    Nutrition labels on packaged foods should also contain the information for “This is for when you monster the whole packet in one sitting”

    Cooking instructions should also not require me to preheat the oven. Dinner isnt coming out of a frozen cardboard box because I’m excellent about thinking ahead.


  • I am the guy with a ute (Australian for truck) but I dont come with. You can borrow it for as long as you need, it comes with a full tank and it comes back with one.

    Its a bit of a heap but it starts every time and runs all day. I cant justify the yearly expense to keep it around for the dozen or so times a year I need it. But my friends and neighbours get great value out of it so I do.


  • Your getting downvoted but at the core of it too many people want to occupy too little space.

    I personally think UBI should be applied selectively in order to make living in rural and semi rural areas more appealing and encourage people to retire early. Everyone wants to live where everything is and all the cool stuff happens but most of us are working too much and dont have enough money to do any of it.

    The idea of moving to a town of a few hundred people isnt very appealing unless you tell me that you can still get by without NEEDING to work.



  • Thats why Gran Turismo haters can fuck off.

    I owned a ps4 already and Id owned Gran Turismo as a casual gamer before I decided to give sim racing a go. I bought a $200 used wheel and pedals off marketplace and built a cheap rig for about another $200.

    It might be “Simcade” or whatever elitist gatekeepy shit people want to say but my total investment to suck at simracing is $500. You can spend $10,000 and still suck at Iracing.


  • I am a huge car guy. Removing an engine MAKES SENSE to me, I understand on a fundamental level how to get the best out of an engine and drivetrain but if I have to do literally any custom wiring I farm it out to a spark wizard who can tame the magic pixies that run up and down the rainbow spaghetti. FUCK WIRING.

    While I dont understand windows “fundamentally” Ive also been screwing with it since 1995, it makes sense. Linux just doesnt to me.


  • Also YT might be a soulless big tech giant with highly questionable ethics but they are literally a modern technological marvel with a how-to video on pretty much anything, niche and hobby content that “tv” and streaming would never touch and literally endless pure entertainment…

    They are not now nor have they ever been a public service. Frankly its a minor miracle that in this day and age that they have a purely advertising supported option for access.
