- Comment on Create a race to the bottom in the rental market 5 months ago:
I have lived in apartments in Western Sydney and in Newcastle that had less than half the apartments in the block tenanted… yet none advertised. I do not know the motivations of the owners. But it is quite common, in my experience. Perhaps they have no one pass through their doors for six months at a time or more for another reason, but I cannot think of one.

Doesn’t even need to be coastal for that to happen. Bloody ridiculous prices all over.

Over(head) for (the duration of) dinner (well, part of it anyhow).

If you are doing that by car, then the cloverleaf will add to your spin, not cancel it out.

New reason for us to have a keep-left policy on our roads while yanks have a keep-right policy on theirs…

I guess it isn’t. I can get there by interwebs, but not by app.

That doesn’t really explain the supposed punchline.
- Comment on Blowing his own horn a little bit but he's not wrong 6 months ago:
Yep. It’s a pity he wasn’t included more often.

That 12 days isn’t half as good though.

- Comment on The name of the place is Deep Space 5 6 months ago:
The set doesn’t matter when the actors are simply that good. And the lines.
- Comment on Internode and Westnet shutdown: TPG moves customers to iiNet 6 months ago:
Any recommendations as an alternative? I don’t think I should surf them into the next repurchase?
- Comment on Coalition tells Cop28 it will back tripling of nuclear energy if Peter Dutton becomes prime minister 6 months ago:
He is a serious creep. It’s one of those “do not get trapped in a hall alone with this bastard” vibes.
- Comment on Exploits of a Mom 6 months ago:
How odd you think that. She was on my roll call for a term. I am not going to tell you which school, as doxing a student is wrong, so I guess Elle is going to have to remain a myth for you.
- Comment on Exploits of a Mom 6 months ago:
Dunno, teachers meet a lot of students, seems likely to me that a lot of us would encounter the same kid and not forget her.
- Comment on Exploits of a Mom 6 months ago:
Student names that really exist in my local area: “L-A” (pronounced “Elldashah” and Hazmat (shortened to Mat). Not had a Bobby Tables yet, but getting that dash into Eldashahs name was a difficult task, I am told.

Bester is bestest. He always gets an upvote.
- Comment on Fan made “Star Trek: Prodigy” Netflix Poster 6 months ago:
As an Aussie, I guess it’s “well, I didn’t want to pay for a new netflix account anyway”.
- Comment on Fan made “Star Trek: Prodigy” Netflix Poster 6 months ago:
Yeah pretty sure that news is US only.
- Comment on Yes, ‘Australian sushi’ exists. Get over it, argues Adam Liaw 7 months ago:
Having been to new york, the new york pizza is a piece of burnt corrugated cardboard pita bread spread with grease and thin red paper near-meat circles. It is not really all that edible. It is not similar to pizza here in Australia.

Green!!
- Comment on He's more of a pottery expert. But even he can see this. 7 months ago:
OP specifically said not the endgrain, so just the other two, the ones that don’t show their endgrain.

So many geeks are going to give/receive some weird presents in ten years…
- Comment on ‘Something doesn’t add up’: the small Queensland town united in its fight against speed camera fines 7 months ago:
There are a lot of people who think they can go whatever speed they like and no one matters but them. This one seems to have been deceptive, but only to people who refuse to look at their own speedo, installed in their car for exactly this purpose.
