I swear I’m not making this up, but I was recording an interview with an Australian person and they told me “oh hang on, there’s a giant spider attacking me, I’ll be right back.”

Angus Taylor, he of Jamland, a man too stupid to log out of his main and into his sock account, wants to be prime minister of Australia.

Help, my partner @DevRhiana is learning a technology, but the tutorial she's using keeps shortening the word "container":
this.cnt = Customer.newCnt();
…and so on.
This would normally be fine, but we were both raised Australian, and so keep misreading the abbreviation as a different word which you would use to refer to your best mate in certain social contexts.
I'm worried this is going to spill over into our everyday speech, and I'll start saying such inappropriate things like "yeah nah they're a good container", or "they're alright, but they can be a bit of a container at times".

Sounds suitably shady. Now I want to start a punk or industrial band called Dynamic Ad Insertion. Something along these lines ...

A protest song from the 1998 album Politics Can be Fun. I vaguely remember downloading this on Napster in 99(?). It's a fun bit of musical satire, that skewers the Westminster Parliamentary system with great use of samples, like;
"Under current constitutional arrangements, a government that is elected has virtually dictatorial power for the next 3 years."
"MANDATE!" (with the Prime Minister on guest vocals)., by EYE

Today I learnt you have to be 18+ in #Australia to be able to purchase a mitre saw.
It's hard to imagine a tool that is less useful as a weapon, so I'm guessing we're just really worried about kids getting into carpentry these days.
