I have probably only been to the GP once or twice in my life... but that changed after having two kids.

I believe some of this can be tied to the very rapidly changing demographics in Australia. I have no data to back this up, but I do see quite often amongst parents that they will shop around for a GP that gives them antibiotics because back *home*, that's what they were expected to do.

So it is not uncommon for people to drive 30 minutes to their favourite GP somewhere to get exactly what they want...

My supervisor would often say: Don't rush, we don't have time.

Funny because he was often the reason we had to do the last minute rush :)

I work in R&D for a telecomms/optics company.

All servers are on premises. Not allowed to have a laptop. No access to emails/data outside of the office. No USB drives, printing documents, etc.

Reason? Protect IP. From who? Mostly Huawei.

Good and bad: When I walk out the door... I switch off. The bad is that working from home isn't realy an option. Although they have accommodated somewhat for this pandemic.

Pi-hole has been excellent. I was able to discover that my Samsung TV was reporting minute by minute updates on what I was watching to a local Australian company.

Unplugged it faster than I could swear.

Hear, hear
