- Comment on Coalition plan to hit 'gangs where it hurts' would slash tobacco tax and legalise vapes 1 week ago:
It won’t make them cheaper. The legit darts would be priced above the current cost of bootleg durries. The price would be low enough to not be worth pedaling dodgy fags.
End result: higher price.
- Comment on Yes, I use Debian stable. How'd you know? 2 weeks ago:
Consistency. You can take 3 readings in a row with that stick and get 3 wildly different results. I have a $20 digital one from decades ago that gives me the same reading withing 5kPa on each try.
- Comment on Yes, I use Debian stable. How'd you know? 2 weeks ago:
I tick most of these boxes and still have a rotary landline phone in service.
- Comment on Yes, I use Debian stable. How'd you know? 2 weeks ago:
I have one of those in my glovebox. I think I bought it in 2003. My 2003 manual jap econobox has no need for TPMS. If a tyre is 30kPa too low, you can feel it.
- Comment on Suburban Rail Loop to find $2b in savings through station changes 2 weeks ago:
So, we won’t be able to transfer between the platforms at Box Hill station without going for a hike?
It sounds as bad as the bus terminal.
- Comment on Pauline Hanson vows to slash cigarette prices by nearly $30 a pack 2 weeks ago:
Remember - you’re not voting for the party leader alone.
Hell, you’re not even voting for the party as a whole.
You’re voting for the party’s donors. In this case, it’s big tobacco who want their cut.
- Comment on What It's Sometimes Like Posting A Meme On Lemmy 3 weeks ago:
On a Venn diagram, there’s quite an overlap between autism and trains.
- Comment on Mars Bar from the 1990s found during house clearance - shrinkflation in action 4 weeks ago:
I always had the feeling that they were 56% bigger when I was a kid.
- Comment on The size decrease of fast-food over the last 5 years. 4 weeks ago:
As a general rule, everything in the US is measured or notated differently to the rest of the world. Lengths, and weights, food energy, dates, fuel octane, fuel economy, blood glucose. Hell, you guys can’t even do shelf price tags the same.
- Comment on The size decrease of fast-food over the last 5 years. 4 weeks ago:
If you dig through archive.org and retireve the nutritional information PDFs over time, you can see the kj levels dropping.
- Comment on When they didn't read the manual 5 weeks ago:
If you’re on a scrollwheel, you’re rolling a wheel down the page, and the viewport moves and the page stays still.
Sliding the scrollbar does the same. It moves the viewport.
On a touchscreen, you’re pulling the page directly. The page moves and the viewport stays still.
A trackpad? I like to think that it’s sliding the scrollbar, not the document.
- Comment on AusAlert emergency warning test: What you need to know and how to prepare 1 month ago:
You can pull the message up again, but it’s buried pretty deep in the settings.
- Comment on AusAlert emergency warning test: What you need to know and how to prepare 1 month ago:
It fired! Even one phone without a wifi connection either.
- Comment on AusAlert emergency warning test: What you need to know and how to prepare 1 month ago:
I’m going to boot a phone with no SIM. I’m curious if it will still get it in “SOS calls only” mode.
- Comment on Nintendo Responds To Tariff Refunds Lawsuit, Tells Customers They "Got What They Bargained For" 1 month ago:
I’m not sure what Nintendo were meant to do. They probably shipped less units because of pricing. It would be impossible to actually hand that cash back to customers.
The refund just means that the consumer paid for it once, then the taxpayer paid for it again. Yes, they are the same people.

Worst. Crop. Ever.
- Comment on Pauline Hanson laments end of White Australia policy and talks up daughter’s leadership potential 1 month ago:
As usual, it sounds like something Trump would do.
- Comment on Telstra ignored warnings about equipment issue ahead of national outage, inquiry hears 1 month ago:
I bet their “maintenance” was replacing a CR2032 RTC backup battery or something.
Idiots.
- Comment on 500,000 households cancel TV licence putting BBC future in jeopardy 1 month ago:
Direct government funding works. We have it for the BBC’s cousin, the ABC, in Australia.
It’s somewhat contractual that the ABC’s content is independent, impartial and bipartisan.
The only problem with government funding is when the government cuts the funding for actually exercising independence, impartiality and bipartisanship.
- Comment on How many people have driven right into that wall 1 month ago:
It’s Glasgow. You get hit by a car if you don’t put a traffic cone on your head.
- Comment on Unlike Count Binface, joke parties can’t run in Australian elections — and that’s serious 1 month ago:
The big blocker now is needing 500 members.
Just this week, I had to reenrol as a member of a party that only exists because all the small single-issue parties had to merge to make it on the ballot.
I’m busy, and I contribute almost nothing. But I make sure to stay signed so we continue to meet the bar.
- Comment on Plenty! 💪🏼 1 month ago:
LOL I actually have experience using this to write integration tests.
- Comment on One Nation overtakes Labor, Liberals in Victoria; Allan’s rating dives 2 months ago:
It’s kinda scary how quickly this party got off the ground. Pauline has been out networking with the mining giants, the NRA, MAGA republicans and the Epstein oligarchy. If she gets in, then these groups will wholly influence government policy.
Do people not realise, or not care?
- Comment on Overrated GTA hype 2 months ago:
30fps?
You should try GTA1. On modern hardware it runs at about 15.
- Comment on Physical disc production ending in January 2028 for new games releasing on PlayStation consoles 2 months ago:
Shipping a rootkit on a music CD didn’t do it for you already? And the 50 things they did after that?
- Comment on Physical disc production ending in January 2028 for new games releasing on PlayStation consoles 2 months ago:
Considering that Sony are practically a monopoly in the disc market, this could be interpreted as exiting blu-ray across the market. If they’re not behind it, nobody is.
- Comment on Taylor bats away multiculturalism saga criticism, says Australia shouldn’t 'look like Japan' 2 months ago:
The article delves into it a bit. I can feel it when in Japan, and I quite like Japan’s monoculture - even as a tourist. It’s basically taking dojo etiquette and applying it everywhere. Everyone is born and raised with the same culture and same values. They get along, and work as one.
They even take it in turns when cheering at a baseball game. No negativity. You cheer or be silent. It’s so wholesome to see.
- Comment on Reckless Ben and the Blatant Corruption - Protest the courts. The Police. The Corporate HQ 2 months ago:
It needs to escalate until it lands with someone who isn’t from LDS.
I’m kinda worried that this whole state’s legal system is LDS all the way to the top.
- Comment on 'Disgusted': Albanese, Gillard condemn 'Ditch the Witch' campaign targeting Allan 2 months ago:
part of a secret and well-funded political campaign
I’m pretty sure this is illegal. Don’t all political ads need the MPs name on it?
- Comment on Melbourne trains finally arrive in the Myki-less era with tap-and-go payments, almost a decade after Sydney 2 months ago:
I recall the initial Myki spend being compared to NASA’s Mars rover. It was not cheap.
