Konomex posted:A short bit of research says yes and no. Holden, Ford, Toyota all manufactured cars here, but were not Australian owned. The majority of Australian owned car manufacturers produced sports cars exclusively, with at least 5 of them producing replica versions of the SS Jaguar model for some reason. Holden was technically originally an Australian company - they started out as a Saddlery manufacturer in South Australia in the 1850s, branched out into cars in 1908, and became a GM subsidiary in 1931.

Breetai posted:Please, PLEASE correct me if I'm wrong, but I was looking up the efficacy of rapid tests and read that they return a positive result 70% of the time when the testee has COVID. This suggests a 30% failure rate to detect a positive case. There are varying grades of RAT tests, the ones that are officially registered for use here are grouped into either 80%, 90% or 95% accuracy brackets.

I decided years ago I would never fly between Brisbane and Sydney ever again unless there was some emergency that required me to get there asap. Going on road trips is so much more satisfying and enjoyable and I think trains would be similar. I’ve always wanted to go on the Ghan or the Australian Pacific. If I ever win the lotto I’m taking a year to drive around the country.

The point of workplace vaccination mandates is to make life difficult for the unvaccinated so as to pressure people who might otherwise not have done so into getting the jab. Edit: and It’s working. I know multiple people both coworkers and friends who were adamant about not getting the vax right up until the point they discovered they would lose their job if they didn’t.

I think your attitude to kfc depends on whether or not you live in the superior state of Queensland, where we have access to hot and spicy as a year round permanent menu item (and nobody ever loving eats original recipe.) I had the opportunity to try red rooster fried chicken for the first time recently and I’d rate it a big step up from KFC original and a moderate step down from KFC hot and spicy.

To return to fried chicken for a moment; what has become quite common (at least in Brisbane) and is vastly superior to Korean Fried Chicken is Taiwanese Fried Chicken - the most common chain being Hotstar. If you haven’t tried it I highly encourage it. Some chains do both Fried Chicken and Bubble Tea.

Like someone took a look at kfc hot and spicy and said ‘ this is good, but our target demographic is too bogan for spices; make it taste like gravox instead.’
