I mean, I agree people hating speed cameras is nonsense, just drive the speed limit! However, traffic calming is legit and makes the road a much safer place for pedestrians, and usually it’s by narrowing the road, not widening it.

This assumes there was no significant power outage for 27 years, which I would not bet on

S&P 500 did better than that in the last 10 years. I really hate that housing has gone the way it has, because on average it’s not as insanely profitable comparable to other asset classes as people make it out to be, it’s pretty comparable.

I wish it wasn’t comparable though, because we’re just parking a ton of cash to do nothing with it.

Capitalism is dumb.

You do, they’re just extremely poorly applied and mostly undervalue weathly neighbourhoods and overvalue poor ones 👍

Psychologists after the pandemic: that’ll be $250 AUD out of pocket after the Medicare rebate.

Me: Yeah I’d rather be depressed and anxious than pay that once every 2 weeks thanks 👍

He literally celebrates advent, or his “birthday month”. The worst.

I propose changing the O in jost to jast.

I reckon that’s closer to how we talk.

I wish in English we said 19 o’clock out loud, and I’m not ashamed (even though I know it’ll never happen)

I can honestly say my favourite part of the Picard series is Seven of Nine.

I love that they took a efficiency obsessed, socially inept ex-borg into a cynical baddass, who I’d argue was the funniest character.

None of the three seasons particularly gripped me, but I enjoyed it overall nonetheless.

I leave Undetermined, English and German.

I only ever get English and German 👍

I feel like this is part of the the joke because Americans often focus on Europeans when metric comes up. I’m Australian, and I have been assumed to be in Europe a number of times by US internet commenters on the topic haha

People should be mindful of noise at all times, but if it’s late in the morning, I feel it’s unreasonable to have an expectation of tip-toeing around without bringing it up and asking if you can come to some sort of an arrangement.

It’s the expectation that I think is the problem.

Whereas the expectation that daytime is for normal activity is not unreasonable. Why? Because that is the way it has been and still is. It doesn’t mean it’s “good”, or “fair”, but it is the current standard and if you want to deviate from it it should be up to you to say something to get what you need.

We have norms and standards in society that people do expect, these different in different parts of the world. Bring a gift when you meet parents for the first time (east Asia), don’t be loud at night (Nachtruhe, Germany). If you want to deviate, then yes, it’s on you and communicate.

As I’ve repeated in other comments, if there is some reason someone needs to sleep at “unstandard” hours, then I’m not suggesting they just deal with it and suffer.

What I am suggesting is that it shouldn’t be taken for granted that day time should be treated the same as night, and that staying up late should mean others need to tip-toe around during the day without asking (unless there is some other reason, or you ask for it to be different because XYZ)

I appreciate you saying that mate.

When I had housemates in the past, I respected this until 9AM, at that point, unless you actually have a reason to stay up past 1AM (for an 8hr sleep), then I’m afraid then it sucks to be you and I’ll just be normal amounts of quiet.

No red light cameras in your parts? I get this happens, but if it’s this frequent makes me wonder if there’s ever any fines for it? Depending how late it is should be instant licence revokation and fine in my opinion.

Japan isn’t on its own wavelength, most of East Asian does this, probably because they all decided they wanted to be like China: which was a government which governed more. youtu.be/Mh5LY4Mz15o?t=1m7s

As much as I vehemently dislike US customary units, MM/DD/YYYY is the USA’s greatest notation crime.

I think the better thing you could hope for is that the bankruptcy comes swiftly, he’s forced to sell off the IP, and all the engineers who actually built the damn things move to a company with saner leadership and continue on.

Else it’ll always be at his whim.
