Yeah, they played well (including a spectacular goal), but slipped up on defence. The better team won. Still a pretty good result.
What’s with the eshay hate over at r/melbourne? If you believe what you read there, packs of vicious eshays roam Melbourne, contributing to the downfall of society. They harass strangers, carry weapons, obstruct traffic, and make the city unlivable.
I get out for exercise in Melbourne at all hours of day or night. I occasionally encounter eshays late at night, roaming the streets, speaking loudly in their eshay slang. They’re always pretty friendly, I’ve never had any trouble from them. The most trouble I’ve ever had from eshays is that they play loud Australian hiphop music on trains in Sydney. It’s mildly irritating, but far from the worst thing that I’ve seen.
So where are these dangerous eshays making the city unsafe? Do they only appear at specific times in specific places? Or is this just more, “kids these days,” crap? Or a convenient scapegoat?
also she lives in a smallish community in buttfuck Vic and she doesn’t remember which of the three “asian groceries” she went to
She also has a property in Mt Waverly and claims that's where the "Asian grocery" is. Apparently Mt Waverly has two Korean grocery stores, and two other grocery stores that sell east or southeast Asian goods. Still doesn't make sense.
Also, threw out the dehydrator that she didn't use to dehydrate the dried mushrooms she bought. That doesn't hold water at all.
A teacher at my son’s high school apparently had no choice but to resign after displaying racism while teaching a class. It’s a very multicultural school, I didn’t expect this. But given the amount of racism I get from random strangers in Melbourne, I really shouldn’t be surprised. Looking at threads over on r/melbourne, the introverted and unwelcoming attitude that permeates the city is really obvious. Rationally, I know it isn’t everyone in Melbourne, but God damn these people make sure you notice them.
They removed some fairly obvious race-bait the other day, but they don’t seem to be doing much for the most part.
It’s not bribery, it’s donations! Fucking corrupt cunts.
I explained the reason for this on reddit. TL;DR African farmers have better access to refrigeration and transport, and as a result have switched to more profitable crops than cacao (the reason they were growing cacao specifically was because it can be dried and stored without refrigeration until transport is available and demand is present). The price of chocolate has to increase substantially. There’s no point stockpiling it.
This graph is a reflection of African farmers’ lives improving playing out in global supply/demand economics. It’s only “depressing” if the only thing you care about is your access to cheap chocolate.
I actually enjoy ironing, but my wife doesn’t, and our ironing board in Melbourne is covered with her junk so I can’t actually use it. I just avoid wearing stuff that needs ironing most of the time in Melbourne. I iron my clothes in Sydney, though.
OK, this is just screwed up. I scored a perfect round, but today’s puzzle shows how inconsistent this game is.
The spoiler contains spoilers, so don’t click it if you’re going to try your luck in the game.
Tonga is closer to New Zealand than two of the countries included as neighbours. Why does it treat Norfolk Island as a neighbour when it’s an Australian external territory? And why does the game usually only consider nearby neighbours separated by water when the country has no land borders at all? Like when it was Italy, they didn’t include Tunisia or Albania as neighbours, despite both being far closer than any of NZ’s neighbours.
Crown Resorts’ lawyers have warned the federal court that the casino operator would face “significant financial hardship” if forced to immediately pay its $450 million settlement with Australia’s financial crimes regulator Austrac.
Isn’t that the whole point of a fine? If it wouldn’t cause them any hardship, they’ll just treat it as the cost of doing business.
When I’m dead, don’t bury me at all
Just pickle my bones in alcohol
An amphora of wine at my head and feet
And then I’m sure my bones will keep
What kind of event? What dress code?
Definitely not too bright.
