Sound the Streisand Effect klaxon!

Would never have seen this portrait if she hadn’t complained about it. Now I’m adamant about it remaining up and as many people see it as possible!

Oh, and fuck live exports. It's an industry that's cruel and deserves to die. Find elsewhere to sell your stock.

The Liberals will have a field day with this when it happens, despite the fact it's purely their fault for burying their heads in the sand about transitioning from coal to renewables.

Doubled down on coal so the transition didn't have any prepatory work done and problems got kicked down the road to Labor. Who aren't much better. Just as in the pocket of coal & gas.

I watch a lot of dashcam vids (mostly DCOA). A not insignificant number of crashes are caused by someone "being courteous" as opposed to following the right-of-way laws.

Follow right-of-way. Be courteous ONLY within right-of-way rules or when there's grey zones about who has right-of-way. Never be courteous in ways that go against right-of-way rules. https://xkcd.com/2932/

@WTL For Australian videos DCOA is the best. I'm also subbed to "Scotts Car Cameras". But there's a lot of self reporting in there (people being technically right but still an arsehole, such as closing gaps so others whose lanes are ending can't merge), and a LOT of really mundane stuff such as people in b-doubles that are a lot harder to slow down going through red lights by less than a second on otherwise dead quiet intersections.

Sometimes I just need a break from Scotts due to all the mundane stuff and self reporting.

bastardsheep,
@bastardsheep@aus.social avatar

@WTL Oh, DCOA is also on twitch. There's a stream every Sunday at 7pm Sydney time.

It's just the videos that end up going in to the weekly submission videos. But with chat. And sometimes kitties.

Because selfish employees won’t work double the hours for the love of the company and no extra pay, and insist on premium perks like being paid at least minimum wage and super. The hide of them. How dare. People don’t want to work anymore. Quiet quitters, the lot of them.

So Russia’s invasion of Ukraine resulted in numerous countries suddenly entering the UN which is the opposite of what they wanted.

Now Israel’s genocide of Palestinian people has resulted in Palestine being given UN membership. https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/article/2024/may/10/australia-un-vote-palestine-status-support-israel-war-gaza

This was particularly cruel

"Will the 850cc MotoGP bikes in 2027 follow in the path of the 800cc bikes of two decades previously?"

Surely you have made a mistake that 2007 will be 20 years ago by 2027.

@jonoabroad @motomatters Should go the other way, make them all 2l bikes so Harley can join the comp.

Corporate Australia fucking loves a PDF.

Link on intranet: "Get IT Support"

Links to a PDF which explains at length how to log a ticket.

Because linking straight to ServiceNow would be, I guess... illogical?

bastardsheep,
@bastardsheep@aus.social avatar

@drunkenmadman Staff love making logging a ticket more arduous than responding to and resolving the ticket.

"How do I log a ticket?"
"What option do I select?"
"I don't see X listed"
"What do I do then?"

Despite having owned a sub to a VPN company for years (and these days using tailscale to VPN back to my home network), I still preference my own mobile data over public/hotel wifi with a VPN running.

Here's one good reason for doing that.

"It's going to be a bloody disaster": Tell me again about how the second road tunnel under Sydney Harbour won't make congestion worse?

"Civil engineer Les Wielinga, a former CEO at the now-defunct Roads and Traffic Authority (RTA), made the fiery comments at a NSW parliamentary inquiry into the bungled Rozelle Interchange.

"The Western Harbour Tunnel, which is under construction, will allow drivers travelling between the inner west and the North Shore to bypass the CBD.

"Entries and exits to the tunnel will lie at the Ernest Street interchange in Cammeray and near the Falcon Street interchange at North Sydney.

"'It's going to be a bloody disaster,' Mr Wielinga told the upper house committee on Friday.

"Paul Forward, another former CEO of the RTA, told the inquiry he was concerned about the project's design.

"'You've now got three motorways coming out into this short area, and whilst I would recognise there are some exit points, some off-ramps, those motorways are now all going into the Lane Cove Tunnel,' he said.

"'A large number of lanes are going into two lanes at the Lane Cove Tunnel. Sounds familiar?'"

@erkpod @Rentlar Really hoping that opens before the Wallabies matches start this year. Getting current public transport home means at the final transport change I have to wait for busses that only come every hour, and I ALWAYS get there < 5 minutes after the last bus left.

The metro will get me close enough to home it’s just a casual stroll. And is SO much more regular at all hours.

Republicans pass grandstanding "antisemitism" bill.

Those on the ground at campus protests tell that there's zero antisemitism on-campus. It's only ever found off-campus by non-students and counter-protestors.

Many republicans & RW commentators claim ANY Palistinian support is "anti-semitic". The bill here panders to this false claim as well as other false claims of antisemitism.

This injecting stuff people don't actually follow is increasing engagement?

All it's doing to me is driving me off these platforms.

What is wrong with people that they actually engage more?

I actually purged my IG account, deleted the app, logged out from all browsers purely because of this injecting stuff from accounts I don't follow. I don't do IG anymore.

The only thing keeping me on FB is the Australian Ice Hockey community. It's the only way to keep updated for the most part.
