I try to talk less Australian to an international audience because I’m self conscious of looking like I’m hamming it up.

wife is really into fossils

Self burn

We’re gonna end up with a Blink monopoly, aren’t we?

This is a sad one 😥

Everything is sealed, and generally water proof in general. I’m sure you’ve seen sump pumps, aquarium wave makers, fuel pumps…

Electric is so much more reliable than combustion. Literally it’s only downside is the energy density of the batteries.

I’ve never seen an electric vehicle drive through water.

I’d be more worried about the ICE a Shark is carrying around then the EV part tbh

I use Android Auto so the “infotainment” system is pretty much just a screen for Android Auto to me. I’m sure it works fine under there though.

I have found that being slightly racist and doing a bit of a Chinese accent makes the BYD voice assistant understand me better 😬 I do not do this when other people are in the car because… well, obvious reasons.

… You wouldn’t take a Shark through a crossing that an Outlander can handle? :-\

Outlander has 190mm of ground clearance and a wading depth of 400mm, the Shark has 230mm of ground clearance and a wading depth of 600mm (or 700mm, depending on which website you believe).

I’ve got no need or interest in a dual cab, but we’ve got a BYD Seal and love it.

Chinese manufacturers are kicking arse, and making the usual brands look antiquated and overpriced.

We already have a funny Australian version of The Office, it’s called Utopia.

Don’t try and beat Working Dog at Australian comedy.

Spondulix

That’s an odd name. I’d have called them dollarydoos.

Thanks to the Liberals who decided to halt the FTTP roll out, I have spent a literal decade paying for mobile internet, then Starlink, then FTTN internet, before finally getting a FTTP connection just recently.

It’s already overpriced and underperforming by virtue of being a decade behind the curve, I can only imagine how hard it would suck if it was privatised and profit became the driving force.

Its a public utility, spend the bucks to get it back where it should have been and run it as a service not a business ffs. I dont mind being taxed out the arsehole if I actually get something for my money!

Here you go my dude:

I bought this game in July 2023 for some reason, and have 60ish hours in it.

I randomly fire it up every so often because it’s quick to load, quick to get in to action and actually playing, and most importantly it’s fun - you know, what games are meant to be!

Vampire Survivors is the other time sink in this genre. Unfortunately I have that on PC and mobile. That’s bad for productivity.

I’m sure they’re making all sorts of valid points, but it seems like all they had was a notes app that supports markdown? There’s about a billion free versions of them on the Play store.

The irony of an American lecturing another country on finding an alternative to shooting.

tl;dr

Yeah, I don’t reckon I need to listen to a 4 hour podcast for the answer.

I would also like to die on this hill.

Lemmings is dumb. Lamingtons is rad.

It’s not the first sperm that fertilises an egg… The first who make it put in all the effort breaching the wall and dying of exhaustion before some lazy piece of shit sperm towards the end just waltzes through the hole and does the needful.

Explains a lot tbh
