Brussels Sprouts.

When I was a kid my mother used to boil them. I would gag from the taste. Mushy vomit-balls of awful.

A few years ago I watched a Jamie Oliver video on how to cook them properly and now they're a staple with roasts and meat + 3 veg at our place. My wife, my oldest son and I fight over who gets the most.

It looks like a copy of Snake Tales. The art on this one is a bit rougher than what I recall from Snake Tales, but the style is the same.

I injured my spine (at work) in 2022, but didn't realise I had injured my spine. I thought it was a hamstring injury. I gradually dialled back the running to try and allow the "hamstring" to heal. I continued working. I stopped running in March '23. I discovered the extent of the injury in July when I got an MRI (just over a year after the injury). I was told I'd never run again.

I had surgery at the end of November last year. I was cleared to return to work a couple of weeks ago. I was made officially redundant last week (unofficially it was retaliation from my employer for daring to refuse his offer of a private payout and opt for WorkCover instead).

I ran a 32:43 at ParkRun this morning. I'm pretty happy. Unemployed, but happy.

Sharp tools. Check them before you start. Check them after an hour or more of sustained use. Replace (disposable) blades more often. Sharp tools make work easier and safer, and you have the added benefit of a cleaner finish on the cut.

Wow! These gender reveals are really getting out of hand!

I see these a lot in my city.

It depends.

• If you are dining, then place it on the far side of your plate.
• If you are sitting at a table, but not dining, then place it approximately halfway between the dining position and the table edge.
• If you are standing by the table, then I'd go with about 4"-6" from the table edge.
• If you are standing by the table in a high traffic area, then I'd go with 6"-8".
• If you notice someone nearby who is particularly animated when speaking, then I'd aim for the centre of the table.

This answer assumes the table in question is a dining table. Coffee tables are a whole different kettle of fish; and don't even get me started on side tables, bureaus and credenzas!

This isn't an article. It's an ad.

THIS. IS. ALABAMA.

Big W, take your books off the shelves if you feel that's the right thing to do, however, you have negotiated with terrorists. These fuckers now know that by abusing staff at Big W stores, they can get what they want. Well done!

Unsolicited medical advice drives me nuts.

Gee. Thanks "doctor" for your advice. Obviously I'm going to listen to you after you watched a three minute YouTube video and not the doctor with six years of medical training and education!

Lol. Don't come to Australia! We dole that shit out like Oprah! "You're a cunt, and you're a cunt, and you're a cunt. Everybody's a cunt!"
