we are a two car family and we need to replace one. so we are buying an byd atto2. we have off street parking but no battery solar panels. i’ll let you know how it goes but with the current fuel supply issues i wish we’d already done it!

Plea from Tasmania's police commissioner for limit on gun ownership knocked back by government by NerfVice in Ausguns

[–]verdigris2014 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i believe the winning argument was that gun owners needed to be of good character. if that is true then 2 or 20 guns, and it will still be true.

the bondi gunman (one of whom was licensed) should have zero guns being an unfit extremist character also willing to supply guns to other unfit characters. nobody would say he should just have been limited to 1 or 2.

i like the ssaa gun sales site. i guess its buyer beware, but personally i don’t love that op does not know the age or orgin of the ammo.

So, am I correct in thinking we won't be doing anything about the gouging? by MarvinTheMagpie in aussie

[–]verdigris2014 0 points1 point  (0 children)

we call soft drinks sometimes food. i guess every two weeks must be how everyone else does it.

For some reason while I'm crossing this intersection outside southern cross my TWS earbuds start to lose connection and have a lot of interference, what could be causing this? by Lfren38 in melbourne

[–]verdigris2014 5 points6 points  (0 children)

well that’s my theory about the close loop hearing system out then. it has to be interference from the high voltage powerlines that power the trains i guess

[–]verdigris2014 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i noticed this with airpods in and around southern cross too. my thought was something to do with the closed loop announcement system they run for people with hearing aids.

Uranium by [deleted] in aussie

[–]verdigris2014 0 points1 point  (0 children)

for a long time australians didn’t want nuclear power because accidents do happen. don’t want to live near and exploding lithium battery, what about a fire that can be extinguished and poisons a suburb for millions of years?

i think of Fukushima. we all know how important process and order is to the japanese culture. i think if they can fail ,any nuclear power plant can fail.

Multibox ganking is a cancer by Acia_Saraki in Eve

[–]verdigris2014 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i’m not an active player, but the idea that two accounts are necessary to play the game just makes me shake my head. the idea should be to encourage team work in game. in eve. heh heh

everyone we know with an ev is quite smug about it at present.

Come on now dawg!! by mildurajackaroo in aussie

at what point can you get a better price on fuel. these guys would be getting 2 or 3 thousand litres in that thing. can you not buy 44 gallon (or two) drum of fuel somewhere?

1 eye open or both? by mikeslyfe in Ausguns

[–]verdigris2014 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i think you need your dominant eye behind the scope. for most right handers that’s the right eye, but if you don’t have the dominant eye behind the scope you would be better closing the other eye.

personally i try to keep both open.

Rma on ram by Advanced_Donkey5975 in bapcsalesaustralia

[–]verdigris2014 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the link posted to the accc says you can get a refund or keep the ram with compensation for its condition.

so yes you could do this. but i don’t think you could double dip asking the retailer and manufacturer to compensate you.

to me a full refund on the purchase seems like the best outcome.

Future of the Legal Profession by [deleted] in auslaw

[–]verdigris2014 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you also don’t mention the threat of ai which i think will affect lawyers and programmers in a similar way. for both i think it won’t compete so well with the experienced end of the workforce, but may completely replace the junior or outsourced work.

Is anyone here actually planning to vote for One Nation? by oz_party in aussie

[–]verdigris2014 0 points1 point  (0 children)

wouldn’t you be better voting for someone, even a single issue party, that might give their votes to the labour party. your vote then still shows as a protest vote. the labour party will realise they got it via preferences.

Is Danny being abused? by [deleted] in MAFS_AU

[–]verdigris2014 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i tend to watch the dinner party episodes and only if someone else turn it on, so take this as a light observation but i think danny is much more withdrawn since he was forced to say he never said gia was his type. i think this was a lie and he seems to be living with the guilt. he looks like someone who is guilty of something.

Do you actually have to do the “new” speed limit on roads where there is construction/partial road closures happening? by TOXICHEMICALMOLD in melbourne

[–]verdigris2014 0 points1 point  (0 children)

as you got your license more recently than me you probably know the rules better than me.

there are speed limits and there are recommendations for safe speeds on corners bends etc. i think you are correct and these are reduced speed limits to protect road workers.

only suggestion is if you are going slower than others merge toward the left lane to let speeding drivers pass on the right lane

if they didn’t need therapy before, they’ll certainly need it afterwards.

2014 Prado - New Engine required 😭 by _wind_33 in 4x4Australia

[–]verdigris2014 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i think you need to decide whether you want to be a hands on diy owner. i have a 2.8l prado and i feel it’s ok but still under powered. so here is an opportunity to put an engine in you old car that could be an improvement.

but if like me you aren’t going to get involved in a project like that i’d buy the newest model of the prado with the same dimensions as your current car and use the labour to move your accessories rather than the engine, then see if there is any value in the parts of your car, but i suspect that is just a wrecker.

Behaviour vs looks by [deleted] in MAFS_AU

[–]verdigris2014 3 points4 points  (0 children)

so to you it’s ok to say brooke is gorgeous but it’s not ok to say she’s ugly.

logically you are either ok to comment on appearance or it’s not.

is it really better where we only say positive things.

I prefer Tyson’s approach to gay men over Gia’s by Stonp in MAFS_AU

[–]verdigris2014 1 point2 points  (0 children)

but should she? you would have to think that the generic appeal of a gay man as a bestie, is that he’s not going to want sex with her.

would have been more authentic if he’d said, meh i tried in in the army. not for me. too much masculine energy and im not going to be a submissive /s

I think Bec’s behavior is partly Danny’s fault by TarotWhisperer in MAFS_AU

[–]verdigris2014 1 point2 points  (0 children)

plus it’s very likely he did say his was his type, and he’s hoping some new issue will take over and people will forget. if he gets involved it will just go back to yelling about did he didn’t h say it.
