  • I dont know the actual justification behind it but i would say:

    1. The Liberal party here love protecting business interests and giving pretrochem companies huge incentives, tax breaks, etc to take our resources and they probably get hard for how much more fuel they can sell here.
    2. Australia has inexplicably bad fuel standards, as such car manufacturers dump their shittest engines here which run on this low grade fuel and every time we talk about reforming this the manufacturors run a scare campaign about how much extra cars will cost if they have to meet these standards and the Libs have been jumping on that.

    As to the big cars thing, we have typically had quite regular sized cars and our typical tradesperson vehicles (called "Ute's" here, "trucks" in the USA) were significatly smaller than their american equivilants, but local manufacturing shut down and now we buy from whats available on the market. Also the laws around taxing work vehicles is worded in such a way that bigger cars get taxed differently and incentivises people buying these cars and slowly our car sizes are increasing and more and more giant 'Yank Tanks' are appearing on our roads. And couple this with car manufacturers slowly changing the publics idea of what a 'family car' is from a large sedan to a small suv to a full blown suv or 4x4 7 person tank.

  • May i reccomend skipping the middle man and buying a loaf of crusty bread?

  • This is my expereince, a good PM manages expectations and pushes back on the builder from trying to forge ahead with construction when the staging isnt right or areas arent ready, instead of being yes men and cracking the whip to make tradies get things done to appease their superiors. And they will negotiate cross-trade eith other PM's or tradies to see what arrangements will make mutliple parties happy when there are clashes and try keep things uninterrupted so everyone can keep ticking away at their own tasks.

  • I have done the same but gone to check my calendar to see if i had already booked something that day.

  • Also notable, the increase was boosted by asain and hispanic mothers, the exact people that the MAGA Reich is exporting as quick as they can.

  • Im pretty sure a lot of these tracking widgets are invisible/zero size/offscreen too, so its not just a 'click here to share' button but purely a User_ID36ax48dd99y42s52l840a2648 visited this site at 15:37:23 on 20250405 and looked at X.

  • Exactly. Animorphs.

  • Wait, that jackass's second name is Donald and he isnt claiming that for extra MAGA cred?

  • Exactly.
    Break it down kids, its pronounced par-mi-gi-ana, and what does that sound like when you shorten it? Par-mi, Parmy.

    Where the fuck did the "a" come from in 'parma'‽ Are we just going to start shortening down words and tacking the last letter on now, is that what we are doing?

  • I honestly wouldnt be suprised the the reaction and public sentiment towards what Gas said would be different now given that MAGA have started burning down not just the USA but also the global economy and power balances.

  • The song is 'Happiness by the kilowatt' by Alexisonfire.

    (Which itself is a reference to 'The Euphio Question' by Kurt Vonnegut)

  • If you actually want one look in the child/toddler area of big box store and you will probably find a single_step riser box, it actually helps you poo because you raise your knees up more and this straightens out the bowls for free-flow. (The asian squat is next level for this)

  • After like an hour of foreplay, right?
    ...

    Right?

  • Also the whole reason there is a jury?
    To counteract the system that one person is the deciding factor. People are imperfect, bribable, blackmailable, make mistakes and have biases.
    I have biases, i know some of them and others i am blissfully unaware of, but they are there.

    And i bet there are a LOT of things about how the system works that lawyers and judges know, but us regular people dont so if we do have an advantage they dont know about then i dont see why we arent allowed to use that tool at our disposal.
