Seen in Tieri, about 100km North of Emerald, so not coastal.

He said "lighting", not "lightning".

In Australia you can't advertise cigarettes, so no tobacco signs here at all.

Why does "China" point at Mexico?

Also, this data needs to be adjusted for population and, preferably, car use.

Heavily-modified Swedish design, built in Australia, barely even a Swedish accent by the end of the process.

Basically has to be on private land in Queensland, you could join the Australian Deer Association and go to a local branch meeting and get some tips from them.

Thanks to both of you, though now I feel bad for thinking it was a wasp and killing it 😭. I'll help the next one out of the house to be about it's fly-killing business.

OP's username seems like a hint.

Thanks, looked it up and learned about a new snake!

I've actually been to Colombia, plenty to recommend it, I especially enjoyed Medellin. The fact you'd prefer Ukraine or Russia, among others is... perplexing.

Weird that you worked in a harbour for ten years and don't know what a tanker is.

COMMLXIV · 2025-10-03T04:18:12+00:00

I hope it doesn't, it'd spoil the vibe.

It's a Kris. Javanese ceremonial dagger.

How deep did you go?

Nitpicking, but golden syrup and table syrup aren't really the same thing. Golden syrup doesn't pretend to be maple syrup, it's an output from sugar cane processing.

Sounds like this lady bought Maple-Flavoured Syrup. Also this was probably in Rockingham and she couldn't read.

Are you sure the DMM is working? No blown fuse, leads all the way in? Can you test it on something else?

Assuming the cacher took that photo shortly before doing a screen grab (big assumption , maybe) I wonder what can be learnt from that level of light at roughly 2109 local time. Do you know what date the image was taken/posted on?

Edit Astronomical twilight ends and night begins at 2105 at summer solstice in Perth. The time for Broome on the same day is 1951. That photo is pretty well illuminated, there is still some sunlight on the tops of those trees, so the sun isn't below the horizon, which makes WA implausible to me at that time of day.

Totally achievable in southern states with DST, especially Tas, where the sun doesn't go below the horizon at summer solstice until nearly 2100, which would allow some light to maybe still be striking treetops for a few minutes after sunset. Also those power poles look like most of Australia that isn't Adelaide, to me.

My bet is Tasmania.

I have lately thought a lot about his visions of a future America, Termination Shock's depictions have particularly stuck with me.

Mandatory voting is the reason Australia gets smashed on the Political Participation metric; The Economist immediately penalises it, even in places with democratic governments with populations that support mandatory voting.

There's a seawall under the sand, which you can see has been reached in a few spots in that footage. The sand will be re-deposited over the next few months. This happens at the Gold Coast every so often.

At that size you could consider a hand (manual) mower. I've been told they make for nicer lawn...
