How is it defamatory? It’s not defamatory. It doesn’t accuse a specific person of stabbing anyone, and a situation can’t be defamation. Unless shopping centres or suburbs can sue for defamation, in which case, they still couldn’t, because it objectively happened.
Jif is an oven cleaner here. Because I hate everyone, I started pronouncing it Gif. Makes a lot of people very very angry
Is US an abbreviation of an initialism (USA)?
Is pronouncing LED like an acronym common? I’ve never heard it, and it would take me a while to work out what they’re on about if they’re talking about “lead”

I ditched DVDs, but I’m actively expanding my VHS collection. They’re basically vintage now. Cool retro tech I can’t ordinarily buy/use. We do have a player, but I’m not going to dare play these because I don’t want it eating my tape. I’ve tested other tapes, and it hasn’t, but I don’t trust it
IT’S HEEEEERRREEEEE
Despite having spent ~280 hours on the series, I’ve still only seen 2 of the episodes in the box set
(Yes they’re VHS tapes)
I had a dream a few nights ago about going to Cairns and it was pretty much the same story
I just about exclusively Lemmy from mobile, and auto carrot hates my guts. I end up sounding illiterate most of the time
Nah, but I stole the article off Reddit (although linked to a better source, because fuck 7news), and the top comment on that thread was also “Woodgrove, Melton. Saved you a click”

This comment looks familiar…
Thanks z! I’ve updated the title
Side note: it really irks me that almost every ABC article has “allegedly” somewhere in the title.
I get they’re all paranoid about being sued, but this isn’t alleged, a kid was ACTUALLY stabbed. That can’t be disputed, and you can’t be sued for defamation for claiming that something that actually happened, happened.
For some people it’s “POV:”. For me it’s “allegedly this situation that very obviously happened, happened”.
We briefly owned a rabbit when I was younger. The next door neighbour packed all her stuff up and moved to Perth and couldn’t be bothered bringing most of her animals. She had a rabbit, 3 cats, and 2 dogs. She took the dogs and left the rest. Mum assumed the RSPCA would probably put them all down (they were all getting old), so we ended up with most of them.
The rabbit was absolutely dark magic. It got out twice, and we ended up building a little rabbit-run for it with chicken wire and wood. But we didn’t do a good enough job, and it snuck out the corner. Everytime it ran away, it ended up in the yard of some kids down the road. Eventually mum decided it was too difficult and asked their parents, and then the rabbit became the kids problem!
Today, or I guess yesterday, was such a nice day. Not a huge fan of this new day we’re doing with cold and rain again, though.
The intake or drainage hose? I’ve never heard of those breaking before the washing machine before
What? You don’t have a compulsive urge to put nails through your window?
Do you even have a life bro?
Window fixed, or rather, secured
He initially just put some cardboard and duct tape over it, but then noticed some more major cracks running up the window so suggested that he could board it up as it might be a few weeks until a glazier comes to replace it.
I called emergency maintenance, because it does qualify as an emergency repair (even though he came to “fix” it on Wednesday and I just didn’t notice…). And the bloke who fixed it was from… Drumroll… McPeake!
He was actually pretty chill though, called the bloke an idiot, and said that he absolutely should not have even come to “fix” it without notifying anyone. Technically he did notify me, he said on Tuesday he’d come by the next day to fix it. But he still should’ve knocked, and he absolutely should not have just tried to do a runner after breaking the window. Tosser.
Yes, but in regard to the title, nobody was accused, therefore nobody can sue for defamation.
