I'm a Linux Mint newbie, so, at most, 4 tabs opened to resolve a glitch.

Well, 4 tabs if the search engine used was DuckDuckGo...
... but, as much as I hate to admit it, only 2 or 3 tabs if Google was used to find the needed pages.

No, I'm not "new to Australia".

The point I was making is that the "duration of our showers" is comparatively insignificant compared to commercial water use and wastage.

Data centres, for AI processing, needlessly waste water resources.

Growing rice and cotton on the world's driest continent seems a bit stupid.

Screwing the geology of the Great Artesian Basin to extract gas seems short-sighted.

There are FAR more pressing concerns than how much water we individuals use while showering. (Sure, there are some small towns or shires where this is a concern.)

@wildwhitehorses

Yeah, right. Any water shortages are likely due to personal hygiene requirements of people, and nothing to do with new b.s. AI data processing centres using gigalitres to cool equipment and maintain humidity levels.

Got it.

@No1

Shhh...
If he's still here, it's just a matter of time...

Of course Kick is Australian. It is arguably INXS' best album.

Wait... what are we talking about??? (Hopefully, it's not a snuff film.)

@brisk

True. However, that's buried in the 'fine print' of the second verse, and very few people know there is a second verse, let alone the words!

@Etterra

It's slightly less ironic.

The seppos have the world famous Statue of Liberty and a plaque with the words, "Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe."

Us Aussies still haven't had the guts to dump the Union Jack from our own flag, let alone establish a bill of rights.

@ryannathans

I live in the hope of seeing an ultra-left-wing group demand that the "Greens" change their name due to it being unacceptable "botanical chlorophyllic appropriation".

@Eyekaytee

@Ixoid

A small but well-earned round of applause for correctly using "distasteful" rather than "tasteless".

Now, to be clear, if our federal politicians continue down this path towards "identity verification" in order for people to use the web, then I, for one, suggest we overthrow our government, using physical violence if necessary.

Ah, cool. So, O2 replenishment is still required. Ta!

@Tenderizer

America invade Australia?
I thought they'd already done that...
... to just about every country.
