There’s a technique, but I agree the new ones are pretty bad
Hailstones the size of cricket balls. Never seen anything like it. Smashed my car and solar hot water system. At least it wasn’t my head, I suppose…

I just sat through the somewhat tedious “apple cider vinegar”.
So many ■■■■ voices.
The only one who sounds Australian is the American lead actress.
■■■■■ me to tears.

That show was painful. Didn’t bother finishing it, was bloody hard work for most of it.

I could not figure out if it was so Farking annoying because the whole affair was Farking annoying, and therefore well done, or if it was just Farking annoying.
In any case, I was Farking annoyed.

I have information (it’s publicly available) that indicates a company may be involved in fraudulent activity, and some other stuff that’s pretty ■■■■ form.
Need to make official complaints to about 4 different government and industry bodies. None of them will accept verbal complaints. If I email them they just refer me to their website, and have to fill out a questionnaire.
They state they won’t tell me if they follow up the investigation, or if they do, won’t provide me any updates.
No one really gives a ■■■■ about fraud, until a journalist contacts them I guess

You could have a journalist contact them, I guess?

Best app ever.
I need to look into this. I tried the app on my Apple TV but couldn’t make sense of how to get the items actually there to watch.

My kids do it. They tell me they can’t go to jail as they’re not adults yet.
Pretty sure you need the app on your phone. Select the movies and shows you want. And then they appear on the app on Apple TV.
Most of the movies have been remastered and better quality than the regular streaming services.

I reported to the TGA a company selling anti-hypertension medication that DOES NOT WORK. That would mean people taking it are at increased risk of heart attacks or strokes. So it is literally a life-or-death situation.
The TGA effectively said “Don’t bother us” and never followed it up.

I normally reverse into car parks. Recently I swung into a very small and almost empty car park- with car parks only on one side annd two lanes wide behind that single row of parks. It was so wide to reverse out (wider than typical residential streets around here), and I was thinking it couldn’t be safer. So I nosed in. I think there were only two cars there, and I left a space between me and those two. When I came out of the shop 10 mins later, there were another couple of cars, but I still had the space on one side which was the dead-end-of-the-car-park-side. There was a newly parked car on my other side, on the entrance side, where cars travelling on the left of two full lane widths of thoroughfare would possibly drive close to me reversing out. I glanced into the car park (my right) and saw two empty cars past the space on that side. There was another car beyond, must have also arrived. I couldn’t see into but it was four car parks away.
So I focus towards the entrance, inch slowly 60 cm out and BANG. Turns out that further newly parked car (black merc 4WD with tinted windows) decided that was the moment to leave the grid. He came out of his car park, facing outwards, and accelerated towards the entrance/exit. Unfortunately, a car was coming out from the delivery area under the building - this is beyond the parking area but that car was going to block his exit for a second. So, instead of hitting his brakes and waiting, or even slowing so he could look at everything else around, black merc guy swerved across the car park onto the right side of the thoroughfare, skirting along the backs of the other four parked cars, and smashed into the back of my car where I had inched literally 60 cm out, barely moving. He cheerily agreed to these facts but said “doesn’t matter, the insurance will figure it out”. He hit with a bang and I was barely moving. According to the road rules (the insurers tell me) there is no way that I can have him found to be at fault. Regardless of how recklessly he was driving. I took pictures of all the views, where the cars were and my number plate landed showing the point of impact, and they agreed there was nothing that I could’ve done differently. However, they said according to the rules the onus is ALWAYS on THE REVERSING CAR to avoid cars in the thoroughfare. So if you are in a car park with a van next to you so you can’t see, and some idiot slams into you because they’re not looking while you are inching out in reverse, you will be found to be at fault. The point of all this? Always - always - reverse in the car parks.

A picture would’ve painted a thousand words here.
And yes. Always reverse in. Studies have shown you are a better human.
I’m sorry you had to go through that.
I always reverse park but that stems from policing days where it was mandatory to ensure a quick response.
People that slam their brakes on to reverse park annoy me.
