idk, I just kinda hope we can get past 'coming out' and just accept people.

I know it's a very idealistic view and people face horrendous challenges, discrimination and even death.

But love will win, won't it?

Not necessarily frugal advice, but if somebody is a bit of an expert or even hobbyist in something and you are not, don't buy them something in that area unless it's something specific they have told you they like or that they want.

Eg, if they like chocolate, don't just go buy Cadbury. No offence to Cadbury and Cadbury lovers, it's just an example that some people might love Cadbury and eat nothing else, and others might hate it. You might go out and spend $X on a fancy brand, when that's one that they hate, and actually prefer a cheaper one.

Sure it's the thought that counts. But there's levels of thought, and shallow thought can be borderline offensive.

Eg, I'd way prefer some of the fantastic, unique and personal ideas here than get an expensive gift of a bottle of X, that I've probably already tried, and have settled on what I like.

TBH, LTE certification always seemed like a way to force carrier locked phones to me.

Which makes it massively more difficult to switch.

IE vendor lock in.

"You know enough to be dangerous"

It can be used as either an insult or a compliment.

I misread you as saying "Thanks late stage filesystem." 🤣

Appreciate the archive.is link

Almost 40 per cent of Sky’s digital audience is based in the US, compared with 26 per cent in Australia, this masthead reported last year. It finds most of its reach on digital platforms, in particular YouTube, where it has nearly 5 million subscribers.

So, the media conglomerate that owns the majority of Australian media, and is owned by a non Australian, is mainly watched by a non Australian audience.

It boggles the mind how this is allowed.

Sydneysider visited SM marketplace for some discount meat. Prices on the grass fed meat specials were good, though it seemed to me they included the weight of the tray in the weight. Quality looked OK, but I have to wait till I've eaten some. The beef fillet looked very nice, and looking forward to giving that a go 🤤

Check their Facebook page for latest specials. They will put up specials that only run for a day or two there.

With some other purchases from supermarkets, it averages to about $3/meal (meat only).

And that doesn't include any canned fish which is where the real protein/$ is. I don't eat tuna too much because of heavy metals. And for sustainability and omega-3 reasons my personal bang for buck is canned mackerel.

So, looks like I can make it another month without resorting to pet food.

Frugal on! 😬

So, who are you supporting for the Grand Final?

I can't make my mind up.

I don't want Penrith to win again. I hate dynasties, and I think it's better for the game when teams rise and fall. It's one of the benefits of a salary cap.

But I don't like Melbourne, because of their historical rorting of the salary cap, ruining multiple seasons of the NRL. And the whole introduction of wrestling manoeuvres into footy. A lot of their game seems to be based on cheating or exploiting weaknesses in rukes rather than playing in the spirit of the game.

Or do I just barrack for the referee, touchies and video reviewers?

I thought maybe someone was marking cars that had been highlighted on Dashcam Owners Australia, but apparently not....

Thank God resources have been allocated for a strike force! One poor victim got the paint off with WD40, but the trauma will last forever!

 

On Four Corners tonight (check your local guides):

Channel Seven bills itself as a family network, but a Four Corners investigation finds it to be a "second chance club" for senior men, described as a "degrading, soul-crushing" workplace.

Expect the attacks on the ABC to intensify .....

 

Sorry if this has been asked/answered previously, but it just struck me that I hadn't really noticed any impacts of CloudStrike on aussie.zone.

Was wondering if it was a non-event, or maybe there are some war stories with heroes deserving medals!

 

Twins in a pram rolled onto the track at Carlton.

Terrible.

 

Demolition in the first half.

  • Moses making 50-60m with his kicks
  • Angus Crighton like a runaway tank
  • even Trell looking like a footy player again
  • Liam Martin, clean it up. Grubby all night.
  • Used to think DCE was overrated, now I think he may be underrated...

The traditional 1-1 back to QLD for NSW to lose game 3 looks to be happening again....

 

I use old.reddit.com, and had trouble logging in from there today. "Too many redirects". I also use the Redirect to old.reddit.com extension. When I disabled that, the login link it now takes you to is https://www.reddit.com/login/. That, of course, takes you to www.reddit.com.

The old 'popup' login box has been removed. I also noticed that the in sub logins where they used to have username/password entry boxes have been removed.

More reddit enshitification to try and make us use their horrible UI.

 

He's passed EVERY test. He's more Aussie than anyone I know!

Ok I have a confession to make. I often don't put tomato sauce on things that are ~~expected~~ required by Aussies to have tomato sauce. It's a shameful thing, and I don't want to talk about that.

But, sometimes I must have tomato sauce. The bottle is almost empty, and after upgrading my BBQ sauce and Mayo, surely there is a great bang for the buck tomato sauce.

Choice rated Community Co A Squeeze of Tomato Sauce, available from IGA, as number 1 in 2019 from a list of over 20 tomato sauces/ketchups.

Anyone tried this and can give me a recommendation and reasons on why I should try something else over this?

Ima have to apologise in advance for being a questioning beotch that expects a reference to a scientific study for every statement...after quoting Choice 🤣

 

Hope you're enjoying yourself, and have a great 2024!
