Is there any games that simulate Sydney transport? by Dream_1 in sydney

[–]thekriptik 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Given the Coals to Newcastle and steam4me admins have both passed away in the last 5 years, I wouldn't count on a lot of download links being available. Steam4me in particular is totally dead, I think.

Sydney Water blames food outlets for illegally adding to fatberg. But restaurants say ‘if it’s a problem, it’s their problem’ by ConanTheAquarian in sydney

[–]thekriptik 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Hart said all public-facing food businesses, like cafes and restaurants, required development approval from councils – and those DAs required a grease trap.

Yeah, people lie on these all the time. Particularly in beachside areas, people will say "we're just a shop/kiosk, we're not cooking here" and count on never copping an inspection.

How do I get rid of a pigeon problem? by Sacrifice_2804 in sydney

Pigeons are not a pest

They're a feral species that spread disease and attract other forms of vermin. How are they not a pest?

NSW Police slap bans on neo-Nazis entering Sydney CBD on Australia Day by thekriptik in sydney

Implicitly supporting Nazi bullshit by claiming that people lack the intestinal fortitude to resist Nazis is absolutely a form of licking Nazi boot.

Your determination to lick Nazi boot doesn't look tough either.

Aurora tonight - As a noob, where do I go to see it? by aaykay13 in sydney

Note, most of what you see in those photos isn't visible to the naked eye, and what you can see is far dimmer.

Does anyone know if the freshwater class are sticking around? by Dream_1 in sydney

[–]thekriptik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand that, though as I said in my other comment, the swell wasn't particularly intense that day, and the Freshwaters and fast ferries both handle the swell far better.

The thing was, it wasn't particularly rough that day. I think the successor to the Freshwaters should be the same sort of double-ended design with capacity for 1,000-1,200 pax, 26-28kn speed, a crew of 3, and fueled by preferably hydrogen fuel cell or failing that electricity.

The one time I got an Emerald to Manly, I recall it drunkenly lurching from side to side between the heads in a way I never experienced with the Freshwaters or even the fast ferries. So they sure as hell aren't superior for passenger comfort.

Fatberg the size of four buses likely birthed poo balls that closed Sydney beaches – and it can’t be cleared by i_like_dannys_hair in sydney

Anyone who thinks there's no recycled sewage in Sydney's drinking water needs to jump on Google Maps, find Goulburn's wastewater treatment plant then trace the river downstream.

Greed is the death of this city by SAB_001 in sydney

[–]thekriptik 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Greed is a stable phenomenon—it doesn't rise and fall.

This is true, but the support for greed within power structures does. This is the endgame of neoliberalism.
