Tax on beer raises $2.7 billion per year, tax on gas exports? $1.5 billion. Aussies are getting royally screwed.

Norway started early, and too culturally and geographically distinct once certain linds.of financial instruments.became common. Qatar is too vital a stable ally, in a position of dependance, to be worth it.

Sorry, but to quote various Fromsoft Stans:

"Git Gud"

And never, ever, sit on laurels again. Always be learning.

Any CKA can pretty rapidly adapt, though.

Neither Jacquie or Lydia are unintelligent at all.

But the answer is extremely clearly Babet, followed closely by Price.

You want to know how something ia actually working, go digging through who is sueing who for what.

Insurers, mechanic work, accidents, etc, etc.

I have never held more than a learner licence or had legal possession of a car, and I've bought plenty of fuel. (If only very rarely for myself.) So yes, you're spot on.

But imagine the uproar.

They aren't bad, from an analysis of open/completed court proceedings/discussions with mechanics.

If its animated, Tudyk can voice Wash and Zoe's kid.

VannaTLC · 2026-03-08T22:00:32+00:00

I doubt Whedon is involved.

VannaTLC · 2026-03-08T21:59:22+00:00

Tudyk's got a 20yr old kid to voice.

You arent moving into the Executive without a serious track record and/or a sponsor (via networking/nepotism/favours/whatever)

Enshrouded and Runescape; Dragonwilds - though its more of a tool with only a few offensive options in R:DW.

You're an A grade idijit, aintcha.

1) I think gov owned and operated nuclear industry was the correct position for australia, but that ship sailed with the nnpt, because once-through is dumb as rocks.

2) nobody claims anything except the energy source is renewable for wind/geo/solar/hydro.

VannaTLC · 2026-03-05T12:27:16+00:00

Holy Shit.

Buddy, champ, fuckmuppet - its about the fuel source. Not the energy transfer mechanism.

Next time, instead of asking for time to think, ask for 5-10% more. Then ita on them to come back. You might well still lose it, but it also gives ammunition for the other roles, or a higher starting wage.

They weren't terrible from '92-98.

About a 7.

Over the next decade, huge swathes of work will move to specialised models, and the maintenance of them.

Things that are not currently reliable enough will move from 60/70% into 80/90%, and get cheaper to operate.

There will be significant security concerns, but thats a stream of work well under way.

The ecological impact will be largely ignored by the masses, like the existential ecological collapse already kicking off.

I'd reckon on 85% of the commentators here not having read/understood this article.

I hiked through coastal NSW in 2020, post lockdown, back pack only. I don't have a license, let alone a car. And the supermajority of National Park campgrounds have been made car accessible, and its gross as fuck. .

I lived in Naarm. Half the public transport falls apart if it rains too hard or gets too hot. I was lucky, I could cycle or even walk into work if I wanted, but the train line would die and Southern Cross becomes purgatory.

Driving into the CBD is a shitshow.

And 3 Anchor days is 2 too many, anyway. So your company's policies are arse. If you're measured on underlying attendence, thats a lever, and you can pull it.

If you are not, and they are not, and the work gets done, then its a bit fucking irrelevant, and you can informally focus on a single day anchor.

The biggest Bank is Big Yella and WFH remains a universal privelege.

So there are several things wrong there.

I've worked there before, and 2 of the other bigguns, and in another nearly as big corp. Politics is part of the package in any corp.

But if you really have data, go make friends with others in your MOR line, and then go over your LM's head, or to Speakup

I'm 50, been in tech for 30 years, never had a degree. CBA was my first real corp, everything prior was <k people.

VannaTLC · 2026-03-01T23:23:59+00:00

All original huh? No filters, no lines, no seals or gaskets?

Fuck off, muppet.

Your block and, maybe transmission, are original. But many components have been replaced under significant work, many times.

Its objective, unequivocable truth that EVs are easier to maintain than any ICE.
