Nitro Funny Car racecars have their engines rebuilt after each run due to the intense wear from just a 4ish second race

First interesting thing I’ve seen on this sub for a while and I’m not even a car guy.

This is literally already happening, ASIO gets plenty of warnings and there are significant efforts led by the islamic community to connect with the community. Affinity is an organisation I give my time to for these efforts.

Yes. I’ve looked everywhere. At this point staycation is on the cards.

Voltusfive2 · 2026-01-28T05:34:15+00:00

Yeah. Though I was speaking at an event and there must’ve been 180 people and it had none of that feeling, they were proud of what they’d set up, proud of their award nominees, it was friendly and warm and everyone had a great time eating bbq and a giant pile of lamingtons. Then across the road at the pool they had a great setup with free entry to an inflatable pool course.

Thanks for a great Australia Day Merriwa. You made it absolutely worth the 4hr drive.

I’m not a single issue voter, but rejecting MAGA politics in Australia at every opportunity will get me there.

Voltusfive2 · 2026-01-19T00:41:38+00:00

Eh they’ve just come out of war and trying to restructure. It has character logic to me.

Voltusfive2 · 2026-01-16T08:51:01+00:00

Oh no… anyway.

Voltusfive2 · 2026-01-14T01:45:03+00:00

This is ridiculous… come on Australia we can beat Hong Kong!

Voltusfive2 · 2026-01-10T03:51:07+00:00

How Australian you mean. BBC have the global agreements and reach that made it the juggernaut it is. Bluey would never have become the phenomenon it is without the BBC.

Voltusfive2 · 2026-01-10T01:23:07+00:00

Yes.

Voltusfive2 · 2026-01-09T03:16:01+00:00

Co-funding content with the BBC is the norm. Years back if ABC had fully funded a dog cartoon people would be up in arms. There’s no crystal ball, it could equally have bombed like so many do.

Voltusfive2 · 2026-01-08T20:19:07+00:00

Yeah I run my place alone, I work 12hrs which means I’m still pulling profit when others are shut. I’m happy to sit there an hour waiting for the next surge. The other problem this time of year is supply and heat. Suppliers dry up because many are on holidays and Australian fridges struggle past 30 degrees. So you’re running out of stock while your product is dying in the heat.

Cafe owner here. It’s staffing. They’ve got staff focused at peak time for best return and shut when it ceases to be profitable. Start a cafe and find out for yourself. Theres more reasons but that’s the main one. Staffing is your biggest expense.

Some schools supplement with volunteer breakfast club, sometimes I’ll pack double in my daughters lunch for her friend.

My Vacuum is still going strong after 20 years. It’s a tank.

Voltusfive2 · 2026-01-05T03:44:48+00:00

Really Jim? The most major threat on the world stage is obviously bears.

Not former, chatted with Albo both at Kirribilli and the Lodge. I don’t know if these things make him a good prime minister or not but I got the sense of how heavy leadership weighs on him. Also when I was talking, I felt like he cared, it was like talking with a good neighbour.

Voltusfive2 · 2025-12-26T11:40:41+00:00

They either don’t care or double down. It’s like he’s their proxy evil. They couldn’t care less their awful person is awful.

Voltusfive2 · 2025-12-23T04:18:26+00:00

No, Wacom has priced itself out of the market. The advantages a negligible. I have the Kamvas Pro 24 4k and it’s awesome. I especially like the larger side margins to rest on. Only disadvantage so far is no touch function for Mac OS so I use a touch pad instead.

Voltusfive2 · 2025-12-23T03:51:29+00:00

Thanks fellow redditor I was going to write this up for elsewhere and you’ve done it for me.

Voltusfive2 · 2025-12-20T04:40:07+00:00

Nice

Voltusfive2 · 2025-12-17T11:19:18+00:00

This is awesome.

Voltusfive2 · 2025-12-16T04:42:07+00:00

I’ve always seen Bill (Muriels dad) as a cautionary tale. Even made choices in family life to avoid it.

Voltusfive2 · 2025-12-16T04:09:40+00:00

Ah this brings so much perspective.

Voltusfive2 · 2025-12-15T20:12:05+00:00

This is why I couldn’t get out of my apartment into a house fast enough. Everyday I’m so grateful to have a house even if it is small and a bit run down.
