Nice!

And go Swannies ! Hope it’s a good game, despite the weather!

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!

Guess I can’t mow the lawn. Awwwwwww 🤣

Narrator: It isn’t.

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? Just for fun, 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).

FARTS allow for rapid, ASS to ASS communication. Additionally, Multiplexed Over/Under The Horizon’ allows for increased speeds if ASS to MOUTH is enabled.’

If you want a rabbit hole to go down, look into how RDIs/RDAs are arrived at…

Cheetos are orange and everyone knows orange has Vitamin C!

And an Applebees a day keeps the doctor away!

Not sure how they come up with ‘deadliest animal’. Wikipedia lists scorpions as only 8th most deadly to humans. Freshwater snails and dogs kill at least 3x more people, and mosquitoes kill over 200x more people.

cnet ranked the most venomous animals and the highest ranked scorpion comes in only at number 10

1. Box Jellyfish
Although the Australian box jellyfish just misses having the most potent venom on this list, it is probably the most deadly. It is large in size yet almost transparent in the water, and its tentacles can sting you with its millions of nematocysts, injecting a hefty amount of venom while holding its victim in place.

The venom’s toxins can cause extreme pain, paralysis, delirium, shock, cardiac arrest and even death within minutes. The jellyfish has enough venom to kill 60 adults.

Holy hell!

Full Self Driving will be available next year!

Still fills me with a sense of wonder just from hearing those 5 notes.

I went to the Sydney Ramses exhibition at the Australian Museum.

I enjoyed it, though full.admission, I’m a bit of a sucker for history stuff. From memory price was about $42, so $38 for this one that has about 3x more artefacts seems reasonable. Expensive to take a family, and I’d reckon kids would get bored anyway.

As with all exhibits, best to try weekdays late afternoon or after hours to avoid crowds.

I still get chills being so close to things created so long ago. The intricate work inscribing entire statues and sarcophagus with hieroglyphics was amazing.

I’m curious when you were born and where you’re from?

The stories in both were somewhat disjointed and as with most sci-fi, requires some level of suspension of disbelief.

Nowadays, storytelling and plot takes a big backseat to action and explosions…😔

Too windy! 😩

Tree branches everywhere. Willy willys passing me at the stop lights. Find my car blocking a bush from blowing up the street.

And it’s 15C in my meat freezer of a home…

Eskimos get insulation better than Australian builders…
