Prison isn't for stopping people. It's a last resort, for confining people temporarily, while all those responsible put the blame on the…

Chatbots can find some science on the other side of the argument, too you know. Anyway, law around drink driving and cigarettes seldom…

Nope. <TL/DR> of what I said is that more penalties won't make much, (if any) difference. The proof of the pudding is easily seen at your…

This is Sydney. Where everything is expensive, but at the same time cheap and poorly civilised. Power companies and telcos do what they…

Spend 30 mins at a local courthouse, or with some cops. Your perception of the ability of the average law-breaking citizen (or even the…

Outside is a good idea, but if it can get rained on- which might cause a fire regardless. If inside or even just under-cover, I'm not sure…

Perhaps the math provided as a formula will help: More law and more consequences for breaking them + Ignorance (no idea of laws other than…

Just like savings accounts, gubmints watch our demerits balances; deciding monthly how many more can be 'extracted' to maximise impact on…

Isn't that what we have been doing since federation? Media has been full of it. Since forever. Good luck hoping stricter laws on future…

Capped price is a thing because they can avoid doing maintenance that used to be 'basic', but is now skipped as moving parts don't have…

Was in the service bay next to a Camry, and was infected also!

True that. But on older Toyotas, just opening the bonnet can cause any plastic electrical connector within a 2000 mile radius to…

But to the pro framer, does every frame look like a nail?

Not uncommon to find many problems in new cars, esp. in newly released models. Manufacturers love people who have low expectations around…

There is very little chance a 2012 VW only needs an oil change, unless you know its history and have been maintaining it very well.…

Ask any builder, let alone house-owners, most of us have seen plenty of qualified tradespeople leave dangerous work behind them. Just this…

Can be a good way to get some rare-sized 6-7mm sockets for your 3/8 ratchet handles, too. At some point though, value has to improve as…

The pressure gauges are so reliable I've never seen a broken one. That said, they can fail... and they are sold as a spare part, but, given…

Just because they say 2600mAH, doesn't mean they are. Would be interesting to test the cells in a new one. In europe the same batteries…
