Parking near intersections in NSW
10 metres, you irresponsible gits.
Yes, this is a crotchety rant while wearing my curmudgeon pants.
Hating Optusnet with the burning fury of a thousand suns
FIX MY INTERNET YOU USELESS BASTARDS.

Dear young person who was possibly looking after somebody else’s dogs
Dogs and small children should enter cars from the pavement/kerb side, not the busy road side.
Jerks and those who do not challenge them
Clueless quote of the day via Blaghag, blogging on why women don’t come to atheist meetings after a conversation that ended with this:
“What? It’s not harassment since we’re not in a workplace.”
Thought for the day from Feynman
I was just reminded of this and am about to add it to the HAT quote file: “I can live with doubts and uncertainty and not knowing. I think it’s more interesting to live not knowing than to have answers which might be wrong…I don’t feel frightened by not knowing things, by being lost in [...]
Sam de Brito to Women– FEMINISM: UR DOIN IT RONG (but don’t worry, you just need a man to set you straight).

Because nerd culture will never be pop culture. That’s why Borders slashed its scifi section. And it’s [...]
“The Open-Source Boob Project”
This is just a post full of shameless feminist fangirling about machineplay on LJ. You may have heard by now about the Heinlein-lovin’ dude who thinks he invented objectification and groping at Penguicon, and who stormed out of his con into the world to spread the word. theferret’s original post is here. Edit 24 Apr [...]
The disability insurance merry-go-round
So. Disability insurance forms. Why oh why did the bureaucrats get away with omitting the obvious item: a big-arse checkbox at the top of the six pages of paper, saying: “Is everything EXACTLY THE FUCKING SAME as it was 28 days ago? Y/N” But no. I must be forcibly reminded at least once a month [...]
