For whatever goddamn reason, Motorola decided to completely cheap out on the USB port, even on the Ultra, with a USB 2.0 connection!

It doesn't support video out at all, with a max bandwidth of 480Mbs.

My "solution" was to buy a whole new phone.

It still does, just for different reasons:

December is for sitting on the beach sinking tinnies.

Bring it on Seppos. We'll sic the Emus on ya.

This is why I only accept the official existence of 6 colours.

Also - he doesn't care about them paying high gas prices because he is making money from it.

Also it's a mistake to associate all Israelis with the horrific policies being taken by their government.

It's... less of a mistake. They ultimately voted for it.

Same with Americans and Trump.

Urg, I am not a fan of watching Rugby at the G.

I'll still try and get tickets, but I won't be happy about it!

Wasn't chess invented in Persia?

Did you end up trying this combo?

What assets?

Bingo - you can be the most god-awful selfish arsehole, but as long as you "oppose abortion" you're still better than all those baby murderers.

Reminds me of a map of Australian aboriginal nations.

Humans together, strong.

Don't give the tiktokers ideas to blatantly copy, over and over?

Or is he lying now? Or is he always lying?

Australia's government spending reached a record high of A$159,682 million in the June quarter of 2026

A growing economy means that government spending will ultimately increase to new "records" all the time. The relevant measure is spending/revenue as a percentage of GDP - which at 28.3% according to the chart, is also historically quite high.

The gap between what a parent is legally obligated to do; and what is required to raise a healthy, successful and well-adjusted child; is quite large.

What about portraying oneself literally as Jesus, would that count?

Our daughter also has ARFID and for a good few years it absolutely did my head in, and was the source of lots of conflict.

We've since had some great support via our friendly neighbourhood socialist health system, which sounds really similar to the above. And the single most important thing that has helped us is to de-stress the whole interaction.

The wasting food bit was big for me as well, but it was also the personal rejection that got to me. And she would know I was upset and that made her upset and then the whole thing is just a write-off.

WRT wasting food specifically - whether one person eats their food or not makes no difference in the scheme of things, and I started positioning it in my head as "I'm making this food that she possibly or probably won't eat, and I choose to make it anyway because it's worth the risk". And then if she eats it or even tries it, great, and if she doesn't then there's no loss because I already accepted that to start with.

And we let her get her own food if she doesn't want to participate in a meal, and always try to have something on offer that she likes alongside any other stuff.

allergic reactions are immune reactions. I think it technically counts.

How did they ever green-light a new trilogy without having the vaguest idea of what the overall story arc was going to be?? Just beyond moronic.

Pfft, didn't even do the chorus harmonies....

It was a facetious comment - the point being that rents are supposedly higher elsewhere in Aus, so if you moved to say, Sydney, paid higher rents, and then came back, the rent would be comparatively less!

*too

The fact is it’s too easy to get an autism diagnosis.

You've tried it then?

We had strong suspicions when our daughter was 4. She didn't get a diagnosis until she was 9.

Harry Potter is adopted isn't he?

There's plenty of stories about orphans - because that shit happened all the time back in the day. I dunno about how many were formally adopted vs being in an orphanage or some shit though.
