Don’t forget to buy all the chicken related products too. Maybe some duck and a new chest freezer for good measure.

That doesn’t apply here as this is to do with residential / highly urbanised local streets.

I think so, however I’m not sure.

While I do like a bit of happy / UK hardcore it’s not something I’ve got out to see for a long time. Quite rare in Perth these days. I make do with streams like the brisk selection.

I’ve been meaning to check out an ascension. Thus far they have not fallen when I’m free.

Do you just do hardcore or other genres?

No advice on bras.

But where is playing hardcore? Ascension?

Have to agree to disagree here mate.

I have long been pissed off with surveillance capitalists and creepy governments thinking the deserve to own hardware that has been purchased by users.

We don’t need an always available direct line to people. How ever noble the excuse they make for it may sound.

If I lived in a bushfire prone area then I would give this more consideration. There is at least 20km of tree cleared suburban hell scape between my urban location and anything close to bush.

As the AusAlert national test is a Critical Alert, you can’t turn it off via your device settings.

I presume the above quote is true for stock android OS. “Your” device. Who owns the device exactly if I don’t get a choice in this?

I don’t particularly like being told what I can’t do with my own device that I paid for. Graphene OS of course has no such restriction on the settings.

Yes I was looking at those settings earlier. All disabled.

Shall see who’s device this is.

Shall find out if it makes it though graphene OS.

"Presidential alert " Nothing that fuck wit could regurgitate deserves to make it to my device.

The right amount of various amphetamines though…

Better invest in quality lube.

Rage bait.

This woman will cop plenty of hate on social media.

How daft do you need to be to say these things to the media and let them use your name and photo?

I’m a little BIased. But I feel we have enough home grown religious bigots and homophobes without importing yet more with intolerant attitudes.

I wonder what percentage of the population is listening to “top 100” now vs 30 years ago.

In the age of streaming and algorithms the shared culture is not the same. Tastes are much more fragmented.

Witnessed a take away laksa being consumed in a cinema once. I’m sure the seats were never the same in a radius around the culprit.

Subscribing to this

100% we need legislature to prevent surveillance and data collection of all kinds.

For that we would need politicians that represent the voting populace rather than their corporate donors.

Not fully solved.

The car could potentially store that data and then it get transferred when being serviced.

Also it could connect to open WiFi networks.

Bunnings certainly is a monopoly that destroyed pretty much every local hardware business.

The whole cheaper prices thing is of course bullshit when they carry so many exclusive product lines.

But the flip side. They have been really good at honouring product warranties in my experience.

I have no idea why you have been down voted.

Our mortgages do work in a manner more similar to British ones than American.

I.e. you sign up for either fully variable interest rates, or you can lock rates in for relatively (say 3ish years) short time periods.

Typically lenders provide their best rates when borrowers negotiate well before signing up. Then they hit people with the “laziness tax”. I.e. they raise their rates fees etc higher and higher on the assumption that the borrower will simply bend over and take it or be too lazy to re finance. Many do. But plenty shop around and transfer to another lender to take advantage of better rates.

If your property goes down in value, to the point your loan to value ratio goes below the threshold deemed too risky, then your ability to shop around gets diminished. Perhaps it dips in to the ratio which invokes lenders mortgage insurance, or even makes you so underwater you can’t change lenders at all.

If this happens then the borrower can find them selves stuck paying a lot more in interest.

A part of me thinks it would be funny for it to get built to see how many dirt bikes / utes would deliberately tear it up.
