• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Slate, a no-nonsense EV pickup for $20k⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Curb weight 1634kg

  This was the standout spec that might make me consider one.

  I’ve been looking mainly at small hatchbacks/SUVs, and they all seem to weigh in at over 1800kg. And many are over 2000kg.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AI in Australian workplaces: Michael used AI to write a work email. It ended up costing him $2000⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I saw somebody post some AI stuff the other day. Another dude corrected the glaring error in the first sentence and said AI was rubbish.

  I was mortified that the OP posted “AI is awesome, but does need to be fact checked”.

  But they didn’t check anything? Sure enough, they then started name calling everyone when they were called out.

  Appears that the real ‘dirty’ was actually the Spotlight dirty reporting

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Go Private?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’d lean to leaving it open access.

  Too many places become effectively ‘walled gardens’ and become difficult or impossible to just stumble across.

  Of course, there are the cost and performance considerations. idk if there’s a way to monitor logged in vs others. Or is there some way to prioritize serving responses to logged in users? I guess lemmy may not have that capability, and I don’t know how the server/instances are setup, but maybe split to have one server serving logged in users, and another to cater for the rest?

  Meh, it may be adding to complexity for little benefit.

  The main reason I have a car is not for travel.

  It’s to sleep in if things go pear shaped. Maybe I should say more pear shaped.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[Satire] Local shoplifter claims he was just trying to balance his trade deficit with Coles⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You can alternatively put a tariff of 20% on Coles and Woolworths.

  So, every 5th item is free and you don’t need to scan that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Australia seeking to buy back Port of Darwin from Chinese firm, says PM⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  There’s one-off, cash grabbing sales of public assets.

  Then there is the sale of the Darwin port, which added a whole other level of stupid on top.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why are WA Police driving around in a Maserati?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The rule of thumb for exotics/classics is that you should budget the same amount as the purchase price for maintenance.

  That excludes insurance, which is usually at least 10% of the purchase price.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Menthol cigarettes banned and every stick to hold a warning⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  BTW, if anyone wants to give up smoking, I highly recommend Allen Carr’s book ‘Easy way to stop smoking’

  You can find PDF’s available for free to download or borrow, eg at the Internet Archive.

  I’d avoid the Allen Carr site as content appears quite recent, is expensive, and Allen Carr died in the early 2000s.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Menthol cigarettes banned and every stick to hold a warning⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Sometimes I wonder if the real.addiction isn’t the government addiction to the tax revenue on smoking products.

  Has the price for a pack risen because they are trying to disincentivise smokers, or because there are less smokers,so they raise the tax to keep the revenue flowing.

  Well, I guess I’m technically a winner. From what I can tell, nothing substantial.

  The most significant may actually be the Doctors & PBS increased funding, though I’ve been lucky on the health side of things so far.

  Things are tough for a lot of people, and I hope those who really need it find something in the budget that helps them.

  What are they proposing? You have one qualified educator and a couple of rando’s for 50 kids?

  The NSW Libs even shutdown Sydney nightlife to funnel everyone to the Star Casino. That didn’t save them in Sydney.

  Packer’s Pecker took the high rollers, and it’s barely different from any club, pub, or rsl.

  I mean actually saying it out loud would be tactless and serves no purpose, but there’s no way you’d sell a sophisticated weapon without there being some way to ensure it can’t be used against you. Planes, missiles,subs…
