the standard way voters define high earners is "anyone who earns not less than one dollar more than me."

True enough. But we voted the libs in so high income earners could continue to save wads of tax on expensive cars, right?
I should be paying more tax. People on half my income should be paying more tax, but progressively less so. People on double my income should be paying more tax, but progressively more so.
Did you see my edit? Apparently Routley's make a "Beaumont's" pie. I am yet to try this.

I should have noted my statement was more towards big business rather individual tax payers too.
Interesting, I might have to grab one on the way through town next.

they were way better ten years ago. A little disappointing going back now. Unless I just built them up too much from my memory of them.
The Jackman McRoss bakery is fantastic, though. Really nice lamb and rosemary pies. Gotta get in early though when they're fresh.

Do all of the pie companies you guys are talking about make really good party pies? Because the Pizza Hut crust has tiny party pies in it. I've never met a party pie I didn't like

Yeah I don't know anyone (or would want to) who doesn't like party pies!
Party pie mouthfeel: hmm, I just took these out of the oven, I wonder if they're cool enough to eat. *first bite* no, no they're not cool enough to eat. Probably just needs more sauce to cool it down. *second bite* oh yeah, thats better. Woah, a bit warm going down though. Hey, I can't taste anything anymore.

It's generally quite fatty meat in pies but people ignore the fact the pastry is mostly flour and butter

Too damn accurate. Or I get to them when they're stone cold. In between is darn near impossible

i dont get how you lot love vegemite but hate 4n20
Vegemite is kinda just a variation on salt. It's fairly inoffensive if you've been brought up with it and know how to apply it properly. The only proper application for the meat flavoured slurry inside Four n Twenty pies is if you're an abstract artist and you've run out of faecal matter.

Mines died last November.
I can't remember when I bought it. Maybe 2007. Either way it's the best mouse I've ever used.

That's kind of cool. Pity it's region locked. The biggest problem is still the lack of an account system.

Yup, the US PSN sale is also locked to US PS+ users too so that's 2 sales I can't get into today

Region and IP locking are the worst, along with expensive and draconian classification systems.
Unfortunately with current copyright cartels and legislation and FTAs things will only get worse for legitimate customers wanting to participate in a global economy.
Every company is guilty.
That's probably a good idea.
I'm considering heading to 24/7 Sports Bar with some people and attempting to watch the game, or maybe I'll just sit at home and study. I don't know.

Kissed a mod for a tag; liked it
This doesnt jive with me >:|
Too late she cried, the sale was only for another 6 hours. Didn't end up getting it, figure I spend little enough time at home to even play PS4 in fits and spurts, doubt I could devote much time to sitting at the PC for hours in a row. Think I'm getting Dirt Rally instead.

Someone I know in Morayfield just got an ADSL connection put in from Telstra.
They get 2-3Mb download speeds.

So, I find myself in Melbourne. I'm going to a "student services" conference tomorrow, but I'm the only person from my workplace in attendance and the program reads like a big bowl of nothing so... Let's get stinko! Holiday on the mans dime.
I found a place Bartronica a couple of hours ago. Arcade games and craft beer, exactly what I need. I had a chat to the owner and they've only been around for a few months but it's much better than what Brisbane has to offer (mana bar is a shoe box). Good pinball (Twilight Zone!), free SF2 and MK2, plenty of space. If you're in Melbourne check it out!

Christ. I managed to remove that stupidity from my memory. Now I will need thousands of dollars of therapy again. Thanks.

now i'm stalking your reddit account.
Guys I'm in the market for a good PVR.
Turns out we don't need foxtel but we DO need a thingy that let's is record FTA and watch it later.
Two requirements:
It's gotta have a nice remote. For better or for worse that Foxtel remote has nice big buttons. I have a Telstra T-Box and the remote is garbage.
It's gotta have a decent episode guide that let's me record series. The foxtel one is actually pretty good in that regard. The T-Box uses the signal from FTA for it's episode guide and it only let's me see a couple of hours ahead if at all.
Recommendations folks?

Yeah I'll be in Melbourne for a few days next week for a conf too. Any recommendations? I'll have a day to myself due to the absolute fucking stupidity of my company. Hoping Mad Max 4 is still showing at iMax!
Recent bundle deal was $549 for PS4 with The Witcher 3, Driveclub, The Last of Us HD & The Order 1886 but it's expired now I think. Damn good deal though! TW3 should still be $69 at Target btw.
Yeah even at launch it was a good deal compared to previous years. Really easy for me to jump into next gen this time, even X1 has been insanely cheap at times.
$399 from Dick Smith eBay using CPICKUP15 code. Runs out tomorrow! You get another 2% back ($8) back through Cash Rewards if you make an account.

Truth, I wish it was a true global economy for us consumers

Saw this come up on my newsfeed today: The 2015 State of Origin Drinking Game. You would get drunk unbelievably fast, that's for sure!
oh no :<
It's great value, for sure! It's a shame that I already have all of those games. You can trade in after you buy it though, right? Only reason I need a new PS4 is because my bf and I are splitting up, and he is taking the PS4 with him (I bought it for him as a gift for his 20th). I have loooots of games.

oh maaaaan, I wish I had the money to grab that deal right now!
