabarnmung which dates to about 44kya. Some natural rock pillars in the shelter, others modified and others still constructed or relocated.

Why do you feel the need to defend mediocre artist who has demonstrated that he has a complete inability to learn and grow past his horrific behaviour? Hip Hop is littered with abusive, mysoginistic, violent arseholes and each one of them should be called out.

If you’re specifically worried about people talking about how Chris Brown is an abuser, but not Eminem, you can rest easy in the knowledge that he has justifiably been criticised for his behaviour for the entirety of his career. The difference is Eminem never swept any of it under the rug, nor did he shy away from speaking about his problems with drugs and mental health, and the harm he caused because of it, specifically to the women around him.

The same cannot be said for abusers like Bambaataa, his defender KRS, NAS, Dre, Puff Daddy, Chris Brown or any of the other countless motherfuckers who use their money and position within the hip hop community to avoid criticism and consequences for their abhorrent behaviour.

Yeah, but how do you propose I take my van to Fraser Island once a year to drive over turtle nests? That ute that I claim under tax because it’s for “business use only” is a necessity!

Full disclosure, I’m mates with the bass player- the best way to support your friends by paying full price!

They are saying that in this particular opinion piece focussed on this particular topic, yes. It’s disingenuous to argue they only speak out for Muslim heritage when you could easily search their site and find many reports and commentaries on the destruction of historical sites all over the world.

It’s gotta be something from Our Kylie;

Kylie Minogue - Padum Padum https://youtu.be/p6Cnazi_Fi0?si=2gK5W93-kGwL4elZ

Does the song need to be of the past 12 months, or any Australian song?

Bottom left- “et pluribus anus”

I get where you’re coming from, and I can always relate to any scepticism around corporate policy. To clarify, specifically, my thoughts around the workplace, they’re entirely dependent on my own experience in small to medium sized companies in Australia with strong culture and policies around this sort of thing.

I recognise that other regions would have differing levels of enforcement and while not every social situation is equitable to expectations at work, in my personal view it’s pretty cut and dry- you shouldn’t need a rule in a social club specifically banning uninvited sexual comments, it’s just a given that you don’t do that.

I’d suggest, also as a male, that it’s a red flag. He’s a new member and his first instinct is to sexually harass a female member, and then double down when he doesn’t get the response he’s looking for.

In any workplace I’ve been in, he’d be sacked. Why should he be given more leniency in a social situation?

Pretty shocking really

"And that’s not because ancient Romans and Greeks weren’t living to a ripe old age.

Per the article: “While average life expectancy before the common era was roughly half of what it is today, the age of 35 was hardly considered ‘old’ for the time. The median age of death in ancient Greece was, by some estimates, closer to 70 years, which means that half of society was living even longer than that. Hippocrates himself, the famous Greek physician and so-called father of medicine, is thought to have died in his 80s or 90s.”

Great timing, thanks for posting. I’m beginning my own journey with a Bachelor of Archaeology today with equal parts excitement and apprehension.

Time to start practicing then! Try to get out on a couple of grade 3’s in your area before you head over.

I did it with hiking shoes because that’s all I had with me, but I’d recommend hiking boots with good ankle support instead. There’s a short scramble towards the top but it’s not overly difficult.

Another favourite of that trip was the Old Man of Storr up at the Isle of Skye. It’s a less technical hike but much more exposed to the elements and can get windy.

Also, I’m by no means a photographer. Scotland is just so stupidly pretty that you struggle to take a bad photo- get over there!

I took a hike up in to the Lost Valley in Glen Coe on the recommendation of a very drunk Scotsman at a nightclub in Edinburgh. It was the absolute highlight of my trip and I’m so glad I made it.
