I listen to music on a new music radio station - the good new music really stands out

Most people just like the (better bits of) stuff they listened to when they were young

As in Margaret Thatcher was an Englishman?

I don’t think the “us” in that furrie’s statement is inclusive of everyone

“republic” is opposite to “monarchy”. It is unrelated to democracy or authoritarianism. Nazi Germany was a republic. France is a republic.

Your republic is flawed by design. Your founders didn’t trust democracy so they weakened it, the country hasn’t managed to improve the democracy since.

Australia is also a Federation, but a monarchy not a republic. Australia is quite a bit more democratic than America

Luckily we don’t build clocks for n-dimensional time

My grandfather clock is correct* about once a week when I wind and correct it

*It must be correct as it’s very slightly fast (less so than can be fixed with a quarter turn off the pendulum screw) and I set it slightly in the past

In Rome they tell you the fountain water is fine. Though I suspect some is fed through lead pipes

Adelaide water is fine now

Australian here, yes. Our tap water is pretty good

There is no accounting for taste. Who’s to say what’s a better actor?!

Tom Cruise has employees rewrite movies he’ll be in to make his part more, and more in his style.

He has more acting range and ability than so many other actors

His crime wasn’t driving into the sea, it was driving on a closed beach

Yeah, last time I used Usenet the client was the email client, your ISP hosted a server, and the internet occupied the phone line

Some of us want all the internet connected options. And want to own their machine and have good security

Open source car software and firmware would do that

And the other one is the one with opposite facial hair

I don’t mind costing them the effort or $10 for a new domain

Incidentally I have several domains with DNS provided by freedns.afraid.net, which allows sharing domains. Everyone who asks for a domain under any of mine just seems so very sketchy. Now I have to worry if they’re a nazi looking for a new domain to get banned

I’m over this meme, mate

I think I’m connecting from lemmy.world right now

Doesn’t Germany have cheap body disposal options?

At very least you ought to be able to donate your body for medical training

If so, it’s bad advice. Walking into the forest and becoming dead leaves pretty much all the evidence

Like it’s not hard to find cause of death when a skull is found in the remains of an exit bag
