Frollows fired Tony Biggs after he played NWA on air.

He is immortalised in the song “Arnold Frollows is a Genius” by Front End Loader, which was a sarcastic criticism of him.

Because the ABC and BOM have experts who are also enthusiasts.

As much fun it is to criticise the BOM when it is 34 degrees and rainy when they said it would be 33 and sunny, they are still the most accurate source of weather information.

The ABC (and independent public radio/TV) only interest is (should be) serving their communities. The ABC does have to satisfy their political and corporate overlords (look at what Arnold Frollows did to JJJ) but is a more reliable source of reality-based news and information.

When the ABC (and RRR/PBS/MBS/etc) stuff up and get to “corporate”, they loose supporters. Think of what happened when Sportsgirl tried to become a RRR sponsor…

A lot of people thought that the actions of other Right-Wing governments performed were electoral suicide.

Next thing you know, they are in power.

UKIP/Tories, Trump 1.0, Trump 2.0.

The pundits said that none of them would get in. Next minute, Brexit happens, Trump 1.0 happens and then against all logic, Trump gets voted in a second time.

I love to bash Meta, but this is purely a problem for two reasons;

A) /a certain demographic/ only get their News from one source. This is the same problem regardless of where you get your News from.

B) News feeds and filtering is automated. There are no human editors; it is all algorithmic. Simple user-defined algorithms are OK, but the more they get modified by Fake Understanding, the less useful they become.

Did it derail the chain?

Duplo is the right proportion.

Fabuland scale would have been ideal for the 4+.

Honestly, Fabuland is overdue for a relaunch. Minidolls were successful, another scale would not only add realism to models and could also rejuvenate stale product licences (like Starwars).

Technic Scale Figs would also be pretty cool, although not all technic models are at the same scale.

You just described all of Bill Nighy’s roles.

Mainly due to the density of the population.

The Australian population is quite sparse, mainly because we never got our Multifunction Polis.

From the article; “It found nuclear power would be far more expensive than the projected path of shifting to mostly renewable energy. “

Some of the Nigel and Stephen audiobooks have absolutely woeful audio quality. Tony’s were always good quality but the Abridgements did result in a sub-par experience.

All the new Penguin Audiobooks have excellent production and audio quality and although some of the narrators performances aren’t very popular, they are very entertaining.

Anyone who believes the LNP that Nuclear is an economic option must be brain dead.

Anyone who believes the LNP at all must be brain dead.

It is interesting to compare JPosts Zionist propaganda interpretation of this to The Conversation and ABCs rational and balanced reporting on the issue.

“Insurance Industry demands Taxpayers subsidise their record profits”

Attempting to clean the bathroom, giving up a binging movies from the 1990s

Same thing we do every weekend.

I think that Kingsmen did it best with The Sun headlines plastered all over Galahads office. He kept every front page from every time he saved the world.

They need to ban CoPilot, OpenAI, Apple Intelligence and all the other remora swimming around trying to get some tidbits of data.

The major parties won’t be happy about that!

We must be going to different stores on different days.

All the Local IGAs in my area employ single mums and more mature staff members. The only young employees I see are family members of the owners.

The big IGA in a nearby town employs the same demographics of staff members; they even have a professional Butcher on staff (and they have excellent value cuts of meat) (I used to deliver for a butcher when I was younger and have seen some dodgy butchers and some overpriced dodgy butchers and some excellent butchers.)

My front sprinklers are on the fritz. I had to water half of my front yard by hand! Oh well. I had to do the naturestrip anyway.
