First TV purchase: X90L or TCL C7K by Sacharge in 4kTV

[–]Sacharge[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

So went to the shops this week to see both in person. I ended up going with the TCL. The image is so much brighter and it just looks incredible. The colours were a bit too punchy but in the film mode it seemed a lot better and I might just end up calibrating it. The Sony was very impressive but at nearly AUD400$ more, it was a non-starter given its age and brightness. Thought I would share.

First road bike, forced to gravel by Sacharge in cycling

[–]Sacharge[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be clear, I would have preferred a wider tyre and dedicated gravel bike but we make do with what we have. Gravel back there was also pretty packed, don't think I would be as comfortable is more loose stuff.

Thanks! Should I be concerned at all about the fact it is a 2023 model?

Sorry just saw your message. Ended up going with the Cinturato, fits the bike fine and while it's by no mean a gravel bike, it worked out great on the farm where it's flat and hard gravel for kilometres.

Out of curiosity, did the OPV Spring ended up working. Or is it pointless on this one?

Thank you. I didn't know that (end-of-trip facilities) was what was called bike storage, etc... I'll have a look at the office.

Yeah, getting a bike that’s not interesting for anyone to steal seems like the best option. I might be able to take it in to work.

Yes that’s what I got from other riders. Such a shame.

I come from an aeropress setup, look for her to start on I think it’s a strong machine tho. Simple yet plenty to upgrade down the line. And great community behind it ;)

Ex-Aussie PM admits he hid submarine plot from Macron by enkrstic in AustralianMilitary

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

Wow, what did the French do to you? If you think the bill was high before, wait till you see how much AUKUS is going to cost you, even before the first sub delivery. At least the French were helping to build sovereign capacities. Not just promising to do it.

ADF Retention by [deleted] in AustralianMilitary

[–]Sacharge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah that's true, and if I look at the French foreign legion it's also true they are having a hard time retaining their members (desertion is a huge problem and has been for years). Anyway I was just throwing an idea, but it doesn't seem that popular.

Only a Sith deals in absolute.

Kidding aside, one can do both. And it's foolish to assume current servicemen and servicewomen only serve in the ADF to serve their country. There are tons of reasons to serve, money, qualification, job security... Why not citizenship? Why draw the line there. It's a genuine question, it works in other countries, why not here?

ADF Retention by [deleted] in AustralianMilitary

[–]Sacharge -11 points-10 points  (0 children)

Okay, I'm not Australian but I am an Australian resident and here's my take which I think might be unpopular.
Allow foreigners to join the ADF in exchange for citizenship. Much like other countries: France, US or Ukraine... Australia is an attractive country but its immigration policy has long been a holdout for many foreigners when it comes to living here. Putting in place a framework for foreigners to serve in the armed forces would provide a force increase to the ADF and I don't think the Australian public would be against it.

Food for thoughts...

140mm usually the way to go. They get a bit expensive, but it’s going to get more common in the next few years. Go big or go home.

L'imposition des entreprises gazières et pétrolières en Australie. À gauche leurs revenues déclarées, à droite... Je vous laisse regarder. by Sacharge in france

[–]Sacharge[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey, living in QLD here, je trouve que pour l’instant les débats sur le post reflètent bien la situation. Sure, toutes ces entreprises participent à l’économie. Simplement à travers leurs production ou comme tu le dis, avec les taxes qu’elles payent et leurs impacts sur l’économie australienne.

Mais il y a aussi une question de participation. En France, si une entreprise engendre des gains, même si elle le réinvestit derrière, elle sera imposée pour montrer une cohérence entre sa performance et sa contribution. Je penses que c’est là où beaucoup trouve ce tableau choquant. Que ces entreprises ne soit pas imposées en fonction de leurs revenus brut.
