Plenty. I have had people tell me I am inhumane for criticising tipping culture, and if I point out it is related to the extreme class system and slavery history of America they downvote me to hell and try to justify that it is "land of tha free" or whatever.

They don't even have freedom from hunger or illness in their messed up country.

Yes, if it had been in Australia. Report it when you see it.

I do, and he reads them days later and apologises.

Now that he is overseas on a business trip he reads them all immediately, but apparently in-house is not an option.

I was using a thimble when I did that. The needle popped through the thin metal of the thimble, through my finger, and hit the inside of the thimble on the other side. I couldn't remove the thimble, I tried but the needle was locking it on my finger. I had to pull the needle out through my finger, then remove, by which time the thimble was full of blood....

Just because he can see X-rays (or other radiation) doesn't mean his eyes emit the X-rays.

I have lived in apartments in Western Sydney and in Newcastle that had less than half the apartments in the block tenanted.... yet none advertised. I do not know the motivations of the owners. But it is quite common, in my experience. Perhaps they have no one pass through their doors for six months at a time or more for another reason, but I cannot think of one.

Doesn't even need to be coastal for that to happen. Bloody ridiculous prices all over.

I haven't found quotation marks working on duck duck go either.

I wear cheap croc knockoffs. Once I got real crocs as a christmas present, and they weren't as comfy as the cheap no name brand notcrocs.

That said, still prefer leather sandals, they are more comfortable still. But that could be because I live in a hot climate.

You can see where the four screws that mounted the original are sticking out. What a pity they didn't put holes where there are meant to be holes.

Well, I doubt they plan to ever buy HP again.

Lol ?!? My girlfriend did no such thing! (My boyfriend didn't either!)

Tell yours to use more small local shops, for the sake of the environment. Honestly it isn't tough to shop without ads that steal your money, credit card, and identity.

 

Two questions.

My family insist on using Whatsapp for the family chats. I have to keep a copy on a device just so I can communicate with them. I do so under protest, as I was always told it isn't secure. My brother has just said

"oh Whatsapp is encrypted, it's perfectly secure".

First, is it actually as encrypted and safe as my brother claims? That would solve everything.

Second, if it isn't, where can I get some proof that we should switch to Telegram or whatever? Proof which doesn't make me look like a raving loony?

 

This could affect a lot of peoples searches. I don't know about you, but when my laptop stopped working correctly last month, the best solutions were still ones that google linked me to reddit to read.... That said, don't believe every news article on the internet and all that...

 

If I choose to drive on anything except the freeway, I get told the road is closed, drive it anyway (the road is, after all, not closed) and spend the entire journey with a mapless screen. Great 4G+ reception the whole way. Happens all over NSW. Weird.
