We have AppleTVs on every TV in the house and none of the TVs have ever been connected to the home network. Same with the rest of the extended family.

We also have a HDHomeRun in each house for those rare occasions when we want to watch Broadcast TV.

The only time a TV changes from HDMI1 is when someone wants to play PS or XBox.

Maybe ThE aLgOrThMs insistence to put scantily clad women in everyone’s Shorts is just a really bad attempt at a bad Dad Joke.

Curated music services like Spotify and Apple Music can give some great recommendations.

ThE aLgOrYtHm of YouTube gives terrible recommendations. It is as if it has no musical taste whatsoever.

They are all doing these offensive bundles of crap. It is worse than the days of Cable.

We are subscribed to Apple One Family Premier. I need the large data for my family to backup their devices, but none of us want Fitness+ or News+. It is cheaper to get this extra crap we don’t want, than to just get Data.

I just need a way to disable Fitness+ without disabling the Workout features. This is the same as disabling Shorts, Music and Games in YouTube.

I have been ”Don’t Recommend”-ing the generated “SuperPanavision” videos since they started earlier this year; blocking channels, “show less like this” everything. The problem is that this stuff is being pumped out constantly on so many channels that it is impossible to block them all.

I usually get bombarded with Right-Wing content after I watch Juice Media videos. Also, if a watch a feminist video, it is usually followed by recommendations of “AnTi-WoKe” mansplaining videos. it is if they want to show “Both Sides” after I watch something about maintaining democracy and contributing to society in a positive way.

The YouTube Games are just another banner of unwanted “content” like Shorts.

The T&A shorts are usually of young women in jeggings and crop-tops doing risqué actions; if your mouse passes over the Shorts for a millisecond , YouTube autoplays them and registers as a view, creating a negative feedback loop of more and more scantily clad young women doing mundane things in a risqué way.

Jailbait is probably the wrong word, but every single short has a scantily clad young lady. It isn’t the Algorithm because all I watch are Machining Videos, DIY and Restoration Videos and the occasional Science and Natural History video.

The most risqué channel subscribe to is VanWives.

Speaking of which, the Algorithm never serves anything that I subscribe to. I would better off going straight to my Subscriptions page.

I will maintain my observation that the Algorithm is shit.

This is ridiculous.

• their algorithms are crap and keep ramming right-wing bullshit down my throat
• they keep trying to get me to play YouTube games
• they list YouTube Shorts multiple times in the Home Screen and most of the time it is just over-sexualised jailbait.
• using anonymous Google to find a video on YouTube is more effective than using YouTube search

I am seriously thinking of getting an Apple Vision Pro just so I can use Juno and bypass all the bullshit.

Time I planned an exit strategy.

And which is which?

Even Kei Cars are getting bigger.

A Gen1 Jimny was 3620mm by 1295mm for a LWB Stockman Ute/pickup/truck

A Gen4 Jimny is 3645mm by 1475mm for a SWB 3-door.

Im sure a Seppophile who drives a ‘Murucan truck would use “Pal”.

They don’t. You need to already have one to buy one though.

We drive on the Left in Australia. That is the Drivers side.

This model was advertised as a “Wide-Body Camry” because they were so much more spacious.

In the early 2000s Jeep Australia had a policy of voiding warranty’s if the vehicle had 4WD engaged at any time.

Adjustable height hitches are practical for most tow vehicles to get a safe and level load.

The ADR 62 and Australian Standard 4177 also dictate legal ball heights for towing (basically a 50mm ball has to be no more than 400mm from the road surface).

Even the factory Towbar that was supplied with my Suzuki Jimny mounted the ball at 395mm (which was barely legal).

(Articulated Hitches like pin hitches or block hitches don’t have this restriction. I use a ball for my little garden trailer and a DO35 for my lightweight off-road camper. I have different height drop-hitches for each type of trailer.)

I have seen several towing.

One was the owner of a Health Drink company and had a mobile kitchen for events.

Another was an oversized-palatial-mansion-suite-on-wheels (caravan). It was too big to fit in the caravan park.

A cab-over is much more practical 99% of the time. An Isuzu N-Series or Hino 300 has much higher GCM, more comfortable cabin and larger bed.

They just aren’t fitted with V8-powered inadequacy compensators.

I have a neighbour that is none of those things and owns a black one. He is a big fella, and nice enough bloke, but often has to reverse back up suburban streets because he can’t get past the parked cars.

His wife has a white Tesla 3 and is stereotypical “I have a self-driving car so I don’t need to look up when I am driving”.

Who hasn’t the British upset?

• The EU
• Former Colonies
• Existing Colonies

Probably Canadians, but no one can upset a Canadian.
