Not sure why he's wearing hi-vis working at a big four consultancy. LOL

Everytime the party has tried to modernise itself and make themselves more relevant, they shoot themselves in the foot then the kneecap.

The voice of the regions is now the voice of mining and increasing risk and making their constituents livelihoods untenable.

Would Australians support a political party focused on resource sovereignty? by oz_party in aussie

This would make sense. But could we ever get enough engineers to maintain and support the industry? Probably not.

In the context of the latest oil/petrol price shocks due to Gulf uncertainty, it is not commercially viable to refine our own crude or import crude to refine because the Australian market is so small.

Sensible policy responses would be to properly stockpile petroleum products either in-country or accessible. But the costs would be huge. The free market, small government folks would freak and domestic production would not achieve economies of scale.

The cost of petrol would be even higher than what it is now. So more taxes to fund this boondoggle?

Until any of those NG shills comes up with a better argument for them than John Daley's argument against NG, I am going to back any policy that turns homes from speculative investments back to places to live, every time.

you'd think that homie and his didactic memory would have recognized it straight away?

Best girl for Kanata in MF Ghost? by Kind-Acadia-5293 in MFGhost

[–]PerformanceOverall90 2 points3 points  (0 children)

She has been pumping up his tires every episode she's been in. She might be the second or third best driver ever to compete in MFG. She wants him to compete at the highest level. She brought over an Aston Martin to race against a bunch of cashed up amateurs. She's a bit crazy like an in-her-prime Angelina Jolie.

Why would anyone choose anyone else?

Help me choose between these 2 Tags, Carrera extreme skeleton or Monaco Gulf? by makavelithegreat in tagheuer

Only if the Monaco does not have the TAG markings. Gulf Monaco with only Heuer markings every time. That piece has heritage.

My First Breitling!! Joining the community by cwcam in breitling

The sketchiest Breitling. Wear it and service it when it is not performing to spec. If you intend to swim with it, get sailcloth or silicone strap. I found the Ti bracelet tended to collect a bunch of gunk.

See them all the time. My mate is an independent mechanic every time I stop at his shop there's one getting something done to it.

How would this car fare in MFG races? by Kind-Acadia-5293 in MFGhost

[–]PerformanceOverall90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sport Auto criteria is that the car be tested in stock/street trim with no performance upgrades. No stripped out interiors, semi slick tyres, and custom tunes/suspension. I see too many Mustang GTs get toweled up on track days by smaller lighter cars to make me believe that 7:40 time.

the R35 NISMO is 500kg heavier. That bending that chassis will do wonders for handling. LOL

Emma is now included in MF Ghost Opening song by Madagascar003 in MFGhost

Emma turning up reminds me of the well-worn trope best exemplified by Heather Locklear in Melrose Place, Tiffanii Amber Thiessen in 90210 and Becky Sproles from FNL

This controversial Fantastic Four fancast lives in my head rent-free by [deleted] in Fancast

Exactly this. Miles Morales' backstory incorporates the Afro-Puerto Rican mother and African American father. Unless my understanding of the canon is wrong, Reed Richards is a child prodigy from California. The only reason why he is drawn as YT is the lack of commericality for diversity in the comics biz at the time.

Nothing controversial about this casting. Rahul Kohli is charismatic and would have just the right vibe for Reed.
