- Comment on AusAlert emergency warning test: What you need to know and how to prepare 5 days 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 5 days 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 5 days 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 week 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.
- Comment on Horse Drawn from Memory 1 week ago:
Worst. Crop. Ever.
- Comment on Pauline Hanson laments end of White Australia policy and talks up daughter’s leadership potential 2 weeks ago:
As usual, it sounds like something Trump would do.
- Comment on Telstra ignored warnings about equipment issue ahead of national outage, inquiry hears 2 weeks 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 2 weeks 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 2 weeks 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 2 weeks 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! 💪🏼 2 weeks 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 4 weeks 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 4 weeks 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 4 weeks 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 4 weeks 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' 5 weeks 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 1 month 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 1 month 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 1 month 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* 1 month 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? 2 months 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 2 months ago:
Defenestration utilities are essential.
- Comment on We are so close 2 months ago:
Like water and brown.
- Comment on Victorians transitioning from gas exacerbates growing problem of undervoltage 3 months 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 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. 3 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. 3 months ago:
There are actually signs before this to warn that there are signs ahead. I’m not even kidding.
- Comment on I think Melbourne is more signposted than anywhere in the world. 3 months ago:
Umm… You’re in aussie.zone.

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.
