Sydney discussion thread for the week of Mon Feb 10 2025
  • That was wild.

    Thunderstorms in the afternoon after a hot day I understand and grew up with.

    Thunderstorms in the morning always get me on edge....

  • The RBA meets later this month. This is what the experts are predicting will happen
  • I think they may sit pat and do nothing.

    Too much chop/uncertainty in too many markets because USA.

  • Colesworth exit gates
  • Your puny gates cannot stop the power of the great one! I am a righteous GIANT! Who already paid for their shit anyways....

    Legally, I believe it would fall under the tort of false imprisonment. You can search for that in your state.

  • Dunno if it's just me, just the area or something else, but the white/sulphur crested cockatoos have been annoying the hell out of me lately.

    Their constant shrieking and squawking is driving me nuts. Not to mention they decide they hate one random tree or bush and just shred it to hell.

    Is this my new normal? Is it seasonal? Will they go away and leave me the hell alone?

  • A 25-Year-Old Is Writing Backdoors Into The Treasury’s $6 Trillion Payment System. What Could Possibly Go Wrong?
  • Sorry, no, he meant there are no checks -as in bank checks- because all the balances -as in account balances- are now zero after all the money has now disappeared.

    So, literally, no checks and balances.

  • Australian Federal election 2025: Taiwan offers to help counter online disinformation in lead-up to poll
  • "When contacted for comment, surprisingly, both Labor and Liberal were in exact agreement, stating that there was no fake news in Australia, and that if there was, it only came from another party and definitely not from their party."

  • Australia bans DeepSeek on government devices over security risk
  • Exactly!

    All these devices should be locked down, and any apps reviewed and if OK, put on a whitelist.

  • Saw this phenomena today.

  • Medical professionals fear cases of [vitamin] B6 toxicity are under-reported
  • Hmmmm. RDA is 1.7mg.

    Mg supplement has 60mg B6 and Zn has 10mg B6.

    Holy crap.

  • NSW Police sergeant accused of filming and distributing vision of colleague's genitals given warning
    • the circumstances where I would not stop a car to allow another passenger to pee would be extreme. Like 'we have to save the world' type of situation
    • the number of times I would think 'I should record this guy's junk' is zero
    • the number of times I've ever thought 'I should share a post of this guy's junk' is also zero

    I'm just not cut out to be a cop

  • Tucker Time: Tue 28 Jan 2025
  • Chucked a baguette, a stick of butter and a couple of cloves out on the road, and got a proper beautifully toasted garlic bread after 5 minutes.

    Got it in before the cool change, hail and rain arrived ;)

  • Tucker Time: Tue 28 Jan 2025
  • It's so hot today, I'm not gonna cook anything.

    I'm getting one of the frozen spaghetti's I made in a big batch, and just gonna suck on it like a huge popsicle.

  • Yeah, nice cool change/storm expected this afternoon.

    Forecast says a 10 degree drop between 2pm and 5pm, and 22 by 8pm :D

  • Sydney discussion thread for the week of Mon Jan 27 2025

  • No, they said it was Felicity in chocolate

    After a series of controversial performances, Snicko has been sacked.

    Hotspot has been waiting in the wings, and is hopeful he we be called up as the replacement.

    7 Plus lol

    It's hysterical that I can't watch the main cricket channel on 7plus. I just get the red circle going round and round.

    But if I switch to the Hindi channel, it's perfect.

    Needless to say, with India at 6/73, the Hindi commentators are a little subdued, but still make more sense than Ponting and co.

    Penrith or Melbourne?

    So, who are you supporting for the Grand Final?

    I can't make my mind up.

    I don't want Penrith to win again. I hate dynasties, and I think it's better for the game when teams rise and fall. It's one of the benefits of a salary cap.

    But I don't like Melbourne, because of their historical rorting of the salary cap, ruining multiple seasons of the NRL. And the whole introduction of wrestling manoeuvres into footy. A lot of their game seems to be based on cheating or exploiting weaknesses in rukes rather than playing in the spirit of the game.

    Or do I just barrack for the referee, touchies and video reviewers?

    BMWs, Mercs spray painted. Strike force set up.

    www.abc.net.au Luxury cars spray painted with graffiti in inner Sydney as police launch strike force

    A new strike force has been created to target a number of cases of luxury cars being painted in Sydney's inner suburbs.

    Luxury cars spray painted with graffiti in inner Sydney as police launch strike force

    I thought maybe someone was marking cars that had been highlighted on Dashcam Owners Australia, but apparently not....

    Thank God resources have been allocated for a strike force! One poor victim got the paint off with WD40, but the trauma will last forever!

    Four Corners - Don't speak

    www.abc.net.au Four Corners

    Four Corners is the home of Australian investigative journalism.

    Four Corners

    On Four Corners tonight (check your local guides):

    Channel Seven bills itself as a family network, but a Four Corners investigation finds it to be a "second chance club" for senior men, described as a "degrading, soul-crushing" workplace.

    Expect the attacks on the ABC to intensify .....

    CrowdStrike impact on aussie.zone?

    Sorry if this has been asked/answered previously, but it just struck me that I hadn't really noticed any impacts of CloudStrike on aussie.zone.

    Was wondering if it was a non-event, or maybe there are some war stories with heroes deserving medals!

    • Moses making 50-60m with his kicks

    • even Trell looking like a footy player again
    • Liam Martin, clean it up. Grubby all night.

    old.reddit.com login redirects to www.reddit.com/login

    I use old.reddit.com, and had trouble logging in from there today. "Too many redirects". I also use the Redirect to old.reddit.com extension. When I disabled that, the login link it now takes you to is https://www.reddit.com/login/. That, of course, takes you to www.reddit.com.

    The old 'popup' login box has been removed. I also noticed that the in sub logins where they used to have username/password entry boxes have been removed.

    More reddit enshitification to try and make us use their horrible UI.

    Best Tomato Sauce/Ketchup?

    Ok I have a confession to make. I often don't put tomato sauce on things that are expected required by Aussies to have tomato sauce. It's a shameful thing, and I don't want to talk about that.

    But, sometimes I must have tomato sauce. The bottle is almost empty, and after upgrading my BBQ sauce and Mayo, surely there is a great bang for the buck tomato sauce.

    Choice rated Community Co A Squeeze of Tomato Sauce, available from IGA, as number 1 in 2019 from a list of over 20 tomato sauces/ketchups.

    Anyone tried this and can give me a recommendation and reasons on why I should try something else over this?

    Ima have to apologise in advance for being a questioning beotch that expects a reference to a scientific study for every statement...after quoting Choice 🤣

    theconversation.com Electric vehicle fires are very rare. The risk for petrol and diesel vehicles is at least 20 times higher

    Reports of electric vehicle fires might lead some people to fear the growing numbers of these vehicles will increase fire risk. In fact, replacing petrol and diesel vehicles is likely to reduce it.

    Electric vehicle fires are very rare. The risk for petrol and diesel vehicles is at least 20 times higher

    I thought that the media was a little over the top with reporting every electric car fire.

    Little did I realise just how blown out of proportion it was:

    "...electric vehicle battery fires are rare. Indeed, the available data indicate the fire risk is between 20 and 80 times greater for petrol and diesel vehicles. "

    www.theguardian.com Small modular nuclear reactor that was hailed by Coalition as future cancelled due to rising costs

    Opposition climate and energy spokesperson had pointed to SMRs as a solution to Australia’s energy needs, but experts raise questions over price tag

    Small modular nuclear reactor that was hailed by Coalition as future cancelled due to rising costs

    So, it appears the first SMR project in the US was scrapped due to rising costs.

    An Aussie SMR would take 10-15 years before even being online and we'd be the guinea pigs.

    Perhaps it's time to pivot to technology already available and that can be implemented in the short term?
