The quiet bloke hovering by the chips and dip at your party. Vaguely familiar, you wonder how he was invited. Seems friendly enough though. Likes to read. Works in IT.
Unless you're featured in the 2025 Top Gun live action remake which has the Benny Hill Show theme music for every song in the soundtrack.

FFS. Are there still people having trouble with this?

NBN is the backbone for a thriving competetive Aussie retail market. Build costs ultimately return back to gov ledger as NBNco is the wholesaler whereas Starlink is a bandwidth limited NEOS monopoly controlled by a foreign lunatic billionaire.

Lol. I wish more people could appreciate this post.
When the social media ban for under 16 yr olds kicks in I’m going to sell these to kids at milk bars who want to pretend to be grown ups.

Just got back from 1991 where I told my 16yo self to expect a future where you have the option to buy genocide free cola or non-genocide free cola.
"It tastes even better because you’re supporting Palestine."

This is heartbreaking. And so avoidable.

Locally, If you know anyone that makes their own distilled alcohol or moonshine, please encourage them to research how to remove methanol from their distillation. It's an easy step in the process where you separate the first part during distillation.

Brereton is doing a great job of filibustering this NACC oversight committee hearing which has just 90 minutes for questions from senators. Almost half an hour gone now and he's still in his opening statement. Mostly rehash of his speech from last week so far.
