Don't @ me about long term price charts - I've been hodling for years and I'm here for the long haul.
Lol, every time the price goes up there's a cohort of maxis who act like it's never going to go down again.
Nostr nests seem really cool. I just wish I had a use for it.
There is nothing specific in the report from my skimming: https://rbareview.gov.au/sites/rbareview.gov.au/files/2023-04/rbareview-report.pdf
Basically says “diversity” over and over, my god these people are absolute fukn commies.
Watch them put Sally McManus in to one of these seats. They’ve been running this angle for a while: https://www.actu.org.au/actu-media/media-releases/2022/actu-calls-for-rba-overhaul
Yeah - get Sally in there, along with Stan Grant and Catherine McGregor.
I haven't come across any info on who appoints the board and what sort of checks and balances will be in place, but you have to assume this is not being done to fix anything but to enable a more sophisticated form of grift.
This one's a given really but I shouldn't assume that you know it. If you don't then welcome to some of the most innovative electronically produced music released in 2001. It still holds up today and I think it probably always will. I first heard this at an Aphex Twin gig in Cambridge, England in 1996 (!). There were two people dancing around on-stage dressed fully in teddy bear outfits with masks of Mr Twin's faces on them. One bear was bright pink and the other was bright green.
I think that was the best sound quality I've ever heard at a gig.

I'm so jealous you've seen Mr Twin live. He visited Australia once in the 90s and I missed it.
More people should read Clark Ashton Smith. While Lovecraft's work may be more unsettling, Smith's wrote better prose and his work is generally more batshit crazy, often tending more toward the fantasy of his other contemporary at Weird Tales, Robert E. Howard. He was also a fine poet in the mould of Ernest Dowson or Lionel Johnson. Penguin Classics released an anthology of his short stories and poetry, edited by ST Joshi, which I highly recommend if you haven't read him before and enjoy weird fiction.

Yeah, I didn't have what you'd call a sensible caffeine addiction to start with. We tend to drink our coffee quite strong in Australia and I used to have 5 or 6 a day.
THAT'S why they don't want you to quit!
Could be. I'm not anti-caffeine but I honestly found nicotine to be a more productive addiction in terms of what it actually gave me.
The main benefit is that you're no longer dependent on caffeine to get through the day. You sleep better, wake up better. To be honest though, it was the withdrawal that convinced me not to go back - it just seemed to me that anything that had that kind of effect on your circulation and nervous system probably wasn't a good thing.
I found the idea of a bunch of health websites telling people not to break an addiction perverse.
Quitting caffeine is one of the best things I ever did. I hadn't even intended to at first but when I looked into it every online source insisted that I shouldn't, which just made me determined to quit on the spot. The withdrawal was brutal though.
You know, a little "healthcare" might cure those feelings of paranoia, anon.
