Nokia dragged their feet on smart phones and paid the price. The fact that they went with Microsoft when they did start making smart phones almost certainly didn't help matters, but they were already way behind at that point.

It's an absolutely perfect example of how petty he and his ilk are.

I take reviews on any site (especially Google/maps) with a huge grain of salt. I mostly only go straight to the negative reviews though. If they're all petty shit, then it's usually a good sign. I also like to see if the business/owner has responded. If they're posting snarky responses to negative reviews, then I'm inclined to think that this isn't a business that I want to deal with.

I never even realised it was a thing people did commonly until I started watching Critical Role.

The closest my group has ever come is playing the Hell's Rebels adventure path for Pathfinder. In that you resurrect an old group called the Silver Ravens, so that essentially becomes your party's name.

That’s what the LNP are like ~~here in Brisbane~~ everywhere.

Fixed that for her.

They could probably save themselves a fair chunk of money if they stopped plastering their faces on everything they can. You won't see a sign or flyer advertising a service the council provides without the faces of Schrinner and usually the local LNP councillor as well.

That would be a 23 kg bike. That’s crazy heavy. It’s more than double most bikes’ weight, and triple the weight of a racing bike.

It's actually not that crazy. E-bikes tend to be at least that heavy. Mine is 30kg. In our example of a fat man riding a bicycle, he's probably more likely to be riding an electric bike anyway.

I get the stress of dealing with impatient dickheads behind you, but you should absolutely be erring on the side of caution. If you think it might be a school day, slow the fuck down. School zones are generally what, a couple hundred metres? The impatient wankers in their emotional support vehicles can wait a few extra seconds.

That’s shocking.

Is it though? People speed constantly on every street or road.

EDIT: It is also possible some of them could have been 70 zones normally.

The replacement's job isn't to fix the problems, just to make it seem like they're doing something.

Oh boy, today’s going to be very moist down south 💦💦

Yeah, but what is the weather going to be like?

I still think the school needs to be moved regardless. It's tiny and it's in a terrible location. I don't know where it could be moved to that wouldn't upset people, but that doesn't change the fact that it's unsuitable.

I'm guessing that the athletics is one of the most popular sports, so they wanted it where people can get to it more easily (and also closer to the inner city area, where there's more opportunities for tourists to spend their money.)
