TheHeadSage posted:Mitre 10 has quality wood and stuff, as well as helpful people, where the Bunnings staff just grunt and hope you go away. I'm 90% sure that Bunnings only pay junior wages, and that their recruitment/hiring process is largely based around making sure that they can do this as much as possible, so even if they are just grunting they are probably working harder than they should for their pay.

I see plenty of older people working at Bunnings, it's just that outside of some luxury sectors knowledgeable and skilled retail workers simply don't exist. As much as people complain about it, they prefer lower prices to better staff.

Mr Chips posted:I've worked at 4 AU unis now, and it's been my experience that the assessment of PhDs is largely up the faculties/schools. Central administration certainly doesn't make subject specific assessments of thesis content. All the central admin/exec seem to care about is that each PhD candidate is funded, and nothing that might generate bad publicity happens. Also I didn't mean to imply there's anything wrong with humanities, just that it seems like an inappropriate place for what is essentially a thesis about science.

While this particular thesis is probably junk (I haven't read it and the media are notoriously bad at reporting on this kind of thing), it is important that science be evaluated from from non-scientific perspectives.

ShoeFly posted:Never thought I'd see a "Buzzfeed / BBC Investigation". Holy hell. There was an interview on the ABC a while back with someone high up at Buzzfeed and they were saying that they were keen to branch out into serious journalism. They had the massive reader numbers already, it was just a matter for them to hire some actual journalists capable of producing more than clickbait.

I guess if you've got the money from dumb poo poo like clickbait you can afford to hire real journalists to actually do journalism. It's like exactly the opposite process the traditional news media is going through.

Masters had a much better range of plants and better quality, although with that in mind both businesses are seriously loving over the nursery industry so gently caress them both.

I'm going to miss getting my weekend sausage sizzle from Masters near us. Thankfully there's a Bunnings 200m away that also has them so it's not a big loss, although the plant range was much better at Masters.

Most recent is free public transport for seniors and pensioners. Alp released the thought bubble of the reintroduction of trams yesterday. Unfortunately it's just a thought bubble because trams are great! But there's the more immediate existing transport infrastructure issues that need addressing first, and that are cheaper. Qld greens are still working on trams, its just that it is so big it needs a lot of work to get from front page of the courier mail to a policy.

Re: buzzfeed going into more serious journalism: Over the last year Facebook (which is where most of the clickbait sites get >70% of their traffic, often close to 90%) have severely restricted the reach their clickbait stuff gets, to both people who like the pages but also how often it gets seen by friends, etc, to make it a lot harder for their information to go viral. Their shift to more journalistic, unique content is to increase the quality of their site so they get a greater reach across social media. Not to mention when they make big scoops/good articles like that it's kind of like the NYT, your average dumb poo poo clickbait site isn't going to be able to do something similar, which gives them an extra USP in a market where almost everything is completely copied to poo poo. It also helps build their brand since they've separated themselves from all the sites like The Little Things.

What possible reason do the Australian Measurement Institute have for accessing the data? I mean a lot of those groups dont have a good reason either, but this one stuck out the most.
