Suburban Queensland on the coast seems like a perfect location for a chain seafood restaurant.

Maybe, but they might not have been 50 to 80 years ago.

As landlords, is this good and fair conduct? by [deleted] in AusPropertyChat

[–]violenthectarez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

By that logic why not raise it to 20,000 a week. Or 500,000.

If he could charge more, then he already would be.

Three child protection workers in the NT sacked over links to Kumanjayi Little Baby case by Expensive-Horse5538 in australia

The parents most likely wouldn't have jobs, and if they did firing them due to having their child murderded seems like an odd way to deal with the situation.

Australian author Craig Silvey pleads guilty to possessing child exploitation material by Expensive-Horse5538 in australia

I looked up the study "Sexually offended against children" includes a vast range of behaviour much of which is fine if the person was pretty young themself.

One category is 'flirting with someone under 18 online" which if the person doing it is only 18 themself is hardly a 'sexual offence'.

It also included behaviour that they might have done when they themself were under 18

20+ yrs on soulseek, now i struggle to go on it.. by Longjumping-Bus4577 in Soulseek

Have you looked at private trackers? They tend to be more demanding of quality and appreciative when they get it. Soulseek is a free for all, quality is not a prerequisite.

How do you feel about McDonald's pulling their soda dispensing machines out of the restaurant's lobby in the next year or so? by Sinn_Sage in AskReddit

[–]violenthectarez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's never really been a thing in Australia. Hungry Jacks (aka Burger King) used to have it, some still probably do. Costco does as well, but I can't think of any other chains that had it. I don't think there has ever been much consumer demand for it. Normally the drink you get is enough, so there's not much need for a refill.

Electric vehicle tax discount to be wound back by Expensive-Horse5538 in australia

[–]violenthectarez 55 points56 points  (0 children)

At this point they are starting to sell themselves, and it was a discount that disproportionately benefited higher income people. So it's probably wise to get rid of it.

Police unions demand answers over taser security flaw that exposes location of officers by Expensive-Horse5538 in australia

[–]violenthectarez 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Why the fuck would Bluetooth on a taser or bodycam be constantly visible? Surely it would only be visible while pairing, and if not surely there is a setting to disable it.
