Cancer rates in Australians under 50 are rising at a pace that's alarming doctors and scientists

  • Annoyingly sometimes a main road or highway is the only way to find relatively flat terrain. Where I live the moment you are off the main road you're into endless hills, makes it difficult if you're trying to keep your heart rate in a certain range!

    Though completely agree about using suburban streets for running. Much nicer than major roads!

    • Erin Patterson found guilty of three counts of murder

  • Same, there seemed to be a constellation of evidence but nothing that definitively showed she was going to murder her guests. It will be interesting as I read somewhere that she can still appeal this decision, I assume to the high court if they'll accept it.

    Family of Warlpiri man who died after being restrained by police in supermarket demand independent inquiry

  • I'm surprised it's not something that the coroner would be referred to. Though, I wonder if they're waiting to see what the findings are from the autopsy. From what I had read last they hadn't identified a definitive cause of death.

    • Australian comedian ditches US trip due to concern she could be denied entry over Trump jokes

  • I think it's fascinating that you can really define their style of free speech as freedom to discriminate while pretty much the rest of the world treats free speech as freedom from discrimination.

    'Limited incentive' for Coles and Woolworths to compete vigorously on price, and margins have risen, ACCC finds

    We can’t keep relying on the ADF to respond to natural disasters – how to rebuild our emergency volunteer workforce [SES etc]

  • Yeah, I use to volunteer a few hours each week back before I picked up more roles at work. It really does feel fulfilling when you know you're giving back to the community. Would be great if there were provisions to allow more people to volunteer (outside of disaster response which already allows you to take a leave of absence for combat agencies in certain scenarios).

    • The spring Steam sale is happening right now. What games do you want to play but won't buy despite a deep discount and why?

    Jump

  • It's difficult isn't it. Itch.io was my other choice but again it's an American company. It's kind of surprising that an alternative storefront hasn't really started to rise out of SEA + Japan and Korea considering how popular gaming is there.

  • Other than GOG is there even any other storefronts that don't give you a steam key that aren't American?

    • Albanese invokes 'Team Australia' in pitch to buy local after Trump tariffs

    Jump

  • I don't know. By asking Australians to make up their own mind about what they purchase over trying to bring tariffs in retaliation hopefully it will draw less ire from the the US.

    Plus most staple goods are primarily Aussie made and manufactured (bread, milk etc.). So asking to think about Aussie produced products it won't massively increase the cost of living (hopefully).
