Its Tannar. Lazarbeam's sister, really big Australian RUclipsr. I grew up in New South Wales too and we used to call a slide a 'slippery dip' so definitely regional.
Some American's do have paywave (but its called something different) and pay with google pay and applepay.
Thank you for commenting! Yep, I asked my American friends in discord this morning & they called it “tap & go” - they said they’re not keen on it, I guess it’s gradually being accepted? I was wondering about google pay & applepay, it makes sense for them to be in use in America, since they’re both products of American companies right?
I think slippery dip sounds way cooler than slide!
When I visited family in the country the mantra was "if its yellow let it mellow if its brown send it down"
Precisely! If you’re on tank water, then it becomes super important not to be wasteful!
Clothes dryers get used when you can't put the washing outside to dry on a line. When i lived in China everyone dried their washing on the balcony.
I washed my fitted sheet today and it dried in less than three hours out on the clothes line.
This time of year, most places in Australia are fine for drying clothes outside, even Tassie if you get a run of dry, not so cloudy days!
They should have dual flush toilets in Utah, Nevada and Arizona, 3 of the driest states in the US. The Hoover Dam/ Lake Mead, which supplies Las Vegas, in currently at 37%.
37%!!! Wow!! That’s really low! You would think they’d be wanting to be super cautious about water use!
I know that in some parts of California, they were encouraged to get rid of lawns outside their houses in order to not waste water on them…. I don’t think they really get it in terms of not being a water Wally!
Australian cafe culture I think is derived from Italian cafe culture but has evolved through the generations here. Don't know for sure but I can imagine that Italy/Europe are set in their traditional ways and their cafe culture has not evolved much. I could be wrong. Cheeky when you have spare moment check out Australian cafes in overseas cities eg. Los Angeles, New York, London, Paris etc. check out their menu and go to google earth have a look at each cafe from the street.
Dual flush toilets - I thought USA partly have these? They should be mandatory in the hot dry southwestern states, similar climate to us.
Crosswalk buttons - a few other countries have adopted our crosswalk button. Julian O'Shea put out a video a couple years ago Singapore took our crosswalk button to another level. I love the beeping sounds of the Hong Kong crosswalks and their escalators and moving walkways!
Ooh! These are great inspiration for future videos!! Thank you 🙏🙏
I think this is perhaps your best reaction video partly because it was a great video you were reacting to and partly because you did a great reaction. But I do disagree with that comment from an American to some extent, I have worked and travelled in the US extensively and met some great people that I am friends with and communicate with to this very day, but they are incredibly insular compared to Australians, there is no doubt about it.
Saw your short on King Island closing today, it broke my heart.
Thank you. I think that you’re right about Americans being insular compared to Australians, however I think there are some Americans who are a bit more globally aware… It’s definitely really sad that they’re closing the King Island Dairy, as a former Tasmanian, I grew up with their cheeses & cream & I honestly don’t believe there is another cream that compares to King Island Cream! Aside from that, it’s going to destroy the community on King Island!
China has tap and go but they do with their phones. They also have switches on their power points.
I guess that makes sense, China, Korea & Japan are still miles ahead of us!
Starbucks in Egypt was okay. I had an iced coffee there every day in Cairo and it was 45c and dry like Mildura mid summer. Their cake selection was good too. Tim Hortons in Canada was slightly better. Not sure about Melbourne in winter but in Sofia, Bulgaria in January with snow 1 foot / 30 cm deep, the outdoor seating is protected from the -19c cold by charcoal burners spaced around diners and plastic sheeting to keep the rain and snow out. Sort of like a plastic annex but still out in the street. Pretty sure Qld has drivers licenses available on phone apps and I always called them slippery slides. The USA is great to visit but unless you're wealthy enough to afford a gated, secured community, the rising crime rate would be a huge concern. Just watched a Filipino / American vlog on the Ryan Was channel, and he moved back to Manilla in the Philippines due to rising crime rates creeping into upper middle class suburbs of Chicago, far from the notorious south side of Chicago. If they ever fix gun laws, out of control drug use, poor public transport, such an abysmal lack of housing that a sizeable % live in trailer parks or tents, racism, and a lack of common courtesy, especially in the States furthest away from Canada, & also from entitled me, me, me & only me teens, then it might also be an okay place to live.
Some of the outdoor cafes & pubs in Tassie use those gas heaters on pillars during winter. I think I’d rather just sit inside if it was cold!
Slippery slides sounds waay more cool than just boring old “slides”! I feel like Tassie ripped me off! 😂😂
you pay a surcharge for tap and go, if you put your pin in, no surcharge, chicken salt also has msg in it, electricity in usa 110v, here in aus 240v, we pronounce addidas the same way that the germans pronounce it
I always use tap and go, but haven’t encountered surcharges. Figures that chicken salt would have msg, I guess, that’s probably why we’re all so addicted 😂. That makes sense in terms of voltage in USA meaning no need for switches, good point!
i guess it depends on which banks, one of the CEOs was grilled about it@@CheekyKoala
Oh cool! There’s so many hidden charges in everything these days! All designed to maximise profits at the cost of the “little people”!
Power in the USA is 110V but it comes in to the property as two 110V lines so their ovens run on 240V. They don't have kettles because 110V is not powerful enough for fast boiling.
Wow! I didn’t realise that their ovens ran on 240v, I just presumed that everything was on a lower voltage! Interesting!
Never paid anyone to make me a coffee and never will. This is a very dog friendly area and I'll give all the local coffee places credit for having specified dog friendly areas. My old red girl was an unclaimed and unwanted stray from the pound and absolutely loves people, hates other dogs with a passion but one out of two wasn't good enough so she was put straight in the no return cage. Got here out the day she was due for the green dream after pleading with them to hold her over, luckily they were sympathetic and held her until I got there after getting lost. Three trainers threw their arms in the air and said forget it. My orphan dingo is the only other dog she likes, became his self appointed foster mother. You take the good with the bad and live what you get from the pound. That's why they're so special.
Fun fact. The bloke who came up with chicken salt, some bloke from the Adelaide Hills named it chicken salt because he wanted to creat the perfect salt for bbq chook. And it bloody is too. And on hash browns.
Some states in US have had rego insurance and licence on their phones for a few years but not many. Only know this because I saw it on COPS a few times. Clothes driers are brilliant for getting your clothes dog hair free and to chuck your towel in while you shower in winter. Also make a good display piece with a few plants under a light fitted inside it, legal plants of course. I've heard fridges are good to grow the others in. That's what I heard someone else say of course, how would I know? Geez, nearly dobbed myself in then.
Think it's time to get a normal job with normal daytime hours and give this fishing to the tides for a living away. My work hours revolve around the tides not the time and someone keeps chucking a high tide in every early morning when sensible people are still sleeping and I'm sleeping when sensible people are working normal sensible daytime jobs. Getting too old and grumpy for this and sick bloody fish as spikes in my hands and having to put my frozen hands in warm water every 5 minutes to get some feeling back. Just bloody bloody, all I can say.
Just a bit of friendly criticism, she just looks and sounds like she's trying just a little bit too hard and not being herself. That's all.
Last point. Helmets for kids definitely. Optional for adults. Thankfully it's not enforced here and at worst they'll drive past and point then pount to their head then a thumbs up. They will nab any kid ir idiot they see without one. A lot of times they will pull over someone wearing a helmet to search. They reckon it's usually the ones with something to hide are the ones wearing helmets hoping they won't be stopped. That's this particular area anyway, probably similar elsewhere.
My kelpie x lab was a pound puppy & is one of the best dogs I’ve ever owned: super sweet, super loyal & puts up with so much crap from the cat & my chihuahua 😂😂 Question: that crouch/ bow that is such a typical kelpie behaviour before greeting other dogs, does that come from dingoes? You tend to only ever see it in dogs with Kelpie breeding, makes me wonder where it comes from….
I’d forgotten about clothes driers for removing dog hair! Maybe I should invest in one 😂😂
You can have your fishing to yourself! One thing I REALLY don’t miss about Tasmania is the cold winter mornings that were bringing out old Arthur & making my hands useless! No sign of Arthur since moving to Bendigo!
Presumably the adults out your way don’t have to contend with the maggies very often?
I know of at least one country town in Tassie where if the local cop caught any kids riding their bikes without helmets that he’d chuck the bike inside the back of his cruiser and drive it back to their house 😂
People in the UK love our chicken salt. They now can order it online . Americans think it is weird that we have switches on our power point .I prefer the sun to dry my clothes . I only use the dryer when it is raining. Thanks for this video .We invented wifi and optic fibres . The Liberal party sold the technology to USA . Instead of installing the optic fibres to the houses They didn’t do it all the way to the houses . Instead the optic fibres were joined to the existing coaxial cable that is connected to the houses . That is why our internet is slow . The USA used our technology and did it correctly , while the Liberal government took short cuts to save money and it was a disaster .
That doesn’t surprise me in the least that our government screwed up! They’re pretty good at that! That new vlog that i covered the other day with the couple who moved to Australia from Manchester have done a video where they went and tried English style fish & chips at an Australian “English fish & chips” store, they decided to try the chicken salt and decided it was better than their gravy, curry sauce or mushy peas!
I definitely prefer the sun to dry my clothes, although I’ve learned that here in Bendigo over summer that you need to get your washing in as soon as it’s dry because of how quickly things fade in the super hot super sunny weather! I have a clothes airer that I use when it’s raining, I put it above the heating vent & it dries everything so quickly!
get the story right. CSIRO licenced the technology to the USA.This was years before the NBN was even thought about.
I believe that she was referring to NBN separately to when the technology was sold to the USA. There was actually quite a lot of publicity around the time that the NBN was being rolled out about it being poorly done, so what she’s saying does in fact fit
@@CheekyKoala yes the change in the NBN from being optic fibre to being copper wire was a disgraceful decision.
@@CheekyKoala I have to look into the clothes airer . I have a clothes dryer at home .
