I lean into it. “Oh you only slept for 20 mins? I feel great, I got a full 8 hours. I don’t even drink caffeine because I sleep so well”.

We call that a tactical vom in my circle of friends. My mate was known for it back in the day!

In Australia you can send money via phone number or email (called payid) but it’s not sent in an email or SMS, it’s just that your number/email address is used as a unique identifier linked to your bank account. When someone pays you via either of those, the money gets directed into that account instantly.

And yes, being paid directly into your bank account is standard here and I would say really the only option for most jobs. I’m 35 and have never had a job that doesn’t pay you direct to your account.

Yeah Australia is slightly different to the US in that it’s huge but there are very few people living here. Take the largest state: Western Australia which is literally 4 times the size of Texas. But do people drive from Adelaide (capital of South Australia) to Perth (capital of Western Australia)? No, not generally. It takes 28 hours of non-stop driving. And the thing is, there is hardly anything in between. This means you have to be careful about fuel stops and maybe even have a satellite phone. Look up the Nullarbor Plain of you’re interested.

People “from the country” might drive several hours to visit relatives and you might drive 3-4 hours to go to a camping/holiday destination, but if you’re headed to another major city, you are most likely going to fly.

The closest other capital city to Adelaide is Melbourne but that’s still ~8 hours away by car. But there is a really nice scenic route called the Great Ocean Road which you would usually do over a a few days.

Their hand is half in very clear water.

They took it further than the incorrect “would of” just to fuck with us.

Yeah that is the only explanation but it’s just an obsession at that point… Keeping power to the literal death sounds like mental illness to me.

Imagine not wanting to retire when you clearly have a shit tonne of money and could live a very comfortable and happy retirement. He probably could have retired like 40 years ago too. I don’t get it.

They meant that they’ll live just fine. You see, they will be dead before climate change decimates our planet. 🤷‍♂️

It seems like a lot of developers have responded already but I’m a c# developer with some experience in Rust so I’ll see if I can help with any issues that crop up on GitHub.
