I can't help feeling kinda sorry for most reality tv contestants now.

The latest one that really got to me was Alone. I watched a couple of different countries versions. It basically is leaving people in the middle of nowhere until they have a mental breakdown. I bailed out part way through a season. I just couldn't watch any more, it was so depressing.

To want to be on any of these reality shows, I just keep feeling bad for them.

ALDI is pretty terrible if you don’t have a really basic White Australian diet.

I get what you're saying. They've got the basic Aussie Italian, Mexican, Asian covered. You'll never beat shopping at the specialty supermarket/shop for whatever cuisine you're cooking.

But as a somewhat counterpoint to this, I quite enjoy their weekly(?) deals where they have mostly pantry foods and specialities from a particular country. Sure, they're not available all the time, but there's been plenty of times I've gone 'OMG, it's xyz from country 123!' and you'd be lucky to find it anywhere in Australia. My eyes must've bugged out of my head when I saw they had white asparagus 🤣

Week nearly over, but looks like we'll all be getting rained on for the rest of it!

On the positive side, guess I can't mow the lawn. Awwwwwww 🤣

Told them where the water pipes were. They used some sort of pipe finder to confirm.

Then, of course, they put the conduit drill straight through the water pipe under the concreted driveway. Turned off all the water and disappeared to Bunnings -allegedly- for hours. Cut up the driveway to get to the pipe to fix it. It still looks like shit. And is sinking..,

Next week, the guy to do the internal cabling shows up. Everything is too hard for him to do properly. So he drills a hole in the eaves, runs the cable through the roof, then a hole in the ceiling and drops the cable down the wall. No covering inside or out, just a black cable running up and down walls. And here was I stupidly thinking it would just be a nice faceplate on the wall inside.

I've never seen such a shitshow.

Time to get Arfur of the Peaky fookin' Blinders to sort it!

Yeah, I realised that, but couldn't resist it for the lols.

I think it could score a perfect zero by both not correctly comprehending and being offensive to whoever had the misfortune of marking it.

Artificial satellites? I'm interpreting that as fake communication satellites, so:

'Unlike traditional communication satellites, artificial communication satellites are not launched into space via costly rockets using environmentally unfriendly propellents.

Instead, Artificial Satellite Systems (or ASS) make use of artificial intelligence to communicate via Frequency Adjusted Radio Tower Systems (known as FARTS).'

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.

 

He's passed EVERY test. He's more Aussie than anyone I know!

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 🤣

 

Hope you're enjoying yourself, and have a great 2024!

 

Hope everyone has an exciting or relaxing Christmas. Whichever one they wished for!

And be safe in your travels.

 

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. "

 

Great little piece that hits a surprising range of emotions

 

So, it appears the first SMR project in the US was scrapped due to rising costs.

An Aussie SMR would take 10-15 years before even being online and we'd be the guinea pigs.

Perhaps it's time to pivot to technology already available and that can be implemented in the short term?
