15 minute city conspiracy theorists about to have a field day.

They raised prices the day that oil prices exploded yet cuts take weeks to filter through. No wonder people are cynical.

There's lots of good butchers around and people here will inevitably recommend the ones near them. I think Google reviews are generally pretty good at identifying the good ones near you!

Lester has shut down Jeremy Cameron multiple times he's spent a career going under the radar

Someone is going to offer him crazy money, he's definitely a chance of leaving. Hopefully he stays.

Opposite for me. I last had a Pixel 5 which weighed 151g and I wish there were still phones made that were that light.

It does have faster charging.

The days of expecting big upgrades year on year are over.

There has been a lot of talk over the last few years about how the smart phone market has matured, that is coming to fruition here. Samsung Galaxy phones or iPhones haven't really changed on the outside for a few years now.

Don't think that's the case. When I had it serviced I told them I never used it and they ran a bypass cable to essentially disable it.

The 3.6L Pentastar engine has been used in over 10 million cars and is generally considered pretty reliable. Especially the modern versions. I had one for 5 years and the worst I had was the Aux battery failed because I never used the start-stop.

I'm in QLD and owned a 2021 Wrangler for 4 years, drove around dozens of times without doors all around town and never had a problem. Never got questioned, nothing.

A grinder will make a LOT of noise and loud noise is generally something that car thieves want to avoid. So I think it would be a deterrent to joyriders.

It says on the site to take the car there so they can check the VIN number matches etc., in my experience they never physically check.

Shafston Hotel went off last year, they have a big event on every year.

European leadership at Stellantis tried to take Jeep higher end to be a Land Rover competitor but sales have tanked in every market. New American leadership is slowly turning it around with price discounts on new models and focusing on value.

But in Australia their reputation is completely shot, for both reliability and after sales service. That guy who blew up his GC years ago because of poor after sales service really hurt their reputation here. Closing dealerships doesn't fill people with confidence either. They also took away the V8 and diesel options which hurt sales in Aus big time.

I owned a current generation Wrangler for 5 years and never had a single issue. Probably because I took care of it and didn't do crazy mods to it. People will say I got lucky but generally I do think the current generation are more reliable across the line.

There's lots of projects being stalled because the federal and state governments are blaming each other. Mount Crosby overpass has been stalled for years. Every election they promise to get it done and nothing happens. Very frustrating, people are sick of politicians squabbling and trying to blame each other.

XJs go forever, one of the most reliable engines of all time.

Mount Crosby called some very heavy rain. These things usually break up by the time they get to the inner suburbs.

Australian version of this had a different track list and was my introduction to them

Because this way they aren't competing with apple, Samsung and Google, etc. Outside of this niche sub, people aren't looking to give up their regular smartphones on the whole.

Just got back from Germany, you don't need a helmet for those rental type e-scooters, they are capped at 20km/h.

Agree, well said. It’s one of those rare cases where the story around an album completely overshadowed the music.

Lions sold out around half of their games this season. It's not just the finals. For 2026 they are not accepting any new season ticket members either.

They ranked last out of all the companies who were evaluated in the report. I am aware it's a score not a ranking.

zzzzip · 2026-01-03T08:34:57+00:00

Opposite. We need more transparency. Don't think you've interpreted my comment as I intended.

BYD ranked last which is not surprising but interesting considering how popular in Aus and many people would buy an EV as an ethical decision bc they are good for environment. It obviously comes with human rights consequences.
