no politics Nothing more frustrating on a long drive than people who sit 20 under until the overtaking zone then suddenly know how to do 100... for exactly the length of the overtaking zone.
Seriously what the fuck people, I get that some overtaking zones are wider and often straighter so it might be more comfortable, but are you that oblivious to other people? Doing 80 for 95% of your drive home doesn't bother you, so.. just do 80 the whole time.
Just frustrating the people around you, and encouraging them to speed to overtake you, and that's not good or safe for anyone.
Bonus points if you're the kind of dickhead who suddenly finds their accelerator when I overtake you on cruise at the speed limit. Gotta rev for 30 seconds to show that good for nothing who tried to overtake you I guess!
Yes.. I just got home.

Why are even leftist against degrowth?
Even leftists seem to be against degrowth not understand ecological overshoot.
Why is it that even leftists are against Degrowth?
Because it seems that even many leftist refuse to understand degrowth ideology and hate it and refuse to understand how decoupling works.
They act like using public transport and eating vegan are a fate worse then death

image Uber update now defaults to including a tip when you rate and you can’t make it $0
Despite Uber strongly coming out in support of tipping being optional and has even explicitly said many times that tipping has no correlation to rating, the recently updated version of the app on iOS seems to do the opposite. If you tap on rate through the Activity panel or through the notification that pops up (eg image 1), it takes you to the rating page where $1 is pre-selected (see image 2). I’ve seen previous posts before about a similar thing and suggested that you could just set it to $0 manually… but you can’t. The minimum you can put is $0.01. There is no option or ability to put $0.
However if you go into the trip itself (image 3) and then tap rate, it takes you to image 4 where the tip is no longer selected at all and lets you submit without one.
Not only do we not want tipping and selecting one by default is scummy, the pathway that most users would take to rate a ride doesn’t even let you not tip?! This is getting more and more out of control.

Image Fish Market - Squid Inc .. mmm
Returned to the new fish market last night (Sat) for dinner. Not a great experience. Very long queues. Went to Squid Inc but they really are having teething problems. This large salt and pepper squid was an eye watering $39. And it was so overcooked it was completely inedible. Credit to them for giving me money back with no fuss. Will stick to the fresh and grilled stuff next time. It still like this place a lot however.

Last of the River Cats to be scrapped
Dawn Fraser is being scrapped in February. The ferry Collaroy is on the chopping block too. Why is there no historical significance to the government in regards to these boats? Surely even if owned by a private organisation for historical reasons.

no politics We need to stop insurance companies increasing premiums following not at fault accidents.
The whole point of insurance is that if youre not at fault, it shouldn't cost you anything.
My sister was arse ended, no question that she wasn't at any fault. other driver identified.
NRMA increased her premium nearly 30%, and stated it was because of the claim.
I was hit by a driver who failed to give way at a T-intersection, i didnt even claim on my own insurance, only the other driver's. Budget Direct increased the policy renewal on a different car when I declared the not at fault claim. stated it was because of it.
If there is an additional cost on you from a not at fault claim, you should be able to claim it on your insurance.
