I hope everyone on the ride had fun, cause I got to hear so many whinges about the road closures causing people dramas over the weekend heh. Didnt affect me none, but I wasnt going anywhere important anyway so wouldn’t have minded a detour. The people complaining were people who work weekends and they weren’t super chuffed about their 1.5 hour commutes.
Fringe parties with good policies -> Greens -> Labor -> independents with single policy platforms -> Liberal -> nutbag parties like One Nation -> religious based parties.
I have to submit a document for employment and they want my passport but my passport photo is 5.49 MB and they say you can’t upload anything more than 5 MB. How can I shrink that file on my android phone without paying some service?
I’ve been using Image Shrink on Android for the better part of a decade. It works flawlessly for exactly this situation.
I set the resize options to maximum dimension of 1600px.
Then the workflow is share from any app (like the Gallery) to Image Shrink, it resizes the photo(s), then reopens the share prompt to share on to wherever you’re trying to send them (like an email client).
You can also choose Image Shrink in the file picker to do it in reverse - select the files in the app you want, and they get resized on the way in.
There’s scooters everywhere already! Orange ones, purple ones, ones in rivers, ones in trees… Things are pretty much a nuisance along Southbank boardwalk. The constant stream of MAMILs on bikes is bad enough already.
In 2021, Australia’s electricity production reached 265 TWh, with coal accounting for 52.9% and natural gas for 18.8%. Renewable sources, comprising solar, wind, hydro, and bioenergy with waste, collectively made up 26.7% of the total electricity generation mix
If you want to get excited though, check the rapid rise of renewables.

I don’t imagine theres much room in the WA electorate to vote further to the ‘left’ than Labor. But still, a couple more Greens, or even Teals, could really help push the WA government faster down the path they’re already slow walking down....
Politicians are so cheap. You see local councillors approving dodgy developments that net the building company millions being bought off by promises of a few thousand dollars worth of community donations to make the councillor look good for the next election (and of course whatever ends up in a brown paper bag).
Imagine what a minerals company with billions of dollars behind them can bribe “fund” with a rounding error on their profits?
Can’t quite get behind Friendlyjordies message that Labor is who we need to get anything done. It seems that all they do is take good Greens policy, then dilute it to appease to the Liberals to the point where it’s useless, and then whine about the Green sabotaging their policy.
