Watch them YouTube chefs line to flog what AliExpress sells for <AUD 50 (~USD35). The “secret” with carbon steel is your burner strength and how you grease the wok before cooking. But nothing beats knowing how it should taste in the first place! LOL
Lol yes buy their $150 Sweden-made wok to unlock the key to authentic Chinese cooking.
I think I am done with this brand.

This is a time for the nation to heal yet many on the opposite site of govt - both current & former operatives, are making this a political game. There will be an appropriate time for recriminations just not now. Voters must remember not just the event but how our leaders have responded! #auspol

Why can’t we legislate this in Australia? I mean seriously, the amount of space taken up by car parks would make this really sensible and will help bring some needed shade to our cars during hot summer days #auspol
Meanwhile, in South Korea: "Starting at the end of November, public parking lots with more than 80 spaces will be required to install solar power generation facilities. This obligation applies not only to newly constructed parking lots but also to existing ones."

Yesterday, the Victorian parliament voted to enact a statewide treaty with its First Peoples after a long day of debate that stretched into the night. A really good forward step on the pathway of reconciliation - now the test is to see it in action. #auspol

I guess if I *had* to pick my favorite part of the video the president posted where he’s a big boy pilot and he pew pew pews his poop all over everyone, it would be the part where he shits on the American flag?

These watches appear to be ripoffs of famous designs. Likely from some factory that normally produces "homage" watches and they just swapped out the branding.

The largest group in ICE detention is now immigrants with no criminal record, with more than 16,500 currently being held.
Don’t fall for Trump’s lies about going after the “worst of the worst.”
This was never about legal immigration. It was always about cruelty.

Trump wouldn’t call the National Guard to stop an out-of-control insurrection that led to the violent invasion of the Capitol, with Congress huddled in fear behind locked doors and under tables.
But he’s sending an invasion of armed Guardsmen to DC to…defend against…hoagie throwers?

Why do I get the feeling that what we are seeing is a potential repeat of Bush/Blair’s “weapon of mass destruction” in 2003? Saddam Hussein was not a good person (duh!) but in any war, it is typically the innocent that suffer the most! Hopefully AU doesn’t get dragged into this inadvertently #auspol

Mr. Antiwar President has us inches away from a Civil War at home and a nuclear war abroad in defense of an ally that is starting random hot regional wars to detract from its ongoing genocide. I’m sure all of this will just naturally cool off.
