None of the above (unless absolutely necessary)

I can get almost everything I need from Aldi and IGA.

As a customer that has their own UniFi Security Gateway and also ran services from home during the old BigPond Cable days, everything that Nath has said is correct.

Back in the 90’s BigPond used to do everything possible to prevent us from running our own unmetered file sharing network. We had a set of relays and proxies which meant that we were able to share files with other BigPond users, bypassing the billing system. I am sure that the Management at BigPond Cable hated this while the Technicians (who also had BigPond Cable) enabled it.

‘“XXXX”, its Australian of “PISS”.’

That said, it is also appropriate that BCF sell both Great Northern and personal watercraft because it is “Making love in a Canoe” beer.

I hear stories of people wheeling entire shopping trolleys of Lego out the front entry, ignoring the greeters/staff members.

They typically wheel the entire trolley straight to their Drug Dealer where they trade it for their recreation of choice.

The Drug Dealers then put them on BrickLink.

Do you mean that the news agency’s should anonymise photos of Nazis or that someone should use an industrial press to change their appearance?

Kneecap a Nazi, Face-plant a Fascist.

You may want to check your telcos agreement on that.

As far as the Telcos are concerned, we all need to happy little consumers of media.

We aren’t allowed to generate and publish any media of our own.

The Governments agree with them.

The fact that it improves routing efficiently and that Optus does not support it explains all you need to know about Optus.

If it was Nappies and Baby Formula, there would have been prosecutions and security guards wrestling single mothers to the ground.

It is anything like my local Big W, since it was Pokémon Cards and Bathers, it was probably employees supplementing their minimum wage of their 7.5 hour shifts.

Pay your employees a living wage!

Processed sweeteners are always much worse than their raw states. Cane, molasses, golden syrup and raw crystallised sugar are much better (and tastier) than white sugar, which is actually quite bland.

I’m waiting for someone to do the same for the “All-Natural” stevia; in almost all “Sugar Free” and “No Sugar” products that aren’t still using Aspartame or Sucralose.

As bad as Sugar is for us, (and as terrible as Fructose is for us), I am confident that Stevia is worse.

My Zire71 had a LiIon battery that did require charging.

My handwriting went from perfect block lettering (engineer/draftsman) to unintelligible scrawl when I learnt graffiti.

I still try to use graffiti when I try to “type” on my AppleWatch.
