@fee_bee_63@taipan168 Don’t tell me what to do in my car! It’s a specialist skill being able to have a glass of wine and eat lobster whilst driving my kids to their next after school activity!
Hey @AirCanada you’ve cancelled my partners flight, offered a refund, but your website can’t process it, tells us to call you, and we can’t get through to your call centre… I understand life is hard… but you’re not helping..
@disco___cat@LordMayorMelb Then pedestrianise swanston st! So much potential if you can just figure out a way to safely integrate pedestrian and tram traffic!
@SParnis Now? The problem is we’ve always lived in this world. What is right has always been determined by the mightiest… whilst we’ve grown and developed as a species, especially over the last few centuries, we can’t seem to shake off the jungle…
The trouble-plagued roll-out of the new myki ticketing system to allow travellers to tap on with bank cards and smartphones has suffered a $136.7 million cost blow-out and is delayed by up to 18 months.

@Oceansnevlisten@hugmeisterextra Absolutely! I love taking the kids, talking to them about the importance of it all, talking through party policies and emphasising they’ll need to figure out what they believe in politically on their own. Then top it off with a sausage and a nice stroll home!
@retrobike_c16@disco___cat Won’t mention the fact that WW2 didn’t actually end until August after two atomic bombs were dropped on Japan… let’s not mention that!
@disco___cat Interesting read. I want to point out that both my kids learnt vertical addition/subtraction/multiplication in grade 5. Prior to that it was a mix of other techniques, most of which made no sense to me. I’m not against new techniques! but maybe focus on tried/tested ones first!
@contractorkeith@NerbasRandy@TMayrberger@sashayanshin A Nike shoe costs approximately $29 to manufacture, and goes for wholesale $50. After taxes/expenses, Nike’s profit is about $4.50 per shoe… so I think the impact to their profit is a lot larger than you suggest… and the impact to consumer is a lot more than $2
@fee_bee_63 Hah, and when it comes out that it’s absolutely not chemtrails, they’ll all make the argument that RFK was suppressed by the global elite… fucking morons 🤦♂️
@taipan168 Dune Part 2 is, in my opinion, the greatest sci-fi film of the 21st century. Amazing cinematography, a superb sound track, and flawless acting all come together to create a unique experience. I know it won’t win best film… but god it really makes me want to ride a sandworm
@AB1327@profgreeneggs I’m vaguely recalling a bird flu outbreak late last year and a significant number of egg laying chickens were put down in NSW… I think? Anyone care to fact check me?
@fantoman79 Merry Xmas!
I’m lucky that I won’t have my kids until the afternoon…
However, instead of using the free time I’ve had productively, I proceeded to get blackout drunk at my partners work xmas party yesterday…
There is nothing about this morning that is merry right now!
@taipan168 I’m perfectly happy with immigration levels! What I’m not happy about is how repeated govts at all levels fail to accomodate new arrivals. Not enough housing, aging transport infrastructure, lack of new projects that’ll tackle transport problems in the future, etc etc
@luke_liberty@sandylanceley@taipan168 @Jonas_Arrow Uh huh, so at a rate of less than one per year… let’s see how many per year the US have? Make sure you use the same definition of mass shooting!
@Ruby109213 😊 if nothing else, enjoy the spectacle of sight and sound! Zimmer is a revolutionary in cinema music… for him, music isn’t an accompaniment to the movie… it builds the world and brings you into the experience!
Just gonna leave this right here. By far the greatest sci-fi movie of the last 2 decades. Visually stunning, audibly moving, and dramatically amazing. See it on the biggest screen you can!
