  • Backing into a parking bay where the amount of traffic in the bay is close to zero and visibility is great allows you to drive out into the street facing forward where you can see what traffic is coming.

    If you drive forward into a bay then you have to back out of it into the street where you cannot see anything except what’s directly behind you and you have little to no visibility sideways, unless the bays next to you are empty, so essentially you’re backing out with your fingers crossed, hoping that nothing will hit you.

    Moreover, the traffic rules, at least where I live, specify that a reversing vehicle has to give way to everyone.

    As a bonus, when you’re loading things, you’re not standing in the street with your back to traffic.

    In other words, learn how to back into a bay.


  • It caused the lining in my nose to swell which in turn blocked my nose, which caused me to breathe more through my mouth, which caused me to choke and wake up explosively gasping for air. It was not fun … at all.

    Over the period of seven days I tried several different masks with the help of my local sleep clinic who initially tested me via a full sleep study, then fitted the masks and evaluated the CPAP machine data.

    CPAP isn’t a universal “fix”, which is what I was told about before going into the trial.






  • In Australia it depends on whom you ask.

    The Greens say it’s a catastrophe.

    The Labor party says it’s a problem, but not enough of one to actively do anything about.

    The Liberal party tell you what you want to hear, but support the fossil fuel lobby while saying that it’s not manmade.

    The National party wants more nuclear power because apparently it’s “better” … for some reason that nobody understands.

    One Nation blames the immigrants

    The Trumpet of Patriots blame One Nation.

    Fringe dwellers blame COVID, or grasshoppers, or kangaroos … it’s hard to keep track.
