Hey politicians, you want to know a great way to "turn down the temperature" in society? No, it's not naking the AFP crack down on social media posts, and it's not about new censorship laws disguised as duty of care either. It's your own behaviour that actually needs to change...
And it's insulting to the constituents you were elected to represent. You bunch of arrogant, entitled, overpaid, condescending, corrupt, shitbags, do your fucking job and work to make our country better. Learn to compromise for the good of the country instead of squabbling...
I really hate when politicians, who are already in government, tell the voting public about all the things they'll fix if they get ejected again. Excuse me, you're in government now, just make the changes now. This kind of BS tactic, essentially blackmailing the public, is gross.
Firearms are not toys. Firearms, even if unloaded, with magazine removed and chamber flag inserted, still need to be handled safely. Nobody should be given a gun, even a "made safe" one, without going over the four safety rules and checking they are understood and in practice.
The recent debate concerning a certain UK police PR image featuring someone holding a firearm is troubling. The individual in the picture is definitely not practicing safe firearm handling, with the barrel not pointed in a safe direction, AND with a finger on the trigger...
That someone would be posing with a firearm, breaking at least a couple of these rules, is problematic. That nobody noticed this, not even the person taking the photo, nor reviewing the photo for release knew about (or didn't care about) firearm safety is shocking...
Golf is hard. Brutally hard. You can hit a great shot, or you could totally mess things up, and either are as likely as a flip of a coin. But the hardest part for me is finding the right balance when playing a round with others...
I want to improve, so I take my game pretty seriously. I also try to be serious enough that other players don't think I'm taking the piss, not trying, or not caring. Even when playing badly, I'm still having fun, so I try to show that as to not be a downer for others around me...
Wow, Autosteer (beta) on an MY25 Model Y sucks compared to my earlier Model 3. Did a 700km (435mi) trip today, so obviously used this a lot to reduce fatigue: It was very annoying. The number of disengagements was frustrating...
often resulting in you getting a little too close to a line after it suddenly let's go, and then you get lane departure beeps. And speaking of annoying beeping, the stupid beeping sounds that happen every time it disengages and again when I turn it back on drove me crazy.
