Once again Garn hit the nail on the head.

Some industries are weekend industries; for Hospitality, Retail and Tourism, Saturday and Sunday are the equivalent of Monday and Tuesday for the 9-5 crowd.

That said, Monday and Tuesday are usually the Saturday and Sunday for these workers. Us “Normies” don’t usually particle in fine dining, clubbing or tourist traps on Monday and Tuesdays.

You are right though, Retail and Hospitality workers do need to get better unions so they can get paid a living wage and aren’t being forced to work 7 days a week for 12 hour shifts.

We have preferential voting for a reason (except for literal Nazis), the major parties should always be last on everyone’s ballot.

It should be;

  1. Someone I agree with
  2. Someone I agree with on a lot of issues but not quite everything.
  3. ditto
  4. ditto
  5. Greens, unless the candidate is a complete hippy fucktard that doesn’t know how economics works.
  6. Shit Lite party
  7. Shit party.
  8. Yellow Shitstain
  9. Literal Nazis.

We have a HiSense 60” and have never connected it to any network. It works perfectly as a Dumb Monitor with multiple HDMI inputs and HDCP and HDMI-CEC work perfectly with our AppleTV (HDMI 1) and PS5 (HDMI2) We have TOSLink Optical Audio to an Amp(receiver) and it works almost perfectly, until the Amp chucks a hissy-fit because people forget to turn it off.

The vindictive anarchist in me wants to see what happens when the US crashes and burns, but if Trump gets in it is going to empower the right-wing nut-jobs in other countries too. We will all crash and burn.

“We are price gouging customers, we are ripping off suppliers and we are making our customers feel like criminals. What else can we do it pure evil?”

Considering that Grill’d claim to help community groups with donations, this is very hypocritical. They can help and homeless by paying their employees a living wage.

Maybe the RAFFWU needs to apply to be recipients of “Local Matters”

Most of the Internet denizens who identify as juvenile (or act in a juvenile manner) are actually legal adults. Meanwhile, legal children who are in difficult situations may not have access to the support they need.

I believe that legislating when someone is considered mature does not account for the outliers who are the ones who would benefit most from access, or having their access restricted.

I think this is a real threat to up-and-coming social networks.

Data miners are claiming that increased privacy/sscurity controls on computer platforms are hamstringing their social graph development, but the legal liability of user identity verification is going to be the much bigger problem.

Maybe the computer platform developers need to introduce some sort of anonymised age/identify verification API so that they take the liability. They are the ones with the intimate relationship with the user, and are claiming to protect the users privacy.

When we built our house, we specifically ordered SurfMist Blue (which is a very white colour with a hint of powder blue). The stupid fucking builder installed WoodLand Grey. They had to tear the whole roof off our two storey and re-clad it in the correct colour.

It depends if it is Flat, Metallic or Pearl.

Flat White is easier to touch up and maintain. Metallic hides scratches but Pearl is impossible to colour match and any defects are very visible.

Boomers and GenXers used to love red cars because anyone driving a pov-pack Hyundai Excel in red thought they were driving a Ferrari.

There used to be a meme (idea) that red cars were cop-magnets because people in red cars would drive like dickheads.

All those Boomers grew old and started buying Maroon cars because they were technically red, but wouldn’t be cop-magnets. These colours are colloquially called “Old-Man Burgundy” or “Haemorrhoid Brown”.

 

Mueller River Campground has 5 vehicle-accessible sites, 3 pedestrian-access sites. Each site has access to the inlet beach for canoeing, fishing and swimming.

The nearby Thurra River Campground is not currently accessible due to fires and floods taking out the bridge.
