Definitely, we sure do love shortening words, while using an 'o' at the end. It was a bit of an adjustment moving to North America and using the full word, even in casual conversations. Small things like saying "gas/service station" instead of "servo" or "vehicle registration" instead of "rego". Us Aussie's must come across quite unprofessional at times with our slang and sayings like 'flat out like a lizard'.

As someone from rural QLD, Australia, I feel like we might be losing some of these unique sayings in our vernacular over time. Though we are definitely still hanging onto our diminutives, especially those ending with o, ie and y (E.g. ambo, rego, arvo, servo, barbie, footy).

I would imagine there will still be a sizable number of jobs outside of Voestalpine group from contractors/companies maintaining machinery and transport companies. Will be interesting the long term impacts as well on the local communities in a country like Austria.

Also RocketSpace will be opening their first Canadian office in Calgary. The local government is starting to push for a bigger tech industry and add diversity away from the oil/gas industry that has dominated the city. Also the climate isn't so bad with plenty of sunshine and warm Chinook winds occasionally during the winter.

Interesting though how Mozilla will be releasing Firefox Screenshots for Chrome too in the future. Chrome's built in screenshot tool in dev tools has been improving in recent versions of Canary, with full screen capture now added. I'll be keen to see how it compares.

Great feature/add-on to have built into Firefox though without the need to get an add-on.
