ive translated what Dr Satan is saying in house of 1000 corpses

he's speaking nonsense/cryptic German the syntax is incorrect almost intentionally because it would hard for even a non native German speaker to get it this wrong

but translated into the assumed correct syntax he is saying

"don't worry your friend is in the good care/service of the doctor"

any way my friend asked me to translate it for him and naturally i looked around first and its always been a mystery so this is what i am making out at least

i need to stress though that its not clear or even sensical German its (i think) intentional gibberish

edit: another one is "he is in the good care of the doctor"

as i said its hard to explain but the german is pronounced in a goofy way and without the right syntax some words need to be added in if that makes sense

this is more or less what is likely INTENTIONED for the line

what are these and where can i buy more

found these in a really sketchy Indian/middle eastern store in Australia everything in it had a "Fell off the back of a truck" kinda vibe like individual magie noodle packed bound together in gladwrap and stuff like that

these were $3 AUD each about £1.60

ive not seen the sauces come this size here and the small bottles are usually around $6-10 depending where you get it

they definitely taste like the restaurant sauces not the supermarket kind

just wanted to say the "miss purr" thing was never real it was a trans bashing thing

It was first mentioned by a nationalist party member called Pauline Hanson, who was trying to make some kind of anti-transgender point. Then, a tabloid ran the story.

Long story short, several bodies including the Department of Education, the teachers' union, and even journalists investigated the claims and found no evidence for any of it, outside of her asking to be called "Miss PRR" because those were her initials and it was easier and faster to say than her full name.

The Department of Education took it very seriously too, originally condemning the teacher and then later supporting her, along with the school once they found no evidence of unprofessionalism.

The images circulating of the alleged teacher were also, if I remember correctly, taken out of context. They weren't her daily attire but were just part of some dress-up day event for charity.

is there some kind of program that lets UK officers Enlist into the Australian Army keeping their rank?

I was in the AUS Army for 12 years. Running into UK officers was pretty common, but I never really thought about the logistics of the whole thing.

I remember one warrant officer we asked about how he enlisted, and he was like, “I was in the British Army for 16 years, then my wife wanted us to move to Australia to be closer to her parents about three years ago, and so I enlisted into your Army.”

So that must mean he kept his rank? I’ve not heard of any kind of lateral transfer, at least from our end, but I’d be interested to know more.

what is this blue trailer with machinery in it found deep in the woods

I have to explain the area a bit.

It's in an "exclusion zone" not for anything dramatic, but because there are a few things going on at the same time. There was a town founded on the coast in the 1850s that essentially went nowhere, and the last residents had left by the 1940s.

The area is about 1,280 acres of thick pine forest, the kind where it's dark even during the day when you walk through it. The local government heritage-listed the surviving buildings, and the surrounding waters are home to some endangered animals. Because of all this, they decided it was easier to just make it an exclusion zone

It is not illegal to enter; it's just preferred that you don't. However, they tend to turn a blind eye to locals because they were ignoring the signs any way (having accessed the land for generations) who alert authorities to campers, poachers, squatters, vandals, and other people causing damage.

Some parts of the forest are almost inaccessible. I was looking on Google Earth and noticed a clearing near the beach, so I decided to investigate it.

This is what I found. Not far to the left of Image 1 was a rotted, makeshift jetty-like structure.

i didn't mess with it too much because the trailer seems to be made of asbestos

to me it almost seems like a moonshiners contraption of some sort but there was no need for this kind of thing in Australia i wont say more than that in order to protect the area

Edit: for a better look this is the video these shots came from with the area edited out (breathing is because i cycled)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OZIIj2n2CMo

edit: its a wool cleaning machine some one answered it down below i completely forgot the jetty was where a ship used to come and collect wool

if you're broken speak the fuck up about it don't "tough it out"

For context, this is Australia, so it might work differently for you guys, but I want to scream this as loud as I can.

My foot's fucked up. Like, seriously fucked up.

I remember when it happened in 2018. I was on a pack march when I felt a pop in my foot, like cracking a finger but much more intense, followed by what felt like a red-hot knife slicing through the bottom of my foot.

I kept my mouth shut because I was already having spine and knee problems, and the guys were starting to call me soft or even accuse me of faking it. Eventually, I had to medically discharge because of those issues.

My foot was always painful, but it was a pain I could push through, so it never really felt normal again. Over the last couple of years, though, it got to the point where I couldn't really walk for long. Now it's reached the point where I can't even walk comfortably around my own house.

I finally got it looked at, and it turns out my plantar fascia completely snapped. Walking around for years on the collapsed arch has gradually pushed the fat pad that normally cushions your foot out of the way, so I'm now effectively walking directly on the bone, with little more than skin between it and the ground.

Because I was more or less being bullied at the time, I never spoke up or got a Sentinel report (injury report). That means I now have no hope in hell of convincing Veterans' Affairs that it's even remotely service-related.

I can't afford to get this fixed. It's going to cost tens of thousands of dollars in surgery, orthotics, rehabilitation, and other treatment money I simply don't have and probably never will.

Don't be stupid like I was. If you're hurting, no matter how minor it seems, speak up. Get it checked out, and make sure there's some kind of evidence that it happened.

do paramedics in the USA carry israeli bandages?

I was watching Chicago Med, and the paramedics had Israeli bandages. Is that normal in the US?

Here in Australia, I got stabbed in the forearm once, and I was able to direct passers-by into my house to grab one from my old armour carrier from when I was in the Army. Neither the paramedics nor the ER (even though it was a Level 1 trauma centre) had ever seen one.

They all thought it was the neatest bandage. The doctors were even asking me where you can buy them.

cheers

looking at uber eats but got some questions

I just want a realistic expectation of what I'm looking at.

I can only do e-bike deliveries. I have a disability that leaves me in a frustrating situation where I can't drive and can't get a motorbike licence, so I've only got one of those fat-tire e-bikes.

I'm positioned next to two major food hubs, and allegedly my suburb and the surrounding suburbs are large Uber Eats markets (I won't say where for privacy reasons).

Finding work has been hard, so I've been thinking about doing Uber Eats. However, I'm going to have to spend a couple of hundred dollars to make my bike capable of carrying an insulated delivery bag.

So anyway, my questions are:

  1. My cousin claims that if you make this your full-time job and really concentrate, you'll make $1,000 a week, or about $200 a day, fairly easily. Is that a realistic expectation?
  2. What is happening on August 4th? I heard there are changes coming. I Googled it and asked ChatGPT, and both said the minimum pay would be going up to around $36 an hour, making Australia one of the most progressive countries for this kind of work. That seems too good to be true. Is it accurate?
  3. How does the minimum pay work? For example, if the minimum is $26 an hour and, during one hour, I only receive two orders worth $10 each, does Uber make up the extra $6, or is that not how it works?

Thanks.

PSA for Christians trying to protest or street preach/convert in Australia : This is not America

Lately, I've seen a lot of shorts of police "harassing" protesting/street preaching Christians in the streets of Australian cities, usually with the uploader and the comments talking about Christian oppression or whatever.

This is not America. Our rights and freedoms are different, and according to most indexes, Australia is overall a more free country for reasons like I'm about to explain.

In Australia, freedom of religion means you're free to have and practise your religion, but other people are equally free to reject it. Your rights end where someone else's begin. You generally can't harass, intimidate, or pressure people into your religion, or use religion to interfere with their lawful choices.

Or, in short, you cannot "push" your beliefs onto other people. It doesn't matter how good your intentions are.

You are also free to believe abortion is wrong and practise that belief yourself. But that doesn't give you the right to harass or intimidate other people outside abortion clinics or try to stop them accessing a lawful medical service.

That being said, police will generally turn a blind eye if you are calmly street preaching and just giving psalms, verses, or chapters.

If you go around screaming, "You are all heathens! You are going to burn! Gay is a sin! Infidelity is a sin! (Insert religion here) is the devil!" the cops are likely going to give you a move-along order (basically, stop and go away).

I am Christian myself, and it just angers me seeing people spreading misinformation or being generally ignorant of our laws. I felt I had to speak up.

this goes for Australians too many Australians are so absorbed by American media that they think American rights and laws apply here its why we have idiot sov citizens and 1st amendment auditors quoting US laws and constitution

i need your help finding a shoe before i lose my foot

My story is kind of long, but in short, it's like this:

  1. I damaged my foot over time while serving as an operator for my country for 12 years.
  2. Any kind of corrective surgery isn't covered by my country's VA because it's been too difficult to prove the injury is service-related.
  3. I have three conditions, and they're all feeding into each other.
  4. The pain has caused me to gain a lot of weight over the years (350 lb).
  5. The only way to save my foot is to lose weight, but I can't lose weight because I can't walk on it.
  6. I've spent thousands of dollars on shoes over the past five years. I've tried every brand and every corrective shoe, including HOKA, ASICS, and others.
  7. My weight is continuing to damage my foot. If this keeps up, it will slowly become non-functional and could potentially even become necrotic.

The three issues have finally been diagnosed, and now everything makes sense, like why one shoe won't work while another won't either.

Basically, what I need is the thickest sole possible. It needs to be soft like a marshmallow, but it also needs to be wide and stable.

Something with the marshmallow-like cushioning and thick sole of a Nike ZoomX, combined with the wide, stable platform of a New Balance 9060, plus room for a plantar fasciitis insole, would be perfect.

If anyone knows of a shoe like this, please speak up. I don't care how stupid it looks. I don't care what brand it is. I don't even care if it's one of those Temu "cyberpunk" shoes.

I'm really hoping you guys can help.
