American socket outlets only have 110 volts, that’s why it isn’t necessary to have an on and off switch. Here in Australia we have 240 volts, a lot higher and a lot deadlier. So on and off switches are a safety tool as well!

Anyone saying they have not found anyone worth voting for are probably just being lazy and not bothering to research independents and minor parties. Also remember when you vote you are not just voting for the head of the federal party. You are voting for a local memeber in your area, so you need to research their policies ect as well.

In Australia voting is a duty, like jury service. A thing that everyone has to do their share to make the system work. Compulsory voting, or rather having a very high routine turnout, turns out to make a big difference to politics. Having a well-funded campaign and well-organised volunteers is much less important when the law does your "get out the vote" effort for you. Policy gets driven a lot more towards the centre when there is no percentage in "energise the base" policies. You can't suppress the vote when everybody got to vote. And the huge overwhelming thing is that in Australia young people, poor people, and people who have to work on Tuesdays all get to vote, so policy is not directed so strongly to retired white people who own cars. Tristan, I really hope that you are still here next time we have a federal election, because I would love to see your reaction to watching how elections are conducted in Australia. We have mobile voting places that visit hospitals and nursing homes so that sick and bedridden people get to vote. Until the 1990s they used to visit prisons, too, so that prisoners could do their duty as citizens.

Compulsory voting doesn't only force the idiots to vote. It also forces the highly educated, who would rather not spend the time, to vote. It also means the messing about the US has with voter disenfranchisement is not an issue. If you want weird, I hear there's this country which forces everyone to vote on a Tuesday. Apparently this dates back to the 19th century in an attempt to allow farmers time to get to market and sell their crops on the weekend, plus ensuring they don't need to work on the Sabbath.

Electrical sockets: Australian electrical sockets are required by electrical safety standards to have a switch which isolates the active pin in the socket. There are a couple of exceptions, such as if the appliance plugged in is normally "stationary" and stays plugged there all the time (eg a ceiling light). So when junior crawls around the floor and decides to stick something in an un-used socket, he doesn't get electrocuted.

For the electrical outlets if an appliance is tripping the power then you can use the switches to determine which appliance has the fault without unplugging everything. I think we also use a higher voltage here and therefore that’s more dangerous.

Alright here are the explanations I promised last video :) 1. Mullets have never really died and they are really popular with bogans and people who want attention, although here are mixed opinions on them (personally I don’t really like them) 2. Shoeys are actually really popular now but not so much before. I believe that Daniel Ricciardo brought it back when he won Formula 1 races and he poured the champagne into his racing shoes and drank it on the podium. 3. Footy can be all of them like you said and I don’t really know why there’s a difference, it I call AFL footy (Sorry) 4. I have no clue for this one (as you mentioned there’s a law but I don’t do either so sorry again 5. The Melbourne Cup is a big event (but only Victoria has a public holiday [and the Monday off could be a long weekend and also he Friday off is private schools]) and there are different views about the Melbourne Cup, e.g. the abuse of horses etc. 6. An unknown fact about the switches - even if you turn the power off on the appliance, the socket still leaks electricity, so that’s why we turn it off (also to save electricity) 7. That’s right voting is an obligation of being an Australian citizen (if you’re 18 or older) and also if you’re talking about idiots voting I think you guys would have a bigger number because of the population so that skews the votes more than ours (also see Sian660’s comment he explained it better than me 8. Working at Maccas is very common for people’s first jobs in Australia - and yeah it is good to have experience like that at that age. Another common job is working at woolies or Coles at that age. 9. You can get aioli pretty commonly but it’s mostly for fish and chips etc. it’s not as common as you think 10. It’s just our culture accepts that more than you Americans but then again for more fancy dos then there is that usually (or you need dress-casual or better). 11. Bonus 1. Yeah those stickers are annoying but from my experience woolies does that more than Coles 12. Bonus 2.

@@TristanKuhn another thing about the Specials labelling. The two different tags are for a reason. First is a genuine special - a price reduction for a short period of time. Second one is to show you what a price used to be and that they have now permanently reduced that price. Another thing about labelling that I don't know if they do in the US is they legally have to show you the cost per unit of measurement. For example, if a 400g had of coffee is on sale there will be a cost per 100g in small print. That way you can easily compare to other sizes and brands. It's a great feature that takes the guesswork out of working out if something is genuinely a bargain. Love your videos.

There is a common misconception regarding voting in Australia.....voting is not compulsory, attending a polling booth is compulsory. Once you have had your name crossed off and gone to the booth you can do what you like with the ballot paper. Actually cast a vote or just leave it blank and put it in the ballot box. I find the weirdest thing is that if you do want to vote then you have to cast a preference, which in some electorates means that you are voting for a candidate that you don't want.

Also with the voting being compulsory there is this thing I think it’s called a donkeys vote I’ve never done it personally. So basically since in Australia you have to vote some people still don’t want to but they also don’t want to get fined. So they go to the voting polling place and get there named checked off, so like they tell the person there name and then the government gets notified that they voted. Then after that they get the voting slip paper thing (forgot what it’s called) but instead out actually voting they scribble all over the paper or write cuss words on them. Since there name was ticked off so the government thinks they voted and nobody has any illegal right to ask to see your voting paper nobody would ever know you sent in an invalid voting slip. So basically you get out of voting and don’t get fined.

I have a few cautionary tales of why helmets are a good thing and should be mandatory everywhere. I know of a woman who fell off a bike overseas while not doing anything that crazy at all and hit her head. Middle-aged woman. Not doing anything dangerous. If she wasn't wearing a helmet, she would've died. No doubt about it. Her helmet took the brunt of the force. As it was, she had a serious brain injury and was given a low survival chance. I knew her daughter from work. She was in her early 20s like me. Her father had also just died of cancer. She had pretty bad mental health because of it. She had to frantically arrange to fly over there to see her mother and didn't know whether she'd survive the time it took to get over there. After her mother was able to be airlifted back to Australia and woke up, she had to undergo extensive rehabilitation as she'd forgotten how to do basic things. She couldn't talk or do basic motor exercises we take for granted. It took years for her to recover, and I'd say she still has some challenges today. My colleague was basically like a carer for her for ages. But, she survived, and as far as I know, she is happy and living her life now pretty much normally. And my friend wasn't parentless in her early 20s. Someone in a lesser accident could've ended up with same injuries as her if they weren't wearing a helmet. If this happened to, say, an American, they would end up with at least a million in medical debt. Probably more. Not really work the cost of a helmet. I know another girl who was the daughter of this pastor whose church we used to go to. She was in a bad car accident. Got an even more extreme brain injury. I'd known her for years growing up. She was a young adult, smart, pretty, very passionate and was heading to university. Basically, would've had a great career and a normal life. I looked up to her a bit as I was just a kid. All that happened was she was driving around a roundabout in the rain, lost control, and hit a pole. But her injuries were as bad as it can get. She was supposed to die. Her survival came with a very high cost, because of the brain injury. She was a completely different person. Still sweet, and caring and thankfully seemed somewhat happy. But she would never be able to live a normal life. And her disabilities were truly awful. For instance, the part of her brain responsible for memories was damaged. Unlike in Hollywood shows and movies, when that part of your brain is injured... You don't lose just a year or two. You lose basically everything. Your long-term AND your short-term memory is destroyed. So she couldn't remember her childhood. She couldn't remember her best friends (in a strange twist my brother and I were some of only a small number of people she remembered). She lost the entire life she'd had. But she also lost most of her short-term memory too. So, she couldn't remember what happened the day before or anything she'd been told really. She basically went through every day with no idea what was happening or happened. She had to be reminded again and again what was happening and who anyone was. It sounds like a nightmare. Her speech was also affected so her speech was laborious. She struggled to pronounce words and struggled I think to articulate her thoughts too. I'm pretty sure her physical movements were affected too, like she'd had a stroke. Everything was hard. And I think intellectually she was probably affected too. She was like a child almost. There are probably more. But I was a kid, so I didn't get the details. I couldn't say how she's going now, as her family shortly after moved away. They went back to where she grew up, so they could hopefully help her form some new memories there or remember her childhood. But I can bet she still has serious disabilities. The parents went from having this perfect daughter, to a daughter who has so many hurdles to overcome every single day. And some truly horrible disabilities. Basically, brain injuries are no joke. If they don't kill you, they can leave you with some of the most debilitating and cruel disabilities imaginable. Like not getting to remember your own life, and family, and friends. Nothing. Wearing helmets therefore is so darn important. And I think any country that doesn't legalise it is doing their people a disservice. Helmets save lives, as they did my friend's mother. And they save people from the sort of horrible lifelong disabilities I saw first hand from that car accident.

Turning the power off at the power point actually saves you electricity and money. I’m not a sparky so I’m not sure how to explain simply but it has something to do with the current of electricity still being pumped threw the appliance even when it is off. If you turn off the power at the wall power point (socket I think you called it) then you save electricity, power and money by that electricity not going threw the appliance

The advantage is you don't have to keep plugging and unplugging the cord, while you have things like television that even when you turn it off it still uses some electricity. Also they are actually used mainly for plugging and unplugging switches. Before you plug or unplug something you always check to make sure the switch is off. This is to help prevent electrocution as it cuts of power to the socket.

How many kids in America die in accidents relating to power points vs Australia? Also fun fact, it also helps save money on your power bill when you switch them off at the power point, for example a TV that is in standby (because they aren't technically switched off at all) still uses power. Considering the cost of living here vs other places, it's pretty big brain when you think about it.

The dividing line between Football And Rugby League was, historically NSW/Queensland for league, Football for the rest, though Football has started to make inroads into the Rugby heartlands in recent years, starting with Sydney Swans in 1982, then Brisbane Bears in 1987. The Bears merged with a failing Victorian team, the Fitzroy Lions, to become the Brisbane Lions (officially, the Brisbane Bears Fitzroy Football Club, or BBFFC). 2 further expansion teams in the Rugby zone were Gold Coast Suns (2011) and the Greater Western Sydney (GWS) Giants (2011). Similarly, there was expansion into historically Football states in parallel, with West Coast Eagles starting in Perth WA in 1987, and the formerly Victorian Football League became the Australian Football League in 1990. Further expansion in Football states happened within the next decade, with Adelaide Crows (1991), Fremantle Dockers (1995) and Port Adelaide Power (1997) being added. Now each state has a local league, which functions similar to the Baseball Minor Leagues as feeders into the major league teams.

Only ones im bothered to answer 3) The meaning of footy is purely which state you're from. NSW, QLD and ACT will use it to imply rugby league, VIC, NT, SA, WA and TAS for AFL. Kinda divided like the northern two thirds of the eastern coast and southern and western sides. 5) Melbourne cup is only really big in Melbourne/victoria. 7) You make everyone vote, you make everyone take some minor interest at least. If you have optional voting, only those who are most passionate will vote. The disinterest will ignore it. Mandatory will ensure people take some kind of interest and do some research are the very minimum, online or from people around them. 11) Those stickers mean two things price chop and sale. The sale is a temporary price. Price chop would imply a permanent price reduction. The regular shelving ticket is adjusted to match the red ticket to ensure the price is correct if that ticket is removed at a later date. When the red tickets are added, new shelf tickets are reprinted. 12) Never heard of safety have you?
@bfc9467
4 жыл бұрын
12) is really about freedom and that you should have freedom to do what you want as long as it doesn't harm others. Some may view mandatory helmet at the government infringing on freedoms because they think they know what is best for the individual. Bike helmets only protect the bike rider from harm so at first you may think that not wearing a helmet doesn't harm anyone. I'd tend to disagree with that sentiment though. In a country with universal healthcare we don't want idiots who won't wear a helmet wasting taxpayers money with avoidable injuries or wasting paramedics time. But then, should every dangerous act be outlawed? Of course not. I prefer to live in a country where wearing a helmet is the law, I feel like it sets a precedent. But "ever heard of safety" isn't an explanation to why it should be the law. I don't think it's outrageous to think it's a silly law, I know many Australians who don't always wear a helmet.

there are a lot of appliances that do not isolate the power by turning it off. the power still runs through the appliance transformer and although not in use there is a residual current flowing that is not being used . the transformer is in effect still active and will stay warm . it may or may not be a fire risk depending on the appliance . the safest option is to turn off the power at the switch. In early days some electric blankets accidently left on have caused fires . Tv sets also have voltage transformers that would be left active. Another feature is the voltage here is a high 240 v. in contrast to the US where it is 110v. Any faulty appliance with 240 volts running loose would be fatal. In the US this is not such an issue , although dont go touching 110 volts either. I suspect its an insurance requirement as well.

The reason for the price drop tickets on everything is because Coles and woolies had a price war about 10 years ago and marketed their main products at competitively reduced prices. Then it became a competition to see how long they could keep them that low. Now they have to keep them that low for good. Though they still remove tickets from random products over time when people don't notice. (I'm an ex employee who was in charge of this process haha.)

With the voting thing, it’s really about a difference in perception. In America, voting is a right (mostly, there’s unfortunately a lot of voter suppression that still happens). You can choose to use that right if you wish. But here, voting is seen more as a civic duty- like paying taxes, following the law etc. It’s a difference of perception. And technically voting isn’t mandatory, having your name marked off on the roll is what is mandatory. You could get your name marked off and donkey vote (draw something or just not fill it in), that’s perfectly legal. Also, they’re really easy when it comes to waiving the fine. Like, if you get a fine for not voting, you can write back to them and tell them you crashed your car on the way, or sprained your ankle, or you were sick that day, and they’ll waive the fine for you. The benefit to having this system is that voting has to be easy for everyone. No huge lines, mail in voting, pre voting that’s open for like 3 or 4 weeks before Election Day, plus they send poll workers to hospitals and nursing homes to collect votes from the people there. There’s no voter suppression here, because there’s no point. So no shenanigans like declaring an entire reservation of Indigenous people unable to vote (they did this in 2018, it’s pretty awful), or closing all bar one poll place for an entire city (did this in the Kansas primaries this year), or somehow having fewer voting location in areas where your opponents are likely to win, or having those poll places with fewer machines (voting machines are also weird and not great), or machines that don’t work for some reason (that reason being its a working class black area, and they aren’t likely to vote for you). We don’t have issues like that here. Also, elections are ALWAYS on a Saturday, and if you do have to work, and didn’t manage to vote already, your employer MUST give you time to go vote, and you still get paid for that time. Unlike in the US, where most people have to work and can’t afford to take an entire day off to vote (especially considering the lines can be hours long). Oh, also, most polling places are at schools, and they will put on some food to sell to voters. We have a tradition called the Democracy Sausage. Because schools often put on a sausage sizzle. It’s tradition to get one when you vote. They can also sell soft drinks, or have bake sales, and one I went to had a whole secondhand clothing and shoes and bags stall. So it’s easy to vote, it’s quick, AND you get food. I definitely prefer Australian voting!

Rat tails isnt a single standed many different types of rat tails. Some actually look clean and tight but theyre always on a young lad and a lot of young lads fail at attempting clean and tight and its noticable. Rat tales more common across the entire back but can be central and singular. Rat tales can be thin. Rat tales can be thick. If they have thick rat tails and the rest is due for a cut or buzz and the plaits arent done up as usual it will look like those two guys in the mullet example. Both are due for a trim soon and the back is long, puffy and curly because rat tails are normal regular kept in plaits so when not plaited and down it does that. Its due for a trim and thick rat tails its generally an indication of a regular kept home job. Half the country is lower class many people here had no hair cut impacted by covid. Even when I had a lot more regular money after a couple hair dressers trips that cost about $300 each sitting I figured it was best to just do it myself it wasnt anything complex or specialized so why bother forking overpriced hundreds regularly. Ive been cutting my own hair since for about a decade. I do a pretty decent job now that people are shocked or amazed with I mention I cut my own and ive had a number of women ask me to cut their hair but I always refuse because ive never cut someone elses hair which is a completely different angle to do and I dont want to risk screwing up their hair they have to live with till it grows back out to cut it again. Many professional looking hair cuts for women anyway can be far more simpler and quick to achieve than it actually looks.

Things can still draw power when switched off at the device. Our power comes largely from coal (which is stupid) and we are environmentally conscious, so we often switch of the electricity off at the socket for that reason. Also, in the context of your election that's going on at the moment, another upside to our system requiring everyone to vote is that our infrastructure can actually handle 100% of our adult population voting efficiently, and there is no such thing as interfering with people by persuading them not to vote.
