  • I used to work for V/Line, more than a decade ago, I don't know much about current events, my only tidbit is that I found the RTBU to be disappointing.

  • Expensive school uniforms don't make kids better at maths, so why are schools so focused on them?
  • Because public schools have to compete with private schools, the uniforms make them look comparable and has more of an effect on the parents perception of value of the school.

    Each public school gets funding dependant on enrolment, the end result is absurd pricing for single income parents. When I was in High School we could get a $7 shirt from Big W and look identical to other students minus the logo.

  • I've only seen the cross-over episode on SNW, It's very much not my sense of humour but I'm happy for there to be more types of shows for more people, so long as I get my TNG style shows.

    What are your thoughts about SNW S02E08 [SPOILER]

    In regards to Dr M'Benga killing the diplomat?

    I supposed this is two questions, whether a federation doctor should have been written to have killed a person as well as how Captain Pike / Starfleet should handle it in Season 3.

    Does anyone have experience with Asrock monitors?

    I'm looking at the ASRock PG27FF1A 27” FHD IPS 165Hz FreeSync Premium monitor, the price is in AUD so it's closer to $125 before tax.

    I am content with 1080p at 27', it's what I am currently using and my 3050 laptop isn't appropriate to increase the resolution. My laptop has HDMI 2.1 output.
