Where we live Coles is a 3 min walk. Aldi (2 stores) 10 min +/- traffic delays, by car. I reckon saving 10 cents doesn't justify cranking up the Hyundai. But I take your point. It's time I re-checked Von Aldi-Schneider again for price comparisons. There are other reasons Coles is a preferable...

In early 2000's I was waiting to be relieved from my day shift, by the afternoon staff, who was 45 mins late. To cut out the details, it turned out that they were using their mobile phone and ran off the road, rolled down an embankment, and was killed instantly. Fast forward around 6 months...

I'll remember that for next time I am in the States :ROFLMAO: But you nailed it perfectly. Technology was supposed to emancipate mankind ... but it has slowed us down, and the stone age is gaining on us from the rear.

And yet .... they are still catching people?

I'm sick of missing traffic lights because the dill in front of me is looking at his mobile phone while stopped at the lights. These guys seem to know what the cameras look like and where they are located. Not singling out Tradies here for any reason other than to say more tradies are slow away...

It's well past the time that road rules were benchmarked nationally. However it seems common sense can never be benchmarked nationally - some people were "born slow" and no amount of regulation will stop them from what they wish to do, and when and how they wish to do it. The fines are not high...

I bought Vevelle a year ago because they are lovely facial tissues, and tried them because of the price. You'd be fortunate today to get them 10 cents cheaper than Kleenex. Kleenex at COLES: $2.60 Kleenex at Blooms Chemist: $2.50 Panamax 100: $2.99 Blooms also give a Rewards discount, which is...

OK focus ... focus ... focus! :)

Chill brother. We got your point 40 minutes ago.

Greg, obviously we mix in different circles. Fiat currency has just about done its job. The US economy is $35 TRILLION in debt and still printing $1 Trillion every 100 days. Unsustainable. And that is the reason for current inflation and Cost of Living issues. Janet Yellen (United States...

Yes. I have watched a lot of Top Gear episodes. Those guys don't speed (or do they?) :unsure: :ROFLMAO:

In the future is could be used to generate revenue. eg when you come across roadworks, you are required to slow to 40kph max. If you are slowing, but not decellerating quickly enough, your car could potentially send a text to the nearest 5G node, and generate "$309 and 1 demerit point for...

Yes. Same with parachuting ... without the parachute! :ROFLMAO:

This already being implemented. Newcastle, NSW is designated a Smart City. They are well-advanced in implementing what is called IoT technology - The Internet of Things. Sounds harmless ... right? Well I read the 37 pages of the Newcastle City Council's abstract of benefits, and I was more than...

As far as I can see, there is reluctance to conduct this kind of research - too expensive, and the outcome could not be trusted. Why? It might be difficult to find 10,000 random people who could be classified as "certainly inbiased." Some might have a friend, or relative affected - even as...

I demand a redraw! :LOL:

0.21% and given that the world was told (and saw) how savage the original Delta virus was, there was little option but to use what they had. Hindsight revealed what couldn't be known at the time. I still have some reservations, but have opened up a little now. More reading ...

Deni67 After I wrote back to your post, I thought my words were mean and uncaring, and I am sorry for what you went through as a youngster. I can't imagine having my childhood wrecked by splitting up siblings, then living with the guilt that your mother didn't choose you first. Lots of issues. I...

My card had three numbers plus the star centre. I am deeply hurt and discouraged. :ROFLMAO: :cautious::sneaky: Not a single number yesterday, and one number Tuesday. Two numbers today. Nothing aligned. In fact my numbers trace a path that only a drunk could follow! This was supposed to be...

Rob44 Thanks for the discourse and cordiality ... to coin a word perhaps) ;) Thanks too for the link to SciTechDaily.com Some great stuff in there. Has the potential to drag me away from a lot of the other rubbish I seem to get involved with. Would also like to apologise for my defensiveness. I...
