I’ve never been a fan of external exam for these reasons. So much potential for errors in high stakes situations.

Yeah, unless there’s more of an overview and review process that’s going to create an awful exam.

My favourite exam-writing story that should get more press. www.smh.com.au/education/vc...

As a teacher that has been involved with writing state external exams, it is a real skill. It is complex, and more academics need to sit exams themselves to remind them of that fact.

Large ego, low self-confidence. A tragic combination.

I don’t even worry about turnitin results anymore. If a student can craft a well written essay with AI, it means they do know something, and they’ve probably done some serious editing, which also means they know something.

Why do people vote for this sort of bullshit?

Can you explain for a foreigner? What are the exchanges he’s talking about?

No vibe-coding, I bet.

I have read one concern is that in some uses, the ice engine frequently doesn’t run long enough to get to operating temp, and can reduce the life of the engine. Any thoughts on that?

I see a few suggestions for blood sugar/diabetes, which are all good suggestions. Have you thought about the possibility of being coeliac? A friend's son (late teenage/early 20s) had this sort of response to eating gluten, otherwise no symptoms.

Just saw this on the news. Massive security detail, highway shut down. I’m hoping the conference organisers paid for all that and not the taxpayers.

This is their strategy to walk back their aim of setting up iPhone factories in the US.

They’ve also turned people around for not having enough luggage.

I sort of get a show. You volunteer for a bit, probably get free entry to the show and get a look around. But a commercial showroom is just weird.

How much are their shares worth to get to a return equal to minimum wage, I wonder?

Probably expects the poor and disabled to pull themselves up by their own bootstraps though.

Also at a previous job once telling the boss his mates, whom he promoted, were incompetent dickheads. It probably was unprofessional, but to be fair it was also true.

And when you say Liberals on the Gold Coast, I assume that means LNP who choose to sit in the Liberal room? I’m not sure of the consequences of the coalition breakup in this regard.

We’re both in the same boat. Not yet 55, and a good sleep is worth its weight in gold.

Probably also a decision that other people want to ensure they’re not associated with when it goes pear-shaped.

They do despair and misery very well. It’s why the original version of The Office is just so much darker and soul destroying than the American version.

Sounds like he would only be happy if MPs won with 100% of the vote so everyone is represented. I do know of countries where that happens…

A unicameral parliament would. Using PR to elect members I wouldn’t know about, but now I’m curious. I assumed the constitution prescribed single member electorates, but perhaps not?

Or have been kicked in the backside by voters, and find it easier to blame the system than themselves for losing.

Most of these Teals are campaigning in what used to be safe Liberal seats. Not much point the ALP putting many funds in to those seats.
