I would expect 8 of those 9 to be straight-up nubbed. Not worth the effort.

Rego is weight-based, but it’s utterly fucked.

My 900kg hatchback costs $149 more to register than a ute up to 4500kg out in the country.

In the city, the rego difference is $1.10.

What’s worse, their FAQ says a lot of TAC claims for utes are paid by workcover, not the TAC. That’s why it’s cheaper.

…so people who purchase a roadblimp to use for school dropoffs are dodging the TAC charge, whilst being a much larger hazard than everyone else.

We should charge rego by weight and volume. We should measure safety by damage inflicted, not damage deflected.

None, and Rupert wants to change that.

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.

Everything the federal government does is to the benefit of either Murdoch Media, the gambling empire, landlords or the mining industry.

I could also suggest that this ban was effected so Rupert could drive traffic to his news websites.

Seriously. Every law always benefits one of them.

It’s a bit of a joke. I can break outgoing 000 calls on a Pixel 9a with a perfectly reasonable network setup. Nobody can roll a stable radio firmware these days.

I would absolutely NOT wank with Windows open.

That’s actually a good ad! I thought they stopped making those.

The punchline is that zombies are triggered by noise and the Kia doesn’t set them off.

4chan doesn’t need an account. There’s nothing to verify.

Programmers need to respect other people’s hardware. A 4TB HDD currently costs more than it did a decade ago.

My data is stored on a mirrored RAID, and backed up on two alternating offsite drives. For every TB of space I use, I buy 4. I do not consider this negotiable.

I don’t back up game installs, but by point remains valid. 90% of hardware advances gets pissed away by bloated shitcode. I see it every day.

This vibes like that scene in Dumb and Dumber where Harry is standing next to a fire complaining that his fingers are about to fall off, and Lloyd says “you should take these extra gloves. Mine are getting sweaty”.

This game currently consumes 30% of the hard drive on my main PC.

I’m impressed by the technical feat, but am also annoyed that they knew they were wasting this much space and simply did not care. I’m betting every 100GB game is like this.

Absolutely. I write code all day and my brain is spinning at 32,000RPM at 5PM and come bedtime it’s only halfway to idle.

I would need to exercise, binge on sugar, or drink something at cask-strength. Sometimes all 3.

Boomers are telling us how great their home investment is while I’m just patiently waiting for Hugh Morgan to die.

With a motorcycle licensed rider and ADR compliance, sure. But not kids on toys.

On Meta, it will be through Yoti’s facial assurance check, which requires users to take a video selfie to assess their age.

Can I send a video of the hair on my cock instead?

Start a new life on a farm.

But seriously, it was mostly because my coworkers don’t realise when the linter underlines broken stuff in red. You upgrade it, and and your project has 180 errors and you have no idea which ones are new.

It would be nice to jump on a Jetstar/Qantas flight with a working USB port though…

I love react. It’s so straightforward until it collapses onto a tangled mess of hooks, refs, callbacks and dependencies.

I just finished updating an app to 0.82.1 today and JFC it was a mess.

Firefox mobile too?

I’d blame the gecko, but literally NO other site breaks like this.
