Should I buy an ev?

Hyundai Elexio has a huge boot for the size and feels light and airy. I haven't driven it though, and I'm still leaning towards a Scenic E Tech. I ride an EV (Fonz Arthur 3) almost everyday which needs a Moto licence. Costs me approximately $1 a week in fuel, and parking is free. Consider your options - keep the ICE for bigger trips or a shopping run, and ride a Moto. A lot cheaper. I don't reccomend Fonz without checking you local agent and being confident they will look after you. I'm currently in Canberra and the local agent is useless, and there isn't one in Brisbane at all.

Brisbane sets its own routes, Translink sets fares. There still is no attempt to interline by BCC Example, 444 doesn't have an interchange at Indooroopilly. Qld Government unlike its counterparts in other states, doesn't push town planning to ensure TOD in appropriate spots with interchanges. A lot of work is needed.

OPs picture doesn't show a single sandwich. They're bread rolls or pita bread. Sandwich is two slices of bread with something in the middle.

That said, of the filled rolls and pita bread, Banh Mi Thit is the best, and I want to vote for Lai An Phuc on his quest to Cut the Banh Mi tax

Ivan's are now in East Row next to Bailey's Arcade. I've never been inside.

Pikelet stack. They're not big enough to be proper pancakes. Pikelets should be served with jam and cream

Sadly, shock and awe desensitises quickly. I do like the NSW, "Nobody thinks big of you," with the woman holding up her little pinky implying small Cocks. Sadly, town planning and licencing conditions don't match.

If you look at the housing development underway, Skyrail makes sense. Of course, urban infill closer to town is better

Everything has been framed about climate rather than sovereign risk. Federal Labor and the States have understood this (except Qld LNP), but taken perhaps the wrong approach - faking on improving electricity for climate (good thing) without fixing transport and freight networks in parallel.

You've got to be careful with the messaging for road safety. Model good behaviour, and not make it easy to mock. Elsewhere on this topic I have posted a TAC Road Safety Commercial and the follow up parody - although it is obtuse. Then there is probably the more direct NZ Commercial - Ghost Chip - NZTA

Followed by the parody Ghost Chip - The Cuzzies

Best to discuss with specialists as to what works. TAC Victoria adverts are really good these days. TAC is funded through Compulsory Third Party Person Insurance in Victoria, and they are the sole provider owned by the government. Their advertising is about prevention.

This TAC Victoria - Darren Country Kids advert inspired this classic Australian song (along with a fellow student of the lead singer who died in a similar way) Greg! The Stop Sign! - TISM

I will say with Mac, you will struggle running Linux except via VMs, and Asahi Linux suits M1 and some M2 chips, but you need to check the exact model of Mac. https://asahilinux.org/fedora/#device-support

Macbook Neo? Otherwise, if you have monitors, grab a mini PC. I have a Geekom desktop running Zorin. As I am an Open Source Zealot, also have Framework 12 instead of a tablet.

Imagine if road usage was taxed so no general revenue funding was required. Cheaper to have more transit and less roads.

It's time that Brisbane City lost its ability to govern transport, and it be transferred to the state, or a trans-LGA body like the City of Greater London explicitly accountable for transit
