This is literally what happens to Helldivers in Helldivers 2. As much as I enjoy the game I’d rather not have Super Earth become a reality.

If Rupert Murdoch was still in Australia, he’d be supporting the Liberal Party.

Rupert Murdoch (through his media companies) still very much does support the Liberal party.

I have a web dev joke but [object Object]

I feel it’s important to add that the clip ends immediately after the Doctor slaps Paris.

Then he just needs to appoint himself as Chief Justice of the Supreme Court and become the President of the Senate to fulfill his dream of running the entire government.

Our former prime minister actually did something like this. He secretly appointed himself as health minister, finance minister, industry minister, home affairs minister and treasurer. It was quite a big scandal that only came out after the election that kicked out his government and threw a lot of ministerial decisions made during that time into legal doubt, though nothing ended up coming from it.

Morrison was a lazy shit and only used his secret ministerial powers a few times, he just wanted to have the power for himself. His stated reason was “in case the existing ministers became incapacitated by COVID”, but we already have assistant ministers that could fill in if that happened.

Hot chips and potato chips if you need to be specific, for everything else there’s context.

“Essentially infinite” is a bit of a stretch. The minimum warranty period is 12 months but it is true that there’s no defined maximum period. The reasonably expected lifespan of a consumer good generally increases with its value. Manufacturers and retailers are free to offer further warranties in addition to the guaranteed warranty period under the consumer law but this does not reduce or replace your rights under the law.

I will add that change of mind refunds are not covered by Australian consumer law and it is uncommon for retailers to accept them compared to the US. You can usually exchange something for another item of equivalent value or store credit, but you usually can’t buy a phone to try out and return it after 30 days for example.

(I assume) Australia

You assume correctly. Senate Estimates is usually a bit more dignified than Question Time in the House of Representatives though. QT is just a straight up circus with the way the opposition behaves.

Little Bobby Tables

In Australia Coca-Cola is made under licence by Coca-Cola Amatil (not the same company), and the full sugar version uses local cane sugar. I don’t know if the recipes for the sugar free versions are different to the US, but I suspect they might be in order to better match the taste of the local full sugar recipe.

There are dozens of us!

Waking up crying every 2 hours? I guarantee that whoever came up with that saying to mean sleeping well never had kids.

I struggled to sleep on planes even before I had an energetic little kid to keep under control. I don’t like sleeping while sitting up so I only ever manage to sleep lightly for a couple of hours at most.

I signed up on lemm.ee because I had trouble signing up on aussie.zone at first, but after trying again it worked and now aussie.zone is my ‘home’ instance. I do also have a Mastodon account on mastodon.world.
