    Not sure if this has been posted before, but if you ever wondered how big steel objects were forged then wonder no longer.

    I have to ask. Who IS the dude in this picture?

    He's always showing up in memes.

    Reminds me of this guy from 'Just Like Heaven'

    Tesla autopiltot crash warning predicts accident for the car in front (ie not the Tesla) a second before it happens.

    Pretty cool, no more pile ups.

    One of my favourite new year rituals is looking through the Daily Mail's collection of photographs from British New Year's Eve celebrations.

    am guessing what he took as flirting was her chatting with customers and making them feel special, happens to old folks of my age all the time...you'd have to think the note had a bit more than 'hey my name is Joe, wanna go for a coffee somewhere other than Starbucks?' for the cops to need to be called??

    The other day when a well developed young lady mentioned that she liked what was on my shirt, I had to remind myself that it was inappropriate to mention I liked what was in hers. Maybe if I was 20 years younger...

    A couple of years back this young chick who worked at a cafe was flirting with me and I thought to myself "yeah, you've still got it you dog" turns out she was sussing out if I was single to set me up with her mum.
    So no I don't still have it, I'm not sure I ever actually did to be honest.

    CU in the NT: campaign slogan ‘obscene’ says advertising watchdog

    alt text

    The advertising industry watchdog has labelled a controversial guerilla tourism campaign in the Northern Territory that isn’t shy about going Down Under as obscene.
    The Advertising Standards Board has upheld a complaint against a range of merchandise bearing the ‘CU in the NT’ slogan which argues it is “extremely denigrating to women”.
    “It is also promoting the acceptance of a highly derogatory term used instead of vagina and is offensive to women in general,” the complaint to the ABS read.
    The unofficial logo, which makers claim is designed to market the Territory to younger travellers, rippled across social media last November and generated international coverage.
    T-shirts, singlets and bumper stickers that share a strong resemblance to official Tourism NT designs are also sold online.
    The ASB agreed with the complaint’s argument that the promotional material was “not funny or witty.” “The community considered the ‘c-word’ to be obscene and not appropriate in advertising in any form,” the ASB said.
    NT Official, the company behind the slogan, claims it’s no different to acronyms such as “WTF” and “LMFAO” which the ASB doesn’t deem to be offensive language. It said any adverse findings would “impose an overly strict moral view on a fine tradition of Australian humour and in particular the great tradition of the Aussie larrikin.”
    “Neither our social media posts nor our products make any reference or distinction along gender lines and do not advocate anything other than an appreciation of the natural beauty of the Northern Territory,” NT Official said in a statement to the ASB.
    Despite the ruling, the industry body has no powers of enforcement.

    Fucking loved that. The Northern Territory is a special place, still has a sense of humour, and is not shy about taking the piss.
