I’ve never seen an electric vehicle drive through water.

I’d be more worried about the ICE a Shark is carrying around then the EV part tbh

I use Android Auto so the “infotainment” system is pretty much just a screen for Android Auto to me. I’m sure it works fine under there though.

I have found that being slightly racist and doing a bit of a Chinese accent makes the BYD voice assistant understand me better 😬 I do not do this when other people are in the car because… well, obvious reasons.

… You wouldn’t take a Shark through a crossing that an Outlander can handle? :-\

Outlander has 190mm of ground clearance and a wading depth of 400mm, the Shark has 230mm of ground clearance and a wading depth of 600mm (or 700mm, depending on which website you believe).

I’ve got no need or interest in a dual cab, but we’ve got a BYD Seal and love it.

Chinese manufacturers are kicking arse, and making the usual brands look antiquated and overpriced.

Thanks to the Liberals who decided to halt the FTTP roll out, I have spent a literal decade paying for mobile internet, then Starlink, then FTTN internet, before finally getting a FTTP connection just recently.

It’s already overpriced and underperforming by virtue of being a decade behind the curve, I can only imagine how hard it would suck if it was privatised and profit became the driving force.

Its a public utility, spend the bucks to get it back where it should have been and run it as a service not a business ffs. I dont mind being taxed out the arsehole if I actually get something for my money!

I would also like to die on this hill.

Lemmings is dumb. Lamingtons is rad.

How do I opt in for the ball fondling?

I wish the government would be more proactive in encouraging local manufacturing.

You know a great way to ensure a product is free from modern slavery? Produce it locally where nothing is obscured.

voice call

Yeah, nah

5/10, which I mostly blame on not caring about celebrity news stories.

I used to buy books from Booktopia a lot, because reading text on LCD / LED screens is horrible.

But then I discovered epaper devices and the convenience of carrying your entire library around in something half the size of a single paperback.

Surprised there’s still a big enough demand for physical books to be honest.

I reckon there’s an opening for councils to provide insurance for big events like this at a more reasonable cost.

Or even free, assuming certain criteria are met.

If there’s that much money to be injected in to the local community, councils stepping up to make it viable is still going to be a huge net financial positive.

Also if a festival is spending less (nothing?) on insurance and permits, they can spend more on extending the event or having more performers. Or cheaper entry prices.

What are the main costs on events like this? It seems they’re expensive to get in to, expensive to buy anything at, yet the artists get paid poorly and the events keep going broke…

Where’s all the money going?

It’s not, but it’s old Reddit with more attributes that prevent a transition to corporate Reddit so I’ll take it.

Going to dine and dash my local Chinese restaurant tonight out of respect 🙏

Public transport doesn’t go anywhere near my house or work, but fingers crossed it makes my commute better by virtue of taking others off the road!

I never used to care about politics (you can thank the NBN debacle for opening my eyes), but its so hard to watch anything on free to air TV without noticing the massive positive bias towards the Liberals now. Everything is worded to ensure you take away the message they are pushing, as opposed to learning the facts. Half the news stories just end up as advertorials for Liberal policy with no balance or critique. Its no wonder people who dont really give a shit end up so anti-Labor/Greens without even realising why.

Was kinda happier being oblivious tbh.

Samsung being a shit company aside, this “really strong” chemical smell is just going to be a burnt out fan motor / hot joint in a cable causing the insulation to smolder / some food spilt over the defrost heater / or something equally benign.

There’s just nothing in a domestic fridge that can cause a whole house full of people to get all these mysterious symptoms. Any bets on the “racing heart rate” and what not being a panic attack brought on by getting all flustered?

It won’t be refrigerant. It’s colourless, odorless, and tasteless. Burning something like R22 back in the day would give you the stink because it had chlorine in it, but you wouldn’t even notice 600/290 burning. It doesn’t even had the odorant in it like propane and butane.

I’m yet to see R600a in Australian domestic fridges

That’s pretty much all they are. I’d be surprised if you find anything BUT hydrocarbons fridges. Even commercial units are going to hydrocarbons now.
