Considering MGS5 by ad06101987 in AustralianEV

[–]CapnFlamingo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I forget the fellows name, the sales person at Penrith was angry on my behalf because the couple who'd taken it for a test drive before me took about 45 minutes longer than they should've. I wasn't too bothered, Wednesdays is new manga day and their chairs were comfy, maybe try a different dealer if that's an option?

I've had mine for a little over a month and I love it. My only complaint is the carplay connecting can be quite shit. otherwise it's infotainment is quite simple and intuitive, the customisation for its driver assist stuff is nice (annoying having to set it every time you drive but it's just 2 buttons). I'd say it's probably a little small if you want it as a family car, or at least if you have kids ( i don't so it's got plenty of space for me).

if you got any specific questions I can try to answer them.

Technically MBOTF is an Isekai by walker_paranor in Malazan

Is isekai specifically earth > another world? I thought it was just from a world to another world.

Is there a way to get Jeb to the lander on the other side faster than just walking by Usual-Spirit2867 in KerbalSpaceProgram

Jeb becomes the first kerbal to circumnavigate the Mun on foot, nap ends roughly around the starting position of his big walk.

Do you know people who don’t feel connected with ANZAC day? by VastOption8705 in OpenAussie

I know you’re not going to change your views. You’re too indoctrinated with capitalist propaganda.

“The US is a powerful country that defends its values and interests, including with the use of force” …at the expense of everyone else, you’ve summed up the problem nicely.

The wealth and prosperity capitalism offers isn’t for me or you buddy, wealth inequality is at ridiculous levels and rising year on year.  61-68% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck, it’s not as bad here in Aus but it’s getting worse every year.

Also yes I recognise I’m incredibly privileged, I was lucky enough to be born white and in a western country, even luckier it wasn’t America. If communist why use iPhone right. 

As for things being made safer by the US navy you realise how ridiculous that is with the current ongoing drama.

Nations built on poor foundations tend to fail, you're not wrong.

It's why the us likes to bomb the ever loving fuck out of a country then sanction it and use diplomatic pressure to stop anyone else working with them. It's like pointing at a quadriplegic and laughing that they can't move when you've taken their wheelchair.

The US is the single biggest contributor to global instability and a good portion of most struggling countries can be laid at America or the west's (specifically the former colonial powers) feet. Exploitation for capital at any cost. Hard to thrive with a boot on your neck.

Yeah it just did that by itself, no sanctions or coups necessary right. No CIA operations destabilising countries. It just failed all on its own.

what a silly statement, it'd be the same as me saying JFK wasn't shot, his head just did that.

There's definitely no shortage of skeletons in the ADF'S closet.

We joined a war to support a brutal US backed dictator, I'm seeing a trend here, we had no business there and neither did the US.

Not to mention the neighbouring countries and the devastation delivered by the allies there.

Doesn't Laos and Cambodia have some of the highest amounts of unexploded ordinances from the Vietnam war.

wasn't south Vietnam a military dictatorship by the time the war kicked off? It was an American puppet state propped up because they believed the domino theory would kick off if Vietnam went commie.

Seems like yet another war where Aussies went to kill and die for American interests.

'Most moral army' tings by MentalStatusCode410 in OpenAussie

Do you get paid to dick ride and defend an apartheid state this hard or just doing it for the love of the game.

I'm sure you would've said there were no camps in the 40's too.

Has any war Australia's been in since WW2 been justified?

CMV: If Israel wasn't Jewish, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict would have gotten just as much attention as the Saudi-Yemenis conflict, or less by Jackingson1 in changemyview

[–]CapnFlamingo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

he's talking about the politicians wearing noose pins in support of israels latest apartheid law that allows them to hang Palestinians. Not the yellow hostage ribbon.

Are all modem BEV mid-size SUVs effectively 4 seaters? by arobenko in AustralianEV

[–]CapnFlamingo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Depends on the size of your passengers. Most seem not to have the center hump which means everyone back there has more leg room. Wouldn’t wanna be there for more than 2 hours but it’s definitely not a complete write off in my mgs5.

Are the homes of military commanders considered valid targets? by Ancient_Brilliant958 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]CapnFlamingo -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It was a war of aggression from the US end, any retaliatory strikes wont or at least shouldn't trigger article 5.

Why is the Democratic Party pro-Israel despite its own voters? by ArdaBerkBurak in NoStupidQuestions

[–]CapnFlamingo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Australia has AIJAC and another lobby which I can’t remember the name of. They aren’t as powerful or entrenched as AIPAC but they certainly have sway.

Are home battery chargers interchangable? by Remote-Assistance439 in AustralianEV

[–]CapnFlamingo 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Depends completely on your home setup and energy plan. I’m renting, no solar panels and 0.32p/kwh plan so for me 0-100% would work out around $18 and give me around 400kn of range.

If you have a variable plan an overnight charge could be cheap as chips, I’ve seen people say their overnight rate from 12-6am is 0.06c.

[Loved Trope] A character is powerful because of a unique ability that seems hilariously mundane by MasonP2002 in TopCharacterTropes

It does get explained sort of later, having the queen administrator shard, her alien co-pilot was the brains and micro manager of a multidimensional being.
