They are brilliant. Those little NPR light rigids are much easier to drive than people realise. Available with an automated manual, good turning circle and great visibility. Sure at 100kmh they are pretty loud and bumpy (the little 3L 4cylinder at 2800rpm), but if your in say Melbourne or Sydney, most driving is 80kmh and below. If you do a lot of highway, the 5.2L 4 cylinder goes well with a 6 speed and much more aggressive engine breaking.

Give some ear plugs to the whales

They are selling right hand drive converted Yank Tanks in Australia. They are double the price after shipping, rhd conversion and making them compliant. They don’t fit on our roads at all and are very restricted with payload and towing because of car licence weight restrictions. To tow more you need a truck license (light rigid).

They also have no spare parts here in Aus. Plenty of “overlanders” spending $25k to get it towed out of the outback, back to a major city and get parts flown in from Detroit. They are too heavy and wear out components on the dirt. They are built for highway only

If you want a “truck” in Aus, you buy an Isuzu or Mitsubishi cab-over truck which is like US$35,000 with a tray or box.

Door dasher in Australia here: after about 500 completed orders, I can say I’ve been tipped once, by this old lady like A$5.

Tipping is stupid. I’m not incentivised to do anything better. The app would just give everyone crappier orders if everyone tipped.

But how did he take the picture?

Yamaha coming up their their products

I’ve ended a relationship because the girl drove like an impatient bafoon. If you have a superiority complex about a speed limit in residential areas, I’ll sit in the passenger seat railing about how you’re such a shit driver. Just drive the speed limit and gently.

And people vote for Republicans? Are they retarded?

It’s about as annoying as young people abandoning any and all punctuation entirely the amount of people that will write an entire paragraph and not use a single period is obscene if you can’t bother to organize your thoughts in the most minimal way I’m going to assume you have nothing of worth to say and just won’t read it and frankly, if what you’re saying is so boiler plate you don’t need punctuation then you really don’t have anything to add so probably just shouldn’t

Plus Tesla’s for the Australian market are built in China. Heck, I think some of the new BMWs are built in China now as well.

Because the Australian Teslas and Volvos are made in China. It’s a Chinese EV. Volvo is owned by a Chinese Company.

Don’t count your hens I remember when all the consoles had backwards compatibility, until they didn’t.

Hang on hang on hang on let me spend $100,000 on consultants to tell me what I want to think.

Person who was charged and put on trial for murder died. It’s a legal term. Journalists can get sued for defamation for blatantly calling someone who is not convicted a rapist or murderer. You can safely call OJ an armed robber and kidnapper though.

That’s why the talking heads on tv tend to dance around the terminology and say “allegedly” and “accused of”

“Hi, uh good morning, is this the place where I say my thoughts out loud and potentially put myself and my family in danger?”

“Yes it is.”

"Oh thanks. Well can you write ‘I can’t wait for all the Palestinians (including women and children) are shot or starved to death so we can bulldoze their homes and communities to build some luxury condos for my billionaire buddies.’ "

“…naire buddies. All done sir, was their anything else?”

“Not at the moment thank you madam.”

I think your you got your righty tighty lefty loosely muddled up.

I don’t get this argument as a non American. Is the presidential a total vote regardless of geography? Most democratic countries you vote for local member. A lot of countries share the problem of progressives living close together and landsliding one electorate, but have no horses in other rural seats.

In Australia the standard story is the Liberal (conservative) party getting the most first preference votes, followed by Labor (centre left) then the Greens (progressive) coming 3rd but giving enough preferences for Labor to win.

That or Saudi Riyal. People are going to vote for this guy?

If people think porn is too “accessible”, look up New York Time’s Square in the 70s and early 80s. The whole town was practically porn central.
