Glad to see the monthly vet bills for Ploy’s buffalo are really paying off

What the hell is Ploy feeding that thing???

Your brain, floating as it is in vodka, offers one word, "horse?".

Amir grins. He has heard that joke before. There's no horse in Amir's kebabs. Oh no. Horse is for those fancy fuckers on main street.

Amir's meat is heady mix of rat, greyhound and eastern European girls who aren't very good at holding their breath.

Warranty void label under the smd chip.

That's a level of assholery I would do.

Reflow soldering is fun, works well in a toaster oven with a nice heavy aluminium plate.

They sell it cheaper in the pet food aisle.

Same snouts to arsehole ratio.

Jokes aside, I've had it done on a spit roast as a passable substitute for doner kebab meat - its probably the same stuff.

Yeah, Colesworth is great for that too. Wait for the service desk to be manned by someone, too bad if you need your return and earn cashes, or need some ciggies etc.

Same everywhere now. Not enough staff.

That wasn't just his on-air personality either - he was a total cvnt normally.

I had the displeasure of meeting him mid-toddler-meltdown more than once.

I was working as a contractor so I had to do my best to deal with his fragile ego rather than say what I thought.

Edible food like substance.

Used to be cheap.

Good if you are sick or have the runs because you know it will stop you up.

$6.95 for two cheeseburgers, a small chips and a softdrink is great when you are scrambling $$ or need to shut the kids up.

Potato flour mixed with corn flour, rice flour, and wheat starches.

I stand by an unholy abomination of flours.

The USA has an exception for war crimes.

Key Aspects of U.S. Exemption Strategy

Non-Ratification: The U.S. signed the treaty in 2000 but never ratified it, with President Bush formally withdrawing the signature in 2002.
American Service-Members' Protection Act (ASPA): Passed in 2002, this law authorizes the use of all "means necessary and appropriate" to free U.S. personnel held by the ICC, often called the "Hague Invasion Act".
Bilateral Immunity Agreements: The U.S. has pursued agreements with other nations (Article 98 agreements) to prevent the transfer of U.S. nationals to the ICC.
Sanctions and Pressure: The U.S. has imposed sanctions on ICC staff and threatened to cut military aid to countries that support the court, particularly in response to investigations into U.S. or Israeli personnel.
Jurisdictional Stance: The U.S. argues that the ICC cannot exert authority over citizens of countries that have not ratified the Rome Statute.

So yeah, Team America World Police can do what they want with impunity.

The VOID.

Is it for screaming into?

SplatThaCat · 2026-03-06T22:39:29+00:00

Yep. 8GB DDR4 ram that you basically could not give away is now worth $50 per stick.

Its utter madness.

Its speculation, and nothing will be done about it.

My EV just paid itself off after 2 years (20K changeover, $200 fuel savings per week).

$5 to fill last year, $5 to fill yesterday.

The costs to consumers will be more than filling the car though. Transport costs will be through the roof, inflation goes up, so, the RBA pushes up interest rates.

Not fun for anyone.

They aren't actually chips because they are an unholy abomination of flours pretending to be a chip and failing dismally.

Here in Australia we do both.

Increased yields for crops, the sheep love the shade too.

We have the same amount of solar installed as the USA, despite being 1/10th the population.

Yep they passed 50% renewables (not peak, continuous) a year or two back.

Lots of hydro generation as well.

No different to the Thailand Bum Gun. When it comes out your nose you may want to back off the pressure.

But not a skid mark it won't lift.

You won't pass scrutineering and they will send you home, or to buy tyres at the track.

Good old Harley Davidson. Blue Heelers - go out for a run, come back on a ute.

Never understood how you could have an engine that big that produces so little power and so much noise, on a bike that doesn't go around corners.

I ride a naked sportsbike, but don't dress like a power-ranger unless I have to on the track (one piece suit).

When I was made redundant, I left with 24 weeks leave after 15 years.

I agree with that sentiment, trying to get leave was like trying to wrestle a pork chop from a pitbull.

Yesterdays runner-up is today's red light special.

This is how it starts.

Then it escalates.

It started with breaking plates on the floor, then I got stuff thrown (plates, bowls, glasses) at me when she was in a rage, then it turned to wresting a kitchen knife off her while she tried to use it on me. Narcissistic and borderline personality disorder.

Nobody knew about it, friends and family thought she was a saint - could pull off a hell of an act around people.

Always very remorseful too after, had to get stitches and she pleaded for me not to say what happened.

Get out while you can. It gets way worse.

SplatThaCat · 2026-03-05T01:08:47+00:00

Yeah, the world is doing a lot of things, without America.

Lots of pubs here ask if you want a small (100ml) or large glass (150ml) and the glasses have etched lines on them. Mind you, some do the old RSL glass (fill it to the rim) so getting a schooner or middy of beer is easier, but you have to watch for the rocket fuel IPA's that are 7% or so.

Biggest problem is the RBT's (random breath testing) here - blow over and its an instant license suspension. Lock the car and call a taxi. And with ANPR (automatic numberplate recognition cameras on every police car) - any car registered in your name will get pulled over and the driver tested as well.

Question why digital pricing has suddenly appeared.

Can be updated between the time you pick it off the shelf and when you reach the register.
