Given we are talking about meat I thought your linked plot looked weird (Australia was way too small). Then I realised that you have to select 'Animal' rather than 'Food Products' to see just meat imports, with the expec

Ha. It's kind of like saying; 'Shit, why are people paying 6 figures for college degrees in US when they could just learn most of that for free'. Because no one gives a shit if you don't have the expensive piece of parch

Yes! I dream of traffic that moves and integrates seamlessly almost like a school of fish, because of near-instant communication between vehicles - an automotive hive mind. Imagine not needing traffic lights because each car at the intersec

In most situations small claims court is generally self-represented, with claims for legal costs capped at a certain level dependent on the amount being claimed. For example, in NSW, Australia, there is a different cap for costs under $1000

Last year they had 3-6 month delays on passing on booking fees to their partners due to 'technical difficulties'. While big chains were made whole as priority, many smaller operators risked bankruptcy or were put out of business.

Yes of course the Patriot Act ushered in all kinds of mischief and scope creep. But the case here, in my opinion, is a legitimate one. We know videos such as this fuel further extremism on both sides of the divide. The fact that a Govt even
