All honour and glory to our great systemd!

Protips:

  • walk everywhere fast. About as fast as if you don't get to the toilet immediately, there will be a serious accident
  • when someone asks 'How are you?' or how you're going, the first words out of your mouth are "Busy" or "Flat out!". Adding anything after that is optional.
  • Bonus points for always being the one to initiate the break off in a conversation. Look at watch, "Well, I gotta run, XYZ is due...."
  • The immaculate hat-trick is combining all three without breaking stride as you blast last someone

I know!

I'll make them of plastic, poke some holes in them, and call them Cruggs 😄

Err, no. No, it isn't.

Now I'm thinking about the poor toilet bowl, the mess in the toilet. And how it's definitely gonna be left in the next toilet in a pub I have to visit 😥

Don't worry. Nothing can frighten a Triton.

What do you secretly judge people for? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 24 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (3 children)

The 'brands' they are displaying.

I see people checking me and others out. What runners are they? Jordans or KMart? Is that a Lacoste or walmart? Is that a real Rolex or D&G handbag?

But for me, it's not judging them like you think.

I judge them flashing brands as a sign of insecurity, a need to appear wealthy and 'fit in', and a likely 'keep up with the Jones' jealous type.

So, I actually feel sad for them.

And, yes, I am aware it's super judgemental and I'm no doubt hypocritical as well, as there are some things I will buy certain brands for.

I wouldn't be able to stop myself from going Blackadder. Maybe saying my name is 'Darling', or go 'Baldrick' and telling them 'I have a cunning plan'...

I thought maybe someone was marking cars that had been highlighted on Dashcam Owners Australia, but apparently not....

Thank God resources have been allocated for a strike force! One poor victim got the paint off with WD40, but the trauma will last forever!

Four Corners - Don't speak (www.abc.net.au)
 

On Four Corners tonight (check your local guides):

Channel Seven bills itself as a family network, but a Four Corners investigation finds it to be a "second chance club" for senior men, described as a "degrading, soul-crushing" workplace.

Expect the attacks on the ABC to intensify .....

CrowdStrike impact on aussie.zone? (aussie.zone)
 

Sorry if this has been asked/answered previously, but it just struck me that I hadn't really noticed any impacts of CloudStrike on aussie.zone.

Was wondering if it was a non-event, or maybe there are some war stories with heroes deserving medals!

I use old.reddit.com, and had trouble logging in from there today. "Too many redirects". I also use the Redirect to old.reddit.com extension. When I disabled that, the login link it now takes you to is https://www.reddit.com/login/. That, of course, takes you to www.reddit.com.

The old 'popup' login box has been removed. I also noticed that the in sub logins where they used to have username/password entry boxes have been removed.

More reddit enshitification to try and make us use their horrible UI.

Best Tomato Sauce/Ketchup? (aussie.zone)
submitted 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

Ok I have a confession to make. I often don't put tomato sauce on things that are ~~expected~~ required by Aussies to have tomato sauce. It's a shameful thing, and I don't want to talk about that.

But, sometimes I must have tomato sauce. The bottle is almost empty, and after upgrading my BBQ sauce and Mayo, surely there is a great bang for the buck tomato sauce.

Choice rated Community Co A Squeeze of Tomato Sauce, available from IGA, as number 1 in 2019 from a list of over 20 tomato sauces/ketchups.

Anyone tried this and can give me a recommendation and reasons on why I should try something else over this?

Ima have to apologise in advance for being a questioning beotch that expects a reference to a scientific study for every statement...after quoting Choice 🤣

Electric vehicle fires are very rare. The risk for petrol and diesel vehicles is at least 20 times higher (theconversation.com)

I thought that the media was a little over the top with reporting every electric car fire.

Little did I realise just how blown out of proportion it was:

"...electric vehicle battery fires are rare. Indeed, the available data indicate the fire risk is between 20 and 80 times greater for petrol and diesel vehicles. "
