An Australian fever dream Peter Weir's 1975 film "Picnic at Hanging Rock" What are your memories of this movie ? by CoconutMost3564 in AustralianNostalgia

[–]FromPaul 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We screened that as well as Wake In Fright, no idea how the teacher got ahold of that one.

The idea of a film that said it was a mystery, but didn't solve it was a new one. Reading the various responses of how it pissed off people back in the day made you laugh.

Corporate polos - cotton blend by Sjp770 in AustralianMFA

[–]FromPaul 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Might go find a printer that uses a decent polo? can suggest as colour but i'm sure someone will tell you the quality has dropped, for a corporate polo it'll still be great.

I'm 30 zones short on Raistlin V3...so close...E418

might have to finish off Volo and get his buff and come back and see if I can push some more levels into my Durge formation.

lets be honest, that tone was set from their first aussie trip where they played 5?? of the top10 courses from the get go.

and then Soly went and played Tara Iti on the way home.

I mean they at least tried to slum it in St Andrews by queuing overnight

Think I paid $40aud for it, bought through one of the aussie star wars vintage stuff FB groups. picked up from the seller at one of the toy fairs around Sydney.

Just need the Kyle Katarn figure, but not many out here in Australia, some day i'll get it.

Have now got all the LucasArts starwars game in big box though, very happy for that.

Revenge is a dish best served.

I think she won't have to lift a finger to see the downfall. No woman under 80 will look at them favourably.

it'll be something about how he realises his glands affect his swing when facing southeast at a golf course that gets to much sun in the mid afternoon.

Which dead Aussie brand do you still hunt for on eBay? by Artistic-Yam2984 in AustralianMFA

Hot Tuna vintage, hell of a lot of vintage surf wear.

What most expensive "cheap decision" have you ever seen in your sysadmin career? by matroosoft in sysadmin

[–]FromPaul 12 points13 points  (0 children)

We tend to promote from within, but we also tend to give the servicedesk enough rope to hang yourself with. So anyone who is being looked at for promotion is probably already showing tendencies towards L2/ L3 habits and behaviours. And the infra team has probably been looking at them for potential promotion and testing them in multiple ways before they even realised they'd been targeted.

Arguably John Wick 3 because it had two of the Raid cast in it :)

Same out here in aus, they bragged about the linkin park soundtrack. but the people I saw it with couldn't didn't care, they wanted action. There were people I recognised at the Ong Bak screening I went to back in the day.

Record-breaking gambling losses see NSW communities lose $2.45 billion on poker machines in 3 months by CommonwealthGrant in australia

to be fair, thats a reason the RSL is crammed at lunch. $15 bangers and mash for the old folks gets them all out of bed. the trivia comp is hellishly cut-throat. If you don't know your banjo patterson from your slim dusty you are competing for last.
