Sydney Australia based - passionate road cyclist - don't like far left or far right political parties - do have a sense of humour and I like to have fun - Dutton & Albanese are muted in my feed 😂
Australia has a lot of rare minerals - maybe we are next in line to be annexed by US after Greenland and Venezuela

This is an over reach - and Aussies are just a pack of sheep led by career middle managers

Reddit is social media????? Whats next? Flipboard? How about Strava? Garmin Connect?

betcha News Limited paywall sites won't be on the list!!!

Peter Garrett from Midnight Oil was rocking this look in 1983 for Midnight Oil single - Read About It

Another sign the Labor are the new Right

Labor has the rusted on Left locked in. All Labor has to do is grab moderate middle Australia and they will be in power forever

Labor career politicians like Minns and Albo - no vision - other than to maximise their superannuation pensions by hanging on

Not sustainable - taking account of 1. Theft of copyright via data scraping 2. Slave labour from poor counties for data tagging 3. Ridiculous power consumption from data centres 4. Fresh water to cool the data centres

Complete scam

This article by Guardian is a mish mash

Give us real facts

1. The person killed was on a surf board a 100 metres from the shoreline

2. When was the last average beachgoer killed by a shark swimming between the flags 25 metres from the shoreline

more chance dying in a car driving to the beach

Shameful - the government is exporting problems via dumping them on a poor country

Labor is the new Liberal party. This deal and the long term petroleum resources agreement in WA a couple of months ago come to mind.

I really hope it gets a major improvement. I definitely want something more than people buying stuff off Temu and reselling it from a stall.

It has to be about fresh produce. Happy to see some local stores that are genuine local artists not resellers

Disappointing article. There's no analysis. It's just a bunch of stats and some quotes from politicians.

Where are the theories and insights of why year on year numbers have increased by 25,000

I don't agree with this legislation as it will be unenforceable - however what it does go ahead the government should surely band alcohol and gambling advertising on commercial TV. That surely is the most obvious and harmful exposure that many children face even passively when there with the parents

Even Pogi has learned to pace himself in recent years - he is riding better than Jonas right now - but the days of several super attacks are gone

It will be super interesting to analyse Jonas climb times this year and prior in 2022 for today's climb
July 17, 2025 at 4:29 PM
I think riders have only so much anaerobic efforts over 3 weeks - and Pogi has come to understand this and now rides a little more conservative

Jonas smashing it on stage 1 - will Jonas blow up in the back end of the first 10 day block?

Better old Jonas getting towed by Wout, Sepp and Roga?

The Chinese car factories will have less workers per vehicle than their western counterparts

It is the integration and the automation that is killing the western car makers not the number of workers on the factory floor

I still rate all this AI about 2 out of 10 - most of it is bloody useless and just is not accurate enough

Real basic stuff like hey I want to use voice to dictate an email and it uses the correct name from the email address in the body of the email

syntax errors on non-English names is shocking

Absolutely shocking

Don't understand how these TV channels still exist. I haven't watched channel 10 in 20 years

The channels on YouTube way better for news. TLDR is an example of nice research and presentation

Won't Elon's robots fill the void? There only 12 months away from production release 🤔

How much are they paying their Indian, African workers to do the data tagging so the AI works - now that would be interesting

Western media portrays Iran as nothing more than a pile of sand

92M people in Iran - 9x the population of Israel

Other than dropping bombs - what the hell is Israel/US hoping to achieve???

- land invasion out of the question
- Syria, Iraq, Jordan in between (what happens with them?)

What a mess
June 23, 2025 at 5:50 PM
I would like to understand how Syria, Jordan and Iraq have all these planes and missiles whizzing over their skies 24/7

Have these 3 countries got any input to what happens to their airspace?
June 22, 2025 at 12:25 PM
I don't believe a word Trump says about obliterated - other than his last shred of credibility

Also there is no critical analysis from the media - how about the media does a true up of the number of bombs dropped v the size and depth of the facilities - 1st year high school maths

Pogi is my favourite rider - I'm enjoying it while it lasts

I can remember when Cavendish was No 1 in sprinting and then Marcel Kittel turned up. Cav's famous quote where he said that it took 2 seasons for him to figure out how to win against Kittel

Pogi has evolved his style as well :)

People have personal responsibility - everyone knows that going between carriages is dangerous

Don't change the carriages

A bit like no hands Pogi having a drink whilst Jonas was turning himself inside out at last year's TdF
