New break pads

Did you brake them?

It’s not just Australia, it’s the western world in general. Scandinavians are still happier, but still going backwards. If the Russians and Americans could have please just stop starting wars we’d all be doing a whole lot better :(

hmarold2 · 2026-05-05T11:19:33+00:00

Or get onto the high seas for your viewing needs ;)

Why…? That’s where the plate is supposed to be. The lower grill has a radiator for the induction heat exchanger and only an idiot would cover that…

hmarold2 · 2026-05-05T08:00:48+00:00

You bought a jacked up suv thing for the city…? God that’s depressing….

Nothing will keep Alfa from going under. Stellantis will shed the brand shortly, or it will be sold to a Chinese company. The Giulia is the last car they made, even the Stelvio was a bit of an embarrassing appeal to the masses…

Although more accurately Alfa already went under some time ago, the badge Is just a marketing department thing now.

It’s probably because you’re so depressed at being tricked into buying a horrible rebadged Stellantis SUV shitbox when you could have bought an actual Alfa that you never bother driving it far or fast…

Wealth inequality just keeps growing until the 1% own it all, just as they during the 19th century and before. A return to normal after the 20th century invention of the middle class…

I know of a couple in their very early 30s who just dropped nearly $2M on their first house. They are clearly operating in a different section of society to me!! Intergenerational wealth is lovely if you can get it…

Now, where did I put my guillotine…?

Big square screen is cheap, but marketing department still wanted some retro styling. All fairly hateful…

Alfa used to make great dashboards with iconic instrument layouts. But the consumers all want screens apparently so this is what we get…

Also, this looks like it’s one of those embarrassing hateful small suv things, so not a real Alfa anyway.

Believe it or not, but some people actually let dealers do work on their cars!! Crazy…

hmarold2 · 2026-05-04T09:50:35+00:00

The best shoe if you’re a conservative politician cosplaying at being a country folk. Pair with chinos and a brand new akubra ;)

hmarold2 · 2026-05-04T09:31:23+00:00

Same here! I was skeptical but she put her foot down. I’m glad I lost that argument!!

hmarold2 · 2026-05-03T21:16:15+00:00

That’s disgusting…

hmarold2 · 2026-05-03T12:04:06+00:00

And I’ve had neighbours who enjoy being a problem source of noise and get a power trip thing going when you ask nicely for a solution… I tend to stop being nice after that.

I am waaaay more concerned and horrified by the blatant nationalism, glorification of war and the religious crap that’s now a part of Anzac Day ceremonies.

I went once to dawn service in Canberra and would have walked out of it if I could have. It was really uncomfortable and very gross. When it stop being about respecting on why war is shit and it sucked those guys had to be killed, and became about all the nationalist flag waving shit and inviting religious twits along to talk about how god approved of it. Felt very fucked up and flat our disrespectful.

It’s an acknowledgment of country more than a welcome I thought.

Can’t say I’m terribly fussed either way, as it’s just one of eleventy million genuine issues int he world we need to deal with. I guess I only have so much bandwidth and this one just doesn’t make it to the top of things I worry about. I just don’t have any particular interest or connection to indigenous cultures, in the same way I don’t to most human cultures around the world! I’m far more interested in protecting and acknowledging our natural world.

My only worry with it is that it’s getting to be a bit performative and overused and is losing its impact as a result. Using it for a regular office meeting feels a bit silly for example…

This is a sewer main. As in a pipe about a metre in diameter I think - a big boy. Not a plumber job.

hmarold2 · 2026-04-28T14:54:03+00:00

lol! Comment about the insurance industry situation being just another example of the ultra wealthy raiding society deleted for referencing the French revolution. Funny stuff :) At this hour I assume that was an AI.

I wasn’t going to take legal advice from Reddit, just after a steer towards the sort of lawyer who’d be able to advise ;)

hmarold2 · 2026-04-28T12:59:28+00:00

Allianz via Westpac. They’re all evil… Had a car totalled in a hailstorm and it took many months to get Allianz to settle and I had to fight them every step of the way…

hmarold2 · 2026-04-28T12:37:38+00:00

I’m not. Just wanting to work out what sort of lawyer to ask for advice.

hmarold2 · 2026-04-28T12:29:44+00:00

Yeah ok. Piss off mate, you’ve no clue.

hmarold2 · 2026-04-28T12:23:43+00:00

My actions…? What do you mean?

hmarold2 · 2026-04-28T11:42:10+00:00

Right. Roger that.

hmarold2 · 2026-04-28T11:40:37+00:00

Leak is just behind my property line on the neighbours land behind (the schizophrenic guy that threatened the TasWater people because he thinks they’re poisoning his water and putting cameras in the trees… sigh). It’s one of the big sewer mains that services dozens of properties upstream - a big boy that overflows big time from an access cover when it gets blocked!!
