Dude, fuckin do it. Sewing is super simple, they sell patterns where you just cut out the paper template to the clothing size you are making, then you pin it to fabric, trace the outline and cut along those lines, then sew it together along the edges. For basic clothes i think anyone could get it first try with a ten minutes on youtube of how to use a seeing machine. Then you can literally make whatever type of clothes you want, from whatever fabric you can find, super rewarding too.
I have always found it interesting that typing 150 or 90 in the microwave both set it for 1 & ½ minutes.
I reckon its a bit clever that it allows for both people who think in seconds and people who think is minute+seconds.
The “sold out” thing bothers me sometimes, yes the ARE bands who come from less popular genres towards more mainstream sound because thats where they found commercial success and wanted/needed that money to keep doing what they do.
But there are also many bands who change genres and sound over time and some bands just enjoy playing that kind of ‘radio friendly’ music. Personally i feel like nickleback are in the ‘we just like this kind of music’ category.
(Personally I cant stand nicklebacks genre, so no bias here)
The pinapple on pizza one is weird to me, do these people not enjoy the idea of contrasting and complimentary flavours?
Savoury + sweet is a good combo and they dont seem to have a problem with tomato on pizza if they are getting technical over ‘fruit’ being an ingredient.

About who owns or runs the ship? If this is the case i agree, doesnt matter whos ship it is, these dickheads are just polluting the environment for the sake of it.
I am so tired of watching Aussie TV channels. No quality material and full of shitty content. For even news- 9news, 7news, ABC all kept going on about Taylor swift all day. No quality news reporting at all. Thanks to YouTube , my go to channel for news now is DW and France 24. European channels are the best in my opinion.
Australia is bigger than some people overseas imagine.
So here's a quick comparison of Australian states to their US counterparts.
Tasmania is Australia's smallest state, with a total area of 68,401 square kilometres.
That's bigger than West Virginia, Maryland, Hawaii, Massachusetts, Vermont, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Connecticut, Delaware, or Rhode Island.
Australia's second smallest state is Victoria, at 227, 444km2.
It's larger than Minnesota, Utah, Idaho, Kansas, Nebraska, South Dakota, Washington, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Missouri, Wisconsin, Georgia, Illinois, Iowa, New York, North Carolina, Arkansas, Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi, Ohio, Virginia, Tennessee, Kentucky, Maine, Florida, or Pennsylvania.
Fun fact: Victoria is larger in area than Indiana and South Carolina combined.
Now on to the ones that might surprise you.
You know how Texans love talking up how big Texas is?
New South Wales is bigger than Texas.
And by quite a margin. NSW is 801, 150 sq km compared to 696,241 sq km for Texas.
South Australia is bigger than Texas, and Michigan. Combined.
SA is 984, 321 sq km.
Texas (696,241 km2) plus Michigan (250,493 sq km) is just 946, 734 sq km.
Queensland is bigger than Alaska.
Queensland is 1,729,742 sq km, compared to 1,717,854 sq km for Alaska.
That also means Queensland is bigger than Texas and California. Combined.
Texas (696,241 km2) plus California (423,968 km2) is 1,120,209 sq km.
You can add in Michigan too (250,493 sq km) and it's still only 1,370,702 sq km.
That's right kids. Texas, California, and Michigan combined are 359,040 sq km smaller than Queensland.
That leaves Western Australia. It's 2,527,013 square kilometres.
How big is that? Well, the combined area of Texas and Alaska is 2,414,095 sq km, so pretty bloody big.
I heard someone say this in a video recipe, followed by way more cheese than you should eat at once. It occurred to me that the phrase means ample, not nutritious.
Traditional blizzerd execs? The ones who released expansion packs for games like warcraft & starcraft with an entire second games worth of content for reasonable prices?
Because Taiwan is a very valuble small peice of land.
Microchip manufacturing facilities there are going to be important in the near future with the worlds increasing dependance on computing power & electronics manufacturing.
If Taiwan was just another pocket of rural china then the CCP wouldnt give anywhere much of a shit… but they still probably wouldnt like it “getting away”.
