Oh wow dunno where you are but you lot must be spoiled haha… and I already consider ourselves spoiled compared to the States, apparently bog standard there is like 87??

But yeah, Australia and NZ has E10 (didn’t quite see this in NZ), 91, 95, 98 (and diesel).

Nah black. It was just shit wasn’t it??

Rental car for South island NZ, MG Excite. Unfortunately we’d just had a hybrid in North island NZ, and had been spoiled by it’s good fuel economy and responsiveness, amongst other things.

This car had a label insisting on 95, not just 91. In NZ, fuel is fucking expensive, let alone premium. It also felt like we were filling up every day or at least every other day, whilst back up in North island we’d filled once every three to four days.

It also handled like a turd, wired android auto was unreliable and crashed all the time so we had to reset the head unit multiple times a day, its driver assist was way too fucking interventionist and couldn’t be disabled without being at a complete stop (said it could do it if below the speed limit but always said you were above it??)…

Just terrible.

And you’re on one his weaker books! 🫣

This link has always been helpful for explaining his books.

If I’m buying, it’s physical. If I’m borrowing, it’s digital.

You sound like you might be on the spectrum. Couple of things you said pop out, difficulty with hidden meanings being the big one.

Suspect they meant that when Tears of the Kingdom leaked early, a bunch of “Breath of the Wild” compatibility and performance patches came out for their early-access Patreon only builds. Or at least, that’s what’s been the scuttlebutt about the affair.

Given how out and proud the sentiments are expressed, the friend can’t say they didn’t know… I wouldn’t waste much time trying to have them see reason. You don’t accidentally join a dinner party where everyone else is a white supremacist, or an anti-vaxxer, or where everything they don’t like is woke and thus should be eliminated.

Either way I said probably… Which would likely follow as certainly after an attempt to see if maybe they have been wilfully ignorant (still not a good look).

It’s precisely that they should be treated the same that I don’t believe they make a good example as someone you wouldn’t want to be associating with.

You shouldn’t care that mates of yours hang with ex-cons, so there is no conflict to be had there.

I wasn’t remarking on the incidence rate of fascists, merely commenting on their views.

Ex-cons might not be the best group to use in your example…

If I had a friend who kept the company of fascists, I’d probably drop them real quick - notably as the current iteration of fascists are intent on ensuring people like me are dead or ground under their boot.

On the flip side, just because I had a disagreement with someone doesn’t mean other friends can’t be friends with that someone - it takes a lot to be called “an enemy” of myself.

I have them. They aren’t half bad, but it is possible at louder volumes for others to hear.

Perhaps OP should get bone conduction buds, but that may make it hard to wear the glasses.

Litelok X1 or X3, hiplok d1000 are the specific models that are angle grinder resistant.

You say you look “pretty” white, that’s like how “not really” isn’t a “no”.

When my white colleagues get asked “this”, it’s more “are you a local boy/girl?” (just country things…). When my non-white colleagues get asked “where are you from?”, they’re not satisfied with a location somewhere in Australia.

Apparently, for a lot of white Australians, you need to be white to be Australian.

We went with their black and white MFC which also does double sided ADF scanning… and I recently had a bit of FOMO when a colour MFC went on sale (ofc, for like three-four times the price, and at that price I might as well just print colour at a local print shop).
