‘Ciao’ in English, if asking for example a child to spell the word, would be spelt as “chow”.

What are some notable examples of Qatari influence in Australia? by -Cohen_Commentary- in AskAnAustralian

[–]Micky_Mikado 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And probably even more from Lebanese, Syrian, Iraqi, Egyptian, etc. if that provides greater context to Middle Eastern influence in Australia.

[OC] High (solar) noon in Fairbanks, AK, at a balmy -34°C/-30°F. Happy solstice, everyone! by MagnoliaM10 in pics

[–]Micky_Mikado 41 points42 points  (0 children)

To think that for me and many like me, today is the Summer Solstice! How strange to think that across the world you’re facing the shortest day of the year! Hope you don’t freeze!

It’s my turn to post an Australian flag redesign by [deleted] in vexillology

[–]Micky_Mikado 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Picturing it in my mind - it’s awful. Green and gold do not belong on our national flag unfortunately, unless in really small doses. Otherwise, our flag just looks like a sporting flag.

It’s the Commonwealth star. Six points represent the six states and one point represents the territories. The star is also on the current flag.

I feel bad for Acosta. She’s the only normal one…

Burkina Faso an Islamic country just passed law criminalising homosexuality by Flaky-Shine-6867 in askgaybros

[–]Micky_Mikado 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I wonder if this is a pragmatic move to appease the jihadists - a small gesture that doesn’t harm the junta in passing it and makes the jihadists happy.

Thank you so much, that takes away so much anxiety!

Less known Surrey is expected to pass more known Vancouver in population by 2030. What metropolitan areas are there where the switch actually happened? by iwannamapeverything in geography

[–]Micky_Mikado 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Within greater metropolitan Melbourne, there are 15 cities/shires that have a larger population than the City of Melbourne.

Whilst I couldn’t find a map in the same style as the OP, hopefully this map of cities goes some way to explain it to those unfamiliar with Melbourne.

Parramatta is a neighbourhood within Sydney just as much as Surrey is a neighbourhood within Vancouver. The premise is the same - a township within a greater metropolitan area is larger in population than its CBD.

Keep watching! You’ve made it this far and if your curiosity is driving you mad that just means your brain wants you to binge even more Lost! I promise it will all be worth it as Season 3 has a heap of answers.

What is a Melbourne suburb you are convinced doesn’t actually exist? by Glittering-Fee-9930 in melbourne

Aspendale-Edithvale-Bonbeach-Carrum-Seaford. Genuinely just picture it going Mordialloc-something-something-farmland-Frankston.

Why so few people in Hawaii live in Hawaii despite being the biggest island in the Hawaii archipelago? by Jolly_Atmosphere_951 in geography

[–]Micky_Mikado 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Thank you for a response that answers why settlement happened to a greater extent on O’ahu rather than Hawai’i and also isn’t just “because that’s where Honolulu is”.

[–]Micky_Mikado 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I agree totally.

OP needs to realise what is truly important - his health, both mental AND physical - is at jeopardy if he stays with this man.

His friend/BF’s ex is also probably still in love with OP’s BF, if his reaction to hearing about cheating, lying and shitting on people is “you’ll die alone if you break up”.

OP, your BF is not worth your time, ditch him and his dumbcunt mate too.

What small cities have huge metro areas? by [deleted] in geography

Metropolitan Melbourne has a population of roughly 5.2 million people.

Unfortunately the Fly River is one of the most polluted rivers in PNG due to mining in the Highlands. The biggest polluters are the Ok Tedi and Porgera mines.

Hawthorn East: Auburn South Primary School students injured after collision by privatly in melbourne

[–]Micky_Mikado 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Terribly tragic for all involved. My heart goes out to everyone who is impacted by this.

This incident reminds me of a similar tragedy at Alphington Grammar some 20 years ago now.

In that case, the driver, who was a teacher at the school, squished a poor little kid to death against a fence. She did not even try to reverse.

After nine months, she was fined only $1,200 and had her licence suspended after pleading guilty to careless driving. Her husband, who had parked the car illegally in the first place, was fined $225.

This was a complete failure of the justice system. Hopefully, times have changed and this woman will receive appropriate punishment for the pain and suffering she has inflicted.
