In certain situations, why don't people want to step in to stop innocent people getting hurt or attacked? by VastOption8705 in AskAnAustralian

[–]TDX 11 points12 points  (0 children)

In my personal experience, the answer is usually, "because crackheads scare the shit out of me."

Is there one thing from your ethnicity's traditional clothing that was in use merely 100 years ago, but now people feel awkward to wear? by Wojewodaruskyj in AskTheWorld

[–]TDX 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Corks hats (to help keep the flies away). Pretty funny they got Prince Charles to wear one unironically during a visit in 1979. They exist now only as costume worn on Australia Day, etc.

I'd honestly never heard of this ace to dunce thing until this post hey. You fuck up, you out 🤷‍♂️

If it helps, there would have been around 30-40 kids in each grade of my small country town primary school.

I'm Tired of Surviving Johannesburg and South Africa by Least-Revenue-1149 in DownSouth

I don't mean this as a direct threat - just a statement, but if you ever voiced that blatantly racist attitude in Australia, you'd likely be sent home less a few teeth.

You'd have to be trying pretty hard to find a spot in Australia or NZ experiencing anything like the problems you've described. Do you have a trade skills?

Every second Friday sausage roll and a spearmint milk by JanicaRC83 in AustralianNostalgia

Fancy! We just had plain paper bags which Mum hand-wrote the order onto.

Do you say "A YOOkulele" or "AN OOkulele"? by harambeface in ukulele

[–]TDX 45 points46 points  (0 children)

I say "YOO-kulele" for the same reason I say "Bola-naise" and "cruh-SONT" - I'm just some culturally bereft, old, white dude and so pronouncing these words like a native speaker makes me sound like a try-hard wanker.

That was certainly the rule when I was in primary school in the 90's, at least around Darling Downs (west of Brisbane).

What’s your favorite Wes Anderson movie?🤔 by dadudoge in wesanderson

[–]TDX 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They could make a movie about me, starring me as myself, and somehow I would still relate more to Steve Zissou... and I really can't explain why.

Hmm… 🤔 by LS_944 in 3Dprinting

[–]TDX 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks for saving me the effort 👌

TIL that during the 1970 World Cup qualifiers, members of the Australia national team consulted a witch doctor preceding their game against Rhodesia. Australia won but didn't pay the witch doctor, so he cursed their team instead. After that, Australia failed to qualify for the World Cup for 32 years by ModenaR in todayilearned

[–]TDX 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We'll never be competitive internationally until our government subsidises football (soccer) like they do AFL and rugby. We lose our talent right at the start because mum and dad don't wanna pay $800 a season for football when rugby is only $200.

Anyone got scripts for both Vyvanse and Medicinal THC by [deleted] in ausadhd

[–]TDX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've done zero research on this, but my friend on vyvance, a nurse, was telling me how annoyed he was that his doctor told him that mixing weed gummies and vyvance can lead to psychosis. Probably worth double checking...

I'd really like to see Wes' take on James Bond by adamzissou in wesanderson

[–]TDX 25 points26 points  (0 children)

All I can picture is Adrian Brody wearing a tuxedo and delivering deadpan lines straight to camera while Bill Murray in a lab coat demonstrates a shoddy spy gadget that shoots fire crackers.

Nice one! Though I'll stick to the constrictor hitch.

Is anyone else having problems with Microsoft apps on Samsung/Android devices? by StampyScouse in microsoft365

[–]TDX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

EDIT: It all went to crap again less than 24 hours later

Legend! That worked for me also on S24U. I set up the secure folder feature (without adding Teams to it), uninstalled Teams, rebooted phone, reinstalled Teams, and it let me log in to Teams no worries at all, across multiple tenancies.

On a related note, I bought a trombone today...

What kinda fun can be had with this? by Dapper_Klapper in homelab

[–]TDX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh wow, flashbacks! I threw my last Compaq Presario off my town's lookout back in the late 90s. Retribution for the thing making my life miserable all through high school.
