My kids watch a show called The Cuphead Show on Netflix, it's about 2 brothers with coffee cups for heads and they live in America's south. It looks like a colour version of Steamboat Mickey era cartoons with a lot of Ren and Stimpy like humour - but with a slightly less serial killer vibe. It's actually really good.

Ever played the game? Heard it's good but really difficult

I got it for The Boy and had a turn and it's actually pretty hard - like a standard SNES game difficulty.

And if it's a lie???

Life Hacks hey..

How the **** do you stop water/bubbles overflowing when you boil potatoes, pasta etc? I tried the wooden spoon thing and it does jack sheet. Anything that absolutely works 100% of the time, every time?

Paying attention.

2 fool proof ways:

1: Turn the heat down a touch so it's not such a rigorous boil.

2: A spray bottle of cold water you can spray on the foam when it begins will neutralise it.

DanWCE Volk stepping in for Oliviera in Abu Dhabi for Islam 2. Don't like Volkanovski's chances but imagine if he somehow pinches it.

Not sure more torque is needed. I can pretty reliably shear the head off shitty Bunnings screws without assistance and I have arms like wet noodles.

That seems like a lot of work. I'd prefer something that doesn't require me to have to keep an eye on it all the time...

Well number 1 will do that. Think more high simmer than rolling boil.

There will come a day where this info will help you out. And you will say quiet thanks to Dazzler9. The stupid campaigner.

I'm glad we've undertaken a thorough analysis of the situation. Carry on screwing, everyone.

I'll never doubt the man but the more I think about it the more he's stacked up against it.

Had surgery on his arm 3 months ago. Has just announced a title defense in his featherweight division for January and has now taken a fight on 11 days notice for a title shot in a higher weight class.

Last time he jumped up divisions he spent ages putting on powerful lean mass and this time he'll be going in without doing a cut. He may be exposed for size but could potentially fight with a lot of extra energy after not doing a weight cut.

There's also far less time for strategy and Volk has an incredible team to develop fight plans and he is the master executor of those, so he loses an edge here as well.

Goat status officially unlocked if he pulls this off. I'll be tuning in for sure!

Heard the news this morning? Costa out and Usman in vs Khamzat.

Think that's 3 changes to the main card so far and 2 of them to the co-main event. Bit of a shambles.

I heard Costa was out yesterday and they were scrambling for another match up. Wild scenes. Part of me wonders if it's orchestrated. I was saying for months I expected Volk to rematch the title shot in Abu Dhabi and hey well looks what's happening...

I would've preferred the original card, then Volk getting another go at Islam after a proper camp, but this will still be entertaining. More annoyed at Khamzat vs Costa, both dudes have such big mouths either one of them getting shut-up would've been great.

Just starting Band of Brothers again....good series

Forgot about the vote. Best place for a democracy sausage? Have the in-laws from USA here and want to show what real freedom looks like.

Also feel free to convince me which way to vote as I have no idea and get all my news from here anyway.

Democracy Sausage

A real-time crowd-sourced map of sausage and cake availability at Australian elections. It's practically part of the Australian Constitution. Or something. #demsausage

If you’re truly in doubt, I think canvassing the views of Peter Dutton, Pauline Hanson and Clive Palmer and then voting the opposite of them is always a good rule of thumb.

I thought getting there 10 minutes after the polls opened would see me waltz in but I had to wait in line for 15 minutes.
