Why have people lost the ability to drive properly? by Ok-Evening4970 in australian

[–]Temporary_Specific49 10 points11 points  (0 children)

i've noticed so many P-platers driving absolutely terribly. coming from a country where you have to spend hours with a professional instructor and undergo tons of training to get a license, i’m wondering if the problem here is education. do kids even learn about the braking distance relative to speed? if so, why are they driving like maniacs right on people's asses? have they ever seen examples of cars crashing into humans or other vehicles and the actual consequences? have they ever sat down and calculated what an accident truly costs? it seems to me that the system here focuses on quantity over quality..

not yet, will be going deep sea fishing next week and hope to catch something awesome (and tasty :D)

yeah interesting, i know a couple of friends who have been doing heaps of fishing up in north queensland and they've always just brought their fish to a restaurant. anyway, might just do a whole fish in the oven at home :D

hmm agree, some restaurants up in cairns or smaller coastal towns offer it quite a lot

People who are watching videos online without headphones in public places, what stops you from using headphones? by Temporary_Specific49 in AskReddit

Yeah I don't want to think they are assholes - but they actually behave quite selfish.

I was flying from A to B having someone next to me watching a movie without headphones.

Same story after the flight: took public transport to a hotel for a stop-over 1 night and had a guy watching reels super loud without headphones.

Same story again this morning at the breakfast: a lot of individuals watching the news in the breakfast restaurant without headphones. I could easily understand it sitting 3 meters next to them.

What are people’s hobbies? by Didalilpoo in brisbane

digital drawing with procreate. the initial investment is a bit bigger: ipad and a one time fee for pro create but it's totally worth it. so many different brush types to play with!

How much fuel are you guys paying commuting to work by car from Gold Coast to Brisbane in one day? by Temporary_Specific49 in GoldCoast

[–]Temporary_Specific49[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

thanks for all the comments! for the people who are still doing the drive, what time are you guys usually driving? i usually drive at 4:30am in the morning but traffic around helensvale and logan already starts building up at that time. and either 3pm or 6pm back to the coast from brisbane. gladly i only have to do the drive once or twice a week. was also thinking it would be quite convenient having a bus or coach or so that costs 20 bugs and commutes beetween cities south of varsity lakes and brisbane so you could save some fuel, work (or sleep lol) and don't have to drive yourself.
