markgreyam posted:It's kind of depressing that trying to tell people to pay loving attention on the road, drive to the conditions and not the speed limit, PUT YOUR loving PHONE AWAY and the constant reporting of every fatality on the road in the news like some sort of morbid parade just isn't working so now we have to just accept that people are inattentive idiots and make sure that when they inevitably leave the road they have less to hit. A driver recently ploughed through a back yard and killed a child. Remove all back yards I say. Also remove all houses the next time someone crashes into a house. A car drove off an embankment and rolled down a hill, hence regrade the entirety of the country to a totally smooth plane. A car also crashed into another car. Ban all cars but mine. Replace everything in Australia with a completely smooth bitumen expanse. The only remaining car went too fast and turned too sharply and rolled ban it as well. EDIT: All I know is that when I drive through the suburbs mowing down pedestrians Carmageddon style with spinning disks of razor sharp steel jutting from the sides of my deathmobile it's not my loving fault that they got themselves hurt. hooman fucked around with this message at 06:04 on Mar 3, 2015 |

Somehow I don't feel the Daily Telegraph can convincingly argue we need data retention to catch paedophiles when they apparently drive around in vans marked "peddo"

It's not unusual though. For vinyl cut signage, the colors are separate pieces and can easily be pulled off. I'd suggest a local vandal rather than the usual idiotic photoshoppery.

Because I feel like that was a situation of low population and small cities, which is simply over unless you're buying in Bunbury or Bathurst. Like, I know the market is officially "over-valued," but what does that mean it should "properly" be? Bathurst house prices have gotten ridiculous over the last 10 years since everyone from Sydney/Blue Mountains has bought them as investment properties

Is there a point to the article mentioning one of Xu's neighbours is a major shareholder of Cubbie? What's in it for Joe, who one would have thought might have needed whatever he's clearly expecting for this unaccustomed toughness months ago? Why, again, if the rules are that clear, did noone think "hey this might contravene FIRB"? And why does Joe think there'll be no comeback for pissing off a Chinese billionaire?
