  • Funnily enough, in Australia we call the broiler a grill, and what you’re describing is exactly what I thought a grilled cheese was. One of my favourite snacks when I was a kid was this, but with corn kernels under the cheese as well. Of course, being Australian, cheese and Vegemite was also a winning combination!


  • Aussie here, I’ve always considered a cheese toasty to be a cheese sandwich that’s been toasted in a jaffle iron. A toasted cheese sandwich, however, would be more similar to a grilled cheese.

    Not sure if this was just the nomenclature used by my family or is in line with what others call them, though.









  • I’ve owned five, but have worn/used three.

    First pair from age 13 or 14 through to 17. Second pair from 17 until 24. Third pair has seen daily use for over 14 years.

    I have replaced the lenses in my third pair once, and have a couple of pairs of spare lenses if the need arises. I already have my next two pairs of sunglasses, bought them maybe eight years ago, just in case.

    This doesn’t include tinted safety glasses that I wear at work, I usually only get an average of 6-8 months out of those.







  • Most of my passwords are based around strings of characters that are comfortable to type, then committing them to muscle memory. There’s a few downsides to this:

    • If I need to log in to something on mobile and don’t have a proper keyboard with me, it’s tough to remember which symbols I’ve used

    • I share some of my logins with friends and family for certain things, if they call and need to re-enter a password, it’s usually impossible to recite it to them over the phone (most of my shared logins have reverted back to proper words and numbers to make it easier for the others)

    • If I lose an arm, I’ll probably have to reset all of my passwords.

    But yeah, words alone provide plenty of possibilities. There’s a reason cryptocurrency wallets use them for seed phrases.
