Back in the 90s phones used Windows CE, which appropriately abbreviated to WinCE. Fuck that OS, worse than Vista/ME.

I've got some more:

Wind back private health insurance. It leaches money from the population while providing worse health outcomes. The finance side has lobbyists to encourage the government to lean toward private health and away from public services. Private health at the very top, is just money and bankers, so when the global finance system shifts ever so slightly one way or another, entire branches of our health care services come under fire.

Microtransit. Lean on states to regulate eBikes and eScooters with some reasonable legislation. Improve micortransit freeways around the cities and frankly through the country as well.

Fast trains for transit and freight.

Remove mutual obligations from centrelink payments effectively making it a soft UBI. If people want to work they will or at least will try to. If they don't want to work they wont. It's a waste of money to try to punish people who don't want to work.

Buy back our god dam services. Telco, utilities, government departments (eg, vicroads), public transport.

Manufacturing. How much fucking raw ore do we ship overseas? At least process that here into iron, steel, etc.

That Norway citizens fund thing that Whitlam got shafted over, do that.

Build commie blocks for housing in every major city on top of train stations. 1-3 br apartments, with services on the ground floors.

All her life my Aunt looked like she was on top of her business. Owned multiple houses around the world, travelled regularly, lived in the inner city of a top tier European city. She was found dead at home in her 70s. As the finances were unwound to deal with her estate, she's flat broke, everything was loans on loans, her sister who rented one of her apartments is set to lose her housing. One of my family members commented "I thought she was good at business", I replied that she was, she died without ever having to clean up the mess she made, her finances were a disaster and now they're someone else's problem.

I couldn't get the double clutching timing right, and my instructor was a cunt who got on my nerves the whole day of training. Also because they're a gated gearbox, you're supposed to follow the H pattern and not cut desire paths.

You can still play it. It's got a large base.

You gotta shoot your shot and then be prepared to walk away if they're not interested. It's as simple as that. I've ended a few friendships with women I've developed a crush on as once I had a crush, they weren't really friendships anymore.

You start in the shower. Wash yourselves, wash each other, tease a little, then dry off, get into a clean bed and have at it. Standing sex in the shower is mediocre at best.

That's what I was taught for walking country roads with no pavement, sometimes even no shoulder.

Less what your doctor says, more what your blood test results say for Vitamin D levels.
