Even for a smoker they’re not a great gift imo. I had a zippo that I never used as it smelled and needed filling too often.

I’ve been there. My “Uncle’s” mob was from there. The Walkers. His mum was Kath the poet and his son was Raymond the school teacher. He was Dennis the leader of the Australian Black Panthers - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denis_Walker_(activist)

Barbecue in Australia for Xmas because December is our summer and it’s hot as fuck so we cook outside.

Not that it’s an excuse but drinking does impair judgement. Using a mobile phone while driving is as big a risk but is a sober decision.

Toyota hilux is the large car of choice there from what I saw. Dual cab for the family, rear tray for goods carrying and enough off road capacity for when the rain or jungle gets out of hand.

Find a pub with a chicken parmigiana and without pokies (gambling).

Fuck US lawmakers. Like they’ve got a leg to stand on when talking about things being “needlessly cruel”.

I caught public transport because I wanted to drink and while it did take a fair bit longer it’s pretty peaceful not having to deal with traffic and parking.

I’d build a hermits commune with a bunch of smaller houses where we could all withdraw to.

I got a plain black case without a window. I used to have Razer KB+Mouse but after a deathadder and viper died I’m trying a logitech mouse, the matched RGB was nice at first but I lost interest in it.

Board games have a solid second hand market.

Club bells / swings are good shoulder mobility exercise.

Gin for the parents. Nothing for the kid.

Hey were you looking for socks? And are you in NZ? An ex of mine introduced me to possum fur socks, they’re a pest in NZ so keep an eye out.

I needed a WWC for a council park worker job, probably in case there’s kids at the playground while we’re whipper snipping or whatevs.

RIP Mr Blonde.

I think “Not just bikes” on YT recently covered this. 30 is the pedestrian safe speed for cars in both being able to stop safely around pedestrian unpredictability and if there is an impact it’s nice n slow.

I know about it from analysing fake micro SD cards where they’ve effectively rewritten the drive data to appear as more than it was. I followed a guide, I can’t remember what *nix tools I used.

I’ve been fighting a sore throat so I got day drunk on hot toddies and naps thus am now wide awake. Throat feels great though. I’ve got a lunch catch up that I hope I get enough sleep for.
