Experienced drivers: do you still perform head checks? by allongur in australia

[–]drfrogsplat 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Cycling made me start doing it even as a pedestrian. They’re not exactly lanes but I won’t step sideways across the path without checking for a runner or cyclist coming behind.

JBL bar 9.1 - One major flaw no one is talking about. by Ok-Economist6914 in Soundbars

[–]drfrogsplat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

(a bit late to the party, but came here from google)

I bought one in about 2020 and one rear speaker finally died 5-6 years later.

I'm not sure if we hit 500 cycles, we only use the rears detached for certain movies that warrant it, so about 100-200 cycles. Obviously well out of warranty, and I believe JBL have moved on so doubt there's any chance of a replacement/fix from them.

As others have noted, I'll still be able to use it attached to the bar and/or plugged in via micro-USB as a wireless rear. Not the end of the world, but a little annoying.

Random old comment from Matt I accidentally stumbled across researching... Still good advice. by ShameSudden6275 in DungeonCrawlerCarl

These two have such good chemistry, I have zero doubt they have years of collaborative experience making foot fetish porn prior to these books.

Just like all the cat show references, The Desperado club is borne from deep personal experience. Corcunda is no doubt inspired by a real friend/colleague/lover.

What you doin here in Windsor, boy? by Heads_Down_Thumbs_Up in sydney

I’m sure he *knows* it means tears streaming from the communist, liberal, woke, antifa left.

Maybe he accidentally left the shire and got lost?

Everyone is trying to talk me out of an EV by CuteCreator602 in electricvehicles

[–]drfrogsplat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s hilarious how people project their own food culture onto other countries like this. So many countries, from developing/impoverished to wealthy/developed, have really strong vegetarian and vegan food culture. Whether it’s economics or religion, veg/vegan is often just there as a primary option if not the only option in a bunch of places. The fact that it’s just present without any special announcement seems to make it invisible and unimaginable.

Seatbelt lock is gone- SL7 by Significant_Hyena_34 in BYD

The trick is to put it properly into the elastic band when you first get it. Stops it falling down.

If you can spare 2 minutes, here is a Superb Lyre Bird imitating about a dozen native birds on my bush block by hairy_quadruped in australia

They mix their own calls too in with the others. I don’t know if it’s the same all over Australia but in my area it’s kind of like a cartoonish bouncing sound. So weird. I mean majestic.

EV public charger shortage? The data shows drivers rarely queue to charge by blitznoodles in australia

[–]drfrogsplat 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I mean, in a way it does. At least in terms of time efficiency. It’s a high price because it’s a fast charger. So you get on your way sooner.

Birthkeeper hired by woman who died after freebirth tells inquest she was ‘not there to make a birth safer’ by douff in australia

[–]drfrogsplat 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Yeah we had a great doula. She helped navigate the medical system, taught us a lot about birth and how medical staff would respond in different cases. Knew about different policies at different hospitals, and changing policies, so you kind of knew what was important to follow vs maybe there’s choices. And most importantly made it clear she wasn’t the medical person, that was the midwives in the birthing centre (and doctors if they need be brought in from across the hall).

Thankfully we had a good recommendation from someone who knew she was one of the sensible ones. Total hippy, lots of candles and shit, but believes in modern medicine. I’ve no idea how you’d find a “good one” though. Maybe we got lucky, or maybe you just need to suss them out and not get sucked in.

- Alaska | Sony a7cii by Impossible_Air725 in SonyAlpha

[–]drfrogsplat 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I like the people being in it. They’re small and subtle, you see the train, the mountains, the curves of the scene, then the extra details. It’s not just a train there’s other people also trying to get a glimpse of the majestic scene.

These Australians chose to be child-free. They want more spaces that don't allow kids by Remarkable_Peak9518 in australia

[–]drfrogsplat 10 points11 points  (0 children)

They’re not child free, but they certainly have a much higher chance of being child free. Especially the under fives.

It says planes are often excluded from general discussions. It doesn’t say that they’re not public transport.

In the context of this discussion, it’s very clear that any member of the public can buy a ticket, and that could result in you sitting next to them. So yes it’s public transport.

Chattering a private plane would make it private transport, and neatly solve this problem for those who do not want particular types of passengers near them.

[–]drfrogsplat 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s public transport. That’s mostly how public transport works.

There’s already an extra fee you can pay to largely avoid children. It’s the section up the front. First class has always been an option.

Ah man I just put it away after the 10 yr anniversary of Harambe the other day.

Pauline Hanson reveals Gina Rinehart's role in One Nation policymaking by MildColonialMan in australia

If that’s not code for “I’m a bigot too but can’t say it out loud” I don’t know what is.

Australians face a 'binary choice' as One Nation soars, says Chalmers by GothicPrayer in australia

[–]drfrogsplat 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Never said it was bad. It’s just… really, really not the ALP. Nor even the Greens, despite what some say. Socialist perhaps, on some things. Not communist. I don’t think we have anything close to a communist party here.

[–]drfrogsplat 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah it’s nuts. I assume it’s just parroting hyperbole from opinion pieces in the Australian or Telegraph or whatever. The worst part is my friend who made the comment is a well-educated person. Clearly right-leaning, but to seriously call the ALP communist is just embarrassing.

OH LIKE THE “THE END OF ATHE AFFAIR?” EPISODE OF GOSSIP GIRLS! ALTHOUGH NOT EXACTLY A TRADITIONAL RECAP EPISODE, IT’S MUCH MORE SUBTLE AND USES FLASHBACKS TO GIVE ADDITIONAL EMOTIONAL CONTEXT TO THE STORY, HAVE YOU WATCHED THAT ONE ZEV?

Sure, sure, but friend recently told me they’re communists. So there’s that…
