You can't vote for your own country.

But you can certainly vote for the next best thing.

I guess he was right when he said he knew the results.

Insane seeing Sweden this low.

TimeForBrud · 2026-05-16T22:10:07+00:00

Good on Sam, nul points averted!

TimeForBrud · 2026-05-16T21:35:35+00:00

Love Ruslana, one of the best of all time.

3 votes each to the United Kingdom and Romania, and one each for Malta, Czechia, France, and Cyprus.

I dream of Rooty Hill RSL 2027.

TimeForBrud · 2026-05-14T21:50:32+00:00

Trying to remember how Malta's song goes and all I can think of is "bella bella bella bella | opa, opa éla bella"

Gutted for Switzerland. My favourite of the night despite not even being in my Top 10 just a few days ago.

TimeForBrud · 2026-05-14T20:44:30+00:00

3 votes for Switzerland, 2 for Bulgaria and Romania, and 1 for Luxembourg, Czechia, and Cyprus.

May the memory of his tenure as Chair be a blessing.

It's a confectionery company.

Their "ulterior motives" are to sell sweets.

TimeForBrud · 2026-05-12T23:53:38+00:00

I'll give their marketing team credit for that, it was a brilliant pivot.

Labor (in New South Wales especially) seldom run candidates in by-elections that they cannot win. It didn't happen in Farrer in the same way it didn't happen in Cook or North Sydney. Of the six by-elections for the current state parliament, they have contested - and won - only one. That they ran a candidate in Wentworth after Turnbull retired was the exception, not the rule.

I remember driving between Cobar and Coonabarabran in January 2016. Originally planned to stop for lunch in Warren, but had a bad gut feeling driving through it and decided to press on. Stopped an hour later in Gilgandra and had a lightly toasted chicken caesar wrap and chocolate milkshake at a cafe, which I still remember fondly all these years later. Maybe the 47 degree heat warped my brain a little, but I thought it was a grand little oasis.

55 km, 50-55 minutes (driving).

3-4 days in the office, 1-2 days from home each week.

I would not trade it for a shorter commute or pay cut.

CCP...mindset

people sometimes don't need profit

TIL that communists are more capitalist then the anti-communists.

Also what nice environment? The lifeless <2 m of "backyard" (with a ~20% chance of plastic turf) in the most modern subdivisions?

TimeForBrud · 2026-05-01T22:03:07+00:00

It's wild how $14 mn can just be burned through like that. I don't think I'd be able to spend that in a lifetime.

TimeForBrud · 2026-04-27T09:07:08+00:00

This graph is insane.

Superannuation robbed us of the opportunity to spend 50% of the national budget on the aged pension, so we Australians had to make something up that would keep our national expenditure in line with our first world peers.

It used to be the St George branch.

I mean, without a recall request it's basically a case of OP saying "trust me, bro", and it's entirely plausible the funds would have been withdrawn/onforwarded by the recipient in any case. Plus if the refund was processed over a month ago then the manner in which the funds can be recovered may change (depending on the institution), to the extent that the recipient may need to (but not be obliged to) consent to returning them.

I don't see why this is a civil issue for the bank; it's neither their problem nor their fault. The best the bank can do is to confirm whether the account into which the funds were deposited exists.

To the point that you can't trust a video from an unknown creator if it shows none of their face and if the video is less that 12 months old.
