I'm watching the F1 on my phone and got that android alert so clicked on it straight away and managed to read about the earthquake a second or two before it actually hit here in Northcote. Wild that that's a thing

I was listening to music from it to slowly fall asleep, so it kinda shitted me off that I then got a high pitched ping and that alert, but yeah, nice that it is as my mind goes to "is it another meth lab? Is it a driver that took a turn badly and took out fence lines?" and we have had a discarded cig butt literally burn our fence down before, so I like that having an android phone can give me such alerts that it's just a ground thing or if we have a random event like a tornado touch down. Which also has happened, but it wasn't at all massive and some footy players just held a door close and waited it out.

How do people get alerts about earthquakes?

Yeah i opened the door and let my dog run out, thinking someone had broken into my shed again.

The old ciggy butt, i can't believe that every year all the authorities scratch their heads wondering why grass fires start near roadways.
One summer i got out of the car at the traffic lights and stomped out a little fire burning on the media strip, you could clearly see a black V coming from the cig butt.
 
Your wog boy and kubes got through
Tsitsipas is a bit of a bottle job, makes the easy matches much more difficult than they need to be. I can't see him doing much in this tournament but hoping he turns his form around soon.

The cig landed in where we used to keep our bins, so it was very easy to ignite it given they backed onto fencing and there was a tree and wooden shed there nearby. Flames reached high enough to singe phone lines and we got lucky the wind was blowing away from things that had fuel in them instead of towards it, still melted part of the roof of that metal shed though.

But yeah, when the FF told us that after the medics had checked us out that that was the origin point, I was filthy as;

I don't smoke.
Old man doesn't smoke.
Mother didn't smoke.
Sister that does smoke hadn't visited in a few months.
We were battling with a meth lab next door that got raided later who used to tresspass, steal stuff from us and their buyers sometimes mistook us for them and I almost scored a moped out of it for hard collection but it was DOA and soiled on closer inspection.

As a bonus, I can now generally tell if someone is off their face just by looking at them, so yay for that superpower I suppose? But yeah, sicne I got the alert with this to check gas lines and such, my heart did skip a beat since my water heating is gas and it triggered before I could check the meter or if I could smell/see any escaping gas with liquid things. Scary situation to be in, as that fence fire, easy if you know which way the wind is going to GTFO when you live near a pine tree reserve that has had flash sparking before so it's a "known" thing to have plans for, earthquake, not so much. I'm just in carer mode so make sure I am safe, old man is safe as only two occupants and then get in "open" area where things can't fall on us then GTFO as near doors if it continues from there seems the choice.

Has anyone been watching Dana White's Power Slap competition?
These guys are ******* insane.
I like the slow mo replays that show how much their faces move when they get hit.

Absolutely hate it. No ability to defend themselves, just taking straight brain trauma over and over. I can't believe a commission has signed off on it and Dana/UFC are pushing it so hard. It's actually quite sick.

I definitely get the morbid curiosity but I'll never support something like that.

Same. I'm not sure how it's allowed to be a sport

Mark McGowan is standing down to take over the reigns at the Eagles. WA the *?


Is that serious? Those blue blood liberals wouldn't want a labor guy surely?

I’m a serious man gringo.

There’s no more liberals in WA McGowan pied pipered them to the SA border and pushed them into the great Australian byte bight.

Dard Ball Get and Plugger35 can affirm though all us remainers have taken a like for the leftover strawberries and cream.
