- Comment on Reckless Ben and the Blatant Corruption - Protest the courts. The Police. The Corporate HQ 1 week 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 weeks 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 weeks ago:
I recall the initial Myki spend being compared to NASA’s Mars rover. It was not cheap.
- Comment on Discussion/change my mind: There are almost no examples where privatisation has been a net good* 2 weeks ago:
The best example I can think of isn’t entirely private. VicTrack / Metro trains is a good split. A private company (Metro) runs the service, while the state government (VicTrack) owns the assets. Metro don’t get to set the price.
Kinda like NBNCo owning the infra while private companies do the retail side. I believe water and electricity operate under a similar model.
…but WTF is with toll roads? They can burn in hell.
- Comment on Why does it feel like most art museums are for adults and most science museums are for kids? 4 weeks ago:
My fave science museum is the DaVinci Museum in Milano. It not as kiddie as the others, and my teenage kids actually enjoyed it as much as I did.
Maybe it’s halfway between an art museum and a science museum because DaVinci was kinda split that way too.
- Comment on Must have apps 4 weeks ago:
Defenestration utilities are essential.
- Comment on We are so close 5 weeks ago:
Like water and brown.
- Comment on Victorians transitioning from gas exacerbates growing problem of undervoltage 1 month ago:
You’d think that smart meters would be smart enough to report voltage drops.
- Comment on Victoria's free public transport continues in May with half-price fares to follow 2 months ago:
$432 mil is about 80 dollarbucks per head.
Considering that schoolkids already ride free, that’s a rather high estimate.
- Comment on I think Melbourne is more signposted than anywhere in the world. 2 months ago:
The more reasonable the speed limit is, the less it is signed.
The 40 zone pictured is on a 6-lane highway 30km from the city. It’s literally in front of a paddock.
- Comment on I think Melbourne is more signposted than anywhere in the world. 2 months ago:
There are actually signs before this to warn that there are signs ahead. I’m not even kidding.

- Comment on Free train rides: V/Line trains hitting capacity 2 months ago:
I took this photo after standing on the platform for 45 minutes and just before shoving some people harder than I’ve ever shoved in my life.
- Comment on The way this egg peels in infuriating 2 months ago:
I just peel it under running cold water. Fast and easy.
- Comment on Meanwhile in California 2 months ago:
That’s about the same as Australia. It’s $2.50/L and AUD is typically close to CAD.
- Comment on Do YOU consider Kanji difficult? 2 months ago:
I had a friend give me kanji learning cards and she had to write the pronunciation of each word for me. It had me stumped that similar kanji had no phonetic relationship.
I can sometimes read a kana word in under 30 seconds. I’m that bad. At least the symbols that look similar often sound similar too.
- Comment on Fuel shortages set to drive up food prices across Australia 2 months ago:
The US thinks the self-hoster is an enemy of the state.
- Comment on Petrol prices are rising, but Australians don’t appear to be driving less or taking public transport more – yet 2 months ago:
I’ve seen an uptick on people walking to the train station. I’m even seeing businessmen on e-scooters on the suburban fringe.
- Comment on What Phone do you guys use? 2 months ago:
Nope. I habe GrapheneOS on a Pixel 9a with everything backed up over NextCloud on a headless Ubuntu rackmount server.
You were waaaaay off 😆
- Comment on Guardian Essential poll: more than half of Australians open to voting for One Nation despite Hanson’s Muslim comments 3 months ago:
Even if PHON yells some things that resonate with us, I just can’t trust them because of their associates.
Anyone who hangs out with the NRA, Gina and Trump will absolutely not serve my interests.
- Comment on Anon starts taking T 3 months ago:
Probably. I have no idea what “easy” is meant to be.
- Comment on Anon starts taking T 3 months ago:
Mine’s so loud that people have to shout over it to get my attention.
- Comment on First time back home in 7 years. Where to get coffee and decent eats 3 months ago:
You’re still good for latte prices. I just got back from eu/uk and was horrified that it’s nearly 10 bucks for a small coffee in most places. Even Starbucks costs double what it does in Australia.
It’s still about $5 for a small barista coffee. Ironically, the cheapest good coffee in Melbourne is at 7-Eleven. A can of Coffee Boss is around $4. About double what I was paying in Tokyo 2 years ago. It’s not even imported. Drink the fresh stuff.
- Comment on End my torment 3 months ago:
He’s like 90 years old and I watched him do a 2 hour gig and only took one sip of coke halfway. I have no idea how he does it.
- Comment on YouGov: One Nation now 2 points behind Labor on primary vote 4 months ago:
If you look at the top 4, Labor+Greens is the same size as PHON+Liberal.
- Comment on Anon goes to therapy 4 months ago:
Literal definition of “incel”.
- Comment on The old icons were better 5 months ago:
It’s funny how icons back then were rendered with the detail of a renaissance painting, and now that we have hidpi displays, they are designed like they have to render in EGA.
- Comment on Shout out to the NYE shift at all the Emergency Departments around the world. 5 months ago:
I would expect 8 of those 9 to be straight-up nubbed. Not worth the effort.
- Comment on Lol, lmao even. 5 months ago:
To obtain a PhD, you need to contribute something original to your field of study, not just regurgitate what you’ve scraped from other studies.
