I think this is really insightful analysis, great post. I often wonder why some of you key points around the headwinds that Labor faces (and progressive politics in general) don't really get much of an airing.

It's so obvious that LNP's messages get boosted and the Labor ones get blunted when you pay attention to it. Sam happens when LNP are in Govt, so it's not just a "going the opposite a voice- type thing.

Don't even start on the amount of dark and dirty money, backroom influence and corporate interference.

Feels bleak sometimes, but sanity will prevail at some point. 🤞

As someone who grew up in NSW and moved to Vic after driving for a decade, I can say that in my experience a lot of people in NSW consistently drive at 15- 20 over on the freeway (especially Pacific hwy to Newcastle) and consistently 10 over on other roads. During double demerits they drop down in speed a bit.

In Victoria people seem to not drive at the same amount over the speed limit. More like 10 over on freeways and 5-10 over on other roads.

I always thought this was to a difference in policing. In NSW I never heard of anyone being booked for less than 10km over. In Victoria I have heard of people being done for as little as 4km over, and when I first moved here I got done for doing 6km over in an 80 zone (old habits died that day).

An additional observation, post COVID it feels like Victorians are driving faster, not to the same level as NSW but headed towards it.

Dickheads in cars on their phones that will run me over and kill me from behind one day. RIP me. But it's been a hell of as ride until that point in the future.

Ooh, and freehub incompatibility and different "standards" fuck those.

Even better but a ZTTO HAG tool. Teach a person to fish and all that.

This Bloke has really broken Godwin's law hasn't he?

Dnt know anything about them. I assume they are all pretty good. The reason I went quadlock am was for the wireless car mag lock holder which is super convenient when driving. That and they seem pretty ubiquitous so I figure I can get replacement parts easily on trips etc.

Quadlock are head and shoulders above anything else I've seen. Well worth the cost, and lots of options.

What on earth was that mid neutral zone stop!? I've never seen anyone like that before, there must be some pretty interesting politics behind that.

Worse than that, it's an intentional miss direction so that their billionaire benefactors can continue to squeeze the fossil fuel sponge well into the future. They want to get every last almost free drop out of our resources.

That wasn't my question. What is Trump going to do to help Palestinian children?

 

Australia, don't become America.

 
 

Are we doing Front End Friday here? I finished building up this treasure and wanted to share it with people who understand 😜
