Hah, we were actually thinking Queensland for the dinosaur museums and fossils. I love the water, but wife isn't such a big fan.

I don't use salt but rather soy sauce and/or fish sauce which is salt + umami. Smoked paprika also adds a nice smokiness if you're not using any kind of smoked chilis.

Cincy-style chili has cinnamon among other things, so that makes sense. I accidentally grabbed the wrong spice jar and dumped cinnamon directly into my non-Cincy-style chili and it still came out pretty decent.

Played Oblivion. I mostly do enjoy being outside doing house/farm work so long as the weather's nice, though.

When I can afford it in the next few years, I plan on doing solar on the house. I drive as infrequently as possible and prefer my motorbike over my car (though my car is also only 660cc engine). I grow some of my own food and plan to steadily increase that as I learn and get better at farming. I try to buy local and regional where possible. I've stopped buying beef at home and it is now a special occasion food a handful of times a year.

I'm just one dude and ultimately make little difference, but I do care.

I'm fine until some of the slang gets in there. I know some, but there's definitely more I don't and hearing it on Aussie YouTube channels sometimes has me running to google if the context alone doesn't cut it.

Unrelated, but what would be the best community to ask about tourist stuff? Wife and I would like to visit but I'd like to do some reading and maybe get some opinions if I see anything not already answered. Cheers!

I can't answer that and, here in Japan, dryers are so rare that I can't give a further-east perspective from a country that drives on the left and, at least when writing vertically, write right to left (horizontally was a mixed bag over the years but is now almost universally left-to-right). I can say that things like supermarket layouts tend to be laid out differently between right-drive and left-drive countries, though I think that effect is less pronounced in urban areas where fewer ever drive.

But that Obliterated Oliver looks so delicious as well!

Can confirm, it beats the fuck out of Tokyo 99% of the time. Edit: no dog yet, though, as we want to do some rather long traveling before we get a pet. We do have neighborhood cats and one will come chill near us (though not let us touch him).

If I had it to do over again (born/raised in the US, living in Japan), I might pick Norway or Finland over Japan, but overall I'm fairly happy where I am.

Of course honey is sugar. My point was that, regardless of the arrangement of molecules, I basically never use any sweetener

If you are open to the risk, you can start your own server that is federated with Lemmy and such where you can allow whatever you wish. There are guides to this and, supposedly (based on looking to start my own single-user mbin instance a few months ago), it's not so costly
