My anecdata on a 2019 Volvo xc40 is that it’s my most reliable car ever? Made in china too

Oh yeah I’m a big fan of 911s (and fun cars in general) that’s why I’m always looking!
But I’m also a new Maserati owner and your Subaru friend is doing rookie depreciation numbers above…

That’s how it works now, for 5 bucks you just zoom down fastrak. Always blows my mind seeing 911s sitting in traffic instead of using it

Yeah I think it’s the water resistance, I bet it way below par

Ok I found this handy chart on a guardian article: https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2025/jun/12/sever...

Anecdata on QLD everyone knows banana boat is a scam. That sunscreen straight doesn’t work. The cancer council being on here is surprising though

Isn’t submitting the proposal to a jury that is 40% women explicitly asking women?

I spend a lot longer than candidates do on themselves if they have open source (or if an internal transfer, internal) code I can review.
50% that I’m terrified of bad hires, 50% I recognize the opportunity and gravity from their side so try to respect that.

Just bought a dream 7 and so far it’s the best router I’ve owned. The software portal is a cut above

Feral cats kill 2 billion birds a year, FYI the green energy kills birds thing is a right wing talking point designed to distract and delay. All human activity kills some nominal number of birds

Have you filed a feedback? Seems like the right next step.

I don’t think this is true though, as this chart from the city indicates: https://www.sf.gov/data--homeless-population

Also humans suck at driving compared to what we expect of machines

Ironically, my switch only has a bad frame rate when it’s on the dock / plugged into a tv.

I seriously wish the switch did something like this (and not just the OLED version, which I bought). I'd love to play Zelda with a better frame-rate.

This is the real world where science has redefined life expectancy and saves millions of lives a year, not a fictional will smith movie.

I think you are just looking at one specific issue on the wrong timescale. Palms will be greased and he will get what he wants.

Nope I said I was going to California for a job interview, the golf thing just came up as they peppered me with questions about what I like to do on the weekend.

I don’t know, I think we should have started detaining US citizens for 20 minutes in Australia to reciprocate the delays caused by Trump era USA interview requirements. For reference, before boarding a plane to the USA you had to queue up to answer a bunch of dumb questions “what is your golf handicap” was one I got. Fortunately that ridiculous process stopped.
There is something to having a degree of quid pro quo and not just being a stepping stone to more powerful nations.
