I had an 1963 XM Falcon until about 18 months ago. Sold it off because
I had 4 other cars and we're downsizing radically. I do miss it
sometimes, but for daily driving you can't beat a modern car.

You do get dishonest people, of course. And I have to admit certain
Asian nationalities are much more inclined to do dodgy things compared
to others. I'm talking about Vietnamese and mainland Chinese in
particular here.

Horse meat was the original choice for Sauerbraten if I'm not
mistaken.
 
I won't eat anything that is purely a carnivore... meaning cats and

I'm not sure of the time, but Holden Monaro became the Pontiac GTO.

I had it a couple of times years ago. It is mild flavored and not fishy
tasting. Sort of like a lot of cod like fish.

It's common in the Netherlands and in Japanese restaurants worldwide
(unagi). Very good.

I never drive very far, so my old ute's good enough.

Yes, that was some time in the mid to late 2000s.
 
The Australian car Industry is dead now. First Chrysler/Mitsubishi
went (long ago now), then GM/Holden and finally Ford. They kept
building poor quality large cars most people didn't want and couldn't
compete with labour costs in Asia. The writing was on the wall for
decades and they just didn't do anything about it.

Nobody can compete with cheap labor. You can't treat an Australian or
European or American worker the way Asian workers are treated.

Don't be such a fucking idiot; your own post requotes what you
originally said, and so does this one. See above.

Offhand, I'd say minimizing the possibility of eating a giant spider would be a good reason to avoid going to Thailand. OTOH, one day I could find myself in Thailand sitting before a giant fried spider. What will I do? Your guess is as good as mine.

Calamari fritti was what you expected. That second word proved to be
vital.

Dude, that was 200 years ago. Let's have a current example, ok?

Just like here. Chili con carne is equally well-known, commonly
eaten and popular in the UK. So common that it's sold ready made in any
UK supermarket and on the menu in many cafes, about as rare and unheard
of as hot dogs and Big Macs.

Because it's so nice out after a long winter.
 
I'm a few weeks away from early spring yard work; there's still
ice on the lawn here. If I get a nice day, though, I'll go
out and do some pruning.

It was presumptuous of me to say Panasonic - that was just a slip of my
tongue. I associate the brand with microwave oven technology.
 
As it goes, I was not aware of this type of microwave oven. The problem with
microwaves is that they travel in straight lines and getting them to move
about evenly in a oven has always been a problem. The highly directional
nature of microwave propagation is what makes radar technology possible but
it's not so good in microwave ovens. Anyway, I will research this, thanks.

Please report back:) Just so you know, it works fine but the bottom of the
dish sometimes gets hot. Is that the food or the bottom of the dish?
