  • Cash was meant to be dying. But new RBA data tells a different story

  • It won't take effect until later this year. I'm talking about the time between now and when it takes effect.

  • The card surcharges are so annoying. I'm moving to cash until they ban them.

  • 'One thing after another': The almost $20,000 penalty for being single in Australia

    Jump

  • It is true that it's harder to date when you're poor. Try taking a woman out to dinner and asking her to pay for you. See if you get a second date.

  • Dating also costs money, which excludes some people. and people are less datable if they're unemployed.

    Both can be contributing factors.

  • "also". It doesn't have to be one or the other. Both could be contributing factors, and it looks like the research didn't control for either.

  • It could also be a correlation rather than causation. People with more money might be better at finding partners.

  • Oh yeah, and also that other comedian I've forgotten the name of. What a dick.

  • What's a gadget or appliance that you purchased that you would wholeheartedly recommend to others?

    Jump

  • Wireless charger for my phone. No more fiddling with cables.

    Some little wireless ear buds. I just got cheap ones but I use them all the time, they're small, the case charges them, so they last ages. The sound quality of mine is mediocre, but I'm sure there are ones with better sound.

  • Albanese announces crackdown on gambling ads, but falls well short of Labor’s own calls for total ban

    Jump

  • It's a good start, but falls short of what we need. Let's hope this is the beginning and not the end of gambling reform.

  • Australians love cars. Many Australians hate bike lanes. Now, they are completely screwed

    Jump

  • Biking in Melbourne is relatively good compared to many other cities. I hope this fuel crisis gets more people in the habit of riding more often.

  • What would you pick to be reincarnated as AND WHY?

    Jump

  • A clown. They're pretty funny

  • Victoria and Tasmania offer free public transport — but not every state is on board

    Jump

  • I'm in Melbourne. It's like $5 for a 2 hour fare. If you're going 100km in that 2hr it's a great deal. But if you're going 1 or 2km it's cheaper to drive.

  • What is the most overrated song of all time?

    Jump

  • Is it overrated? Everyone outside America hates it.

  • Solar is winning the energy race - The world’s cheapest power source is scaling at warp speed, pushing coal, gas and nuclear aside

    Jump

  • I love solar, but this article is misleading. It says ~2000 people died as a result of the Fukushima nuclear disaster. While technically true, only 1 person has died from radiation related to the event. The other deaths were as people were evacuating the exclusion zone (eg. Old people who couldn't get medical treatment during the evacuation).

  • How can I be a better drummer?

  • You can really enjoy the practicing though. I used to love playing scales. It was meditative
