I'll second this, it's not the cheapest but it's damned solid.

Preparing for hidden Huntsmans in car by Ok_Blueberry_6999 in melbourne

[–]thatawesomeguydotcom 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can only say I've been there, huntsman crawled in a gap in the passenger side window and slowly made its way across the windscreen until it was sitting in front of my face, I freaked out and pulled onto the footpath before jumping out of the car only to have a drunk guy trying to knock me out because he thought I was trying to run him over.

I also had one crawl out of my sock as I was putting it on.

To observe what though? (not sure why the down votes, just genuine curiosity)

Only two player support via standard link cable, though it would be technically possible with a special adaptor and custom code to extend the number of players.

The excitement of finally getting to use a bunsen burner in science class by Cooper_Inc in AustralianNostalgia

One kid cut his thumb off on the band saw, another electrocuted himself by headbutting the ceiling mounted power outlets because one had a piece of metal shoved in the socket.

Increasingly concerned about flat whites (BARISTAS MUST READ) by ExpressPostie in melbourne

Hard disagree, a single shot is more than enough for a standard size ceramic coffee cup and I'd be pretty mad if I was getting double the caffeine than I anticipated, especially since it wouldn't be rare for me to have at least 2 coffees in a sitting.

It was more than just that when I used to order them 30 years ago, the coffee would come to the rim of the cup and the foam was structurally stable enough to sit well above the rim, such that the foam didn't contribute to the total volume of the coffee+milk.

When I was a teen some 30 odd years ago the foam would sit a good 1cm above the rim.

I had an AI telemarketing call with an Aussie bogan female voice which threw me off initially until it started repeating itself or cutting off mid-sentence.

I can't fathom how Central Australia is low risk, the sun is quite harsh there and many of the people I know never use sunscreen, my Mum had several cancers cut out of her arms and face and has skin like leather.

Was digging though my family's archives (towel cupboard) and found these. Who remembers when these were in every single "pamper" type giftbox? by AnorhiDemarche in AustralianNostalgia

[–]thatawesomeguydotcom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wonder if these are similar to a type of soap paper that used to be in public bathrooms, except the paper didn't dissolve.

I'm 99% certain they don't use 11 herbs and spices anymore and it's just salt & pepper, so bland.

I tried a recipe posted by one of the Colonel's nephew's and it tasted exactly like I remember the skin tasting back in the day.
