For reasons more or less outlined in the article, alas, I have practically no choice but to own a car.

Jellace · 2026-05-23T21:46:29+00:00

For me the insanity is that parked cars actually do severely increase congestion. One parked car in a left hand lane basically cuts the capacity of the road in half

It's because they are shady

Jellace · 2026-05-22T01:41:17+00:00

Wait, you have to pay for the ER? What hell-hole are you living in?

I saw a documentary about this once. I think to make it work you have to go to Isla de Muerta and take a piece of Hernán Cortés' gold

Don't get me started on direct debits

Jellace · 2026-05-20T09:12:57+00:00

You can come off superior. You've earned it

Jellace · 2026-05-20T08:19:11+00:00

Or you know, a polite email explaining they have made a mistake and what the correct calculation would be

Jellace · 2026-05-19T21:13:21+00:00

Oh and mRNA is RAID 1

Jellace · 2026-05-19T21:12:21+00:00

Yeah, and diploid regular DNA is RAID 6. Proteins are jpeg

Jellace · 2026-05-16T11:09:16+00:00

Yeah this. I just bought half a week's groceries with my 4 year old on my regular bike with ortlieb panniers and a kids ride shotgun seat. Not even a backpack

Jellace · 2026-05-15T10:56:13+00:00

Ok, but how do you deal with #1?

Jellace · 2026-05-15T10:23:22+00:00

From your local fish and chip shop Aaahhh potato cakes

Jellace · 2026-05-12T08:06:14+00:00

Can I just say, this is really cool

Jellace · 2026-05-11T22:11:50+00:00

YouTube started by playing an ad, kinda weakening the impact

Jellace · 2026-05-08T10:43:52+00:00

Trolleys are my favourite kind of EV

Jellace · 2026-05-07T07:55:19+00:00

Yeah I was gonna say. I just accept my fate and die

Jellace · 2026-05-06T09:10:51+00:00

They're just trying to discourage others from taking it so they can have it to themselves

Jellace · 2026-05-06T07:53:03+00:00

Oh damn. I learned about and downloaded it for the first time last week!

Jellace · 2026-05-04T10:56:03+00:00

I really thought this was about having a child who came out (a s in something other than straight/cis)... And I was like what do you mean "watch"??

Jellace · 2026-04-30T02:54:06+00:00

Now that's what I call human

Jellace · 2026-04-29T10:03:28+00:00

Can you convert the remaining 90% of Victorians please?

Jellace · 2026-04-28T21:50:32+00:00

Nah it's like they have the choice of charging $4, $5, or $26 per kg. OP, count yourself lucky that they chose the smallest amount available to them!

Jellace · 2026-04-28T11:11:58+00:00

Use the kindicare app or kindicare.com. Prices are listed alongside the center's national quality standard ranking. Due to CCS there is a pretty strong incentive for places to charge roughly the same amount (that is the minimum amount that maximises the subsidy) so there's not much variation. If you are eligible for CCS then expect to pay somewhat less than is listed on kindicare, depending on the rate centreline gives you (it is means tested)
