To be fair, the Germans weren't the only ones cheating emissions tests. As far as I've heard, Harley-Davidson used special tunes on their bikes to pass emissions testing. Never heard of BMWs just randomly bursting into flames, though, gotta look into that.
I don't know about US car makers, but I can imagine them having done similar stuff
It's funny how much of a joke the German car brands have become.
VW shoving touch controls down our throats, BMW selling their cars after they've been already sold, Audi and Mercedes sticking fake exhausts on their $70k cars, and all of them just desperately catering to the Chinese market while simultaneously not getting EVs...
Why does that thing remind me of the Zimmer Quicksilver? I guess the body lines are similar.
Nice car. Both I mean.
That's how my arms looked like after being in Australia for 6 weeks last year lol
You did good, mate.
Shiba Inus are pretty dogs, but also among the most expensive for that reason.
You mean the company that literally hasn't done anything apart from selling a novelty flamethrower once?
Edit: I forgot about The Loop... what fantastic thing that was
This, but as a compact and without Bezos.
It has to get worse before it gets better I guess
I wonder how much cheaper a car without any crap in it could be today if they still manufactured them at scale
I think I'd get a Keychron or a Unicomp if I didn't have my Model M.
Some of you might remember the T540p I got for free from work a couple of years back - after its mainboard died I rebuilt my older personal T540p with the the remaining good components and a donor W541 I bought on eBay.
I'm quite pleased with the result. Its revised specs are: i7 4930MX, Quadro K2100M, 32GB DDR3L RAM, AUO B156HAN01.2, an HP Blu-Ray drive and an Intel AX210 WIFI card.
And a few stickers obviously.
Looks more like a cove imo
Near West Head, Sydney. Sorry for the crappy photo, I had to zoom in quite a bit.
Super cool location, felt pretty unreal actually being there... shame you can't go inside any more
Edit: Seems like they made a new website for it! I hope they can turn it around somehow
Before you say something, I am aware now that cashew nuts aren't that good for them (too fatty) and that you probably shouldn't feed them at all.
I went to the Lagoon that morning specifically to feed a cocky and I did... as well as about a dozen ducks. I'm sorry, I won't do it again.
Sat there for 20+ minutes just taking it all in
Saw some people posting random pictures lately, figured I might as well join in. This was near Wollundry Lagoon in Wagga
First of all, sorry if this really isn't the right spot for this but I figured that maybe some Aussies in here recognise it.
I've had this stuffed frilled-neck lizard since roughly 2006 when a family member brought it back from Australia for me, I know for sure that my brother had a stuffed dinosaur with a similar design on it. According to the tag it was hand made in Australia by "Kurrajong Aboriginal Products". A quick search brought me to a company with the same name that sells child education books and hand made dolls, so the connection is kinda there but I can't be sure; they don't sell stuffed animals (anymore). I'd really like to know if anyone has seen these or even has one.
Here's some pictures I took of it.
When I was in Australia myself a while ago I searched for similar things but couldn't find anything. Even the museum shops I went to only seemed to sell generic Chinese-made stuff, which really is a shame but anyway...
What was even the point of this; what was the intended use case?
I'm serious, I have no idea who this is for. Other than to show people that their AI can badly superimpose pictures of Godzilla over maps.
