i have to admit, australia post's ParcelPost slogan (for its flat rate postage based on size and not weight) is really nice to say – "if it packs, it posts". maybe its just a little verbal stim i have idk

im watching the national mourning service for king harald. i have been learning norwegian for the last ten years purely through duolingo and engaging with norwegian media (TV, news, pop music) and it’s all really helped to understand this, even without english subtitles

imagine sydney/nsw rail electrification in 1910s/1920s went with 15kV AC 16⅔ Hz instead of 1500V DC.

also despite how simple and cheap to manufacture they are, the physics about how they work is very fascinating

sydney at the centre of the world? sounds like my kind of map

This vintage 1938 world map is centered around Sydney, Australia. Since it was published by Qantas, it also shows travel distance to all parts of the world. Great piece. Zoomable high-res version here: buff.ly/9Esk0vX

all these people replying to this with "why do you need a rice cooker, its easy to cook rice" probably cook rice like they cook pasta. its not the same.

Anon Opin@anonopin.bsky.social · last wk.

If like me you've spent years trying to cook perfect rice then do yourself a favour and buy a rice cooker. Complete game changer and stunning rice every time, plus you can buy one quite cheaply.

Arber Xhekaj when asked today what it means to play for the Habs: "It means everything. It feels like a family. All those guys in the locker room, they're brothers to me. We truly love playing for each other and we all have fun together."
