  • “Everything is affordable if we choose to care about it”.

    That's a fantastic quote right there.

  • It would be nice if "smart" home devices fell under this category. If the devices software is the reason that the device fails to continue to work, then they should be held responsible, and made to remedy a fix...or full refund.

  • That Redback section got me good. Was browsing this article on my phone. Didn't mind the spiders crawling on the screen, until the one in the bottom right looked like it crawled out from under my hand. Nearly threw my phone away 😮‍💨

  • RIP Infinity, the only thing that made reddit tolerable on mobile.

  • Yes, from my understanding EVs have way less maintenance than ICEs, so would be better considering the lack of travel.

  • Interesting, does that lead to a significant less uptake to personal vehicles all up for inner suburbs then?

  • Makes sense, if you live in an apartment, where do you charge your car?

  • The optimist in me reckons everytime the AFP interacted with them was for the return of the missing soccer ball.

    Scenario 1: "Hey mate, can you come down to the sati-" call ends "Crap, how are we gonna return the ball now?" 😮

    Scenario 2: "Hey mate, we got you off the plane for-" "Sorry, can't talk without our lawyer." walks away "B-but, we just wanted to return your ball..." 😥

  • Yes, scary stuff. Americans running around rent free here, I reckon they could get away with that BS and we would be none the wiser.

  • Yes. I have seen a lot of grass hoppers, crickets and praying mantises in my garden in the last couple months. And they are not small, very big buggers.

    Also heaps of ants, but I think that's normal.

  • Still shitty, but at this point, anyone buying Blu-Rays and DVDs should chuck that stuff on Plex/Jellyfin and be done with it.

  • I vaguely remember watching and liking the first couple of seasons of Underbelly.

    Looking at IMDB, there were 6 seasons all up, so I missed the last 3 to 4 seasons of the show.

  • Me:

    • Gets a bill for my tax return.
    • Pays said bill.
    • 3 months later; government refunds me the interest from that bill.

    Am I winning?

  • School uniform for me back in the day was a white shirt, grey pants, and leather shoes. The only "school" part of the uniform was a tie and blazer with the school crest on it. And I even went through all of high school never purchasing said blazer.

    This was in NZ nearly 15 years ago.

    My point being, uniforms shouldn't be breaking the bank. If schools would simplify the uniform as to not be that unique to the school, they might be able to drive down cost as more readily available clothing could be used to make up the uniform.

  • micro is one of the first things I install on a new distro. I can't live without it now.

  • I must have missed that class in school, but isn't the point of a private school is meant to be privately funded.

    Oh makes sense, I went though public education so I probably wouldn't understand.

  • They have acclimatised to Australia as well. Here's a video showing them making rafts during recent floods.
