I'm surprised they aren't running more Frankston trains with the HCMT sets undergoing tests. This is an inbound afternoon peak service.

I don't often go on Facebook, but the one rare time I did a week back, I had 5 ads presented to me that were clearly scams. It either involves a celebrity food critic or an Australia federal government minister. Supposedly they appeared in an interview interview on some well know TV show or News segment. I normally couldn't care less, but it was implied that they admitted they got rich through some scheme, and clearly said something along the lines of, "I came across this website", and mentioned some link shortener live on air before either the PM, the Treasury or some financial regulator intervened and had the recording stopped immediately.

I have no idea what the link led to, but it was dodgy as hell. Reported it to Facebook. They came back 3 days later saying that the automated reviewer found nothing breaching advertising standards. Appealed the decision, today got the result that again, no breach after being reviewed by a combination of human and automatic reviewing. There was no place to submit my reasoning. How do they let these things go through??

It’s that time of year where people think clearzones don’t matter on weekdays.

Where they explain what happens to the products under a "free return" policy.

Hint: most of them don't get resold, with a significant portion ending up in landfill.

People who use their smartphones extensively but barely use the map apps, how do you function in life?

My significant other almost always search for a place with the main browser and almost only accidentally open the map app from a redirection link. How???

People who work in the Australian TV advertising industry, I have a question. Why do most ads that's been imported from overseas often soften the music and put the most boring voiceover they can find that seems to lack enthusiasm. I can understand dubbing for a local market, but why does it sound so boring?

Ugh thought of getting a Fairphone for my next phone but I hear it's either IMEI banned or unusable in Australia now after the 3G shutdown

For a country that needs more active mobility modes, I just find it crazy that you need to do an online theory test for the right to ride an e-bike (talking about a country that I will not explicitly mention its name)

I'm starting to understand why they love Halloween so much in the US. It keeps the tide of Christmas back for at least another month.

What if they use the new XPT replacement regional sets only for day running, and reconfigured the XPT sets for night running only, consisting of only 2 sleeper cars, 2 first class cars and one first class + buffet car?
