Cool change heading Adelaide’s direction 😎

@@aileenbell2248 thank goodness

and not everyone can afford AC, so we just deal with it.

correct

I live in Montreal, Canada and a few weeks ago we had a ''cold wave'' northern vortex as it's call with temperature of -40C with wind. Yesterday we had a magnificient blizard, cold, snow and wind. I woul not trade my northern country for yours. I love, love love winter but not so much the -42 thouh. Still would not trade it..

Happy Arvo Ryan, Also Australia doesn't exist, which you already covered iirc

Can't argue with you on that 🇦🇺 👍

@@jonsant7232 Cheers Mate

Ozzy! Ozzy! Ozzy!

Nope Australia sux

@@bent444 nope, both australia is great and nope australia sux are opinions, none of them are right and none of them are wrong.

I own an older flat, never bothered getting an aircon installed and I'm not sure how I cope haha, especially when drinking in Summer. Just gotta stay hydrated with a powerful fan.

That must be hell. I have air con and I live in England lol

@@dubiouswretch thank God it's almost over aye?

We don't have a cooling system.we have portable fans only. For around 7 days of ridiculous heat a year in Victoria it's not worth the expense

@@cherylcolautti5401 I live in tropical QLD so I'm blasting it like half the year at least 😅 it's like me and jackets, I can't justify buying them when it's coldish for like a week haha

I thought it was the other way around? The cleaning vinegar from Woolies & Coles is clear but the vigenar for cooking is all coloured.

@@dubiouswretch na, the box jellyfish vinegar is a bright blue colour, which I very much doubt anyone would want on their fish & chips. Particularly around the Barrier Reef, the area's so tourist orientated that the British tourists in particular just see it as an extra service Australia's providing for tourists & use it for their fish & chips, unless doing so will turn their whole meal blue. Obviously works, cause they've been doing it for decades

@@dubiouswretch Bullshit

I only turn mine off if the outside temp drops below 20, otherwise it’s set to automatically stay at 21C all summer long. The thermostat makes sure the power is only running when the room gets too warm, then it adjusts the room temp and goes back into standby mode. The A/C manual recommended this method as the cheapest way to run it.

​@@Jeni10that's only if you have a well insulated home.

@@azzula729 My house is forty years old.

plus Aussies rarely cool the entire house, bathroom's likely going to be omitted

​@@Jeni10 Mine runs constantly regardless of the temperature. 😭

Wave Rock is near Hyden, 200km in from the Great Australian Bight.

@@cgkennedy He's talking about the cool rock that guy found, not wave rock

Is the odd bunch it's own brand? I thought it was a promotion of the homebrand stuff

yup. Crops like carrots actually have nothing to do with GMO, it relates to ensuring not a single stone, or anything that can cause the carrot to split & go 2 directions while growing, additionally, to stop splitting of the skin, they must be watered daily, for a fixed time, all of which is very wasteful just for appearance, but then on top of all of that, they still use misshapen ones in processed foods, then throw out around 40% of the total crop in addition to that, so as to ensure only the good looking carrots make it to supermarket shelves. Better just to eat the ugly ones too!

Carrots usually get chopped, sliced or grated, I really can’t see the point of only selling straight ones.

@@miniveedub peeled first though & it's easier to peel when straight, so people hand picking from shop shelves will choose the straight ones, leaving the deformed ones behind, so stores just choose to only buy the straight ones, so they can just pile fresh ones on top of the old when stock gets low & not have to worrry about some rotting due to being repeatedly left by consumers. Notice how "the odd bunch" are always in bags, never for consumer selection? At least at woolies/coles, Harris Farm does entire sections of cosmetically defective produce, with green bags to put it into, instead of white ones, so as to make checkout prices easier to do

I never peel carrots; just scrub them. There's a lot of goodness in the skin of fruit and veggies.

I'm 72 and I have never lived anywhere with A/C. I do live in Melbourne though where summer is mostly unreliable and short. If I lived in my native Qld, I think I'd need A/C. In my youth when A/C was rare, we'd head to the nearest Airconned pub or a cinema or swimming pool or a creek or the beach.

@@philippaking1732 when I lived in Brisbane we’d often have blackouts in summer when the grid was overwhelmed by everyone using fans or A/C. Like you, we’d head to the cinema at night and when it closed we’d sometimes just drive around in the car with the AC on (back when petrol wasn’t so expensive!)

​@@philippaking1732 I remember hanging out in pubs as a teenager, drinking beer as slowly as possible because I only got $10/week pocket money. Walking through the door was like walking into a different part of the world, and not only because of the cold air and cold beer.

Everyone in WA has aircon.

According to the UN, globally it's 40% of fruit & veg that's wasted 30% grains 20% meat & dairy That's waste by volume, waste by price would be very different numbers, meat & dairy would be much higher

Tell that to my knees 😂

Mate I'm as true blue as the rest of us and I can assure ya we don't have farms as big as texas itself - bigger than the biggest farm in texas yes, but not the actual state. There are localities I believe in WA which are larger though!

You can drive for days in WA and still be in WA lol

@@psychedelicprawncrumpets9479 yep! Especially when bridges are washed out with detours

​@@S3pra I thought Anna Station was slightly bigger.

@@Macmumoz Anna Creek Station has an area of 23,677km/sq, which is enormous, but the Shire of East Pilbara (Western Australia) has an area of 372,571km/sq - over ten times bigger; and that’s just one example.

Meanwhile here in the northern hemisphere we can't wait for summer 😄

How do you know this? I've emailed several time to advise of a package I sent and tracking number and received no response. It's been awaiting collection since the 11th of Feb. It's not about patience, or about mail time, its about making sure that the item was picked up before it gets sent back to me....(aus post only keeps parcels for two weeks for example). According to Australia post the package has not yet been picked up. I always receive a delivered to recipient notification when a package has been picked up. But I've only received notifications to say it's stil awaiting collection. The lack of communication has disappointed me.

🤣😂

America seems to do that whole house system (I've forgotten what it's called now), so their bathrooms would be cool too. Even with air con here, we tend to do just a couple of rooms, not every room 24/7

​@@mehere8038 It's called ducted air conditioning over here. Wish I had that!

@@mehere8038I have ducted reverse cycle air con courtesy of the previous owner, it’s in all the rooms but not the hallway or bathrooms. If I leave all the doors open it circulates into the hallway and bathrooms. Im on the east coast now but when I lived in Perth I put in ducted evaporative air con which uses a lot less power but you can only have it in places with very low humidity. A high percentage of Perth homes seem to have air conditioning but that’s not surprising, the north east suburb I lived in had a summer average in the mid thirties Celsius.

@Official_Ryanwas One of tgeajor differences between USA snd Australia is our laws. You say a lot about our gun laws but we also do not have capital punishment, we have no fault divorce and there are no penalties for extra marital romances, so privste detectives are not chasing partners trying to get photos... We also have one if the most or the most stringent WH&S im the world snd our building safety regulations are also the most stringent in the world... All of these thing have government supervisionregulating them and all work very well. Litigation is more balanced as it is done through a body which specialises inthat area, so it is fairer. These would all make interrsting topics of discussion. By the way, even though since 1970's we have no fault divorce we don't have more divorce than USA. We also have a policy since 1992 that tried to give equity to children of people in lower income groups. I have not checked in the US but I an unaware of a similar policy to try to deal with child povdrty in the USA. Also, we have a Closing the Gap 20 year program to raise education, careers and health of indigenous people in Australia...notall governments since its inceptiom in 2008 have done their best to keep it on track, and there should be more done to raise the standards. When they started msternal and infant mortality was high and the life expectancy across the board was vastly different. There should be discussion about such issues.

I'm in Sydney with no AC, rented my spare room to a guy visiting from Baltimore once and we spent Xmas sitting around shirtless cause it was so hot.

@@dubiouswretch that’s awesome! Do you know what part of Baltimore?

@Official_Ryanwas Hi Ryan,l got a message from you which you highlighted,you wanted me to contact you.. Christine 🌻

Isn’t it funny what we don’t realise other countries may see as strange. I remember catching double decker trains in Sydney decades ago and never thought it was different.

@@zombiemeg the only electric double deckers in the world
