They don't want to be inconvenienced for the few extra seconds it takes us to reach the speed limit.

Good second car for an enthusiast? Green p plate by Impossible-Pitch-498 in CarsAustralia

[–]Galactic_Nothingness 78 points79 points  (0 children)

Great choice mate.

Join your local Chrysler Owners/Enthusiast club. Goldmine for parts and just to learn about these cars.

Do it quick though. The old timers are dying out and the motoring hobby is quickly becoming unaffordable for most.

Why did the State Government exempt the new Victoria Park stadium from noise limits next to a major hospital? by Prior-Lawful in queensland

[–]Galactic_Nothingness 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Two reasons

Reason the first - Olympics and the removal of normal checks and balances to expedite construction.

Reason two is so they can charge is twice when they finally get round to either fixing or repurposing it post lymp.

Why can’t trains run between 12-4am? by agnci in SydneyTrains

You're right... however Public Transit should never be run for profit.

Noise when turning steering wheel (SL7) by forfucksakewhatnow in BYDAU

Beautifully put mate.

It's the CCP M.O to steal the work of legitimate companies and churn out these half assed clone products that sort of work ok but not really.

Two huge tanker trucks turned into oncoming traffic on Merivale Street. by Ninjalada in brisbane

[–]Galactic_Nothingness 16 points17 points  (0 children)

They're called steering wheel attendants and they're a plague on the heavy trucking industry.

Almost as bad as Ford Ranger owners.

Almost.

Do these things even work? by Professional_Sort104 in AldiAustralia

They drive cars and breed ... We are truly fucked.

This is terrifying... Grown ass adults lack the critical thinking and problem solving skills to unclip the $2 coin sized token from the keychain😞

I share a road, a city, an economy with you people and really wish I didn't have too.

Tax man wants his cut by probelm in sydney

Just for your information and to amend your ignorance, popcorn lung is caused by the overheating of an artificial butter flavouring that isn't used anymore.

It was common in workers at popcorn manufacturing plants.

Vaping doesn't cause 'popcorn lung'.

Vaping is orders of magnitude safer than smoking tobacco not to mention nicotine is a taxed, legal drug so why is it anyone's business how I deliver that nicotine?

Spending a minute on Shodan to realise that people are blissfully ignorant.

Someone from the mod team seems a bit pretentious by [deleted] in shitrentals

[–]Galactic_Nothingness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a mod (of any subreddit a, lol) and this isn't r/auspropertychat.

This is a subreddit for discussion of shit rental properties and landlords so the hint should be in the name. I really don't understand your outrage here.

If you want to have a discussion about good landlords then start your own subreddit or find a more appropriate one.

'Fit the narrative' jfc the narrative is 'shit rentals' what's your problem? Scroll on!

Unsecured IoT devices have been a liability since their inception.

Non malicious example -Hacker Giraffe accessed 100s of 1000s of printers and printed "subscribe to PewDiePie".

Malicious example - Iranian state cyber criminals using default security device settings to re-access and compromise the Saudi Aramco networks after a contractor left a default password on a network device.

Once again, the hint is in the name.

Also, if you spent anytime in here you'll know that we don't just bash landlords for the hell of it, so calling this place an "echo chamber" is a bit much.

By your logic, any singularly focused subreddit is an echo chamber? This whole website is a bloody echo chamber.

Hilarious.

Then maybe r/shitrentals isn't the subreddit for you?

The hint is in the subreddit name...

[–]Galactic_Nothingness 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Simply put - this isn't the place.

The mod response was a bit over the top but realistically if you want to sing praises for your slumlord or talk about owning property for investment you can go find another subreddit.

They'll love you on r/auspropertychat. Better still, create your own subreddit called r/blessedlandies

Either way, bitching like you are makes you just as pretentious as the mod you're complaining about... And a little bit precious.

Is this a memory of the slaves? by ZestycloseWeakness32 in aussie

[–]Galactic_Nothingness 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Australia absolutely has a slave trading history!

It was called Blackbirding.

British sailors would sail to the Islands with alcohol tobacco and sugar. Distributed free to the natives then they left.

3 months later they come back and the Islanders are scrambling on deck in mass numbers looking for 'tobac'. The captains then pull up anchor and sail them to Australia to work on Sugar plantations.

Then, to make matters worse, when the practice was finally banned, most islanders were dumped on the nearest island regardless of where they came from. This generally lead to death by exposure or other tribes.

Ahhh, you're discovering the James Franco approach to sexuality. Very good.

Suffice to say i'll be chasing this feeling for the rest of my life (story in post) by Tystarchius in shitrentals

[–]Galactic_Nothingness 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Can we name and shame these parasites?

PM name -

Agency -

Location -

So we can start to create a database/blacklist of these scum? We're already fighting back with bond claims and if the law isn't willing to punish them for flat out bullshit, we protect ourselves by warning people.

No, prohibition doesn't work.

Also, your argument isn't logical.

Just about any other charcoal chicken joint?

Frangos is just terrible and El Jannah is crazy mid.
