Australia... everything here tries to kill SOMETHING :)

Maremmas - yeah we have one, he is still a puppy (size of a horse) - we think that's the only reason the sheep lived and the bites weren't that bad!

Got antibiotics from the Vet. He said they were a suppository on the phone...

Like the old joke, man goes to the doctor and is proscribed a jar of MASSIVE pills.

He exclaims, " I can't swallow those, they're HUGE!"

The Doctor replies, "Well then I've got good news!"

... Our good news was when I got to the vet, the Antibiotics are in an injection form!

That's sort of how it felt to me. If a meal costs $10 with a mandatory 20% tip then in reality the price on the menu is $12 - It's just a way to hide costs and should be treated as such.

Instead of asking "should I Tip" you should be doing the same mental maths you do when you see $9.95 - that's $10 - it's NOT $9 (which most people subconsciously think when they see those prices) - $10 in a restaurant is NOT $10, it's $12

Of course, I'm Australian and we don't have the same Tipping concepts here. Tips are still for bonuses paid for excelled service

Are you worried someone from local council may come along and tell you it is illegal?

What you sound like is very much like a lot of rural Australia. Most of those people have very, very large properties and, well dunno if they consider themselves middle class but they are well off in terms of property at least.

This is terrible bizarre and very sad.

We are in Australia, and we are on tank water, there simply is NO piped water available. We are also on a septic system (no sewerage) - We aren't alone in this, everyone in our local area is the same. If we could afford it we'd get batteries and solar and live entirely off grid but that's damn expensive.

I can understand the government stepping in (as it does here) if you are selling products USING that water to third parties. If you decide to run a kitchen to bake goods for markers for example you need to have the water tested and they may force you to add down pipe gutter leaf guards or to have a small UV sterilizer added to the taps, but fair enough.

Ironically I just got this article popup in my news feed:

British banks consider emoji as password replacement

I think there is a need, for options at least. We seem to be stuck with passwords, lots of them, and a lot of people eager to get their hands on them.

I'd definitely urge you to flesh your App out and give it a go on the market :)

" because they can't be bothered remembering passwords"

Isn't part of the issue we have to use passwords we are now no longer ABLE to remember (this LastPass etc). They have to be long, they can't be words, they have to be a mix of characters and you need a different one for every web site you go to.

I don't see myself remember z00Yfy59gCpJZN7s and cqCTWQWJd3qDv any time soon. Even using the idea ThatYouCanMakeASentanceAndKeepEveryFirstLetter sort of thing doesn't work when the number of passwords an average person needs to have is in the hundreds.

We really need something other than passwords

Just reading the Blog linked above ME3 was the final one with that character. This time you play new people (male or female, not the person in the video) and in a new galaxy

Well I'm looking forward to it. I didn't like the ending of the last one (don't think I was alone) but I can't deny I've enjoyed playing all of them quite a lot!

There is also some sort of Summer Sale Mini game this year (Here: http://steamcommunity.com/minigame/) where you can get cards (I think) and the community unlocks discounts.

I've not managed to play it unfortunately, all I get is "There was a problem trying to join a game. Please try again later" and apparently you get dropped a lot even if you do get in.
