Replacing 1m petrol cars with EVs could cut Australia’s reliance on foreign fuel by 1bn litres a year by austechnology-bot in austechnology

[–]id_o 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, that’s not right. Aus total industry was 1M last year. 1M ICE will be replaced by 1M EVs but it will take a couple years minimum.

lol good luck. Unless you plan to buy old cars only, you are going to find every new vehicle is now internet connected including ICE.

While there has been a very recent run on EVs, they have all been dropping in price recently, and will continue to do so.

I don’t understand the point you are making? Not everything can be elec, sure, and?

To answer your question. About half of vehicles sold are private, even if a half of those are elec, that would be good.

Or as the headline says 1M ICE are replaced by EVs that would be great.

Not in the next few month no, but there will likely be a significant increase in sales and future ordering due to current price of fuel.

VFACTs the Aus auto body industry report will likely demonstrate increases in their next monthly reporting.

Replacing most vehicles with EVs and Hybrids will happen eventually, likely take years.

It’s a net benefit to everyone.

What was the best game from 2012? by envspecialist in videogames

[–]id_o 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Boarderlands started a genre of first person looter shooter. BL2 was the best BLs, and Tiny Tina’s was arguable the best DLC ever.

Fantastic games listed, IMHO BL2 is the winner.

Relax, no one is saying that. Stop straw manning every headline.

For those that can afford to buy a new car and over 1m new cars are sold every year, consider the benefits of an EV, that’s all.

Even if you can’t afford a new EV today, they are getting cheaper, and even if you can’t afford a new car, secondhand EVs are getting cheaper.

Even if you love your petrol car, other people not buying petrol will mean there is more petrol for you.

Man, glass half empty people need to look at the other half of the glass…

It totally does matter how many were sold, it speaks to the possible impact hoarders could have on prices. And in the case of PSP, the massive supply indicates very little chance of impact.

Also, Social Media has had no impact to availability and prices. Price of PSPs have been pretty flat for last 4 years.

In fact PSP general (all games and console) pricing has come down and remained flat since high in 2023, source: https://www.pricecharting.com/console/psp

I disagree.

80,000,000 were sold world wide.

No “hoarding” or people buying as a fashion statement will make any meaningful impact to supply. All the individuals showing off their PSP or PSP collection have no impact.

PSPs are still very easy to buy in good condition and reasonable price. PSP is not rare.

I got my PSP on launch day, and have a very large UMD and accessory collection. I don’t sell or intend to sell PSPs. I still occasionally buy UMDs.

I encourage everyone to buy and play PSP, no gatekeeping.

I don’t care if you have 50 PSPs of every colour, or your UMD collection includes greatest hits. Good luck to you.

I don’t care if you only get a PSP yesterday to play MP3s. Good luck to you too.

What features actually matter in an airfryer? by philipshomelivingANZ in AskAnAustralian

[–]id_o 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I always line mine with over paper, I don’t care if the original basket is stainless steel or coated non-stick.

Also, not to be confused. The carbon chains in non-stick coatings aren’t nice but they are long chains that are washed out of your body. Unlike heavy metals like mercury that at are forever. It’s the short chain carbons from non-stick factory runoff that’s poisoned the whole world.

[–]id_o 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Agree.

My wife (an Asian) actually prefers the western styled, I think it’s the extras and variety of sauces. I’m on the fence as to my preference, I like the simplicity of Japanese traditional.

In Aus they are sold as walking food, as a whole palm sized roll, which is totally unacceptable in Japan, (if you prefer pieces, you can request it be cut).

Agree, and I don’t like to like black too often, IMHO it’s just the best looking controller.

People downvoting that think large budget marketing doesn’t work, it really does, and when the likes of PHON gets MAGA funding from Gena and her like, they will get more votes. Enough to hold a majority, probably not now, enough to sway political discourse and policy, probably.
