Oh cool that's the kind of thing I wouldn't usually play but reckon I'll have time to enjoy over the next couple weeks. Great suggestion!

Years ago I read something online about "target fixation" which can occur when walking past someone. It's basically that thing when you lock eyes with someone walking towards you and neither of you can decide which way to go?

Anyway the thing I read said just look past the person, like just focus behind them and you can usually avoid this weird awkwardness. I've found it totally works!

We pay for it with taxes so it's not really free but yeah, the Medicare system means you don't pay for hospital visits. Plenty of people still chose to get private health insurance but it's more of a luxury than anything I think.

I broke my collarbone in two places just yesterday, currently in a hospital bed and will potentially get surgery this afternoon and don't expect to pay much at all, it's a good system.

"Seelampur processes approximately 30,000 tonnes (33,069 tons) of e-waste daily, providing employment to nearly 50,000 informal workers"

That's a whole lot of e-waste. Planned obsolescence is just another example of corporate greed ruining the environment for short term profit. It's infuriating that it's just business as usual at this point.

I was working in a hotel kitchen and one of the waitresses told me I was more beautiful when I smiled. That was in like 2012 and I still remember it.

I know exactly what you mean! If they stick the landing on the 3rd one it could be up there with the all time great film trilogies in my opinion. Fingers crossed!!
