    Electric Vehicles etc

    EVs need a Ride of the Valkyries or other sufficiently presence-announcing tune. Maybe the Jaws theme.

    I thought @Shredden was the resident expert.

    Things you see on your daily commute - the weird, whacky, funny or downright disturbing.

    Wonder what the spiritual consequences are. Can't do with bad juju.

    The election thread - Medicare Vs cost of living Vs OMG China! Vs housing Vs I'm not Trump! Vs prehistoric fish Vs nuclear energy Vs tariffs Vs AUKUS

    https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-10-31/nbn-co-fast-tracked-upgrade-for-sky-news-host-news-corp-pundit/105953892 I'm a big believer in facing the consequences of your actions. Surely if you encourage Australians to vote for shithouse internet you should wait your turn for it to be un-fucked-up.

    The last movie you've last watched last

    Realised I quite like the procedure in police procedurals. The antagonists in Luther are good but he goes too rogue for my tastes. I quite like Line of Duty, Endeavour, Vera and Inspector George Gently. Pathologists rather than police but Silent Witness is also pretty good.

    Project Car / Motorbike thread. Let's see 'em.

    Isn't the direction of the engine based on firing order rather than any inherent mechanical properties? The only logic I've heard of was based on gearing ratio.

    Looks like it's a social sports club, no idea why it needs such big sponsors in the first place.

    Digital disconnect

    The boring thing is in reality it's about things like threat modelling; working out what you're trying to protect and going from there. Different requirements have different mitigations. There's also a trade-off between security and ease of use. The security of your operating system shouldn't...

    Digital disconnect

    Personally, I've got no idea what my recommendations are, I never see any due to my content blocker. I can't say whether it's confirmation bias, other signals, or if they're out to get you. I can say don't make decisions in a state of paranoia. I'm running a de-Googled phone, CalyxOS on a Pixel...

    I don't think children have the palate for sake.

    The last movie you've last watched last

    I remember that one being slow. It's not not quite set the scene, action ensues. Looks like I ragged it in 2023.

    I don't mind a bit of old bloke beats the shit out of everyone over a minor grievance.

    Samsung fridges. Talk about crap

    One of my friends had a shitty warranty experience with a Hisense. They had to use the ombudsmen word, can't quite remember if they actually lodged a complaint. One of the louvres broke and they ended up with exploding cans because their fruit and vegetable drinks tray was too cold.

    Confessions from the fuckwits

    Might be one for this one. I have a group chat where everyone's called Jordan but I still know who's who. If you want to ruin the mystery you can hit info then nicknames or group members.

    What does your day look like?

    Much rain for us here though. 100% chance of 10-35mm in Perth on Saturday and 95% of 3-10mm on Sunday.

    How stolen does this look, or a bargain and get on it.

    Poor thief thought they were nicking a very expensive Giant not an entry-level one.
