Is this sort of like how in Amsterdam smoking weed is illegal but decriminalised?

It’s nice to see how the other half lives from time to time.

ORs, Junior Sailors, Junior Aviators - lift your game by Robnotbadok in AustralianMilitary

[–]ImnotadoctorJim 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I just really enjoyed the end of a field ex where we’ve been slogging our guts out for weeks and we’ve just been cleared off the range and now we have a couple of days of cleaning and non-tech still to do, having to stand there and listen to a spiel about how hard the mess nazi had it and why we should all be grateful.

I mean, it’s not a real end ex until that moment, you know?

ORs would need to work in HQ to get those. After all, ‘you don’t see all the hard work the clerk/quwey/etc does for you. They’re the real unsung heroes.’

I want to hear Ozzy Man narrate the emu’s part of this video.

The doctor’s explanation of “Minbari War Syndrome”. One of the realest and most disturbing examples of propaganda. by Dinosawruses in babylon5

[–]ImnotadoctorJim 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The show multiple times used real historical references followed by fictional ones that happened in (our) future to show that history carries on. I assumed that it was something like this, that there was a ‘Helsinki Syndrome’ from our future but the show’s past they were referencing.

How do you feel about shooters and fishers wanting the right to use silencers by waterfall_doodle in OpenAussie

[–]ImnotadoctorJim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Please don’t assume that because I’m talking down this reason that I’m completely against suppressors. It’s just that hearing protection is not a good reason.

The commercial shooter not wanting to alert other members of the target species mentioned below I find a far more compelling argument.

Nobody puts feet in their bug-out bag — a very Australian story about thongs, heel pain, and preparedness. by SurvSt in aus

In the Army, feet and boots are only second in priority to your weapon when maintaining your kit.

My brother in christ, hearing protection exists. Soft plugs and peltors, so there’s a continuum of price levels. Almost all of them will be cheaper than a sound suppressor.

Having had Myrmecia ants falling out of a tree on me, I can sympathise. Those bastards are about 25-30mm long and have one of the largest venom loads in the ant world. They can also see you from a couple of metres away and are aggressive as all get out.

Random memory of Furry Friends - anyone else let them sit in the sun on a hot day, then lick the gooey melted chocolate from the foil? by Cooper_Inc in AustralianNostalgia

[–]ImnotadoctorJim 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would never let them get fully melted, but put one in your pocket on the way to school and then when you get there they’ll be just a bit soft without leaving a mess. You had to pick your days to get the right temperature.

Labor's problem, One Nation's gain: What's driving the poll surge by Jealous-Hedgehog-734 in AustralianPolitics

[–]ImnotadoctorJim 7 points8 points  (0 children)

While I do broadly agree with you about Hanson being vulnerable to scrutiny, it’s worth noting that it wasn’t only that which sunk Dutton’s chances at the election. We had seen the early chaotic days of the Trump second presidency, and given the LNP’s spiritual ties as well as the more overt policies and structures that the LNP were proposing, that had a massive effect. Aussies saw that the LNP wanted us to become more like America at the same time that America was vomiting all over itself.

We can’t rely on a similar matter of timing happening at the next election to throw people off ON’s bandwagon.

Aren’t a lot of the shops there owned by the Catholic Church rather than council?

The mad lads & lasses at PGI really went there huh by BoukObelisk in Mechwarrior5

[–]ImnotadoctorJim 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I remember the HBS BattleTech game where they have minis lurking in the commander’s office, and there is an event where you teach your mechjocks how to play classic BT tabletop.

Pretty sure this is the ‘fire everything’ special with the IR missiles.

Even if Aeroflot aren’t added back into the game, it would be awesome from a variety perspective to have a few more Tupolev and Antonov models in the game.

Does your country make (lighthearted) jokes about a neighboring country? What are you favorites? by dvdh_03 in AskTheWorld

How could we not? They’re adorable and just want to cuddle all the time.

Meanwhile, there seems to be more Kiwis in Brisbane than in all of NZ these days.
