So what did you do today Dave?
I printed tickets and tore up the sheets.
What, all day? Isn’t that a massive waste of time? Shouldn’t they outsource that instead of doing that across 74 stores? The man hours, the cost of printer toners etc.
Yes.

The Dust Storm: Melbourne’s Apocalyptic Day in 1983
On 8 February 1983, a huge dust storm hit Melbourne. From my school library I watched the sky vanish as 50,000 tonnes of soil swept across the city.

What the hell is the New York Times doing?
In its article on Trump posting a video that included a clip of the Obamas as apes, NYT tries to help him come up with an excuse: "It was unclear if Mr. Trump was aware that the clip had been included in the video before he shared it."
WTF.

Where the cars, they scream and slam
And I don't know where I'll be tonight
But I'd always tell you where I am

Terrorism charges have been laid against the as yet unnamed offender in Perth.
In my opinion this only happened due to the outrage from all sections of the community. To the non-Aboriginal people who have been complaining and helping keep this alive, thank you. It’s your voices that mattered.

A lot of the customers at the liquor store I manage like to get maximum bang for buck, and so we sell a lot of 12% bourbon and cola cans. I drink a lot of bourbon and cola but usually 4.8% stuff but I thought tonight I’d try a 12% one. Don’t ask me how these people function drinking this shit at 9am
