I'm Hiding 🇦🇺

I just bought a Wii and a 3DS a year or two ago for the first time. CFW on both of them and packed them full of games. Had a blast.

In ten years I’ll probably do the same with the switch.

That’s half the reason I like Thunderbird. Email hasn’t changed for 20 years, and neither has Thunderbird’s interface. I don’t need shadows and 3D effects and stylised colours and buttons, I just want a white page with black text displaying the content of my incoming messages.

My uni also provided MATLAB, but I just used Octave instead for all assignments that required it and was never asked about it or told I couldn’t.

Depends on the car. Whopping big American Trump Trucks make people into trashy human beings, sure, but I’d like to think that putting around town in a classic mini doesn’t make me the devil. Certainly people don’t grin and point and wave when a Trump Truck goes past.

The European cab-over trucks are very common in Australia in urban areas, but out in the middle of the outback the American style are far more comfortable to live with.

The way I see it, unless we each conform, unless we obey orders, and unless we follow our leaders blindly, there is no possible way we can remain free.

Humans are social creatures. As much as I’m a massive friggin’ introvert, if I stayed at home I wouldn’t get anything done. I need to go to the office and see other people, in a work environment, in order to work myself.

And at five o’clock, I need to get in my car and come home.

Haha! Australia is a full democracy? What a joke!

Australia is America’s bitch. Even if our politicians gave a shit, they couldn’t do anything.

As much as I don’t want it to happen, I’m convinced this was the final nail in the coffin for the democrats, and the Republicans will now be guaranteed the win.

Trump was shot and is now a martyr, and the democratic party is in shambles with no nominee. If they pick Kamala, who (after mistaking her for Trump) Biden claimed was not fit to be president, Trump will just beat her into the ground like he did with Hillary. If they pick anyone else, the American population won’t know who they are. Either way, the democrats are at their most fragmented while the republicans are at their most united.

But then what do I know? I live on the other side of the planet.

0-100°F also has more individual degrees than -18-38°C, and when a couple degrees can make a big difference for indoor comfort (or the heating bill), I appreciate more granularity.

Ah yes, because I’ve always found 16.5°C such a difficult concept. Decimal places are hard.

I concede the “human” scale could be handy to some, but I mean - the civilised world uses metres, not feet - why should it be any different with temperature?

As an Australian I had a heart attack before I read the title.

You don’t just pick up a handful of redbacks, you fool! You kill them with fire and sleep with one eye open for the next month!
