I understand the paper solution, and I'm all on-board with it. But I'd still whip that up as a spreadsheet and print it out. Not because I couldn't make such a chart by hand, just that it would never occur to me.

I'm a little impressed. ๐Ÿ‘

Headline is misleading. The "In the eyes of those in power, aeroplanes are more important than human lives." portion is a quote from a single unverified commenter online. Please correct the title.

Are people going through keyboards/mice like some sort of consumables?
I'm looking at reviews for a mouse, and something supposedly good about it is that it lasted some person four whole years. I've been using the mouse on my work PC for 15 years, it was the first Bluetooth mouse I purchased. I've been using this keyboard for 10 years, and the only reason I bought it was that I was no longer typing on my laptop keyboard. Side note: I would love to buy another one just like this one for home, but it doesn't exist any more.

10 years with no signs of slowing in the next decade sounds right to me. 15 years for the mouse and the only reason I'm considering replacing it is I'd like one that can switch between multiple devices and maybe do away with AA batteries. Do people really go through peripherals quickly?

It doesn't sound like someone who is on the same team as you. ๐Ÿ˜ž

That actually sounds really wholesome. Plus I like baking. I'll give is a shot. As a rule, I avoid reality TV because it's awful.

The spreadsheet of gifts has already started on this end. I need to get up to three gifts for each person (One from wife and I, then 1-2 from the kids). There are two Christmas parties this year, and the in-law side is going to be so big this year, the adults are doing a secret santa to reduce the gift load at least amongst ourselves.

That leaves me buying 25-35ish gifts just for the extended family. Not including the four of us. Experience has taught me that leaving the shopping to the last week before Christmas is a terrible plan. Oh! And the final week of November has a kids' birthday, Sister's birthday, Niece's birthday, Father-in-law's birthday and our Wedding Anniversary. Gotta get through all that before I really start stressing about Christmas.

The only real reality TV shows are on the sports channel. Everything else is edited/scripted. ๐Ÿ˜€

I nearly bought one in 2007. It was between a Mazda 6 and a Pulsar. In the end, I went with the Pulsar because it was $2k cheaper, and all other things about the cars were pretty equal.

My life circumstances changed over the next decade (had a family), and the Pulsar was a bit small for us by the end. I ended up wishing I'd gone with the Mazda.

I think you made the right choice.

Or you drive serious km. It's designed for people who need a car for their job.

Take a kid. Then you are a parent or uncle and they'll think you're cool, again. They'll even let you buy PlayStation games without judgement if you have a kid in tow!

Prominent members of Australia's neo-Nazi network have also launched a series of targeted harassment campaigns at police officers.

Sewell said on a livestream that his followers had identified a Victoria police officer who, in recent demonstrations, attempted to remove a mask from a neo-Nazi protester.

He boasted that he had uncovered personal information on the officer, saying members of his group had saved wedding photos and images of the officer's family.

They may be adept at skirting the edges of the law, and staying out of prison. But there is no collusion with police. Quite the opposite, in fact. These guys will be under close scrutiny from police, and they in-turn are trying to doxx the police officers who they are at-odds with.

Do it today. Petrol usually goes up on Friday. Plus, you'll enjoy your day off more if you know you don't need to waste a pile of it doing the shopping.

 

I have this album playing in the background at work right now. It's probably about the last physical CD I bought. I bought it at one of their gigs at the Corner Hotel about 15 years ago. I think a couple of them even autographed it.

If you remember these guys from the 80's/90's, you'll remember them as a fairly energetic rock band. This CD is something of a greatest hits, but acoustic version. It is basically just the guys sitting around in one of their houses, chilling and playing their songs unplugged. You can really picture a bunch of muso mates sitting around in a circle and jamming for fun with big grins on their faces.

You get a new appreciation of their talent as their songs are stripped right back and re-assembled. I love it! I'd love the perspective of someone who doesn't know their music.

I still don't think you can get any dollarbucks for yourself!

 

For reference, my kids both reached 30kg when they were seven!

 

And as the article says - this data is only from individual tax returns. It doesn't cover companies.

 

I stumbled across a sports article from a US publication and thought it interesting that it showed the USA leading the medals table.

Instead of the regular table that gives weight to Gold, silver and bronze, they just see total medals.

I sorta like it. Celebrating all medal winners equally is nice. It feels a little like fudging the numbers, though.

 

Super sad case. She tried to kill him to ease his suffering. If he'd been on the record supporting her decision, I think the sentence would have been very different. And she lost him to natural causes anyway. ๐Ÿ˜ž

 

So, I've just done something that I said I'd be reluctant to do in future without community consultation and blocked an instance.

I don't think anyone will have any issues with it, but I figured I'd let everyone know since this executive decision affects all aussie.zone users.

If you have a kid/grandkid who loves footy, this is the time of year to take them. A single adult can take three kids to a game for the price of one ticket.

For me today, the adult ticket was $58. With two kids, that worked out at less than $20 a ticket.

Take your own snacks. Prices at the footy are actually offensive.
