Forty percent of people who die of Covid being vaccinated is not the same as 40% of people who catch Covid dying. It's true that the common cold doesn't kill 40% of people who catch one, but 40% of people who catch Covid isn't the number dying either. There may be a comparison to be made between common cold and Covid case fatality rates but this isn't it.

Tourists gonna tourist!

At the risk of derailing a discussion that includes potentially useful advice like this, the thread asks for advice for newbies. Trying to pick high and low points in the market is something that professional investors often can't do. New players are often best advised not to attempt it. Plenty of the advice offered has been good, of course.

That's interesting, in Australia interest is only tax deductible if the money has been borrowed to use for an income producing purpose, the collateral is irrelevant. So in your example, it would be the fact that it was used for a new property that made it a tax deduction not how you got the loan. Having a contractor do work at your home and include it in a job at an investment property (or attributing any other personal expenses to it) would be 'do not pass go, do not collect $200' material in this country. If someone wants property investments, there are mutual funds and ETFs that cover that market, and they enable you to make smaller investments and to spread them. Critically, obtain independent financial advice and tax advice from licensed advisers.

This gladdened my heart when I read it on twitter this morning. Everything I needed to know in life was imparted through cartoons: especially carry an umbrella everywhere in case a mouse throws an anvil or grand piano on your head

ABC journalists are always calm and composed when reporting the news: https://twitter.com/mjrowland68/status/1536457934942932993?s=20&t=J2EythntyVoFzYpaqBjC9w

Guys, cool it. He obviously doesn't want to be talked about here constantly, and given the fire storm when he is, why would he? Why assume he has something to hide? How about we talk about whether he is good as an escort rather than play pointless whack-a-mole?

I don't know either, I don't remember what variety the revaccination (as the booklet calls it) was. I know the fading is irrelevant, it was just that its fading meant I couldn't find it as confirmation of the vaccination.

I had the scar variety (my vaccination certificate has the annotation where it was read as successful after a week) but the scar has mostly faded.

I lied, qualification is not finished. In the final game, Aotearoa/NZ play Costa Rica in the CONCACAF/Oceania intercontinental playoff tonight.

This doesn't address the OP's specific question and it a couple of months old but from scanning it, it addresses some newish-investor questions. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-02-17/investing-ideas-how-to-protect-your-portfolio-from-a-volatile-market?sref=ExvOhfnN It's behind a paywall but they allow some free articles each month.

As far as I recall it was a requirement to re-enter Australia (except for coming from NZ), not destination-specific.

I dug out my yellow book when I had my Covid shots (book not needed) and checking it just now, I had my smallpox vax in 1976 for an overseas trip and a revaccination in 1980. The notes in the book say the certificate is valid for three years.

The qualification rounds are now over and the teams to meet in Qatar in November are decided, now let the tournament begin. But first. AUSTRALIA DEFEATS PERÚ 5-4 ON PENALTIES Australia has qualified the hard way finishing third in one of the two Asian qualification groups. We had to defeat the third place getter in the other group, the UAE [2-1 last week], and then the 5th place South American team, both games played in Qatar. That was Perú.

One of the conspicuous cases of food price inflation in this country has been for the price of lettuce to rocket*. This thread quote tweets a tweet from the Queensland police, and the comments are worth a read. The one about the police having to 'seize her salad' in a favourite of mine. https://twitter.com/ItsBouquet/status/1536236228131323905?s=20&t=QnQGTLcHmtE5Lcx5HDbdxQ *what Americans call arugula is called rocket here.

Moderator's Note It is probably about time to circle back to the topic of the thread and away from the constitutional issues beyond the succession that surround the monarchy (and comparisons with other systems). We'll take action as appropriate with posts that stray too far into the political realm.

You're making quite the art-form today of misunderstanding everything to do with the subject.

Bon anniversaire.

Bon anniversaire!!!

This is incredibly sad news, for her friends and family of course, but also for those of us here who followed her posts. Vale, you Salty Broad.

So, our own Jubilee to mark that other one.

Series would be fine, parallel not so much!
