@s8mb Similar thing has happened in Aus just recently - government axed the 50% 'discount' on capital gains tax for assets held beyond 12 months that was meant to be the compensation for lack of indexation. Plenty of people celebrating the removal of a 'tax dodge' etc

@nickschadegg They didn't have a lot of TVs playing sports at the red room at UQ when I was there - somewhere Drew was for something like 10 years

@dannolan @tommyfromsydney not having a line for NDIS waste is understandable but sad. Should be on the order of $20b in addition to the (likely understated anyway) fraud and non-compliance number. But no doubt Opus 4.8 sternly told our website owner it couldn’t include such a thing

@Romy_Holland @mbateman My 18m old routinely gives me 30min while she plays with her toys etc (if she has slept well, fed, feels content etc.). And her nap can be up to 2 hours.

Wife is trying to teach toddler to refer to me as “Bozo”. Not sure I have powerful enough countermeasures for this

@johncoogan @TheStalwart @___4o____ Best thing about this tweet is the awful Google product naming. Bang on

[Local maniac @moneyreflux]

@mumbletwits Yeah it’s ugly, and a side effect as it stands is that it will heavily incentivise as much aggregation of assets as possible (so heavily incentivise the most aggregated ETFs etc)

@SkullSpeedDeal Looking forward to her making murder illegal too - enough is enough

@MarkDiStef no one could ever mistake the MIT mafia for being charming

@db_econ @dannolan deeply jealous

@dannolan @db_econ the other day my work copilot popped up with a tooltip in OneNote and said “Summarise this?”

So I click yes and it loads a heavy RHS chat panel, thinks for a minute, and then says “Sorry I can’t see that text”

Cunt this was YOUR idea

@DrewPavlou @Noahpinion very funny to suggest that it was cheering that was decisive

@colinismo @kchoudhu Typically I think this is people who already don’t want kids but would like to pretend they have a noble reason for doing so

@NateDuncanNBA Where does Steph's behind the back out of bounds pass sit? Not consequential enough?

@gbrl_dick many councils (including the inner west council of the great city of Sydney) will get you back to weekly if you call up and tell them your bin will have nappies in it
