  1. Noooo! That's what this site is for. Definitions, exchange rates ... and everything. Can someone tell me what time it is? But seriously, some questions are illuminating because others have wondered but dared not ask. But serving cake is what happens in the tea rooms at Cartridges. One of the things.
  2. It was one of those cartoons that set me giggling, and does when I look at it again!
  3. Folks, I think we have addressed the non-binary issue enough. This discussion of their gender identity risks crossing into the fraught political debate over gender politics, or to be abuse of a public figure, and you all know the rules on those matters.
  4. Windhoek for those wondering.
  5. I think moolah is the common spelling. https://www.dictionary.com/browse/moolah
  6. That converts to just over 20cm.
  7. Australie: Null Points The Milkshake Man blows it!
  8. Australian GST doesn't put US products at any disadvantage to Australian products in our market. What taxes US jurisdictions apply to goods, whether they are from the US or anywhere else is a matter for them. If some choose not to tax goods at the point of sale, that's their decision not something that some other country has done to them. Australian and US internal tax arrangements (and their costs of production, including labour costs) each affect the prices they can afford to charge on products they export. We could claim that US national minimum wages that are lower than ours give your producers an unfair advantage selling into Australia. (We don't.)
  9. Rita Panahi? She's a fringe right wing Australian commentator, so I would treat anything she posted with extreme caution. Several kilos of salt.
  10. Not true, the US has applied 10% tariffs as a baseline regardless of what applies to US exports. Australia has effectively no tariffs on US exports but we have 10% on our exports to the US.
  11. Not an entirely unreasonable observation, but still ... !
  12. Ok, gents, lets get back to the subject at hand and cut the sniping.
  13. Welcome to the forum @Gilfson! Hope you find it useful.
  14. It does suck indeed, I've been there once or twice. Any resemblance to food is purely coincidental. Sometimes those places will have some sandwiches which are meh but better than having nothing but a packet of chips. Spray cheese can be made sort-of palatable, but that would need something like celery sticks to spray it into, and those sorts of places sure as hell won't have that!
  15. Definitely a bottle of Yellow Tail, no half measures!
  16. I often add essential toppings (like anchovies) to supermarket pizzas, frozen or fresh, and also a little extra cheese. To me, any pizza made with a bought base is 'semi-homemade'. Even making the base using self-raising flour for the dough rather than a yeast dough is sort of cheating. But I don't really care!
  17. Adding my two bob's worth to AZ, PA and PK, I flew into EWR Terminal A and the bus between there and the monorail was fine, just add a little time.
  18. As there is when certain other posters refer to hit pieces.
  19. Some of those rules are advice or guidance, others are ex cathedra pronouncements.
  20. His choice to be called Leo XIV has prompted that view of his intent, as it evokes Rerum Novarum, the noted encyclical of Leo XIII.
