- Comment on Tax breaks for huge US-style utes cost Australians over $250m in foregone revenue in 2023. 20 minutes ago:
One of my Aussie relatives has a top of the line Dodge RAM Laramie and it literally has sidesteps that automatically slide out when you open the door…

It’s a bummer smaller, Aussie utes aren’t a thing anymore after Holden was killed and Ford axed all their exiting cars. If you want a ute in 2025 it’s pretty much gonna be big either way; of course those US shitmobiles are even bigger but still.

A single day of an AWS data center’s operation probably causes more damage that that fund could ever help mend
- Comment on The original Ettamogah Pub in Albury, NSW 1 day ago:
Reading further into it, it seemed to have been the name of a watering hole in the area
- Comment on The original Ettamogah Pub in Albury, NSW 1 day ago:
Yeah, someone mentioned to me how it used to be next to the highway but then said highway was rebuilt to bypass Albury or something.
It’s still not that far away in my opinion but it’s not exactly walking distance from anywhere.
- Comment on The original Ettamogah Pub in Albury, NSW 1 day ago:
Interesting that the previous owner of the Pub in Albury had these grand plans of a caravan park and a petrol station, even read somewhere that they wanted to build it into a theme park.
Obviously didn’t go too well for them…

It’s a Wiradjuri word meaning “place of good drink”
- Comment on The original Ettamogah Pub in Albury, NSW 1 day ago:
They still had them when I was there!
- Comment on The original Ettamogah Pub in Albury, NSW 1 day ago:
Mhhh… Looked up some reviews on Google and the owner’s responses are either hopeful that they can return the place to its former glory, blaming the previous owners for its current state, dismissive of any criticism or completely unhinged…
I hope it won’t close or anything…

I’m kinda aware that there were 4 Ettamogah Pubs in total, but I don’t know where and I can’t find anything about the other ones
- Comment on The original Ettamogah Pub in Albury, NSW 1 day ago:
I actually don’t know the significance of the words, must be in reference to the Ettamogah Pub comic strip that inspired the building. But you’re right, it’s kinda amusing how Aussie it is; I couldn’t help but chuckle when first reading it^^
Thanks heaps for sharing!

I’d love seeing that picture, if you wanna show it

It must’ve been amazing back then. My relatives kept telling me how popular it was with tourists.

They denied Kanye West entrance to Straya because of Antisemitism, but a chatbot can spew out anything without consequence?
- Comment on YouTube is getting rid of its Trending page and Trending Now list 5 days ago:
Could that be the first actual improvement in years?
I’m sure they’re gonna replace it with something even more asinine but my god, the trending page was always just a cesspool of the absolute worst content on YouTube (with a few exceptions every now and then)

Holy fuck… I mean that’s great but why it take until 2021 for them to enquire about that?

I don’t think I’ll be helping this year, it’s too bloody hot over here to deal with all the surrounding drama (from people who try to sabotage the flag), but it’s cool to see that the Aboriginal Flag is now “officially” part of it

Is Carroll & Richardson Flagworld a indigenous business? As far as I know they hold the exclusive licence to manufacture the Aboriginal Flag in actual flag form and I wonder why they’re not mentioned

They’re probably confused as to what you mean by writing my user name in the title. IEEE1394 is the technical name for FireWire.

I assume it’s an indoor cat by the leash? I can’t remember if my cat actually minded being alone but she was pretty much free to leave the house whenever anyway, I wouldn’t really allow that nowadays.
