He/Him. Your friendly local, mostly retired guy. Likes sciencey stuff, cars (especially the electric and/or heavily armoured kind), wandering around in the bush, mucking around with food. Ex electrician, soldier, salesman, business manager, consultant, public servant. Proud dad and step-dad. Eternally frustrated customer of https://scorpinc.solutions. Partly retired. May randomly talk about #tanks. Opinions are my own and subject to change.

The Government's big announcement on domestic violence looks pretty bad, eh?

"We might give you a few bucks to help run away if you're willing to let Centrelink treat you like shit for a couple of months while you smash your head against the dehumanizing process of begging disinterested public servants for help".

But what about the perpatrators?

"We're also going to censor the Internet"

Trying out my hiking pizza menu. All put together with shelf stable ingredients (no refrigeration required) and done on the jetboil. A damper mix for the base. Tastes good. Will taste awesome after a couple of days in the bush. Surprisingly filling too

Flattened out damper mix in a titanium pan on top of the jetboil
The finished pizza. Crust, tomato paste, oregano, garlic, pepperoni and melted cheese. What's not to like?

Quiet 'quitting' should not be conflated with work to rule. Quiet quitting suggests skiving off and doing sweet FA while collecting a full pay. Work to rule is an entirely legitimate way to demonstrate the true value of your work and is even more effective when carried out collectively

The widespread fascination with collecting money in the US electoral system is completely bizarre to most of the world. Other countries have political donors, but the scale of it is beyond comparison

If you have a big 4WD and you're complaining about city parking fees I'm pretty sure you just outed yourself as a Toorak taxi owner.

I don't believe Barnaby's story simply because every other thing he says is so obviously BS. But it's well past time to put a stop to our lawmakers running the country while boozed to the eyeballs. This guy wasn't having a night out on the cans, he was coming straight from work in that state of inebriation

Reminded of the time a few months ago when we were visited by a in the city trying to rest for the day. Unfortunately, not only had he perched under a translucent roof, but the resident honey-eaters took exception to his presence and harangued him all day. Worst city stay ever for the poor guy

The ALP should stop pretending that any of those dickheads on $200k+ whinging in the press about tax cuts would ever vote for them* and just give them the finger and crack on
