can't think of anything worse than having a needle stuck in my arm for days on end

if a remote doesn't work as well as it did, there's not much you can do to repair it. the likely culprit is corrosion between contact points somewhere along the curcuit board.

my gov. went to log into my health record to check some pathology test results & it took forever

Roadside breakdown service (AAMI) is cheaper than a tow truck, but only if you use it. They helped me thrice in the VS - once for gasoline, once for a non responsive indicator & another time when the technician wacked my tank to diagnose a faulty fuel pump. My car was also towed to the mechanics...

Looks like Christopher Luxon & the New Zealand National party is doing a fantastic job https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-05-18/nz-unemployment-high-kiwis-coming-to-australia/103791070

i read somewhere it was a 25% tariff. can't be bothered looking it up unless it affects me

Tesla has consistently been the most shorted stock in the US over the last 3 months. yes it's extremely volatile, but there is also no shortage of brokers & clients that are willing to open such contracts. this only adds to the volatility. it's why a company's stock price will easily fall by 10%...

idiots will do anything, including crashing tesla stock, to prevent the EV surge. meanwhile they keep pumping crap like afterpay, which is yet to turn a profit. this stinks of dirty money

i'm taking medication that's technically for treating depression, but in a low dose of 15mg, does wonders for a good night's sleep. ask your doctor for mirtazapine rather than a benzo

have you had chickenpox in the past? i was vaccinated against it, however people that have never caught the virus are at risk of coming down with a chickenpox infection from exposure to shingles

my parcel arrived in the mail, from China, 1 week before it was scheduled. try to use Australia post whenever possible

Fortunately my Mazda happily takes 91. People buying new cars & 4WD's are being forced to pay $2/l for something that would literally cost a fraction of one cent to differentiate

All these retailers asking me if I want to donate money to X cause. I'll donate money when 90% of it doesn't go to administration of the charity and/or it isn't used to reduce the company's tax bill.

at the moment, i am far better off paying tax as an individual rather than setting up a private entity. If however i was to earn say $200,000, it would make more sense from a tax point to operate as a company. with the new tax rates this changes slightly, but you're still paying $0.37 an...

australian markets are struggling right now. if we don't see a bounce in the next week, they could well go into a correctional phase. probably won't happen though as i'm in cash

the small amount of super i have has done nothing other than go backwards since changing the investment to "high growth". funds are not performing at the moment

double lane roundabouts are the worst. idiots on your left seem to think it's their right to go even though you're smack bang in the middle & indicating to get into the left most lane

don't get me started on roundabouts. giving way to cars on your right is NOT a road rule, in all circumstances. you should stop, then give way to ANY vehicle that has entered the intersection. ideally, trafic should flow in an even pattern, 1 car at a time from each juncture/entry point.

the same idiots trying to keep fossil fuels alive will be plugging renewables. it's only when they decide it's time to make the investment switch that we will see any real push.

I swear, AFL attracts the biggest imbeciles. Driving past Optus stadium last night (Freo Dockers game) & at one of the intersections (with lights, mind you), the lane to turn right is blocked, complete with barriers & witches hats. There's also a mobile sign clearly indicating to drivers 'no...

Not the point. Someone with specific skills should be allowed to perform their work without having to do other people's jobs. Move the flapping register so it's not next to the coffee machine. Having it there encourages people to go to that particular cash register. This was a place with...

Order my coffee. Woman that serves me walks off, leaving the barista to try & make coffee as well as serve. The trials & tribulations of getting a morning caffeine hit

back to the imbecilic immigration argument, are we? my neighbour is over here from Serbia on a temporary work visa. in between her FIFO shift, she works a second job to pay the rent and save enough money to hopefully gain permanent residency. meanwhile Aussies are too busy whinging about the...

for a lot of people, $1500 a month to lease a car is probably cheaper than car loan interest, insurance, maintenance etc (not sure what costs you as an owner have to pay, but there would be some). Many companies won't even touch you unless your "net income" is $80,000+

clowns trying to short sell Tesla just got roasted. +13% after hours. what they don't realise is a lot of fund managers want it in their portfolio and at this price, it's a bargain.

Don't worry, once boofhead Dutton gets in, that'll change! /sarcasm

a lot of people i speak to claim they'll never buy an EV, however petrol cars are only getting more expensive, particularly in Australia. eventually, they'll reach parity and it's at that point that buyers will need to decide if the cost of ownership is worth it. At the moment, resale value is...

agree, but once it gets to critical point, the US & Europe will just ban Chinese EV's altogether, or they'll introduce ridiculously high tariffs

China is already selling more EV's than petrol powered cars. Lucid motors are building EV's that achieve a 500 mile range. that's 800km. this tech, which is only available in their current high end Lucid AIR model, will eventually make its way into more affordable vehicles. p.s for the...

these were adults in ther 40's, not highschool students. universities are indeed opening tertiary "colleges" as subsidiaries to their main school. this is merely another step closer to us becoming the 51st official State of America

F... me. Australians using the term "college". We have universities & TAFE's, not colleges.

And don't ignorant conservatives hate that it has an Aboriginal name. According to them, it should be called "Alan Bond", or "Christopher Skase" museum, after bankrupted crooks. We now have second generation "Australians" who exhibit the same prejudice their very own parents faced when arriving...

It's hilarious watching Australians trying to blame everything from the economy to inflation on why our tourism sector is sinking into oblivion. While people like our own Hademall are doing the honorable thing, the overwhelming majority of 'Aussies' are opting for overseas holidays. Likewise...

pasta shelves were stripped bare at coles. we all know what that means - another price increase to staple items that people rely on for a cheap feed

Bruce Lehrmann lost his defamation case against channel 10 & Lisa Wilkinson. Criminally, he escaped persecution as a rapist, but on on the balance of probability he was found guilty of rape under these proceedings. All in all, the idiot (who brought this all on himself) is totally screwed. His...

i've moved to low-carb 3.5% beer & artificial sweeteners in my coffee. still enjoy sugar, but in moderation. sweet fruit is loaded with fructose & results in a sugar spike, at least for me

are you diabetic, hademall? if not, quit. right now!

expect it to hit $3. like the sugar industry, they know their days are numbered. demand per capita will begin to decline significantly over the next 5-10 years.

Idiots who ask for 2 takeaway cups (one inside the other). Bring your own mug if it's too hot

within hours of yesterday's disturbing attack in Bondi, you had conspiracy morons spreading misinformation about it being a terrorist attack by a Muslim. channel 7 even named the attacker, incorrectly. this is the danger of pursuing commentary/opinion instead of factual news.
