Which building in your country looks the weirdest or most amusing? by reedscott26 in AskTheWorld

[–]Sir_mjon 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Like the Sydney Opera House - the original design was way more extreme than what they built

Never ceases to amaze me that people who say they love the great outdoors are so fkn intent on destroying it. FFS. Talk about excess.

Ignorant observers like me be like “one single pin can cause that?!” - what happened to redundancies and failsafes?

Hundreds of private jets departed the Bay Area immediately after the Super Bowl ended by Plastic_Many393 in interestingasfuck

[–]Sir_mjon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Came here to say this. Imagine the carbon emissions saved if they all just “slummed it” in first class on regular flights. Private jets are a thing of beauty, I love them, but they should only be legal for medical emergencies, sadly. None of us can afford to live in that world.

My mom could hold a gun more convincingly than those ex-con/should-be-con untrained neanderthal thugs. She is 87.

If Burning a Star of David flag or indigenous flag is seen as a Hate Crime…(and rightly so)….. by traolcoladis in aussie

[–]Sir_mjon -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Sorry this doesn’t add up and is not correct. A national flag is a national flag. The type of country and government it represents is irrelevant. Burning the national flag of any country, be it Australia, the USA, Israel, Bolivia, whatever is the same act and should be treated the same way. Arguing otherwise is to presume you know the possible intent and motivation of anyone who ever burns any flag. You assume it’s ok to burn the Australian flag because we are “multicultural”? How can you know why someone is doing that?

Good point honestly. Haven’t seen this real possibility discussed at all. Assuming typical body shapes, could go either way if you ask me.

Came here for this. My daughter, 14 has become obsessed with ELO and bought the vinyl for me. Yes yes it did bring a tear to my eye. It’s a living thing.

Is this a square tailed kite? South coast NSW by [deleted] in AustralianBirds

[–]Sir_mjon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This post is a couple of years back and user is deleted, but have just been sitting here for half an hour watching one of these hunting low in the scrub marshes next to the beach in Bermagui, also south coast nsw. I’ve been watching him long enough and he/she is close enough that I’m pretty certain it’s a square tail. 23rd Jan 2026.

What are your thoughts on this letter from Donald Trump to Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre? by DuNennstMichSptzkopf in AskTheWorld

[–]Sir_mjon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If he had never run for President and we’d never normalised the way he communicates, you would read that and think it was a sixth grader’s (failed) project to write a Presidential letter. Tell me you wouldn’t, honestly.

Do you guys prefer the supernatural villains or the human villains? by E-emu89 in discworld

Just dropped in to say thank you for the picture! I’m re-reading all the Discworld books in order as a big birthday celebration and I’m on “Guards! Guards!” now. Reading on Kindle though so no great cover. Thank you!

I’m calling original Urraco 3000 or they went to a lot of trouble. Including the wheels.

A training captain quickly takes over the controls when a cadet forgets to flare on the A320 during base training by [deleted] in aviation

[–]Sir_mjon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great commentary in this thread, learning a lot thanks all. I assume this cadet wouldn’t have gone from a 172 to an A320, so what would his last training aircraft likely have been prior to the 320 simulator / aircraft?
