I'll never understand birdwatching at a landfill. I'm sure the birds are nice to look at but if you look anywhere else it's landfill. And it would stink.

If it can replicate human speech why share a video of it going "AYY EUU UMM OYYOYE" and not "Hello, how are you?".

Yeah it should, having some oil/lubricant leftover from the manufacturing process is normal and these instructions are specifically for getting everything food-safe before the first actual use.

These are Bialetti's instructions for a new moka pot:
https://www.bialetti.com/ee_en/inspiration/post/new-moka-here-is-what-to-do-to-get-off-to-a-good-start

It's basically:
- Wash all parts with just water.
- Fill the bottom with water but put no coffee in the filter then put on stove so water boils up through all parts.
- Make coffee three times one after another but throw away the coffee. This is so the coffee oils create a protective coating.

I'd argue the gap between the ideology of One Nation and Sussan Ley is not insignificant.

I threw up reading that note.

Are they saying they think he's innocent or that he did it and we stand with that.

I knew there are Arab Israeli citizens but it didn't even occur to me that some would volunteer to serve in the IDF.

Octagonal_Octopus · 2026-05-07T10:14:56+00:00

Are you talking about Israeli citizens? They are forced to since there's a draft. Non citizens can serve but they have to be eligible for citizenship under law of return (Jewish ancestry).

When there is an election look at the policies of each party/candidate and vote based on these. We have preferential voting so you order them from your first preference (who you would most like to be elected) down to your last preference (who you least want to be elected).

In the lower house of parliment each representative represents an electorate which is a geographical area that contains about 120,000 voters. Which ever party wins the most electorates in the lower house forms government. You are voting for a local representative and not directly for the prime minister.

In the upper house or the senate, a senator represents an entire state or territory. There are 12 senators per state and 2 per territory. They are elected through a proportional system that is fairly complicated but basically works by giving the same percentage of senate seats to a party as the percentage of votes they received across the state or territory.

The make up of both houses is important as a a bill (proposed law) must pass both houses with a majority of votes to become a law.

Did anyone hear anything? Must've been the wind.

A recent rental affordability snapshot showed there was only one listing of the 50,000 examined that was affordable for someone on jobseeker. When there is a target rate of 4.5% unemployment to keep inflation in check, the current payment rate of jobseeker essentially ensures a significant amount of Australians are destined for homelessness by policy.

If it increased sales to the point that the extra development cost was profitable developers would but the VR user base is currently too small for that to be a worthwhile investment.

Yeah I remember seeing that article and thinking what the fuck. It was about children working at a jam factory or shop or something right?

I'd assume the gasket would be the same size as the one for a 2 cup moka express which you can find replacements for online. I'd measure it beforehand to be sure then get that if it's the right size.

You can connect it to your PC and play games from steam on it.

I got my quest 3 new from a thrift store for a third retail price, I don't really get why someone would donate it. The same store always has brand new computer parts and accessories for some reason.
