It's the "Melbourne Cup morning prior to guzzling 12 champagne flutes, shouting racial slurs at anyone not white and eventually getting into a physical altercation with security and/or the police" look.

Watching the video of it he definitely kicks out and for no reason that makes any sense except to intentionally kick something he was looking at. Unless you consider it normal to just randomly stop and kick at things whilst walking along. Saying he just clipped it sounds like a pretty good job of minimising what happened.

Yeah, they released an album in August. Not as good as their last one and certainly nowhere near as good as their classic stuff.

Now TISM on the other hand...

Edit: many people say Frenzal peaked in the late 90s and others say Forever Malcolm Young was their last good album but IMO Smoko At The Pet Food Factory, released in 2011, is an extremely good album. Can't really say the same for their most recent album. Maybe I didn't give it enough of a listen.

Is there any expectation that the current Liberal gambit of drumming up xenophobia and leaking poo poo about Dastyari will bump their poll numbers into the positive? Seems like they're clutching at straws but they're clutching hard and have a good portion of main-stream media along for the ride.

I need to listen less to my idiot colleagues who're are all for ALP policies but "DASTYARI IS A TRAITOR TO AUSTRALIA" (They were saying this well before the recent bullshit).

Good article for the next time someone says millenials are the worst. Also good for making you want to leave this mortal coil because world is a gently caress

What the gently caress, how is a 35-year-old a millenial? I know there's no official definition but I've always thought millenials were people born in the late 90s/early 00s. Also that article is completely unreadable thanks to all the fancy scrolling poo poo and the print version is broken/non-existent.

Then you thought wrong because it's people who grew up/came of age around the turn of the millennium, so those born early 80s-early 90s.

Solemn Sloth posted:

No, millenials are the current in vogue name for gen Y, so like early-mid 80s through to late 90s birthdate.

Well poo poo. Maybe it would be easier to only have two groups: "loving boomers" and "everyone else"

:lol: The NBN has become a complete and utter farce: https://www.nbnco.com.au/blog/connected-homes/whats-the-word-around-the-block-build-for-nbn.html

quote:

Powered by nbn, more and more home owners and renters are seeking a smart future. No wonder that The Block, Australia’s most watched reality TV show, is getting its latest contestants to build their properties fast broadband ready.

Now in its thirteenth season, the episode of The Block, which recently aired on October 4, introduced the nbn™ broadband access network.

Steve Wilson, an nbn Deployment Specialist who featured in the episode, reveals: “on the new series we’re connecting properties to the nbn™ access network in real-time and providing access via retail service providers.”

The work will allow contestants to connect to Wi-Fi in their respective houses, showcasing the benefits of fast broadband to thousands of TV viewers across the country.

A representative told nbn, “new homes provide the perfect environment to plan for the ideal tech solution, but you need to plan early so that nbn can ensure we design the right network solution in time for when residents move in or when you plan to sell.

Without an nbn™-powered plan, many of the smart devices being installed won’t have the necessary bandwidth to work to their full potential.”

I accidentally saw Leunig on ABC One Plus One yesterday, it was cringey as gently caress. Also apparently Jane Hutcheon doesn't think he's an idiot but I guess she'd have to say that:

Can someone give me the low-down on this "ADF spent $10B on weapons in the last four years" which the ABC has been running all loving day with zero context? Is it just a slow news day or what?

Q: When HAS IT NOT been dangerous and precarious times?!?!?!? My guess is it's in the news because there's going to be a scandal about weapon procurements coming out next year.

I did notice in the pieces on ABC24 they repeatedly circled back to the whole "Australia buys all it's weapons from the US" thing but at the same time they tip-toed around the F-35 acquisition by the RAAF. Also they kept showing a still mock-up of a Raytheon SDB II. If there is a scandal and it involves Raytheon then loving lmao it will be a shitshow.
