we is doomed!

Only suckers buy new cars.

well you need them to or you’d not be able to buy used. Having no choice though ? that’s what sucks.

Presumably this tells us its cheaper or faster or more politically feasible

cheaper… in the short term, endless tire replacement going foward

Did Vance even say thank you ?

ad a 60yr old I agree on an upper limit for sure, i’d posit 60 as that upper limit though

wait until you see Lightroom vs Darktable comments :)

some good news !

How come she cant just get an ID in here maiden name ? Is that good enough to then vote ? Fly ?

Just my two cents, but there’s just no reason for people to come here when it’s 80+% political shit a

As a contra point, I’m glad that its like this, a lack of politcal debate is toxic to democracy and that way be dragons.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bread_and_circuses

In a political context, the phrase means to generate public approval, not by excellence in public service or public policy, but by diversion, distraction, or by satisfying the most immediate or base requirements of a populace, by offering a palliative: for example food (bread) or entertainment (circuses). Juvenal originally used it to decry the “selfishness” of common people and their neglect of wider concerns. The phrase implies a population’s erosion or ignorance of civic duty as a priority.

That doesn’t mean there shouldn’t be more other stuff as well though.

It really rustles my jimmies

Why ? Who gives a shit, they are people.

Should people born there have their “jimmies rustled” because immgrants we’re allowed in at all ?

The fuck is worng with you ?

If the other 60% do nothing its like inviting nazis over dinner and being ok with that becase you’re not a Nazi Yes you are! .

Why do journalists do this sort of thing

FOX has always said it’s entertainment, not News. They use that defence in court cases. They’re not journalists, they’re entertainers.

You have the left wing politicians

All 4 of them

Is he talking about killing Trump?

Asuming they know where they are launched from, send in a couple.Tomahawks.

Like a kid, pushing boundaries

Ueah, notoce the lack of giant fans, unlike car tunnels, that need then to try and get rid of the toxic pollution.

Many stops and 100 yr old alignment, we don’t take public transit seriously in most of Australia and particularly in Queensland. It can take longer as there is only a service ever 30mins.

One time it was pouring rain, I had to stand on the seat at Eagle Junction Station becase the cover where you wait is like a bus shelter and it was blowing in.

It also shares the line with freight in parts, and our spangly new inland rail freight line will end in suburban Brisbane where they’ll the offload to trucks to transport it 50km to/from the sea port and it does’t extend to the next biggst freight port a few 100km up the state at Gladstone. Many of us seem to think this is a marvelous idea.

Was watching a video of the new metro line in Vietnam and sighed :(

I used to live on the Gold Coast and caught the train all the time as well as the tram on the Gold Coast (was car free living there) My mother asked one time how long it took to come up and see her, I said I don’t know, i was engrossed in my book. She refused to catch the train :)

Another balls up, instead if going to the airport on the Gold Coast they’ve decided to turn Burleigh Heads into a giant bus stop and use buses and Trams.

A decent argument was to be had over should it be extending heavy rail (my pick) l, or light rail to the Gold Coast airport, the new government chose buses …wtf ?

Going to be interesting for the Olympics :)

Is this some.sort of American polotical ploy I’m unaware of? accuse your opponent of being sane and sensible, is that a pejorative now ?
