Yes exactly - is gaming/personal entertainment a "good" use of energy?

When you get infected then go visit your elderly parents/grandparents while you are contagious but asymptomatic.

Ingredients aside, the data is very strong on health outcomes for breast fed versus formula fed babies.

Read 'Never Split the Difference', great book on negotiating.

Great book worked for me!

Australia has a very mono-cultural society.

I have to disagree with you here... Sydney & Melbourne have the world's 3rd and 4th largest foreign born populations.

45% of people living in Sydney weren't born in Australia... Melbourne 41%.

Agree that outside Syd & Melb though, it's very mono cultural.

I call it "Loyalty Tax", Australia is terrible for it. Shop around every year as most of these brands are just identical white labeled policy underwritten by the same insurer. One trick I stumbled across last year was comparing prices on an aggregator (eg I used iSelect), and not buying. Then the agent called the next day and offer a 15% discount on my already cheaper price.

I'm an Amazon Seller myself - the reason that other sellers add to the listing with products for sale (with crazy price), is they get access to all the metrics on the listing, traffic, conversion rate etc etc. It's a ploy to get access to the sales data.

I worked (illegally) as a restaurant dishwasher at a ski resort in Spain. You'll learn fast if you are totally immersed and need to communicate to work. ;)

For a quality supplier, it's not in their interest to sell you rubbish. If you make money and are successful, then so are they. Get to know them really well but make sure you get lots of samples. In saying that, some just don't sell quality products, it's up to to filter them. You can also hire people to do Quality Assurance testing at the factory on your orders.

From experience - really really research your suppliers as these will make of break your business. Many 'suppliers' on Alibaba, are not manufacturers just on-sellers. Also use other non-alibaba methods of sourcing suppliers, hire sourcing agents who speak the lingo and help vet the factories for you. Also focus on quality.. don't sell junk ;)
