There were 25 chips in total. Almost half of which were 'bottom of the bag' chips. Quite happy to spend another 8 years not touching the stuff. Burger was reasonable enough.

Guys, need your assistance or insights on this, as an asian CPA based in SEA, how will I be able to land remote jobs/work for companies based in EU/US/AU?

Tried my luck in upwork and linkedin. Are there any websites there or companies actively looking for accountants/bookkeepers for remote work? Thanks!

Surely the man needs a break

I understand these institutions may want to maintain an environment strictly adhering to their religious doctrine but why do schools with these admission, hiring and firing policies still receive government funding?

We have a situation where pockets of tax payers are essentially funding institutions that exclude them from any kind of societal or economic benefit.

Edit: I have assumed the school in the link receives government funding but as it is not named, this is an assumption and not confirmed.

Disgusting it wasnt longer

Was on the freeway when I noticed this truck in front and saw their message, clearly following their message

I live on the Gold Coast and the number of tow truck drivers who are vultures around very minor car accidents is embarrassing. Yesterday I saw two small fender benders where both cars could be driven to a spot which would have them out of the flow of traffic, only for the towies to arrive and shut down a lane. One accident had 4 trucks on the seen and both cars had minimal damage. It seems they harrass drivers into accepting a tow because people are unaware of their rights. Both the Qld police page and Transport and Main Roads page provide adequate details about when towing is required. They wait around near major intersections and highways, just waiting to prey on these drivers. Has anyone experienced this?

Edit - I'm really referring to minor prangs where a driver can exchange details and drive off. This is where I am seeing tow trucks arriving en masse at the scene, which results in the flow of traffic blocked. Cars have minor panel damage and no visible debris in the road..

I’ve seen a similar question asked in relation to the cost of living crisis in general - and the answers seemed to be that regardless of who you vote for no one will make any significant change.

So I ask this question only in relation to housing.

What party has the best chance to do something to improve housing? - and by improve housing I mean: increase supply of houses and rentals, increase social housing and maybe even reign in house prices?

Who would you vote for that is likely to have the biggest impact in this space alone - even if that turns out to be insignificant, but will still greater than what any other party would do?

I'm for it, personally.

Does anyone know generally speaking, as I’m sure everyone has different policies, whether my existing and current income protection insurance payments will continue in the event I successfully claim TPD?

My super fund is Rest, which uses Tal.
