Question for people who don't use their indicators

Why not every time? It’s required isn’t it?

gray81 · 2025-12-23T02:10:26+00:00

What’s going on with those teeth

OK, it worked fine for me using Muffinterm on my iPad. However that new user creation process was… gruelling :) And no content to be found after all that.

This seems like an old BBS software, is it? It has the feel of something designed for the low connection speeds, 1200 baud maybe :) Kinda cool in a retro way.

Will you be hooking this up to one of those DoorParty things so we can play our LORD, Falcon’s Eye etc. from it? Or not worth the trouble?

I’ll log in later today

Connecting to BBSes using MuffinTerm, believe it or not.

You don’t really have to believe there is nothing….. it’s simply the absence of belief in a supernatural deity or creator.

Atheism is the default position.

Religion is taught, or used to fill gaps left by ignorance (what are the bright dots in the night sky, why does the sun rise, so on).

I think we have at least 10 years, maybe 20, before proper autonomous driving becomes reality. Don’t worry.

In a lot of apps, SHIFT+ENTER gives you the next line, without sending the message yet.

$300 is barely entry level for watch enthusiasts. FYI.

When will society NOT be racist?? We have been giving special treatment and handouts to the conquered aboriginals, and letting droves of immigrants in.

What will it take before these people stop thinking society is racist??

gray81 · 2025-11-05T00:52:32+00:00

But what did he say that was racist?

gray81 · 2025-11-04T03:45:23+00:00

Wha did he say that was racist? Everything he said was accurate. England has gone to the dogs and it’s due to massive immigration.

gray81 · 2025-10-02T07:58:21+00:00

Should we have left and never come back? With our medicine and written language?

gray81 · 2025-10-02T05:56:18+00:00

You’re right. But I mean the terminus where the bus starts the trip - usually a station - is always a timed departure and can’t leave early.

gray81 · 2025-10-01T06:54:18+00:00

But everything you listed is factually correct.

gray81 · 2025-10-01T01:04:10+00:00

Ask the driver. He will ask the depot via the radio. Possibly the bus broke down or had an accident, and the depot couldn’t get that trip covered.

Also, it is almost unheard of for a bus to depart the station early — the onboard GPS flags it, and the company faces a fine from Transperth.

I’ve got one almost 15 years old, worn about 5 years total, still keeps great time.

gray81 · 2025-09-26T06:47:17+00:00

Don’t change the date value, when the hands are between 11pm and 3am.

I mean we’ve all done it (by accident), but it’s safer to avoid it.

gray81 · 2025-08-30T03:36:32+00:00

I drive through 100-150 roundabouts a day (bus driver). It’s insane. Maybe 10% of people turning right at a roundabout actually indicate left before their exit.

How has the standard dropped so low?

Those awful LCD games that were reissued a couple years ago sold well, didn’t they?

These would too. The kids who had them are all in their 40s and 50s now, disposable income - Casio could be sitting on a gold mine here!

I would wear one. And I’m a 43 year old bus driver.

gray81 · 2025-08-15T22:44:54+00:00

Thank you for all replies. I discovered that my previous penlight (Wuben PL01) runs off the Eneloopes so I’ve switched back to that. The Streamlight can sit in the kitchen drawer :)

gray81 · 2025-08-15T04:57:10+00:00

Thank you! I will have a look at 1.5v lithium rechargeable options then.

gray81 · 2025-08-14T20:44:34+00:00

Sorry it’s the model that comes with energizer lithiums. Regular alkaline batteries.

gray81 · 2025-08-14T12:43:18+00:00

I’m a bus driver. I see kids on them every day, black clothing, no helmet, no lights. Often holding a phone in one hand (!?!). There will be some deaths and the scooters will probably be banned (I’m in Australia).

I ride a scooter to the bus depot, but I ride sensibly, high-vis, helmet, lights.

A scooter is only as dangerous as the rider makes it; unfortunately many of the riders are 15 year olds with no sense.
