There IS a seal in that photo.

To see it, ya gotta put on some goggles and stick your head in the water.

Port? Use of "port" to denote a bag, suitcase, or other "carry all"?

Only octogenarians use "port" in this manner...

Yanks want to hear Australian characters being voiced by Yanks.

An Aussie character, voiced by an Aussie, will be heard as British by a Yank.

"Road usage" has been taxed through the fuel excise paid at the bowser. This method is far from perfect, but it does allow reasonably anonymous travel.

In the future, the gov't will have (at least) two ways of taxing the road usage of EVs.

One way will be fair, equitable, based on 'mileage', and anonymous.

The other way will permit the government to conduct 'real time' monitoring of every vehicle's speed and position.

Our gov't will choose this second option, and with bipartisan support.

The French wouldn't say that. They'd say whatever is French for "Sign here!"

We'd then pay them a few more BILLION dollars, and the French would wait a week or two for another policy reversal.

At the rate we're going, we'll end up buying our subs from China...

Yeah. It's like "Foster's" supposedly being our national beer.
Who the f*** in Australia actually drinks Foster's? (Rhetorical question...)

Sean Bean? Naaah.
The husband survived.
Sean Bean pretty much only takes roles where his character dies...!

Wearing clothing without washing it first is NOT advisable.

When a label reads, "wash before wearing," it is a safety instruction.

If one wishes to wear new underpants that are "factory fresh" complete with formaldehyde, go for it. Just don't act surprised when diagnosed with leukaemia...

What have you got against Great White Sharks?
What have they ever done to you?

AFAIK, every time Pauline Hanson goes swimming at a beach, an environmental impact statement needs to be completed, and clean up operations commence soon afterwards.

Yeah! I hear you, especially regarding 'onboarding' often being a barrier. (Thankfully, Signal is bloody easy.)

My own attitude to family and friends is to say, "If ya wanna communicate with me, these are the acceptable options..."

If they don't wish to use appropriate methods, that's fine, but they can't message me. Bugger 'em!

I encourage the use of Signal as a 'gateway drug"... I mean, "app," and several people have subsequently added other private messaging apps as options.

@quokka

I know I'm going to regret asking this, but why not Signal?

Yes, I know it has the disadvantage of not being decentralised, and it's not anonymous as a phone number is required.

However, for the *vast majority* of people, it is the simplest and easiest solution to gaining E2EE comms.

Are Ice Break (2 litre) bottles not recyclable?

There's no deposit on them, but they're marked with "please recycle".
