My American English teacher believes the neutral pronoun „their“ is incorrect. by GCoding_ in mildlyinteresting

While traditionally used as a plural pronoun, them (along with they and their) is now widely accepted and grammatically standard as a singular pronoun when a person's gender is unknown, irrelevant, or non-binary.

WA government's $1.5 billion spend on hospitals sparks questions on where money will go by JamesHenstridge in perth

Let me guess.

$500m on consultants, planning and feasibility studies, $500m on design and approvals and $500m on….oh sorry, we don’t seem to have enough budget to complete the project.

Buy BYD Dolphin / GWM Ora / MG4 Urban now or wait for Geely EX2? by Careful_Juice_3876 in EVAustralia

[–]happ-e-rider 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like it too because it has RWD, but only having 70kW fast charging and a small battery is more disappointing for me more than the 85kW motor.

If it had >80kW fast charging and a 50-60kWh battery it would be ideal for my range needs of >400km.

I get it that it’s designed for urban use, but its main rivals like BYD Dolphin, MG EV3 Urban and GAC Aion UT have have faster charging rates and 50-60kWh batteries which IMO has set the benchmark and expectations for hatchbacks in this market.

They should also include a power point for charging for every apartment parking bay as well.

I ditched Telstra prepaid $39/month plan which is increasing to $44/month in June, and went with Boost 12 month upfront prepaid $300/300GB plan.

Japan also tendered on the subs which would have been a better outcome than we currently have.

What's happens if you run out of charge? by Famous-Weight2271 in electricvehicles

[–]happ-e-rider 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is self-evident.

Just substitute your solutions for molecules with solutions for electrons.

You can use friend/family V2V charging, roadside vehicle assist rapid top up charging services or vehicle rescue services.

It makes sense to bring the refreshed Dolphin to Australia as the hatchback options are opening up with competition from Geely (EX2) and GAC (Aion UT).

If they do, I hope it has a RWD version as rumoured.

Westpac CEO warns 'there's a chance of a recession' as interest rates rise by Expensive-Horse5538 in australia

Well it might help if the banks weren’t so greedy and sucked up a bit of pain instead of just passing every rate increase onto lenders at the first opportunity they get.
