- Comment on Luckily work paid for this tank full... 2 weeks ago:
Diesel is considerably more expensive now than even premium petrol. So probably about same price.
- Comment on Luckily work paid for this tank full... 2 weeks ago:
My family wagon has 60L tank, and it is not a big car. Just build for AU condition where you can have 300km between servos. 72L is normal.
- Comment on This fuel costs as little at 80c a litre in Australia. So why isn't everyone using it? 2 weeks ago:
Is there any station with LPG left? I have not seen any for ages.
- Comment on Six fuel ships bound for Australia cancelled 2 weeks ago:
What you listed is exactly means “impossible”. To be more precise “Practically impossible”. And really, batteries are not a answer, we simply can’t make enough to cover the need. But more realistic way to rid off coal, nuclear never get promoted by so called “green”. Be back to earth, plan for something which possible to achieve in next 10 years, we just do not have time for something which take 30 years to materialise. And oil have to stay anyway, but more as material than source of energy.
- Comment on Six fuel ships bound for Australia cancelled 2 weeks ago:
Problem is not in how many we pump, it is about refineries. And realistically there is no alternative to oil at this moment.

Good write up.
- Comment on Australia to temporarily ease fuel quality standards 3 weeks ago:
Nothing “knee-jerk” in it; it’s just pragmatic. The economy needs to run, and a strong economy is required to achieve any meaningful progress. The main problem is that many of “green” green lack knowledge (or pretend to lack knowledge) of the real world. They do tremendous damage to real “green” projects by advocating for “pipe dreams” instead of projects that could achieve something. Look at the anti-nuclear position of the “Green” party as an example (they should be pro-nuclear if they genuinely care about the environment). All their proposals are just hand-waving, which is unachievable and has no link to reality. And when you ask them, “What are the alternatives? Is there a real plan?” all you get are accusations or another “pipe dream”
- Comment on Australia to temporarily ease fuel quality standards 3 weeks ago:
What alternatives? Please give an example?
- Comment on Australia to temporarily ease fuel quality standards 4 weeks ago:
This one was a right move. Fuel price is in everything. Keeping it under control is right thing.
- Comment on Australia to provide military support to Gulf states attacked by Iran 4 weeks ago:
US have failed sooooo bad.
- Comment on Ban under-16s from riding ebikes and e-scooters then require a driver’s licence, Queensland inquiry to recommend 1 month ago:
They are not banning them for adults. Anyone who drives on the roads should have a driver’s license of some form, and anything too fast for pedestrian paths should be driven on the roads only. Maybe they should limit and classify e-bikes by top speed, not power. It wold be reasonable fist step.

Buying Online, and some other small hardware stores still around. If you are building anything bigger, specialized retailers will give you much better price.
- Comment on Bunnings wins fight to use AI facial recognition tech to combat store crime, opening door for other retailers 1 month ago:
One more reason to not go there again, they sells only overpriced shit now.

Old site was so much better new mess. Rain radar in new one is prime example how you should not build UI.

My google-fu failed on this. But it sounds like fun, especially in 80.
- Comment on Australia cancels visa of Jewish influencer who previously called for Islam to be banned 2 months ago:
Your comment does not make sense. The application of the law is as important as the law itself. In this case, we see it being applied on both sides. So, the shortcomings of the law are partly compensated by how it’s practised.
- Comment on 2 months ago:
Just explain you thinking process please? May be you just do not understand my comment? If that date triggers some small minority now is it racist?
- Comment on 2 months ago:
I just fail to see how you come to this conclusion based on my post. Please explain.
Racism is ok then, when it “affects only a very small percentage of the population.”
- Comment on Australia cancels visa of Jewish influencer who previously called for Islam to be banned 2 months ago:
IMHO good news. if that shitty law is applied to everyone, it makes it less shitty.
- Comment on 2 months ago:
Logic? Please explain how did you come to this conclusion?
- Comment on 2 months ago:
It affects only a very small percentage of the population. For the majority, that date means nothing outside its official meaning. And no matter what day you pick, someone will be offended. Just move on; it does not matter in the grand scale of things. But I would agree that putting it on the day when the federation was formed would make more sense, but January 1st is already used.
- Comment on 2 months ago:
Wow, tracing people online. :-) I hate racism, promoting one race over other is racism no mater what. All this jumping around First nation only creates more hate toward them, it is not helping at all. Want to help, help people in disadvantage no matter what race they are. If it will go predominately to aboriginals, fine, it means they need it more.
- Comment on March for Australia admins encouraged people to join White Australia Party 2 months ago:
Yeah, racism only breeds more racism. When the government is trying to embed racism into the constitution via a referendum, it sends a clear signal to guys like this that it is OK. Stop dividing ourselves by race. It will only lead to division.
- Comment on Australia’s strongest gun reform since the Port Arthur massacre has become law. Here’s what you need to know 2 months ago:
You will be arrested for accessing material on the manufacture to make a gun. Next time you shop in Burnings be careful. As an example if you are get a drill bit suitable for metal - you are criminal.
- Comment on Melbourne goes from among the most to least expensive capital cities 2 months ago:
Ok. Under young I meant < 35 yo. Anyone <21 are just kids, no one expect them to make long term financial decisions. By 35 you should set on the trade and have decent salary. My observation comes from observing “young” guys in IT. Shiny iPhones, but no though about house.
