This is a thread of my favourite Aussie slang. It’s a mixed bag of widely known vs regional, brand-new vs outdated etc. I had a neighbour in Melbourne for 5 years who spoke almost entirely in slang from the ’60s (so shout out to Frances from Mentone for teaching me lots of them!)

I wish the same politicians who claim they did not know any better at the age of 21 took the same mindset to the 10-year-old children they seem to have no problem incarcerating because apparently at 10 you should know better. #raisetheage

@dbfmurray Nope, I'm not here

@dbfmurray @CommBank This would be your bread and butter! From our casual research, properties at the top end are still selling, while ones that have sold for lower amounts are instead taken off the market (if they aren't desperate). That would skew the comparable sales data higher.

[Sheridanio @limefruit]

@dbfmurray @CommBank Not sure about CBA (they always have to be different) but most banks do not do their own valuations. The data would be sourced from a vendor like CoreLogic.

Desktop valuations are based on unimproved land value, recent comparable sales, and fairy dust.

The recent Twitter meltdown reminds me of the last leg of Freenode, an Open-Source IRC network. It has been subject to a hostile takeover, and the new "owner" tried to force "free speech" rules onto everyone.... (cont...) 🧵

Overheard my 11 y/o daughter record her voicemail greeting: “Hi, you’ve reached my voicemail. When you hear the beep, hang up and send me a text.” This generation gets it.

A(nother) quick reminder of the ‘snaccident’: the inadvertent eating of an entire packet of biscuits/crisps/etc. when you meant to have just the one.

(Apparently you can have a ‘gincident’ too.)

If Twitter crashes and you need to find me, the hell you will. I've got a two day head start on you, which is more than I need. I speak a dozen languages, know every local custom, I'll blend in, disappear, you'll never see me again.

If I'm going to write a gui app for win95, should I use VB6 or FreePascal?

@dbfmurray Enjoy!

I believe @ID_AA_Carmack will find this amusing.
