The only time people say “soda” where I am, is when referring to soda water, which is a specific drink. (And imo a terrible one)

Edit: It’s just an interesting difference in language, I’m not making an argument about what’s right…

I’M SHOOK

You’ve changed my whole world

I could say the same thing about people calling all soft drinks “soda”

Oh wow this has been my life at times, chronic fatigue type conditions are no joke

The bottle-o in my part of Victoria

It’s the useless two faced politicians that are counter productive, we should grind the economy to a fucking halt until they start to listen

Propaganda.

I’ll only celebrate AI when someone makes one without stealing all the training data

Car dependent cities are the real prison cities

If you’re in a currently cold place, then it’s a reasonably good way to heat a room and make the energy do something useful along the way, instead of just running a space heater.

Fuck economic output, I want to be happy and healthy and live in a world that I’d actually want kids to grow up in.

Ffs NZ. You were supposed to be my sane backup country for when Australia collapses

DU

It doesn’t go far enough, I’m demanding 30°C to be the minimum temperature at all times.

I picked the worst time to get into print media…

Forgive me for asking, but what about this makes it a good visualisation?

Maybe I just don’t know how to read it, but this looks completely meaningless to me.

Also every circle we draw has some thickness so we’re actually drawing annuli

They’d probably manage to stop mangling people for one

This is 100% anecdotal of course, but I’ve noticed weirdly inconsistent behaviour. I have one tab I permanently keep open for YouTube and that one loads videos really fast. If I open a second tab by following a link from that main tab, then it partly loads the site and sits there for a weirdly long time before any content even appears.

I’ve got a really fast connection too, and nothing else was having issues. This whole thing is bizarre.

I love trams, but in my city they’re often slower than busses. And we still have a ton of old rolling stock with no wheelchair access.

I always prefer trains, but I no longer live near trams or trains. Instead I’ve got four bus routes, two of which go on the freeway just after the stop near my place. I’ve made it to my destination in under 10 minutes on that bus, it would normally be 20-30 minutes on a good day though.
