I've no idea whether that's something that would be totally unacceptable to Australia or not.

China is our largest trading partner and our government has made a significant effort to rebuild relations with China since the previous government trashed the relationship. I don't have a source handy, but I recall seeing a poll that found that at least a plurality of Australians would not support joining a hypothetical war against China over Taiwan, and I think that was before Trump took over again. Australian public opinion of the US is in freefall like in so many other countries, so I can't imagine support for going to war with China would have increased in the last 5 months.

I don't care for pineapple on a burger but a fried egg on a works burger is chef's kiss. The rest of the world is missing out.

We won't. Our government is still trying to pretend that everything is fine and normal in the US despite winning the recent election in a massive landslide based partially on anti-Trumpism sentiment. I'd love to see Albo prove me wrong but I'm not holding my breath.

Nah mate it's fine. Everything is totally cool and normal in the US, mate. The US is still a totally reliable ally and we're definitely going to get those submarines that we're paying billions for with no guarantees that we'll actually get any. Nothing to worry about, mate.

9News is right leaning and has always sanewashed everything to do with Trump, along with the rest of the Australian mainstream media (which is all right wing, even the supposedly lefty ABC).

It's bullshit doublespeak that really means "we're cutting costs (in the short term, the only term that matters)". Reducing headcount doesn't reduce the workload, it just means each remaining person has to do more work.

I can think of a few fun combos for Star Wars (Episode 4 specifically):

Alec Guinness (Obi-Wan Kenobi) as mentioned elsewhere in this thread

Carrie Fisher (Princess Leia) - Leia being interrogated by Muppet Tarkin and rescued by Muppet Luke, Han and Chewie

Peter Cushing (Tarkin) would be a case of "less is more" but it could be funny. Not sure how well it would work for the whole movie though.

Terminator - Arnold Schwarzenegger

Alternatively, Linda Hamilton (Sarah Connor).

Sigourney Weaver in Aliens as well. "Game over man, game over!" Muppet Hudson flails wildly

I had a colonoscopy years ago when I was engaged to my now-wife, and when I woke up from the anaesthesia I just babbled about how much I loved her. At no point did I come remotely close to doing a Nazi salute.

The trial never ended, Captain.

Those particular drums are usually used for solids, but with a plastic liner inside they can be used for viscous liquids as well. I wouldn't fill one with a low viscosity liquid, you'd want a plastic or metal drum for that.

Those drums in the picture are really badly filled as well, I'd have rejected them if they'd turned up to the warehouse looking like that back when I was doing QA.
