I wouldn't try for ice cold until I got Perfect Games sussed. Get the pangram then, aim to get rid of tricky letters first, then leave easy three letter words to finish.

Everything turned off. I don't think it's a new follower either. As far as I can tell it's not send it to anyone else.

There's two strategies for high scores. One is a "perfect" game. Pangram first, then use up all the letters completely. That gives you X2 The next is Ice Cold, where you avoid the chilli completely which gives you x5. If you also use all the letters you get +50 first. Here's a list of bonuses

Our business page randomly messaged someone on messenger. I can't work out what has done it. I'm assuming it's some sort of ai tool? Anyone have any ideas. Makes us look weird af.

Scott Pickett is just doing crime. This is crime. Just arrest this guy for crimes. (Most of text in alt)

A company tied to top chef Scott Pickett collapsed under the weight of a $2.3 million tax debt just weeks after he closed one of his fine-dining venues.
Nord Arc Hospitality, a company set up to pay the employees working across Pickett’s restaurants, entered liquidation in mid-September.

Another five companies associated with Pickett also appointed liquidators this month as part of the celebrity chef’s restructure of his debt-stricken restaurant empire.
The move took the number of Pickett businesses in liquidation to eight.
Nord Arc Hospitality was set up in August 2025. A month later, Pickett’s other company that serviced staff wages, SP Group Services, entered administration after drowning in debts.

All staff wages and entitlements were paid up to the date of both Nord Arc and SP Group Services being wound up, according to company records.
Liquidators said in documents sent to creditors earlier this month that Nord Arc had racked up $2.8 million in debts over the 14 months since it was first established, the bulk to the ATO.
The fresh bout of collapses comes just weeks after Pickett closed Matilda on Domain Road in South Yarra, deciding it was time to exit the business, making way for Venues by Only group’s Kiki’s Tavern.

The closure of Matilda and the winding up of Nord Arc highlights the financial mire Pickett has been trying to battle through over the past year.

Last September, Pickett was forced to restructure a group of his eateries run through his Rogue Traders Group, which collapsed owing creditors $27 million.
The restaurant venues caught up in Rogue Traders’ financial strife – Smith St Bistrot, Chancery Lane, Matilda, Longrain and sister bar Longsong – all stayed open during the restructuring and continued to pay staff wages and honour gift vouchers. Other Pickett ventures, such as Estelle in Northcote and his new pub …

I haven't seen a proper gig or concert in almost five years (Orville Peck at Powerstation). There's every chance I'll be living in Melbourne again come Feb so it's perfect. But that many hours of hyperpop... I'm going to need a lot of [REDACTED]

I'm too old for laneway, but not because I don't recognise the artists, but because I don't know if I've got energy for Jane Remover, Horsegiirl, Slayyyter, Kim Petras, and Fontianes all in one day. It's a cool and fun lineup.

Surprising how many people come into our brewery and tell us they already don't want our product. Just now: "I don't really like this craft beer stuff." Walking into a bakery "actually I don't like baked goods sorry" Going to buy a telly "not super into electronics, myself".

I guess it's disappointing that the news and politicians are calling it an "ai" and not clarifying that it's directed by a person, and open ai provided the tools.

Every once in a while someone posts a normal Australian version. They freak the hell out.

A normal Australian parma. Looks pretty good. Not spectacular.

Yikes. There are many Italians in Australia. This must not be them

There are many diners that serve Chicken Parm Sandwitch with two sides, fires and coleslaw. No different.

That’s. Just. Wrong. Did you follow it up with a slice of pineapple pizza?

One thing I do reasonably often is check on the Jersey Parm facebook group. It's an alternate reality where disgusting American "parm" is good and the superior Australian version is bad. Here's the kind of shenanigans going on:

Well. Again, Chick Parm dinner at ‘Pete’s Steakhouse’ and they DID NOT disappoint!!! Don’t care who what people say about it from the photos. I can tell you this….ATE THE WHOLE DAMN THING and enjoyed every bit of it!!! Sometimes those local taverns, restaurants come through just perfectly!! 👍

Everything in focus, including the chalkboard inside. The chalkboard is generic words with no prices in classic Ai font. Tape is on outside of the window while the sign is inside. Colours are slightly too warm. Cat looks unnatural, and is it behind a door or a window? Also it has synthid watermark

Not a great movie but also it started and finished with a Jim Steinmann song and had a surprisingly interesting cast. Willem Dafoe in a leather overall, for example.

Casablanca was good. Do people know that it's a good movie? You maybe heard it here first. Watching Streets of Fire now (not rage. I meant fire). A Walter Hill joint (the Warriors, Brewster's Millions).
