TIL that forcing transaction processing fees on renters is even a thing

The team that will play better shall win, but that's not certain

 

The Sydney Metro line between Chatswood and Sydenham will not open on Sunday.

It has been delayed to an unknown date due to rail safety regulator approvals.

 

4th of August according to the SMH article.

Looks like a hit piece designed to throw shade on PM's recent meeting...

Oh wait, it's news.com.au. It's definitely a hit piece then

Hey people in my phone! Does anyone else here take a Tangara to work? How do you feel about the heaters cranked up to 11 for the past few weeks? Or is just me that notices it and comes out drenched in sweat at Central?

Did it change much since initial EA? I remember the signalling being weird for me at launch

Recommend you try Horn of the Abyss mod. A couple of new towns and a lot of good balance changes. Works really well with the HD mod too

 

Trains still delayed. Anybody know more about the incident?

"Quite a nasty piece of work you managed over there. I am impressed."

Great read, thanks!

Also, I don't think I've ever encountered words that resonated with me so well:

"Things are grim—both in the world at large, and for us as individuals. We all overestimated the world: even me, an absolute pessimist. The world is very, very stupid, and bestial. There are more brains in a cowshed. Everything: humanity, civilization, Europe, even Catholicism: the cowshed is cleverer."

There is another...

A bit of everything, really. The old route just narrows down into one lane coming to the Anzac bridge. And there's the fact that there's a westconnex exit there too now. So it's one hell of a bottleneck. There's also the signage. The new tunnel that connects Iron Cove with Anzac is free, but the signage doesn't reflect that. So that caused a few people to stick to the old route which didn't help the situation.

I think Garfield was incorrect in his hate towards Mondays. If there is a day of the week that should be dreaded and despised then I believe it should be Tuesday. There's nothing wrong with the day itself, of course, it is merely the fact that Tuesday is the second day of the workweek. On Monday you're still rested from the weekend and prepared for what the day throws at you. And at the end of the day you would find yourself in the state of pyrrhic victory, it wasn't easy, but we got through it.

And then Tuesday rolls around. You wake up with the memories of the previous day still fresh in your mind and you realise that yesterday was nothing compared to what today might bring. This is when the workweek descent is truly most pronounced. This is where the darkness is the closest. This is where you catch the glimpse of the void staring back.

And Wednesday? Idk, fine I guess

It's all fun and games until the trains get affected

 

Overall, a pretty good critique of the Sydney Metro project.
