I have three second-hand cancer experiences from family here in Australia (Dad, Mum and my half-sister - under 35/yo). All three were detected early thanks to regular checkups and screening (covered under Medicare), treated in major hospitals (Dad was in a rural hospital, Mum and half-sister in Metro major city hospitals) and are all alive and certainly not in debt. The biggest cost was parking at the hospital, drinks from the vending machine and the PBS medication (all PBS medicine costs $31.60 for adults, and $7.70 for concessions).

Any PBS medication has the full-cost price printed on the label for reference, more often than not the printed prices go from $300 - $2,000, but I remember that these aren't the full price anyway since our government collectively bargains for cheaper prices on OS medication).

I can't imagine having to pay for treatment AND the insane full price of medications, it must be so much more stressful for families going through cancer treatment.

Americans, don't let the media and your government tell you otherwise. Universal healthcare is cheaper [0] and more effective than whatever archaic system you have now.

I am so god damn proud of our system in Australia, it's not perfect, but damn it's so efficient for critical care, thank heavens for Medicare and the PBS.

Oh and for those that say "well doctors aren't paid very well"... they are. My brother-in-law is a surgeon and he's doing pretty well for himself, bought a new Audi last month for his wife, heading to Europe for a month-long holiday with his family and just moved into a new house.

I started a job as a software engineer, first day. The engineering team mostly use Macbooks, my manager asked if I preferred Mac or Windows. I said mac.

I got my Mac, but needed IT helpdesk to set it up (VPN, admin access etc...). I got told there was no ticketing system and for me to drop it off at the helpdesk instead. I did that, but was promptly told that 'Macbooks are hard to set up, so f off...' (yes, he swore at me).

I left stunned back to my manager, he followed up with head of IT and that guy was ordered to apologise to me and was reprimanded. Safe to say I had my Macbook set up within minutes by someone else. Not a great first day.

All stores have a DRU Pizza Checker (AI powered camera to check every pizza as it comes out of the oven)[1][2].

Some stores in the state of Queensland even have automated DOM robots to deliver pizzas[3] and even drones[4].

Source: Worked closely with Domino's in an old job (not employed by Domino's). Their office was super fun to navigate through with robotics engineers, software developers and more working on some impressive stuff.

No data mining or profiling, they are fully aware of any retention laws and relevant data security laws, and they offer an easy to use export tool if you ever feel you want to shift providers.

Not to mention the odd text formatting, site design (Tempus Dominus, nothing original) and the lack of activity (you seem to have replied to your own post on there). If you put a bit more effort in rather than jumping the gun hoping to capture attention, you could get somewhere.

But 'admin' with no profile picture or any profile data isn't a good sign, how do you expect me to sign up, share my personal data and add a photo of myself when the owner of the site doesn't even do that?

It might even assist their economy in recovery if that change occurs, as more overseas workers would be attracted to a career in Japan.
