- Comment on Victorians transitioning from gas exacerbates growing problem of undervoltage 17 hours 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 3 days 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. 1 week 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 weeks 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 weeks 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 weeks ago:
I just peel it under running cold water. Fast and easy.
- Comment on Meanwhile in California 2 weeks 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? 3 weeks 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.

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 4 weeks 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? 4 weeks 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 1 month 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.

Probably. I have no idea what “easy” is meant to be.
- Comment on Anon starts taking T 1 month 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 1 month 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 1 month 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 2 months ago:
If you look at the top 4, Labor+Greens is the same size as PHON+Liberal.
- Comment on Anon goes to therapy 2 months ago:
Literal definition of “incel”.
- Comment on The old icons were better 2 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. 3 months ago:
I would expect 8 of those 9 to be straight-up nubbed. Not worth the effort.
- Comment on Lol, lmao even. 4 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.
- Comment on These platforms are currently exempt from the under-16s social media ban. But that could all change 4 months ago:
4chan doesn’t need an account. There’s nothing to verify.
- Comment on As of December 10th, You need to be sixteen to use Aussie.Zone 4 months ago:
I’ll write my username above my pubes with a sharpie. That’ll prove I’m 16, yeah?

It needs timepieces. Or am I the only one who likes NTP, ISO-8601 and Casio F-91Ws?
- Comment on Millennials are the first generation to move left as they age 4 months ago:
Boomers are telling us how great their home investment is while I’m just patiently waiting for Hugh Morgan to die.
