Well there you go. We also have Woolworths, Target, and Kmart still more or less thriving (certainly more than their northern brethren)

No, and it took years for the index to make it down officially too. One of the reasons I remember hearing was that for any warranty or repairs the detective unit would've had to have been shipped all the way to the US and back again which can easily be some $100 in postage for the round trip.

Eventually it became available thru EB Games (think Aus Gamestop) who I imagine can act as a intermediary and send units up in batches rather than one at a time

Here's that video btw.

TL:DW Even in the US with its 120V electrical system the kettle is faster than gas or electric stove kettle (he didn't test microwave) but most people just don't drink tea often enough to warrant a separate appliance for it.

Wasn't there something like this already? Swear I read couple months ago something about a police force buying data off data brokers to get around protections in place.

...there's also an option to make All exclude communities you're subbed to

Damn, today I learnt. I've been using it for several months now and apparently never had a good look through the settings. That's awesome.
