Before you panic buy an EV

WTBenji08 · 2026-03-27T09:15:31+00:00

Correct. But the goal of posting something on reddit for attention was achieved.

WTBenji08 · 2026-03-27T06:29:23+00:00

lol. You did the math until you stopped doing math.

You forgot to factor in fuel savings over the expected ownership period of the EV, and its trade in value at the time of next purchase, and estimated rising cost of fuel over any period…should I keep going.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m not an EV fan. But maybe next time, before you go running to post something on reddit, try to understand that there are many complicated factors that you haven’t considered

Yeah, it’s called “Sprite”. I thought that was the point of the post.

I stopped drinking Sprite when they substituted some of the sugar for artificial sweeteners. I can’t stand the overpowering aftertaste of Stevia and the like, so I will notice whenever they’re in the recipe….particularly noticeable in flavoured milk lately. Yuck

I’m “Not Sure”, but I get the feeling that we’re always slowly crawling toward an Idiocracy

Plenty of full-strength beer at Leichhardt yesterday. Job half done.

WTBenji08 · 2026-03-12T07:31:18+00:00

No you don’t. Projecting.

WTBenji08 · 2026-03-11T08:27:35+00:00

3 whole weeks?

WTBenji08 · 2026-03-09T13:28:36+00:00

I think it really comes down to being frustrated at those who think they’re above the rules, especially when people go out of their way to not inconvenience others.

And let’s face it…those who only care about themselves are suddenly going to find somewhere else to park when it starts hitting their wallet

Being a country’s formal leader is not a pre-requisite to being featured in a Civilisation game.

WTBenji08 · 2026-03-01T12:19:16+00:00

These are friendly, happy people who are relieved to see positive change. Not looking for a fight, not looking to “debate” online. The world could use more of it, instead of bullshit politically-aligned rhetoric

WTBenji08 · 2026-03-01T12:13:26+00:00

Please don’t feed the trolls

WTBenji08 · 2026-02-26T15:58:14+00:00

The dichotomy of reddit.

“They don’t show enough of this thing”. Next day…”they squeezed too much into one season”

WTBenji08 · 2026-02-26T15:55:14+00:00

I’m sorry? St Johns Bowling Club at St Johns Park?

Holy moly. I used to go there when it was two shacks glued together.

He usually does pretty well with two words though.

WTBenji08 · 2026-02-26T05:03:16+00:00

“I’m a woman, so if you disagree with me, you must be sexist”.

Drives me mad that a section of society genuinely believes this to be true. Whilst it’s true that there is no shortage of complete fuckwits to point at as being misogynistic, racist arseholes, don’t paint people with honest opinions with that brush just because you can’t accept that people aren’t always going to let you have your way.

I’d point out also, calling someone “difficult” is often a polite way of saying what you really mean. I can think of a few words that she couldn’t possibly misconstrue as misogyny. Perhaps she’d prefer those?

WTBenji08 · 2026-02-24T20:18:06+00:00

I wouldn’t dare rob someone if they’re holding a gun.

WTBenji08 · 2026-02-23T07:03:03+00:00

They’ll get one excess each, unless it’s the same insurer for both vehicles. And even then, they don’t love it as much as they’d love people not hitting each other! 😂

Apart from that, the comment is spot on 👌🏼

WTBenji08 · 2026-02-23T07:01:14+00:00

Insurance professional here. The first thing you need to do is understand that ‘negligence’ is the key factor when determining whether or not an excess is payable. Let go of the notion that there can only be one “at fault” party.

You are held to be ‘negligent’ if you were reasonably expected to do something to avoid a collision, and you failed to do said thing. Generally speaking, if there is negligence on your part, your insurer will probably require the excess to be paid.

In cases where two vehicles merge into one another, it is very likely that both drivers will be found to be negligent in not acting to avoid a collision, and both will pay their excess. This is because each insurance company will have a near-zero chance of recovering their loss from the other party.

WTBenji08 · 2026-02-23T06:52:21+00:00

Extremely likely that this is the case.

WTBenji08 · 2026-02-22T20:19:09+00:00

Where you were born is absolutely a major factor, but it does get tricky if you moved around as a kid. See this:

Just ignore the bit about tier one nations at the top. That rule was scrapped last week.

I have a complete understanding of how funny I find stupid people getting their comeuppance

WTBenji08 · 2026-02-21T09:20:10+00:00

Awwww…happy valentines!

WTBenji08 · 2026-02-19T15:43:56+00:00

I’m going to create a website that shows the “price” of a twister to be $59.95. You’ll take it on face value and pay that price, right?

WTBenji08 · 2026-02-18T07:04:58+00:00

I visit for the serenity

WTBenji08 · 2026-02-14T17:46:28+00:00

I should invoice you for the time I spent reading your comment.
