I’ve stopped reading them, found the summary to heavily change a story as context was completely removed, especially when political

This is a controversial viewpoint on here. You have to be pirating everything and using Linux otherwise you are corporate shill and will be downvoted for having a different viewpoint. Talk about an echo chamber.

I have used YouTube premium for years and years now, it is the best value subscription service I use. I haven’t seen an ad in years, I don’t have to find loopholes and I get to support the creators that produce great content. Also music.

Glad they were so proactive to have a better solution, the app situation was a load of crap. Looked it up and found the setting on my phone and it’s enabled. It appears my AirTag wouldn’t set it off as i have the iPhone with the tag and therefore it is not considered separated. I’ll turn my iPhone off next time I ride my bike to see if that causes it to detect it.

Isn’t it on android you have to download an app and it only works with the app open? Or has that changed? Edit: that has changed, see response below

I have two phones, one android (work) and one personal (iOS). They use different accounts so no connections between them. My android has never gone off, even with my bike that has an AirTag. My iPhone has gone off with a work colleagues AirTag but not the android phone which was in the same pocket the entire time.

See what the council gym option are. My local council one is amazing, about $24 a week with access to classes, 24hr gym, indoor and outdoor pool, spa and sauna.

One of the protestors is holding a pro nuclear energy sign. But they are protesting power cables running through their sites, which will still be required with nuclear sites. Seems like a bit of fear mongering from the national party to pretend they care while they oversee farmland get destroyed for mines.

I hope it reduces waste but I’m Not looking forward to hearing people going through the bins at3am in the morning on the regular. Talking from experience when it first came in in NSW.

Talk about a job stretching out and out and out.

I found an article from 2017 that the line was meant to operational by mid 2020. Now they are saying October 2025? The bit that’s taking the longest is the bit where they are using the existing track that isn’t getting replaced? The bit where they are just retrofitting existing stations. Is there something I’m missing here?

Another article from metro themselves in 2018 says that the line will need 3 to 6 months of closures to get the work done. Instead of closing it in one period it will done in a program of shorter closures. And the line is to be operating by 2024.

Now on top of all the closures that have been done to accomodate the 3 to 6 months they said before, they need an entire 12 months extra?

All fair points. I don’t follow the whole no one should own one as put forward by a lot of people here. There is just a lot of people don’t need one. Know someone who drives a patrol from one side of Melbourne to the other side everyday as a commute to the office, one person no kids with no equipment , and they have another 4WD so there is no excuse there. My environmentalist mate has a land cruiser as that’s how he can explore our beautiful country, and rides a bike to work.

Saw an ad on Facebook for a ranger the other day, 2 years old 21k km, description read never been off-road, mainly used to go from home to the office. Was selling to upgrade to the new model.

Also I don’t believe these fancier utes are very suitable for actual work, to much precious body work and paint around the bed of the truck. We have some single cab utes at work, and what gets put on the tray I wouldn’t want to be doing on anything I cared about the looks of. Also the height to get to some of the trays is ridiculous.

They’re an invasive species, added by people who wanted to hunt them and surprise surprise we now have an issue.

Can you tell that I commonly come across this spot flooded and am becoming crankier with age?

Nothing new for that section. Part of the retaining walls have failed and leak water through when the river is high, pumps never keep up and turn off, and the council will continue not to do anything. The detour along the road next to it has been blocked off by wgtp for a while now, the second detour over the bridge over the railway line is blocked. It’s all a bit of a joke.

Sydney road local here. On the weekend we try to avoid going near Sydney road outside of direct walking distance as it’s miserable to drive, walk, cycle or catch a tram.

The trams are so slow due to cars, which causes them to be over capacity due to the infrequency of them turning up.

It is unsafe to ride a bike as you’ll get doored or you’ll get swiped by a cars changing lanes without looking.

Walking isn’t the most pleasant due to the amount of traffic on the road (noise and air pollution ect).

I shouldn’t be required to drive to go to a business 1.5km down the road.

When you are choosing a couple car spots over the business of your local communities you’re already losing.

Sydney road local here. In a gist local businesses are losing business to locals as it’s miserable on a weekend for any form of transport that we avoid Sydney road all together. Losing more business than a 2hr parking spot will give them.

I had a longer reply on reddit to this a couple weeks back if people are interested in me copying over.
