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.

My girlfriend’s dad when I first met him rotated his 4wd tires by hand with the spare tire wrench and the little complementary tire jack. I gave him my old air tools (I don’t use them anymore). Eventually got him into the Ryobi ecosystem for the rattle gun, leaf blower and line trimmer. He was adimint that any battery tools were just a gimmick.

You don’t need the Milwaukee million dollar aircraft carrier starter motor gun, heck my second hand air tools were enough. But to go without battery tools nowadays is just making life deliberately harder.

On country roads it is a lot less stressful for you and the trucker if you have a cb radio. You don’t need a massive areal and all wired in, just a little handheld for to communicate to a truck in front or behind.

Say you’re towing a caravan at 90kmh. You can just say to the truck behind “white land cruiser and van to linfox truck, I’m slow, in 3km there’s a overtaking area I’ll let you go around.”

The Liberal party literally wrote all their questions to the Yes campaign and they refused to answer any of them.

Lidia Thorpe is an example of someone who thinks they are superior to everyone else, and who thinks everyone owes her something.

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.

Spark plugs just do them yourself. It’ll take 5 minutes. They might be trying to sell you the fancy iridium plugs, which are pointless in a 21 year old car. Brakes, if you don’t know how to to it, get a mechanic. It’s not hard, just takes a few hours if it’s you first time. Thousands of good YouTube videos if you want to do it yourself.

And people vote for Republicans? Are they retarded?

People will put change into a jar at the front of a cafe if they want, usually a dollar or so. Sometimes the money is for a charity run and not even for the cafe. At a fine dining restaurant yes you’d probably tip for great service.

At a bar for instance you wouldn’t tip. That would be strange.

If the Teals have the funding behind them of course, but because they are not an organised party, it would be difficult for them to run a campaign and gather enough support.

2022 was very good for the independents, but overall, that’s not a common result. The Teals pretty much fill the vacuum between Labour’s centre right MPs, and Dutton’s wacky right wingers

So they don’t want to get into government.

They won’t have a path to 76 seats if they can’t win back the Teal seats. Seems like they’ve given up on that, and they are trying to rally their right wing base in QLD just to keep hold of that region.

Wow that’s amazing. Shows you that sometimes it’s better to upgrade to more efficient things than to keep an old thing running.

This might sound strange, but buying a new fridge.

My old 80s Gumtree fridge used according to my power company app around 3-3.5kw a day.

I looked online and bought a new 5 star efficiency for fridge for $1000 with delivery which is roughly 750w a day.

Yeah English police are much more welcoming than the US police.

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.

Most vans have a greater payload than a lot of 4 door duel cabs, they offer more storage, more security，a lower loading floor height, more accessibility with side access and greater resale.

But yeah gotta get my Chevy.
