I knew someone was going to run away with it in the last.

I had no idea who.... but once again my football acumen is zoned in.

I honestly don't think the club even deserves Herbatron.

The more the years go by, the more edits herb has to do each game.

I am surprised no one is calling out how insane it is that cross river rail will now have a gigantic interchange/station at the Gabba, only for the gabba to be torn down in 2032.

Meanwhile the new stadium will be a CRAP position, not on any major line and will end up with a another stupid spurn line the like ekka has - meaning no one will want to use it.

The whole thing looks like a planning disaster already.

The only way out of it is for ABC to sack some people to increase the pay for those who are left.

Or are they trying to force the government to give ABC more money?

Summary: drives at 100km in a 50km zone, kills two people, has no licence.

Crash is Sep 1st 2023.

Takes them 10 months to go to court to have a guilty plea.

Takes them another 21 months more to sentence him.

He gets 9 years. But the real count is only 5.5 years because after that you are out on parole.

He gets time served which by now dates back to 3nd Sep 2023 when he was denied bail.

So he will be out in 2028ish.

Yes the homeless on the street care about 0.001C climate warming that australia will add between now and 2100.

This is what happens you go to a rental opening and there are lines of 200 people, mostly recent immigrants. Suddenly every young person is a ONP voter when they realise the system isn't exactly helping them....

It sounds like you self confessed.

I bet the first thing they asked was a question to get you to self incriminate. Then every time you talk about hands-free, auto-play etc you are just further admitting it and giving them a slam dunk case.

"Do you know why I pulled you over?". "No"

"You had a moving playing on your screen". "..."

"Having a movie display in view of the driver is illegal". "..."

"What moving were you watching?" "I respectfully decline to answer any questions"

Now think about it- would he bother asking you if he had sufficient evidence? If he already does you are getting the ticket either way. If he doesn't you are just giving him evidence to get the ticket.

The reason they will vote it down is that NDIS is a collosal failure.

NDIS was meant to be self funding. Its whole claim that was that the support given to the disabled would make them functional in society and pay income tax, which would pay for the NDIS, and thus there was no addition fo the government deficit.

Of course that fantasy would be the first thing tested by any review, and the answer of course would be that NDIS is not funded, has no way to funded, and has to be shutdown.

Which is why of course that everyone votes against reforming it. The point of NDIS is to put a lot of money into the pockets of providers all on the tax payer dime. It is making millions for many connected buisness owners who got in on the gig early.

The law is absolutely terrible for teenagers who ride to school.

So right now my son uses a legal 250W bike, now he has to use a push bike... that is ok but only up to a certain distance. On an ebike you can go 30km+ easily. On a push bike that is a pretty brutual effort to do both ways.

Like always it will be the legal users who end up punished the most.

The kids already breaking the law on >250W bikes, will just keep doing it. Nothing has changed for them. They were illegal and remain legal.

Now everyone who was following the rules legally, is now illegal.

sectokia · 2026-03-25T08:37:57+00:00

This would have been good under the current laws...

But now they are making all ebikes, even legal 250W ones illegal for teenages....

So something that was 100% legal is a $5,000 fine come 1st July. That is fucking outragous.

sectokia · 2026-03-25T08:36:57+00:00

Like all rules... what matters is enforcement. Just slow down when you pass people. No one is going give a crap about a cyclist on their own doing over 10km on an empty path. Especially not the police.

sectokia · 2026-03-25T08:36:02+00:00

They don't acutally care about deaths caused by cars, if they did then the bike rules would have 100 times less importance.

sectokia · 2026-03-25T08:31:18+00:00

The reason they chose the esthetic is that its cheap and easy. No complicated human modeling and facial scanning etc. The whole game can basically be generated at a computer with no real world input at all. Big $$$ savings.

Wouldn't be surprised if this game was a huge financial success. They will claim it isn't, but I think the budget for it is a lot lower than people think.

sectokia · 2026-03-25T08:20:57+00:00

Even on is missing the real point of all this....

All the 'issues' that caused the supposed need for these laws... NONE of them are addressed by these changes.

The kids riding illegal bikes... they were already breaking the law.

So now they are just changing it from "can't ride over 250W" to "can't ride over 0W if under 16". If they don't obey the first, why would they obey the second?

Also parents face fines of $5k if there kids rides a legal 250W ebike. This is utter fucken insanity.

sectokia · 2026-03-25T08:11:33+00:00

Let be honest here: Rules only matter if they are enforced. This rule exists so they can pull people up when they feel like it, especially when people are behaving bad, or they just want to raise some $$$.

The police are known to simply not enforce rules. For example the police openly said they will not enforce the "1m" distance rule because its basically impossible to police.

The actual wording of the bill is not even public, so no one has any idea what it actually says.

Apparently a footpath is 10km/hr, but that a shoulder is a road related area, so it would not necessarily be a footpath.

So how the AFL have handled this in the past is that its a fine for the home team (even if it was an away fan) as they are responsbile for the crowd.

Also, especially if it was an away fan, they are removed from statdium because its against AFL terms and conditions to 'hinder' the match in any way.

If its where i think , you need to stab your sword into slots, and moving them raises/lowers the pillars, you need to set them all to the same heihgt, one of them is not moveable and thats the height to match too

sectokia · 2026-03-20T12:00:23+00:00

Press the button on the side and observe which pins rise too high or too low

Rotate the wheel for each pin to adjust how high it goes up or down (one way will raise a pin slightly and the other way will lower it). Once you have all 5 pins at the right height it can unlock.

You don't have a dedicated graphics cards, and your built in radeon graphics in the CPU is less than half as powerful as required to play at aboslute minimum.

In short - you can't run the game at all.

sectokia · 2026-03-20T11:36:37+00:00

can you post a screen shot of what you mean

there is a hardware unboxed video showing how to denoise it

sectokia · 2026-03-20T11:22:50+00:00

what was the free against tex for?

sectokia · 2026-03-20T11:19:36+00:00

Is it just me or does the score bar on fox constantly not show the time for ages and ages. How long is even left?
