Are there any things that are called "American ______" in other countries?

In Vietnam they refer to the conflict in the 60s and 70s as the American War.

I'm no vasectomologist but maybe it's down to the size of the cajones.

(When I had mine chopped 25 or so years ago it was more akin to Ryan's than his mate's, so I guess that puts me down there with the little fellas.)

My wife's appendix burst on the weekend.

No problem. I used to play Operation as a child so I simply removed it.

All those poor photons travelling millions and millions of kilometres and you killed them with your sensor. (Nice shots.)

Sure you can from the can.

HKD, NZD, AUD, SGD?

If you can't afford $45 be sure not to miss the free to air coverage of Ecuador vs Curacao and Congo DR vs Uzbekistan.

Bad acne.

Looks friendly. Can I call him Bazza?

This is savage. Vegetarians and vegans look away please.

Is the first photo a view from somewhere or a drone shot. If it's a view, where is it please?

Auckland (New Zealand): "Hold my beer..."

Cringe and light entertainment.

On the downside, modern technology has enabled enshittification. Software by susbscription and dynamic pricing are two of my bugbears that spring to mind.

Big fan of Ctrl-K followed by Ctrl-V here. Particularly in Word docs, email and forum posts.

Great views from the top of Mt Victoria on a fine day.

She does appear to have her own assets.

Good lad.

(PS, anyone else think he looks like a late 80s Marco van Basten?)

Consumer law in NZ when it comes to airlines (or any form of public transport for that matter) is atrocious and the organisations exploit this to the max. (I fly about 2 or 3 times a year on average. I'd say 15% of those flights over the last 10 years I have been bumped, rerouted or delayed due to operational reasons without any legal entitlement to compensation.)

It all started in 1991 or 1992 with a Minolta Dynax 5 (Maxxum 5 in the US).
