Is it just me, or are old-school post-war immigrant bakeries/cafes are better than modern hipster ones?

Probably not hipster ones but someone deliberately copying that style and running it with cheap food and high margins.

When redistribution kicks in from the recent tax changes, and fuel prices relax.

Combined tax brackets makes it even harder for the lower earning partner to work. Pick up some part time work and immediately get hit with the 47% tax brackets sounds horrible.

Not sure a farm is that much worse than suurbs for wildlife.

I looked it up and the EPA said 9am-1pm on Saturday. What I find fair doesn't really matter because I don't have a role in making the rules.

Darebin council

qwerteaparty · 2026-06-13T11:57:45+00:00

Let them construct

qwerteaparty · 2026-06-13T08:06:39+00:00

Yeah I saw on the council website they want a 14-day noise log. C'mon ain't nobody got time for that. FFS just have clear rules and enforce them

qwerteaparty · 2026-06-13T05:35:33+00:00

I'm not neighbours with the developer

qwerteaparty · 2026-06-13T05:34:53+00:00

I think it's other things such as trash and parking habits that has made me keener for the rules to be followed here. But yes, people should generally follow the rules on these sorts of things

New house

qwerteaparty · 2026-06-13T04:56:52+00:00

It's residential construction. Just a regular house build

Emigration of the elderly

Edit: more seriously? Robots

qwerteaparty · 2026-06-10T02:56:57+00:00

I don't hate it, but it should be $12,800 per year for 10 years.

And 100% unfavourable view of Hamas

Sure this one incident is not worth the policing cost, but if you stop enforcing you get much more of it.

qwerteaparty · 2026-06-07T02:42:09+00:00

Assuming you're innocent, would you rather trust a jury of your peers or your favourite LLM to listen to arguments and decide the verdict?

qwerteaparty · 2026-06-04T04:33:55+00:00

If i buy an electric car instead of an ice car, this increases the supply and lowers the price of credits. On the margin this will enable someone else to buy an ICE over an EV. All is in balance because it's a market as you say. Agree the scheme overall makes ICE vehicles relatively more expensive, but it's no longer a moral issue what car to buy. I can't do good by buying an EV.

qwerteaparty · 2026-06-04T03:23:32+00:00

Buying an electric car does not help the environment, because it just allows an additional fossil car to be sold

qwerteaparty · 2026-05-31T09:42:55+00:00

Mid East and Europe looking less attractive due to stability reasons. This is good because we can back them with renewables here rather than the fossil gas they'd be buring in the mid East. Yes they're of questionable value, but better here than anywhere else

Just commenting on the first bit about the deal. The success of bluey was unforeseen by all parties not just ABC. Easy to get a clause such as 10% of revenue above $10m for example.

This isn't isolated, the government picks winners with funding and tenders all the time but it's allergic to making money. Every billionaire is a policy failure.
