Also you only ever see the big spiders indoors when there is a storm, in the past 2 weeks I have put outside no less then 9 huntsman's, 3 that were juveniles as indicated by there smaller size and orange ish colour
They do make webs to get around and drop from heights. But not exactly to catch their prey in the usual way you would think of immediately- they don't wait for it to get caught in their Web
You think this is weird. We invented our measuring distance.. 😂 Next Door = 1-2 min Up the Road = 10-20 min Couple km = 20-30 min Not too far = 30-60 min A Decent Drive = 5 hours
There are wasps that hunt huntsman spiders, paralyse them with their sting, drag them off to a safe place and lay an egg on each one. The egg hatches into a grub that eats the paralysed spider alive, then metamorphoses into a wasp. That poor spider's only chance was not to get caught.
Love your channel, Ryan but dude, probably don't take the piss out of our engineered stone ban. It's the new asbestos, and many people who had to work with this product are suffering terribly as a result. I don't care how much benchtops cost, nobody should die while manufacturing or cutting these things.
You ever worked with Cement render products? The polymers they use are actual poison. The Australian building industry just uses so many different chemicals to lower production costs and it's actually gonna kill alot of us before our time.
The silicosis is as bad as asbestosis, it's from breathing in the particles when cutting it and whatever when installing it. You won't get sick just having it in your house though, like if it's already there I don't think you have to remove it right away or anything, or I could be wrong, often am.❤
I love self serve checkouts but I’m an introvert who has to deal with people all day at work so if I can avoid it at the shops it’s a bit YES from me. The guy who scanned in the trolley is wrong because everything needs to be put on the scale so it can be weighed and verified as the product being purchased.
My local pizza place (not Dominos, yuk) has following sizes, Regular, 9", Large, 12", Family, 15", Party, 18". Don't ask why we still measure stuff in inches in this country, we just do. Pizzas, car tyres, computer and tv screens.
And height too. Maybe younger people describe their height in metric, but I always think about height in feet and inches despite only ever being taught the metric system in school.
When I came to Australia permanently in 1989 I was worried about nasties lurking everywhere. I now live well outside the big cities and have discovered that the horror of the lurking nasties is a nice horror story, but a myth.

Hi Ryan, the issue with the engineered stone benchtops (that's what we call counters) is not that having them in your kitchen gives you silicosis bit that the workers who cut them can get silicosis. No need to rip out ones that have already been installed (in fact, I imagine that might even release more particles that could cause silicosis). The big arsed spider you couldn't remember is the huntsman. I was curious about the 5 continents 1 car 1 driver thing so I looked it up. The North America map is totally screwed up as well: Los Angeles and Seattle are east of Chicago and Key West is on the west coast (I guess he thought if west is in the name, it must be on the west coast). With navigation knowledge like this, I wonder how far he got? The reason you get more intense UV closer to the equator is not really because you are closer to the sun, but that the radiation is almost perpendicular to the ground and therefore the energy per square m (or yard) is higher than at latitudes far from the equator, where the radiation is moe oblique to the ground and therefore there is less energy per square m.

Hi Ryan..regarding the clip of the huntsman VS the wasp..huntsman spiders do not weave or live in webs..u often find them behind mirrors or paintings etc on ur walls or up in the corners of ur ceiling where they often don't seem to move from their spot for several days sometimes...

You don’t have to throw out the engineered stone bench tops, the problem is the lack of breathing protection whilst cutting the material. As inhaling the Silica dust could give silicosis the same sort of thing as breathing in concrete impregnated material especially with dry diamond cutting blades more so than wet cut diamond blades without proper breathing protection, the material poses no risk risk otherwise
Ryan, the stone cutting dust that the workers are inhaling is the health issue, not once you have a finished product.❤ also, huntsman spiders are mates, our best pest repellent, they don't bother you.
@facetubetwit1444 hahahaha not a fan of spiders. I get it, but harmless mostly, not venomous in general to us. But they do eat all the other ones like white tails and redbacks which seriously can harm us and in particular children, as well as all the annoying insects like louie the fly. They are big and move like lightning, so I get it, but still, they're protecting you more often than not.
That’s why I like to shop online, don’t have walk around selecting food items, go through the self checkouts but then you get it delivered to your door. Too easy!
FYI Ryan, granite worktops/benchtops contain silica so they are also dangerous for the workers cutting the benches: Crystalline silica commonly occurs in nature as the mineral quartz, and is found in granite, sandstone, quartzite, various other rocks, and sand. Workers who inhale very small crystalline silica particles are at risk for silicosis - an incurable, progressively disabling and sometimes fatal lung disease.
About the "Power of the sun". Does anyone still remember the fearmongering about holes in the o-zone layer in the early 2000's? Yeah well, there may not be full-on "Holes" but some of the thinnest parts of the ozone are above Australia. Even if the temperature may not be the hottest, we have over triple the Ultra-violet radiation making it to the ground in some area's of Australia compared to other places in the world. This means that you can get peeling skin (Severaly "sunburned") through solid cloud cover after only an hour or so on particularly bad days if you don't use sunscreen
"The elliptical orbit of the Earth places the Southern Hemisphere closer to the sun during its summer months than the Northern Hemisphere during its summer. This means that the summer sun in Australia is 7 to 10 percent stronger than similar latitudes in the Northern Hemisphere."
@@TheDeldaisy No, the semi-major and semi-major axes of Earth's orbit are 1.0167 and 0.98239 AU, so it's ,more like 3.3% closer. Then we have the thinner ozon layer over Antarctica, but not really reaching Australia so that should have a little effect. It's just that Australia is very sunny, and the Sun is often very high in the sky with much more light reaching the ground (and people). Compare this to say scandinavia, with the sun never above 60 degrees above the Horizon (sun having to travel through more air, more sunlight absorbed, and spread over a larger surface area with less warming.. that's why we have seasons)
The amount of complaints about Woolies/Coles on the subreddit is actually very surprising to me - never heard any complaints about self checkouts or anything like that on the ground (at least in Sydney)!
Same here. I use self-serve checkouts most of the time and have had no issues nor seen any issues, and the staff are very friendly and helpful and ready to assist if there is a problem. If I'm tired or have many items, I may decide to use the staffed checkouts. The thing is, the stores provide numerous other options for the convenience of customers as well, such as online click-and-collect where they can either drive themselves or have a delivery service provider drive to the collect and collect drive-thru bays to collect the packed items. Having choices is good for the customer. But this is subreddit after all, so I always expect to see a small minority of whiners purportedly speaking for and on behalf of everybody else.
Here's the proof Ryan... Domino’s Pizza sizes in Australia range from: MINI - 17 cm (7 inch) (4 slices) LARGE - 25 cm (10 inch)(8 slices) EXTRA LARGE - 32 cm (12.5 inch)(8 slices)
I seem to remember that back when I worked in a pizza place (which was in the early Eighties, before the franchises ate small business alive), a small pizza was ten inches, a medium was twelve inches, and a large was fourteen or fifteen inches. We piled on the toppings. too.

Engineered stone bench tops - *you* won't die, but the poor guy cutting and installing them might. The problem is the dust that is kicked up, it is so fine and it coats the lungs and can cause problems. I believe it is actually so fine you need to wear special respirators, not just a run-of-the-mill dust mark.
Domino's pizzas are crap in general. Never mind the size 😅 And it's s not home-owners who'll get silicosis from engineered stone benchtops; it's the workers who cut it. It's an occupational health and safety issue. As for that map of Australia, WTF?!
Aww poor Huntsman. They're harmless, and really useful to have around your property as they tend to eat other spiders as well as insects. Plus their all furry looking and very sweet as long as you don't try and poke and bother them. We had a couple living inside for a while last year. :)
In regards to the pizza sizing for the 2 main pizza companies here (Dominoes & Pizza Hut) they don't do anything size wise bigger than what would be equal to a large dinner, with Dominoes having the smaller sized pizzas as shown in the picture. If you want anything larger or what would be classed here as "family" size, you need to go through either the family run/owned pizzerias or the independent franchise stores.
The pizza’s shrinking is a real thing! Especially in mainstream restaurants! The only way to get a real size pizza is through a specialty restaurant or even some of the excellent wood fired street vendors! Or the local old school pizza and rib restaurant! Mmm rib’s! Even maccas Big Mac is now like a 1/3 of what it used to be! They used to be thicker patties and larger diameter now they are small like a junior cheese burger used to be! Not that I eat that junk anymore anyway!
We don't have "extra large" pizzas here. That pic was a medium size, unless that guy had huge hands. Then next up is large (8 slices) then family size is usually the largest (16 slices). Our toppings are usually more, with less cheese than US pizzas. More bang for your buck. Don't go by Domino's frizbees.
We do have extra large here in Australia Australia but it's not available in all pizza stores and then you usually have to ask for it specifically, then they are probably twice the size of the one shown in the photo
Australia stopped making $1 notes in the 1990's and changed to coins. Need I say we weren't happy about it at the time, who wants to carry around more coins. Since then the $2 notes have turned into coins too.
I know our pizzas aren’t huge but that person must either have big hands or his local pizza shop is diddling him. I have reasonably large hands and don’t cover that much of an extra large pizza.
The Big Mac isn't really that big - but that was a good pic of one lol and you can find the pizza sizes on their websites - they have now come out with even bigger ones I think.... well some companies have
They ditched almost all pizza sizes here and started calling all pizzas "large pizzas". We used to have small, medium large and extra large in the 90s.
I don't know if you were joking, Ryan... so to be clear, we don't need to rip out our engineered stone benchtops - we just can't buy them any more (from 1 July 2024)
Ryan this IS an extra-large pizza here in Australia. The truth is all pizzas are extra-large. It's not their size but it is the size they make you that counts.
People are getting bigger, but pizzas are getting smaller. Therefore 2 x Dominos pizzas + 1.25L coke increasingly a starvation diet. But we're all in it together, somehow...
Pizza prices are way up n their sizes are definitely smaller than usual recently. Higher food prices during what has been a historic period of inflation has led to restaurants shrinking the portion sizes on some menu items in a bid to ease the financial pressure on franchisees apparently
the problem with the stone counters is the risk to workers in the factories where it is manufactured and cut as the dust coats the lungs and causes silicosis that is on par with asbestosis. Having the counters in the home is not a problem. About the huntsman and the hornet, I saw a hornet flying along holding a stunned huntsman once but it couldn't get far off the ground because of the weight. It was comical to see.
Yep..he was making a "Ryan Wuzer" react to UK video a ouple of hours later. Probably did "Ryan Wass" react to Germany after that. Don't be fooled that Australia is 'special' to him.
Ryan, wasps paralyse huntsmans, snip off all their legs, then lay their eggs in (what remains of) their still-living corpse. You can guess what happens next. I've seen it quite a few times around my place. I've never seen a huntsman best a wasp, ever, and we don't have those big creepy european wasps, either. Also, huntsmen don't make webs, although they will sometimes throw a line of webbings to get from one point to another (I had one do that in my car).
The wasp .I have seen them take down a Huntsman. And they don't actually kill them just paralyze them & you can hear them chopping off the spiders legs from 4 or 5 ft away. then they put them in a safe place usually behing a piece of bark on a tree & then lay an egg inside the spider. Nature is cruel but awsome at the same time.
The pizza sizes are generally shithouse, unless you go to New York slice or a specialty pizza place. Silicosis is only a worry if you are cutting the bench tops ie for the people that have inhaled the particulates, it’s like asbestosis, no cure, pretty nasty. I don’t know what the safety standards were before, but not enough as people are dying from silicosis.
It's not so much the equator that's behind how easy it is to get sun burnt here but rather the hole in the ozone layer over Australia, I've heard it's even worse in New Zealand
The danger is in the process of cutting the stone to make the bench top, it releases silicon particles into the air n that is breathed in by the person cutting it n it gets into the lungs etc n eventually kills you.
Pizza sizes vary from different companies there is mini small large very large extra large king sizes and the big daddy of them all New Yorker. P.s. when you coming out for a visit with the family the kids will love it. We are a very friendly lot out here.
My husband and I stand in a long queue to wait to be served we won't use self checkouts and no we don't and won't tip. We are cheap arses no it's just not Australian unless we choose to we are tight arse. 😂
I'm not going to contribute to people losing their jobs by using self checkouts and I refused to use ATMs until the banks started charging for over the couinter withdrawals.
People don’t understand Aussie weather because they don’t appreciate the scale of the place. For instance, would it be possible to have snow in New York yet a heatwave in Phoenix? Or snow in Moscow but hot sun on the French Riviera? Same sizes. Almost. Australia is bigger.
Hey Ryan, love ur show, u crack me up (make me laugh 😂).. i' m from Tassie Australia and I'm telling u Domino's have the smallest pizza's ever, ridiculous but we have "Herb's Pizza" here which is phenomenal, u get what u pay for!
What you said about manufactured stone benchtops is plain wrong. Once the product is installed there is no risk - it is the silica dust that is the problem, to people who work with the stuff, grinding and polishing it.

Yeah well, there may not be full-on "Holes" but some of the thinnest parts of the ozone are above Australia. Even if the temperature may not be the hottest, we have over triple the Ultra-violet radiation making it to the ground in some area's of Australia compared to other places in the world. This means that you can get peeling skin (Severaly "sunburned") through solid cloud cover after only an hour or so on particularly bad days if you don't use sunscreen
"The elliptical orbit of the Earth places the Southern Hemisphere closer to the sun during its summer months than the Northern Hemisphere during its summer. This means that the summer sun in Australia is 7 to 10 percent stronger than similar latitudes in the Northern Hemisphere."
@@TheDeldaisy No, the semi-major and semi-major axes of Earth's orbit are 1.0167 and 0.98239 AU, so it's ,more like 3.3% closer. Then we have the thinner ozon layer over Antarctica, but not really reaching Australia so that should have a little effect. It's just that Australia is very sunny, and the Sun is often very high in the sky with much more light reaching the ground (and people). Compare this to say scandinavia, with the sun never above 60 degrees above the Horizon (sun having to travel through more air, more sunlight absorbed, and spread over a larger surface area with less warming.. that's why we have seasons)
Ryan's look with the snake picture, if he hadn't said anything after that long confused paused and kept going that would have been comedy gold 😂
The amount of complaints about Woolies/Coles on the subreddit is actually very surprising to me - never heard any complaints about self checkouts or anything like that on the ground (at least in Sydney)!
As far as I'm concerned it's like this, if I have under 10 items I glad to have a self check out, if I have a trolley full.... I need service
Same here. I use self-serve checkouts most of the time and have had no issues nor seen any issues, and the staff are very friendly and helpful and ready to assist if there is a problem. If I'm tired or have many items, I may decide to use the staffed checkouts.
The thing is, the stores provide numerous other options for the convenience of customers as well, such as online click-and-collect where they can either drive themselves or have a delivery service provider drive to the collect and collect drive-thru bays to collect the packed items. Having choices is good for the customer.
But this is subreddit after all, so I always expect to see a small minority of whiners purportedly speaking for and on behalf of everybody else.
Here's the proof Ryan...
Domino’s Pizza sizes in Australia range from:
MINI - 17 cm (7 inch) (4 slices)
LARGE - 25 cm (10 inch)(8 slices)
EXTRA LARGE - 32 cm (12.5 inch)(8 slices)
I seem to remember that back when I worked in a pizza place (which was in the early Eighties, before the franchises ate small business alive), a small pizza was ten inches, a medium was twelve inches, and a large was fourteen or fifteen inches. We piled on the toppings. too.
Worst pizza ever, they taste like cardboard.
@@brettevill9055
Yes largest pizza boxes used to be too deep for my fridge but now fit easily.
Domino’s aren’t pizzas, you have to go to an independent pizza maker, same as the burgers, you can’t call maccas or hungry jacks burgers.
@@ianbirkinhead4103 Agreed… 👍
Hi Ryan...love your vibe
Domino's extra large pizza is like 2-3 inches larger than the large and costs about $3 more.
Mate, how ya goin'? 😄 Joel Dry reporting on a cyclone! 😁 Pizza, go to a Pizza restaurant, preferably a wood fire cooking one! 😋 Coles new rules again, employees only! Engineered stone ban, yes, its a serious lung disease! AI, almost there! I hate self checkouts, I wait for a person who says hello and smiles! Possums are so noisy, we actually dont freak out about animals, we look first! Shoddy map, but the Southern Lights are epic! Kitchen snake, not carpet snake! Yeah, we have a new "cheap" King! Huntsman, king of the spiders! Wasps are real nasty! Bugger! 😪 See ya Ryan! 🙋
Whenever a Huntsman gets in my house, I always get an initial quick shock...then just tell him to enjoy his stay, and leave him be.
@@kirk5152 Yes, me too! I sprayed one once years ago and was devastated watching its pain and anxiety!
@@jenniferharrison8915 ex girlfriend did once too, I was devastated, it will stay with me for life, even tho I didn't kill it personally, I still feel like I have blood on my hands
@@MrThomas864 👍🤗
They need to give us a staff discount if we self-checkout.
That pizza is plenty big enough. For the price you can buy more than one with different toppings
The shape is 3/4 's of Highway I around Australia. However the some of the signage of places is in the wrong place.
Huntsman spiders catch bugs in your house. I often have them in the house. They dont bother you and arent poisonous anyway.
Happy Arvo to you too Ryan: every time you greet us it makes me smile, but I guess you do know no-one in Australia says that.
Engineered stone bench tops - *you* won't die, but the poor guy cutting and installing them might. The problem is the dust that is kicked up, it is so fine and it coats the lungs and can cause problems. I believe it is actually so fine you need to wear special respirators, not just a run-of-the-mill dust mark.
5:42 Most were of me when I was 20. I have evolved.
Domino's pizzas are crap in general. Never mind the size 😅 And it's s not home-owners who'll get silicosis from engineered stone benchtops; it's the workers who cut it. It's an occupational health and safety issue. As for that map of Australia, WTF?!
That huntsman is probably average size, its just a bloody big wasp 😂
The Big Mac use to be big like in the pictures but in real life they are now tiny
Aww poor Huntsman. They're harmless, and really useful to have around your property as they tend to eat other spiders as well as insects. Plus their all furry looking and very sweet as long as you don't try and poke and bother them. We had a couple living inside for a while last year. :)
Mortein and fire.
Hey Ryan, they say that Australians get all the vitamin D they require just by walking to the mailbox and back. Thats our Aussie sun for ya 😂
In regards to the pizza sizing for the 2 main pizza companies here (Dominoes & Pizza Hut) they don't do anything size wise bigger than what would be equal to a large dinner, with Dominoes having the smaller sized pizzas as shown in the picture. If you want anything larger or what would be classed here as "family" size, you need to go through either the family run/owned pizzerias or the independent franchise stores.
The pizza’s shrinking is a real thing! Especially in mainstream restaurants! The only way to get a real size pizza is through a specialty restaurant or even some of the excellent wood fired street vendors! Or the local old school pizza and rib restaurant! Mmm rib’s! Even maccas Big Mac is now like a 1/3 of what it used to be! They used to be thicker patties and larger diameter now they are small like a junior cheese burger used to be! Not that I eat that junk anymore anyway!
We don't have "extra large" pizzas here. That pic was a medium size, unless that guy had huge hands. Then next up is large (8 slices) then family size is usually the largest (16 slices). Our toppings are usually more, with less cheese than US pizzas. More bang for your buck. Don't go by Domino's frizbees.
We do have extra large here in Australia Australia but it's not available in all pizza stores and then you usually have to ask for it specifically, then they are probably twice the size of the one shown in the photo
0:01 You bloody betcha ;)
The most Dangerous Snake in Australia is Called Dan Andrews…..😂
😅😅
Surely it's Pauline Hanson?
It's a Huntsman Spider and we don't tip anyway. Sometimes if I get great service I'll tip a redback or a pineapple.
Oh, isn’t the python gorgeous. I had one about that size in my garage.
Ryan, the only way that snake could "catch " silicosis is if he CUT the stone himself 😂😂
Australia stopped making $1 notes in the 1990's and changed to coins. Need I say we weren't happy about it at the time, who wants to carry around more coins. Since then the $2 notes have turned into coins too.
I know our pizzas aren’t huge but that person must either have big hands or his local pizza shop is diddling him. I have reasonably large hands and don’t cover that much of an extra large pizza.
The roads are melting in Australia, sure sign Santa's coming soon :)
The Big Mac isn't really that big - but that was a good pic of one lol and you can find the pizza sizes on their websites - they have now come out with even bigger ones I think.... well some companies have
1:19 Joel Snow is near enough. He can be king of the North !!!!! Can't do any worse.
Hi Ryan You would really like Australian Story on ABC TV. It's scheduled once a week on Monday evenings.
They ditched almost all pizza sizes here and started calling all pizzas "large pizzas". We used to have small, medium large and extra large in the 90s.
yes Dominos is tiny! and the double big mac from Maccas is actually small - bun size is like 15cm across
The size of a cheese burger.
I don't know if you were joking, Ryan... so to be clear, we don't need to rip out our engineered stone benchtops - we just can't buy them any more (from 1 July 2024)
Loving your Aussie accent, it sounds soo British! 😂
Ryan this IS an extra-large pizza here in Australia. The truth is all pizzas are extra-large. It's not their size but it is the size they make you that counts.
People are getting bigger, but pizzas are getting smaller. Therefore 2 x Dominos pizzas + 1.25L coke increasingly a starvation diet.
But we're all in it together, somehow...
Don't mess with wasps
Pizza prices are way up n their sizes are definitely smaller than usual recently. Higher food prices during what has been a historic period of inflation has led to restaurants shrinking the portion sizes on some menu items in a bid to ease the financial pressure on franchisees apparently
3:38 Aussies flip the bird.
the problem with the stone counters is the risk to workers in the factories where it is manufactured and cut as the dust coats the lungs and causes silicosis that is on par with asbestosis. Having the counters in the home is not a problem. About the huntsman and the hornet, I saw a hornet flying along holding a stunned huntsman once but it couldn't get far off the ground because of the weight. It was comical to see.
Hope you’re feeling better soon 😊
Yep..he was making a "Ryan Wuzer" react to UK video a ouple of hours later. Probably did "Ryan Wass" react to Germany after that. Don't be fooled that Australia is 'special' to him.
My Mum's partner has terminal silicosis from working with concrete, it really is not a joke.
So sorry to hear. I had a couple of family friends get mesothelioma and not being able to breathe is NO joke !
Ryan, wasps paralyse huntsmans, snip off all their legs, then lay their eggs in (what remains of) their still-living corpse. You can guess what happens next. I've seen it quite a few times around my place. I've never seen a huntsman best a wasp, ever, and we don't have those big creepy european wasps, either.
Also, huntsmen don't make webs, although they will sometimes throw a line of webbings to get from one point to another (I had one do that in my car).
From Casper to Lobster!!
This is common. They lay eggs in the spider.
The wasp .I have seen them take down a Huntsman. And they don't actually kill them just paralyze them & you can hear them chopping off the spiders legs from 4 or 5 ft away. then they put them in a safe place usually behing a piece of bark on a tree & then lay an egg inside the spider. Nature is cruel but awsome at the same time.
That wasp is a spider wasp..he kills the spider and leaves its larva in the spiders body until they hatch so they can feed.
No huntsmen don’t web their prey
sick again Ryan !
A large pizza is 12-13 inches.I don't eat at Dominos so no idea what measures they use.
11:35 Keep your cash mate. Pull out what you have and keep it in your pocket. It can disappear over night if it is just a figure in a computer.
The pizza sizes are generally shithouse, unless you go to New York slice or a specialty pizza place. Silicosis is only a worry if you are cutting the bench tops ie for the people that have inhaled the particulates, it’s like asbestosis, no cure, pretty nasty. I don’t know what the safety standards were before, but not enough as people are dying from silicosis.
no that's a double Big Mac for summer
Huntsman's might look fierce but they're harmless. They mainly hunt other spiders.
It's not so much the equator that's behind how easy it is to get sun burnt here but rather the hole in the ozone layer over Australia, I've heard it's even worse in New Zealand
I'm an Aussie who would consider that pizza medium-sized at best. If I ordered a large pizza and got that, I'd be very pee'd off.
We do think about what is the best for you to eat that is usually for 1 person
The danger is in the process of cutting the stone to make the bench top, it releases silicon particles into the air n that is breathed in by the person cutting it n it gets into the lungs etc n eventually kills you.
Pizza sizes vary from different companies there is mini small large very large extra large king sizes and the big daddy of them all New Yorker. P.s. when you coming out for a visit with the family the kids will love it. We are a very friendly lot out here.
Won’t be Dry for long!!!
We don't do psycho sized pizza. We went to the USA and got a slice of pizza fed all 3 of us.
Aussies usually only get pizza from local stores, franchise and chain stores are rip offs.
My husband and I stand in a long queue to wait to be served we won't use self checkouts and no we don't and won't tip. We are cheap arses no it's just not Australian unless we choose to we are tight arse. 😂
I'm not going to contribute to people losing their jobs by using self checkouts and I refused to use ATMs until the banks started charging for over the couinter withdrawals.
People don’t understand Aussie weather because they don’t appreciate the scale of the place.
For instance, would it be possible to have snow in New York yet a heatwave in Phoenix?
Or snow in Moscow but hot sun on the French Riviera?
Same sizes. Almost. Australia is bigger.
Hey Ryan, love ur show, u crack me up (make me laugh 😂).. i' m from Tassie Australia and I'm telling u Domino's have the smallest pizza's ever, ridiculous but we have "Herb's Pizza" here which is phenomenal, u get what u pay for!
Perhaps the fact that we have stacks of topping on our pizza makes a difference.
Yes! It is so yummy.
That was a Cat 2 cyclone that we went through
What you said about manufactured stone benchtops is plain wrong. Once the product is installed there is no risk - it is the silica dust that is the problem, to people who work with the stuff, grinding and polishing it.
