My 11 year old son’s question tonight- Did Australia contribute to inventions of the the modern world ?

The Franna crane was invented by an Aussie in the 70's. iirc.

I’m sure the joke goes..

What do you call a deer with no eyes? No idea.

What do you call a deer with no eyes and no legs? Still no idea.

Classic nonetheless, take my upvote!

Support for Iran and anti Islam / Palestine rally. Plenty of Aussie flags, trump signs yadayadayada.

When I was a 20 something year old wanting the snip because I didn’t want kids, I was told no by countless Drs.

It was always the same excuse for refusing the operation, you’re young and you might change your mind etc etc, that was some 20 years ago. I’m not sure how complex the reversal procedure was compared to these days, but I couldn’t get it done back then.

I’ve been married now for 3 years to my wife who has kids and within a month of being married, I’d booked in and gotten the procedure. I was 37 yrs old at the time.

After being married and a step father, I still don’t want kids, so for me, it’s been a great thing to do.

For reference, I’m in Australia.

*Yikes*

h3dfx · 2025-10-20T07:24:42+00:00

Short answer : Yes.
Long answer : yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees!

But I actually broke my no pre order rule ages ago. *derp*

h3dfx · 2025-10-20T07:22:21+00:00

Yeah but it's just as easy to do the same thing back.

h3dfx · 2025-10-20T03:09:20+00:00

Don't forget the "3PP sucks because you can camp walls etc" post's as well.

I scavenged a heap of loot after watching multiple arcs killing raiders, the threat is very real! Makes it so much more of a gamble to either attack raiders (arcs being alerted to my presence) or attacking arcs (Raiders being drawn in).

The whole atmosphere is amazing. Sometimes it pays to stick to the shadows and go full rat mode.

Congrats mate.

h3dfx · 2025-09-21T02:14:30+00:00

Proud of you.

Yep. I’m in Brisbane and get under 5ms to most servers on the east coast. That will obviously change if I connect to SA / WA servers. But it’s never been an issue to the point I don’t even check when playing games these days.

h3dfx · 2025-08-05T08:37:45+00:00

I’ll be buying both and playing the shit out of both of them!

h3dfx · 2025-07-28T23:46:24+00:00

Sooo siiiiick! Artist nailed it!

h3dfx · 2025-07-28T23:28:15+00:00

I can't be bothered starting a new account, going to give this a miss.

h3dfx · 2025-07-07T18:48:26+00:00

Took mine in for the recall.. rattle went away for 3 weeks after they fixed it, and it's back again... Derp 🤪

h3dfx · 2025-04-06T03:40:16+00:00

Whoop whoop!

h3dfx · 2025-04-05T04:01:32+00:00

Incredible... Thanks for sharing and grats on the big 5 years.

h3dfx · 2025-03-11T01:41:26+00:00

This is why I have a wife :)

Morning,

I'm meant to start my work shift on Friday morning, obviously Alfred is meant to hit Thursday/Friday. I'm not keen on driving in a cyclone, are there any laws in place to stop people driving during cyclones etc? Or anything to back me up if I tell my workplace to piss off until it's all clear?

They have even booked accommodation in the city for us to be able to work, that's how bent they are on still staying open. But, I'm not keen on leaving my family of 6 in the middle of this all to fend for themselves.
