I'm Hiding 🇦🇺

Is that common?

Speak for yourself, there’s nothing wrong with my carburettor!

My distributor on the other hand is a pain in the ass. Electronic ignition has its upsides…

And I self host mine!

What’s wrong with LPG?

Petrol is a liquid. When liquid petrol evaporates is becomes a gas. When gaseous petrol is compressed in a container as pictured it becomes a liquid until it is released and allowed to expand again, hence liquefied (compressed) petroleum gas.

As someone who has only linux’d in over a decade, I didn’t even realise this wasn’t Linux until I read your comment.

Damn, I thought Europe was doing such a good job

That bloke is safe in the knowledge that any time he gets rejected he can just claim it was part of the meal deal

Sailfish isn’t bad but its a compromise. I don’t like that it’s not open source. I’m happy to pay for it, but I’d prefer if it were a community project rather than something buiut behind the closed doors of an understaffed company.

That said I’m using it to type this comment so I must still think its better than the alternatives.

Honestly as an Australian its baffling to me that peoples “freedoms” take precedent over mandatory voting.

Mandatory voting means one HOUR over three or four YEARS must be exhausted getting your ass to a polling booth and ticking a box. It’s not a big deal. The upsides so significantly outweigh the downsides.

Apparently this is an unpopular opinion on Lemmy but - I like cars? Cars are fun. You can learn so much working on them and restoring them. Learn to weld, learn to build engines and gearboxes, learn to paint, learn how to do wiring. And at the end of it after all that blood, sweat, and tears - you have something fun you can drive about in!

Why does everybody here hate on my hobby so much? Its like the one thing I have in this world. Let me enjoy it.

But that is not an issue unique to one race. Pakastanis who live in the northern territory do not have meaningful representation. Should they get a bespoke group of representatives too? What about Sweedes? Or Brazillians? Or white Australians?

This is a problem with our democracy, not a race problem. Why make it one?

I’m aboriginal and I voted no.

The way to solve racism isn’t to create more destinctions between us. I already have a voice in parliment. I voted for them and they were elected.

The worst bit is its not any less absurd.

My paper was published in MDPI open access and then a whole heap of publishing companies came along, stole it, and now charge money for it. And they’re the ones you get first if you search for it in Google Scholar.

I’m so mad. I was proud of that and wanted people to see it, but now 90% of people who come across it will incorrectly think its behind a paywall and not bother.

And so damn infuriating when you need them forty years later lol. I’m currently in the middle of some really obscure maths at work and my only reference is a hand typed paper from 1983 with super critial plots on it, but it’s all been scanned in and put online at the lowest possible resolution. It’s torture!

Honestly as a religious person myself I’m constantly disgusted this isn’t the norm.

If the topic of religion ever comes up, the theory is my favourite conversation. I’m not here to sell you on my view of God, and I don’t want you to sell me on yours. It’s two sides of the same frankly quite interesting coin, and I like learning about the different ways people do things - but I’m not here to make you do things my way. That would be wrong.

And unless the topic comes up organically, it doesn’t fucking matter. We can work together or be best mates or whatever and unless you asked, you’d never have to know I was religious.

It’s a joke. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Tms0yk9kqVM

Whatever you do, DON’T mention the war. I did once but I think I got away with it.

I live on the other side of the world, but I bet you anything you like that my petrol prices will double too. It will cost twice as much to heat my home, and because my country is so big and so far away from everything, the cost of any goods I buy will increase significantly due to the additional price of the fuel required to get it to me.

I had no choice. I couldn’t vote for that dickhead if I wanted to. America voted and I’m worse off for it.

All good and well until you have a 3 or 4 trailer road train limited to 90kph with a poor little box truck stuck behind it wanting to do 110kph. Trucks should be allowed in the middle lane for overtaking each other.
