Both Happy and Sad for DR. He gets a drive but I think the Haas would have been the better car for him to shine in. The AT could very well be the nail in the coffin of his F1 career.

Burn me baby, feed me back in the recycler of Mother Earth

Even that's a waste of resources really. The planet doesn't need me as CO2. Just chuck me in a giant craypot and let me be crab food.

More akin to "supermassive black hole calling Carlton Banks black" bullshit

My first trip to Europe I experienced shock at the cultural aparthied I witnessed in big cities. It felt worse than what I'd seen in Anglo multicultural countries (US/UK/AU/NZ) which is not to say it doesn't happen there but I could taste the racial tension in the air in EU

I was bitterly disappointed that this video game did not show up as the top result and indeed at all when searched it alongside this quote then stupid me realised it wasn't from Starcraft😅

Often fitted with all terrain tyres for no good reason. Just why?

Yep productivity at my workplace dropped off a cliff for a couple of days. Even pitched in my workstation on behalf of my colleagues.

The State's current debt, higher priority projects and the City of Melbourne's inability to plan their way out of a cardboard box without developer intiative has meant that the Fishermans Bend development has been conveniently dropped.

I was trying to find some articles to back me up but internet news was very much at its infancy 20 years ago so I had to refer to Mark Lathams election speech where he listed Labor's promises. That guy was opposition leader for less than a year so i presume most of what he promised was already established and you can see a lot of them were carried through to Rudd's goverment.

In a nutshell in terms of nation building

  • more funding for Education
  • more investment in Renewable Energy and a Carbon Trading scheme
  • funding for Telecommunications (i.e internet)
  • tax cuts for Families & Pensioners with the view of incentivising Pensioners to become child carers and easing pressure on young families

Unfortunately much of this was undercooked and/or flew under the radar because the main political battleground was over Medicare. Which Labor ultimately lost. Labor were being painted as socialists who would either fail to deliver on their 'handouts' or cripple the economy in doing so (which in hindsight is clearly an absolutely ridiculous notion).
