  • In my city the bus to downtown (CBD or “town”) is $8.69 one way. For my family of 5 we’re $43 bucks to get into town. One way. It’s $86 for the round trip.

    It’s cheaper to drive and pay $30 for pre booked parking for a family outing then it is to go via public transport.

    Even if we go off peak where the prices by approx half.

    Cost me $7 round trip to take the light rail to the other CBD (4km away). For the whole family it’s still cheaper to find street parking then to pub transport it.

    But when it’s one person it makes no sense to commute to work, $30 a day parking plus tolls (easily $50 to go to work) when I can do it for $17 a day.

    Still way too much. If I didn’t wfh as much as I do it would be a significant cost






  • Because reddit moderation has become utterly unbearable, insufferable bad.

    I’ve been using BBSs, newsgroups, MIRC, ICQ, a million ass forums and social media for almost 40 years now.

    I’ve never been banned from anywhere on the net (and before).

    And yet in the last three months I’ve been temp banned 3 times on reddit. All for their AI moderation systems misunderstanding Australian colloquialisms as threatening violence.

    It’s utter bullshit.

    People are leaving reddit as a result.



  • Are we talking form, coz a pizza in the form of a tokamak would be sick.

    Or are we talking ingredients, coz 30 years ago I used to order

    Pizza, thin tomato base. Cheese, tandoori chicken, corn, potato slices with avocado slices. It might have more stuff but the place closed down and no one else will make it for me.

    I would then layer salt and vinegar chips on that motherfucker.

    It was amazing.





  • Once my father was preparing a 15kg salmon for a big dinner party. The phone rang and he turned away for just a moment.

    Our three cats who had been strategically located around him used this moment to pounce. Working together they had leapt onto the bench and pulled it off.

    With a loud splat he came rushing back to find them merciless attacking the fish.

    (the meat with bite marks was strategically removed, and the cats rejoiced).

    The dog into trouble for not stopping the cats.

    Well no other animal has mastered Extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography either.

    Also this one time I shot up heroin whilst peaking on acid and MDMA whilst sucking a bulb of nitrous whilst having sex (fine it was a blow job)

    Even some of the more intelligent apes haven’t mastered that either




  • Sales down 1.2%? Still profitable on the order of billions? Better cut 7% of the workforce.

    My companies on paper “profit” (EBITDA) is 8% but I know for a fact that a lot of the billions of “cost” funnelled into capex is being embezzled.

    Because I work in a technical industry servicing secret squirrel stuff it’s basically auditors can’t audit and the government is very hands off (even if they could understand what we sell, which for the most part they don’t. Shit most of us don’t understand it either).

    Basically licence to do whatever you want.

    But because we didn’t hit the declared 11% target they cut the workforce by 10%. They’d didn’t even do an analysis. Basically the CTO just cut people based on their title.

    Fuckers
