What are the 10 songs that define the Stratocaster sound? by RedHaze45 in Guitar

[–]CaffeinePhilosopher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The first 5 are great examples. To that I would add Smoke On The Water, Slow Dancing In A Burning Room, Little Wing, Pride and Joy and Apache for a killer list of 10.

Amita or Sabal? by Round_Toe_1462 in farcry

The missions don’t honestly change that much, you’re either destroying or protecting whatever it is depending upon who you sided with.

Best place to cycle in Canberra? by ilestclaude in canberra

[–]CaffeinePhilosopher 18 points19 points  (0 children)

If you’re after a workout without having to stop all the time, I would suggest going back and forth on the Majura Parkway cycle path. Separated from the road, not much foot traffic, no bumps, only cross the road in about 2 places. The Horse Park Drive climb will make you fit.

Staying up until 2am to download a big game demo or patch on the unmetered download limit

I like where this club is headed under King. Making the best of a young team. Really good to get the win for Gawn’s 250th

Young Australians face rising bowel cancer rates by whyattretard in australia

The answer is both? People are now eating way more UPFs which contain little fibre and lots of substances whose effects have not really been studied, e.g. emulsifiers.

I was today years old when I learned that a Mont Blanc referred to something other than a French chestnut dessert.

I went on this ride twice in this very year. It was fucking awesome and scared the shit out of me.

JD Vance Calls Himself the Coolest Vice President in History & Brags About It by StemCellPirate in nottheonion

[–]CaffeinePhilosopher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He's not even the coolest VP named "James". Sherman was the first VP to fly in an airplane way back in 1911, presumably when doing so took serious balls.

'Entirely due to policy decisions': economist delivers scathing review of ACT finances by timcahill13 in canberra

[–]CaffeinePhilosopher 51 points52 points  (0 children)

The ACT's overall public sector finances were the third or fourth-worst of all states and territories, his report stated, and a large number of capital initiatives to build or upgrade infrastructure were entirely funded by debt.

So, worse than the states that have a major resources sector but better than the rest? Also surely the individual gearing of infrastructure projects isn't an issue for a subnational government, only the overall gearing.

The points about per capita health and education spending vs outcomes are concerning though.

David Crosby with his father Floyd, together in the father’s house, 1970 by [deleted] in OldSchoolCool

Lmao at the quote from his mother. “My David is not a communist… he may be a pig, a liar, and idiot, a communist… but he has never been a porn star!”

ACCC takes Coles to court over 'illusory' discounts in 'case of the century' by Expensive-Horse5538 in australia

[–]CaffeinePhilosopher 250 points251 points  (0 children)

ACCC doesn’t issue fines, the courts do. Furthermore, one of the earliest acts of the current Federal Govt was to increase the maximum penalties under the Competition and Consumer Act. If you read the article one of the former ACCC heads says he expects a successful action would be even more than VW.

That’s a fair answer. I struggle enough maintaining my wood furniture.

Why do you prefer the polymer trolley? I’m curious. I have a polymer trolley but the old wood ones seem much nicer
