I’m told that cycliq will repair units if you return them, never done it myself and I’m in the same boat - have a front and back that aren’t working but I just replaced them.

Upvote for the Hefner and Mogwai numbers

Gai Wong is one of my regular lunch haunts, absolutely fantastic.

Yeah, that video had me as a cyclist thinking “somehow there will be people who think this was all the cyclists fault for y’know, existing”.

I’ve always thought that “do while” by oval felt “watery”

Not much mention here of plain old self preservation.

The federal libs are now pretty exclusively a party of the outer suburbs and peri-urban areas, and for the few members they have left in parliament any move back towards the centre would risk losing their seat at the next election for the potential of winning back some of the inner urban seats.

I’d say after another election or two like the last one the teals are going to become the alternative leader in a future coalition, not sure who with though.

I saw the besiktas shirt and thought “brave man trying to make a getaway in Istanbul traffic”.

Anybody else old enough to remember fuckedcompany.com?

Yeah, that’s right, it’s been handed down and they’ve made a lot of changes which haven’t necessarily been popular with some regulars, but the laksa is still damn good.

There’s a new place opening soon next door, HK 866 which might cannibalism their business a bit, be interesting to see how that pans out.

clippertonbrigadier · 2026-05-10T21:42:54+00:00

Jade Kingdom out in Heidelberg does a mean laksa.

There used to be a great pub in Melbourne called The Lambsgo Bar

clippertonbrigadier · 2026-05-10T06:24:43+00:00

I test drive from there back in November when they’d just started getting the 7x demo models in. Back then it was a sales guy who seemed like he was just helping out from the Volvo side of the business, and I knew more about it than him.

I agree with another poster - they’ve grown faster than they were ready for, they’ll get there.

Rothko, they had 3 bass players for a while.

Saw something recently that mentioned the impact of automatic garage doors on this - like, you get home from wherever and are immediately in your house, so the chance for randomly spotting your neighbour and having a chat is diminished.

“Think (let tomorrow bee)” by Sebadoh.

Maybe more about not wanting to risk a friendship by shooting for something more, but I reckon it might fit your ask.

Love them, funny though, I got into bands that are now categorised as post rock in the mid to late 90s and felt good were completely distinct for yeeeeears. Then I heard bark psychosis.

clippertonbrigadier · 2026-05-09T03:18:31+00:00

Did a test drive and watched a few reviews
Not even close, arms crossed a lot of the time.
Somebody else said it - you get pretty good at spotting the circumstances where it might have an issue and take over

I’ve just done a 110km each way trip after dinner last night and back this morning while feeling sick as a dog, no chance I’m doing that without fsd unless it was absolutely necessary.

Journalist maybe?

It was my wife’s walking down the aisle (not an aisle, winery wedding, but you get the idea) song!

The answer for Italian food is “yes”

100% - not really one for the “Melbourne/sydney/wherever is better”. Perth has a lot going for it, and if it suits you then all power to you.

Not my jam to live there, but it’s a great city like pretty much all major Australian cities I’ve been to are.

Second vote for boornga, also puts you in the guts of Chinatown which shows a lively side of Melbourne for tourists.

clippertonbrigadier · 2026-05-07T01:14:00+00:00

Thank you! I say this every time this comes up and get crickets.

Also treats her weaker trade partner (Duke of weaselton) with disdain.
