I can absolutely help with that. But not from here.

I'll get into this when I get home in a couple of hours.

Cash economy is strong. I'm moderately sure my first few employers were paying me cash but not paying taxes/super etc. I was a clueless teenager getting cash envelopes and didn't know better. I'm probably owed a couple hundred dollars in super from each of them.

I have no intention to help you do either of these things. Maybe possibly feed you in a pinch, but absolutely not the other one.

Bold of you to assume we model our politics on yours. Politically, we resemble the UK more than the USA. We love you guys, but we don't want to be like you, politically.

When the comments are better than the article! 🍿🤣

There have been questions raised recently over whether we should be tagging Betoota/Chaser/Shovel/Belltower/etc articles as [Satire] so people aren't confused. I'm torn. I don't want people from outside Australia seeing these articles and being misinformed (For anyone not Australian and unfamiliar with The Chaser: Julia Gillard does not endorse Donald Trump - we promise). This article is written for Australians as a bit of fun. I do however love seeing people who know nothing about the headlines/creators leap into the discussion with strong opinions.

Australians are not a serious people. We genuinely enjoy laughing at the world and at politics in particular. Genuine discourse often comes from satirical posts. Take a look at the top ten posts in this community:

Nearly half the posts are satirical.

Just use one of their feeds. Why on earth would you mess around with scraping the web UI?

Stirling Arms in Guildford. They are being quite public about it.

I normally vote. This time, I forgot.

We get one letter in the mail, and that's it. The occasional candidate poster in the suburb.

Yes, it's on me for not putting it in my calendar. But at the same time - I feel like there needs to be more advertising or something to prompt us.

Mini metro but with roads. I prefer the original, I'd have included it in my list, except that it came out several years later than the other games. The titles in that list are all from around 2008-2010, when that sort of game was the norm.

Unfortunately, Fieldrunners is one that loses its appeal once you have figured out how to reliably beat it on the hardest difficulty.

I've just remembered there was a pocket version of Civilization. That one got played so much!! And very re-playable.

Idempotent. It's a best-practice methodology for writing code. Run this code, it determines whether the thing needs to be done and does it. Run it over and over, and it will do no harm. It can be automated to run every 5 minutes to only do the thing when it is needed.

A real world picture to explain the concept:

I'd been doing this for years before I knew the word for it.

Flight Control
Plants vs. Zombies
Peggle
Angry Birds (original one)
Fieldrunners
Asphalt 6
Jetpack Joyride
Doodle Jump

I actually have a couple of these still installed. I think they all cost something like $1-$5 to install but that was it. No in app purchases, no ads etc. So nice.

I'm sure the fact that this happened less than two weeks after China suspended all Iron Ore trade specifically with BHP is pure coincidence.

You might be a bit lost. 🙂
This is the community for Melbourne, Australia and is one of the most active communities on all of Lemmy. So it shows up in people's "All" feeds probably more than it should.

It may make more sense if you know that Myki (my key) is the name of the public transport ticket system in Melbourne.

And now you know the origin of the auspolitics community's thumbnail.

Huh. That's two things I've learned from this thread. In my defense, they've just opened/moved there. I'll have to go check them out.

Oh wow! That's what this will be. I had no idea wrestling what this popular with people over 13.

I don't want to stereotype or anything, but the mood didn't quite match with my past experiences of people lining up for a book signing. Those people with luggage look like they've just landed, taken the train to Perth and immediately joined the line instead of going to their hotel. Besides, what bookshop? White Dwarf books is in the other direction.

'We don't believe in the laws of Australia'
'Taking our guns away is unlawful'

Do they hear themselves?
