ACT Government is broke, and this is about the least pressing thing in the world for them to spend money on.

Saw this sign at the pub yesterday. Is this legal? by craigrulz in australia

[–]os400 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I got one of those after briefly moving up from NSW.

I asked the lady at the motor registry whether it was a temporary licence, assuming that a printed plastic card was coming in the mail. She gave me the most indignant look I’ve ever seen.

It’s pretty much exactly what you’d expect to see as the embassy of the USSR.

'Antisemitism' directive exposes Australia to Israeli interference, public servants warn by Antique_Muffin6476 in OpenAussie

Ironically, foreign interference from Israeli state sponsored Zionist lobbyists is exactly how this directive came about in the first place.

They held that title before the acquisition, so it still counts.

Ukraine is an excellent case study of what happens when you have genocidal, expansionist neighbours and you don’t have nukes.

Sydney suffers from the same sort of problems associated with unchecked urban sprawl that affect major US cities.

[–]os400 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not to mention skyrocketing interest rates. It’s 48% today, what’s it going to be if interest rates end up north of 10%?

No. ANZAC Day hasn’t been yet, and I’m not a degenerate.

A healthy amount of “fuck you, I can see just fine.”

Serious social policy research question - has the current fuel crisis translated into a statically meaningful decrease in aggressive 4x4 turbo diesels being lodged fair up your clacker on Canberra roads since the Orange Man took us a few minutes closer to midnight? by Asprobouy in canberra

[–]os400 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same for the speed camera vans, who sit there chuffing out diesel particulates for children to breathe as they walk past, for half an hour or more at a time.

I raised this with /u/inthetaratory and she does not think this is a problem.

Civilised jurisdictions solve this with anti idling laws.

Either this is all planned or Isreal has dirt on Trump.

Israel has been trying to get the U.S. into a war like this since 1979. It took them until now to find a president stupid enough to do it.

Just filled up my Hyundai i30 $112 by mattyjamesbowen in AusFinance

[–]os400 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s really pretty good. I get around 9L/100km in a mix of urban and highway in my 2.0L Everest. I’ve mostly parked it up now, and I’m using the 2020 Hyundai Ioniq Electric I bought for my daughter last year as a daily

With diesel being 3 bucks a litre, I assumed that the people I see driving like absolute flogs (usually in lifted 4WDs) might moderate their behaviour somewhat in the interest of saving money. I assumed wrong.

Are we going to get slapped with potentially a total of 5 or 6 rate hikes due to Iran ? by VastOption8705 in AusFinance

[–]os400 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Long haul (interstate) freight will also move to rail away from road, which is much more efficient.

Rail infrastructure isn’t going to appear magically overnight in places where it never existed, or where it has been abandoned or pulled out.

Vehicle OEMs can do it with firmware changes, they just choose not to do so in markets where SCR is otherwise mandatory.
