  1. When Kennedy says "What would George do?" she means "we ask ourselves what 'Would George do?' so that we can then do the opposite."
    956
  2. I just can't get over the police calling Fraud and Theft 'a civil matter'
    667
  3. The real issue is that the President has that power in the first place.
    318
  4. The bit where both Ken and Barbie get arrested for her striking someone who struck her first.... And then they get let go, and are arrested five minutes later for stealing clothes, and are just let go again, with the clothes.... Honestly that bothers me more than most of the other problems with the movie.

  5. Because he's been a Russian Asset since 1987.
    216
  6. And they haven't even covered Gerrymandering yet, which is a large part of the reason it comes down to a handful of counties in a handful of states.
    215
  7. Worst part of it all is its actively making James Potter a racist. Can't ignore the context, Rich white boy bullies poor black kid.
    170
  8. And in 2020 he ignored a global pandemic allowing it to rage out of control in America while he focused on refusing to accept the results of an election he undeniably lost.
    167
  9. The lawyer is fortunate he was still able to process and communicate after a stroke, what if he hadn't been in a position to inform his client? Hope he gets well soon.
    141
  10. Its crazy that people do this because if a shop gathers a good reputation they can end up with more work than they can handle, but if word of bad business practices gets out they can lose customers just as fast.
    129
  11. Most Australians tend not to navigate by Highway Numbers, but by Highway Names instead. Most of us don't even know what the numbers mean. From what I remember, before the 00s most highways didn't even display number codes; there was National Highway 1, and that was about it.
    121
  12. Plus the whole issue of the Aswan dam stopping the nutrient rich annual floods, which means that Egypt has gone from having some of the richest soil in the world to some of the poorest.
    113
  13. When people fly internationally, especially out of the US, they tend to have these things called Passports which contain all sorts of identifying information, including birthdate and photo. No one checked that? It's the story about the person wrongfully detained as an illegal immigrant all over again.
    106
  14. What always strikes me about the inverted canopies scene is why Goose happened to have a camera with him.
    105
  15. The reason hand-counts take so long in the US is because you haven't bothered to maintain the infrastructure or hire the personnel for it. We only do hand-counts in Australia and it doesn't stop the results being out the next day.
    82
  16.  @ZAGAD-i2x  The floods weren't destructive, they weren't even that deep and the Egyptians had handled them fine for 6,000 years by building on high areas, creating artificial islands, etc. Those floods were the lifeblood of the country, this is a known and proven fact.
    66
  17. Any reason other than imminent danger is way too narrow in any case. If someone cuts you off but you brake in time, you should be able to honk at them, but this law would prevent that as the danger is now over. And then there are people who don't realize the light has turned green, and people doing 50 in a 70 zone and so many other legitimate reasons to honk, without even getting into the questions of protests.
    66
  18. Fluffy Dice not being an option for the Lowriders in GTA Online is a crime.
    55
  19. Pepper Spray is completely illegal in Australia too, as are credit card knives, tasers, batons and a whole lot of other weapons. Pocket knives and multi-tools aren't illegal, but you need a valid work reason to carry them, otherwise they are an illegally concealed weapon.
    55
  20. I think slug is the appropriate term for the ammunition, especially in its straight form without fins. With fins it should be called a bolt.
    54
  21. You know how they say out of character charges should automatically be flagged. $100 Bil? Even for Elon Musk or Jeff Bezos I suspect this would be out of the ordinary.
    52
  22. He's in the industry, he can't afford to alienate companies, Ian is a reviewer.
    52
  23. Little unfair you had to authenticate the connection in stage 1. If anyone was actually using it as a backup gun, or police/security sidearm or whatever; presumably they would set it up before holstering it and leaving base.
    52
  24. I remember a few years ago Glass Door being an outlet for many mistreated games developers. Might have contributed to the government investigations into Activision-Blizzard.
    51
  25. Bare in mind that Disney has managed to effectively destroy the movie licence with one atrocious SJW movie. The people in charge are clearly living in a world of pure imagination, completely unconnected to the real world. Like every corporation on the planet really.
    50
  26. There is no way the extra costs amounted to over $200k, let alone 278k. Increased market value is more the factor i'd say.
    50
  27. No Farage and Jenrich do want to leave the ECHR so that they are free to take away rights from Brits. Remember the Retained EU Law Bill which even in its watered down form would take away Women's Right to Equal Pay? The laws it would have removed in its entireity would have taken the UK back to The Industrial Revolution in terms of workers rights.
    50
  28. The reason the US homeless situation is so out of control, especially in cities like LA is a combination of local ordinances, complete lack of provisions for the mentally ill or those who simply cannot afford rent, the impossibility of being hired with a prison sentence when 1% of the population is incarcerated at any given time... the list goes on. Australia has homeless, and the way things are going with housing we are rapidly heading towards the Japanese situation with an entire class of Gainfully employed people who are homeless because rents are too high. But most destitute or mentally ill people do receive some form of welfare and care.
    48
  29. I was half convinced it was a scam when I was notified about a class action against my bank last year.
    48
  30. Most talked about of the decade? Most forgotten movie of the decade more like.
    45
  31. Yep, I've looked at this case, and its a wealthy woman they have targeted, her age and childhood circumstances are irrelevant. But its still an excessive fine. Whether they call it a civil penalty or if they call it a kumquat, its still a fine.
    41
  32. I don't think it's half as ridiculous as making Anne Boleyn black. It crosses a whole 'nother line when they start race-swapping actual historical figures. But yeah, it's all bad. And of course it had to be Snape, I don't think I'd even care if it was say, Flitwick, but Snape is such a well described character. That said, I'm still waiting for them to announce a black actor playing Ron, because there is nothing Hollywood likes more than taking a redheaded female (Ginny in this case) and making her black. Of course they already made Hermione black in Cursed Child, so maybe that's where they're headed. Still less irritating than Snape that actually.
    41
  33. The real reason she wasn't invited to the Oscars had nothing to do with limited seating or backroom deals. It was because she was supposed to be shooting a scene that day. And when she threw a tantrum and had to be there to present an award, the whole shooting schedule for the film she was being paid a Million dollars to star in got disrupted, costing the studio a lot of money and lord knows what other knock on effects with everyone else on the cast from the extras to catering staff.
    40
  34. Its surprising they don't charge them for the courtesy tow given the whole thing seems run as a scam. Unless you want to be generous and just say its complete ineptitude. Three things to fix it. 1 signage warning that it will happen/has happened. 2. Designated parking zones fpr the towed vehicles. 3 Record the Regos of the towed vehicles and where they were placed, use the regos to contact the owners and inform them of their vehicles location.
    40
  35. The real issue is Louis left nothing to his first 6 kids, including Jerry 3rd, all the millions went to his second wife and their 25 year old daughter. Shame the guy can't live rent free anymore, but them's the breaks.
    37
  36. The problem of having Judges, DAs and Sheriffs the result of public elections rather than them being hired and promoted from within the department based on qualification and merit. And that's without even getting into the issue of "campaign contributions" which are more accurately referred to as bribes.
    35
  37. I remember a story a few years ago about an adolescent male who had received his 17th suspended sentence for breaking the conditions of the suspension. You had to wonder if a. The Judge knew how suspended sentences are supposed to work and b. how anyone expects criminals to reform to learn when they face no punishment.
    34
  38. That redhead automatically calling the people complaining racist when race wasn't even mentioned, now that's an issue. As for the protagonist being female, depends how its done. If the story is handled well and isn't anachronistic I really don't care, nothing wrong with awesome female warriors if they're done right. Let's wait till we actually have gameplay before deciding whether its woke or not. So far I see nothing to complain about. Of course I had no idea about the actresses personal eccentricities, I actually didn't even realise the character was female until now. But still, I am prepared to give the benefit of the doubt, for now. Will see the truth in a year and then I can decide whether to buy it if it ever reaches PC, probably sometime around 2030.
    33
  39. Two things occur to me. With 4 million dollars she can afford to hire a qualified accountant, and with 4 million dollars she can afford to hire her own lawyer and doesn't need the Institute for Justice. Although I can well understand why the IfJ would have an interest in the outcome of this case. Also it is 100% an excessive fine.
    31
  40. Where I live the government tends to repair the same stretch of perfectly fine road every year while ignoring nearby roads that are in atrocious condition. In particular the main street of the city is in terrible condition and is just getting worse, its not some back road, its the main street of a city of 300,000.
    30
  41. Japan has its own housing problem. Do a video on the gainfully employed homeless people of Japan.
    29
  42. Not the only one he missed. Pink Floyd had problems with their big pink balloon pig in the battersea powrr station album cover. They had to employ a sharpshooter in case it got loose.
    28
  43. One of the things we are told to look out for when working as Stadium Security is people with too many phones, laptops etc. Because there can be a few minutes delay between events happening live and them being broadcast overseas, they sit and watch the live game and place bets on things before the overseas agencies catch up to events. This story is different, but close enough.
    28
  44. Wendy's is one of those confusing ones for me, because Australia has its own Wendy's chain which is very different from the US one. They sell Ice Cream, Milkshakes and Hotdogs from small kiosks in shopping Malls.
    28
  45. In Australia eggs are generally sold unrefrigerated, but we put them in the fridge as soon as we get home. Of course we have to deal with hot temperatures Europe rarely sees.
    26
  46. There are other questions as well. What happened to the excess money, is this one of those cases where the government keeps the change, back-taxes were 5% of the sale price, but we'll just keep all of it. And how much was the property sold for? Is this another one of these "auctions" where the property goes for 1/10 of its market value? Possibly to a campaign contributor?
    24
  47. Needs to be shot in Spanish I reckon, then dubbed to English with Spanish voice actors so the accents are right. A new Master and Commander, but a run rather than a chase. Epic anyways.
    23
  48. Slapp suits.
    23
  49. I've seen quite a few people driving on the wrong side of the road outside Avalon Airport, very dangerous. And all along The Great Ocean Road they now have signs up reminding people to drive on the left, so it must be a common problem there.
    23
  50. I wonder how many of the "fruitless" traffic stops actually resulted in a nice chunk of Civil Asset Forfeiture for the police to spend on coffee machines and other toys.
    22
  51. I wonder how this law will affect the Hollywood practice of paying a shell company all their profits so they can claim a movie made zero profit and avoid paying actors and directors their cut.
    20
  52. Also the Austin 7 popularised the modern control layout of ignition key, 3 pedals and gear-stick in the middle. Admittedly Cadillac invented the layout, but Austin made it famous.
    19
  53. The registration thing should really only affect people who turn 18 in the same week as an election, maybe same month if they live on a remote ranch. For anyone else there is no reason not to register during the year or so it takes for a US election to happen.
    19
  54. Did they even tell him about the court date?
    19
  55. Seems the issue is not the Undue Hardship clause but rather the interpretation that hardship means any minor inconvenience to a multi-billion dollar company. After all an organisation as large as the USPO should be able to easily accommodate Sundays off for some employees without hardship.
    18
  56. I'll select anonymous, while being interviewed on camera and by name in an international broadcast....
    18
  57. Hardly surprising, the IOC has always taken a blind eye to atrocities. Germany in '36 rings a bell. Or the recent Beijing games.
    17
  58. We already know their plans, they're detailed in Project 2025, aka. Trump's Manifesto. Dismantle the Board of Education, the IRS, OSHA, FDA, FEC, FTC,, EPA, FEMA, NOAA, DOJ and Social Security; End all government support for Veterans, Farmers and Fishermen; and Repeal the Affordable Care Act. Sell off what they can to private investors such as Musk and just destroy the rest. And what's left of the government will be staffed by loyalty tests instead of merit.
    17
  59. Its all changing now as people universally build ugly grey concrete blocks, but traditionally there is a bit of variation between places. In the Outback the Australian Bungalow is pretty standard, single story weatherboard, wide verandah, tin roof. In North Qld houses are built on stilts for better airflow underneath to keep cool. Also good in floods. Older houses in Geelong have a distinctive look with a slightly rounded front and are made of brick. Melbourne has its townhouses and Ballarat has a lot of houses that are very long and narrow as well as a mix of other styles. There is also the Federation style with its wrought verandah railings.
    17
  60. Bamboo socks is the thing I have noticed for the past year or two. I've tried them and honestly, I still prefer Explorer socks with their wool blend.
    16
  61. The odd thing about the groundstone axe mentioned is that it predates other ground axes in Australia by about 40,000 years. There was a major ground greenstone axe industry in south-eastern Australia in the late Pleistocene, but there is at least a 30,000 year gap where the technology goes out of observed use.
    16
  62. Was gonna say, could be worse, could be the Thunderstruck Volleyfire,. where the one thing you won't hit is the target you are shooting at.
    16
  63. Why do they still call it the revolutionary guard decades after the revolution?
    15
  64. TBF, with a grenade launcher you don't usually have to actually hit the target precisely.
    15
  65. Sadly it was a similar story in Australia. The Stolen Generations. But at least we did away with it by 1969, I can't believe it was still happening in the 1980s, so much for enlightened Canada.
    15
  66. Was such an awesome name. It's a crying shame that its now considered to have never existed. Apparently it was one of the many faked reconstructions of the early twentieth century where for the sake of fame and funding. Ironically the actual animal was the Apatosaurus which means deceptive lizard. Be nice if we could swap the two names around.
    15
  67. The fact the city sold it for 1/100 its value is also an issue, was this one of those public auctions where there was only one bidder because the notice as posted in a basement behind a locked door? I don't think its the Council being ripped off, I think its good old fashioned corruption. Auction house gives 50K as a perfectly legal Campaign Contribution and when tax auctions come up, strangely they are the only ones who know its happening, oh and there is no reserve.
    15
  68. Plus 10additional years for each child because they were children.
    15
  69. Don't get me started on Uber. I am still very angry that the Victorian Government elected to deregulate the Taxi industry, costing Taxi owners and taxpayers Millions of dollars; instead of prosecuting Uber and its drivers for their flagrant violation of the law which would have resulted in millions of dollars of fines levied against the company at the very least, if not billions of dollars and jail time.
    15
  70. The real question is why they are only stealing amounts over $5,000. Is it so the people can't Sue in Small Claims Court?
    14
  71. The GPS for my primary workplace's entrance is off by about 200 yards, still part of same property, but at a blank fence, and that is enough to completely befuddle many food delivery drivers.
    14
  72. Was a lot better 20 years ago, before John Howard took away 30% of its funding to pay for the Private Health Insurance Rebate. Still easily better than the US lack of a system though.
    14
  73. That's the Flinders Ranges to the north of Adelaide, and there are indeed mountains there. Its a truly beautiful area. The Great Dividing Range of course goes all the way up the East coast, although it has several names depending on the region including the Snowy Mountains around the source of the Murray and The Blue Mountains near Sydney.
    14
  74. My dad was a stockman at Alexandria Station back when it was 11,000 square miles and the biggest farm in the world. Before most of it had to get sold off because of a law restricting the amount of foreign ownership of Australian land was introduced. And back then they still used horses almost exclusively, it was long before helicopter herding.
    13
  75. The other advantage of having the Weather Gauge is if the enemy fleet is in your lee you can cut off their wind with your sails, effectively stalling them while you can still manoeuvre.
    13
  76. The kicker is that these vehicles are only banned from 11pm till 5am, as in the time when everyone is at home asleep and there is no real reason to complain about them destroying the scenery.
    12
  77. I biked to school in Prep. Was walking alone by grade 4. Of course Australia is safer than the USA, but even so.
    12
  78. What happened was John Howard slashed the Import Tariffs and the market became flooded with cheap foreign imports.
    12
  79. If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. - Joseph Goebbels
    12
  80. Does the extended version include the rest of The Practice? Also, JAG.
    12
  81. 09:31 He's sitting on an ostrich. Note the white feathers compared to the black heads and brown necks of the emus in the next image. Ostrich eyes are different too, bigger.
    12
  82. Australian Sates, bit easier than US right off the bat. I could probably only name 20 of the United States, let alone pinpoint them.
    12
  83.  @minigpracing3068  Worth baring in mind the gun is a proof of concept, its .22 Rimfire its not actually intended as a serious BUG. If it had found sales success then further development would have seen improvements.
    12
  84. Even in the US I have to imagine that whipping out a gun in a store is going to send "give me all your money' signals.
    11
  85. It'd be 60,000. A standard Truck with duel tanks holds 1000Lt, a tanker transports a LOT more.
    11
  86. First thing that comes to mind for me with the liable section, if they leave a gate open and livestock (or pets) escape, but aren't damaged. Its negligent, but no damage. Hope the Judge agrees with the spirit of the law.
    11
  87. I grew up on Clarke and Dawe, and they're almost all pure gold.
    11
  88. That Australian Flag which is essentially the Eureka Flag palette swapped with a Union Jack stuck on needs a further video.
    11
  89. Regarding Taxes, its vital to recognize that for Low Income Earners, the millions of people on less than 50k a year or so,, the GST is effectively a 10% Income Tax on top of their other Income Taxes. Its been like that since it was introduced, its a millstone around the necks of the poor, while the wealthy don't even notice it.
    11
  90. The pay gap is partly reflective of women not working as much in order to raise kids, but its mostly to do with the fact that most Billionaire CEOs and Hedge Fund Managers are male. When it comes to any ordinary working-class or middle-class job men and women have had equal pay for decades. I mean she's the PM, she can pass laws banning wage discrimination, but the problem is those laws already exist. I say again, they won't be happy until men aren't allowed to work.
    11
  91. It's notable that a Russian State Media Reporter was in the meeting and Livestreaming.
    10
  92. These days you also have to make sure your wallet has a jammer built in because thieves can access your cards chip with concealable devices just by walking past you.
    10
  93. North Korean King.
    10
  94. Yep, pretty bad. Stick with a break-action it will actually fire when you pull the trigger.
    10
  95. Not really the top. Labor's Fibre to the Home plan was 50 Mb/s on 3 years at a time when some countries already had 1000 Mb/s and the average in Europe and America was 250-500 Mb/s. But the Liberals of course went for Fibre to the Node with an optimal speed of 25 Mb/s falling off sharply if you lived more than 2 houses away from the node so for most people it was 1-5 Mb/s. And doing that halfway measure over 10 years instead of 3.
    10
  96. Just going to point out, she imagined herself flying a plane, when planes hadn't been invented yet.
    10
  97. Nice to have some good news for once.
    10
  98.  @Adyen11234  LOL, indeed. Although actually most poll workers are volunteers, mostly retirees, who get paid a nominal $20-30 a day, so its not actually that expensive, does need some funding, but how much do those machines cost? Paper Ballots are always more secure too. Also helps that we have clear and consistent rules set out by an Independent National Electoral Commission so you don't have eg. 3 different ways to vote in 3 different Counties in the same State, let alone nationally, And because voting is compulsory there is no motivation to disenfranchise people.
    10
  99. You need to react to some of the old Hard Earned Thirst VB adds. Oh and all these private signs aside, (I suspect the rude outback signs are on Stations at that), the official anti-drinking slogan sponsored by the TAC government body was "If you drink then drive, you're a bloody idiot", which certainly summed it up a lot better than the modern PC adds do.
    9
  100. Even in the dry you can have your whole vehicle swallowed by ruts hidden by bulldust.

  101. The Renaissance probably has a lot to do with it, the re-discovery of Ancient Rome, Greece and Egypt and the Neo-classical movement through the filtered lens of historians at that time working with fragments of text already 1500 years old.

  102. Pretty sure the Exhaust heat would melt the LED thing after a short time.

  103. Metric was a lot less complicated when they weren't defining things by universal constants and instead just had it all based on the distance between the equator and the North Pole and the volume of fresh water at sea level, which all those complicated maths are replicating based on Caesium atom vibrations. But for the layman its still the same. 1ml of fresh water weighs 1g and fills a 1cm3 box. Its all translatable 1:1 That's the real reason Metric is superior, within a measurement its all base 10, distance, volume, weight and its dead easy to convert them. Plus Celsius temperature, At Sea Level Fresh Water Freezes at 0 degrees and boils at 100. As opposed to Fahrenheit where you mix water, ice and ammonium chloride to get a system that matches up to nothing in nature.

  104. A coach is just a specific type of bus, specifically the type with only one door. But yes, Bus Replacement Available is a very well known event, and is rarely a good thing as it means extensive delays.

  105. India is The Subcontinent, Australia is a Continent.
    9
  106. The problem with the rich and their greed is that they are never satisfied. Earning enough every year to last a lifetime? Got to earn that much every month, then every week, every day, every hour. And they just horde that wealth, they don't spend more than a fraction of it and they don't pay taxes. Corporate mindset: If your revenue doesn't double every six months the company is failing, even if it has consistent billion dollar profits. You need perpetual growth in a finite world, and when the bill comes due, just declare bankruptcy and start a new company. The world where CEO's get paid millions and workers cannot afford bread.

  107. This is probably why in Australia we are supposed to return old licence plates when we get new ones. We also get the balance of the rego from the old plates back and iirc a deposit fee back.
    8
  108. You can also contact the bank and explain the situation. Get an extension on the loan, get the interest frozen and settle on a new payment plan you can afford. Any reasonable lender will work with you to ensure they eventually get their money back.

  109. The whole lunch order convo. That made me laugh, I got everything they were saying, but I doubt Wrocker caught more than 3 words.

  110. $2300 a week, you could buy a good car for 2-3 weeks worth of those fees, although second hand cars do always come with associated risk. Still, insane fees.
    8
  111. One question still remaining, how long will a timber skyscraper last? Is that comparable to steel and concrete? Also, earthquake resistance? Got to be better than steel right?
    8
  112. I suspect a lot of places, like the Auction Houses for example, have a deal with him. He is a firearms expert, useful to have him examine the pieces for authenticity and flaws, and of course he promotes them for the auction. That is an assumption though, Ian would have to confirm. And as he says, networking etc, and why collect if you can't let the world know how special your collection is, and museums want to spread knowledge, and accept him due to his expertise and reputation.
    8
  113. 2:05 I'm pretty sure the original poster was referring to the Ukrainian Constitution which expressly forbids elections when Martial Law has been declared. The Ukrainian Constitution was written during the breakup of the USSR and was written with fears of a Soviet re-invasion in mind, 30 years later those fears came true.
    8
  114. The Tips as wages thing is almost exclusively a US thing and is designed to assist employers at the expense of employees and really customers too. Better to just add the extra 15% to the bill and pay a higher base salary and then if the service is good people can tip on top of that, but expecting people to make up half their wages from tips alone is stupid. Especially bad when even the minimum wage is 1/3 to 1/4 of what a server would get paid for the same job in another country, without halving it avian to account for tips. One can't survive on $6 an hour, let alone less than $3.

  115. Assuming your dating is correct. Although really its just more evidence that the genus was more diverse than generally assumed, goes with other findings from Eurasia and even with H. floriensis and its primitive wrists. Anyway, interesting.
    8
  116. Neo-Liberal Economics is a carefully constructed and extremely obvious lie that the pointlessly rich created to maintain their ivory thrones. Its never stood up to a minute of rational thought. End of story.

  117. He's practically hovering, more of a helicopter landing.

  118. What Ukraine wants is pretty simple, their country back, all of it, including Crimea. Some reparations for the Trillions of dollars worth of property and land damage and all the innocent lives lost would be also be good. Oh and the stolen children returned to their parents.

  119. Its good to have your banks app on your phone and have it set to alert you about unexpected withdrawals or credit charges.

  120. Black Friday has been making inroads in Australia for the last few years, but our equivalent is really Boxing Day Sales, the day after Christmas when all the excess stock goes on sale, good time to spend your gift vouchers. Used to be that Black Friday referred to a massive bushfire in 1938-1939 where the skies of Melbourne were darkened by the smoke.

  121. When a property that was worth 270K over 15 years ago sells for 19k, it's not nitpickers, its a scam. Someone on the board is using the HOA for profit.

  126. Except that its not really $44 Million worth of books, that may be the Retail value, but its not costing the Publisher $30 or $40 per copy, its costing them whatever it costs to print one copy, now I don't know what that costs, but I'm guessing its less than $5, probably less than $1 for most books. And it makes sense that one copy goes to the Library of Congress to store it for future record, quite aside from copywrite issues. However Postage should be Free, Its a government demand after all, so the government shipping company should handle it.

  128. Hazard signs are taken from UK, speed limits from UN and the rest from US, but with our own distinctions. Like the sensible Give Way instead of the obscure and demanding Yield. Yield what?

  129. You hear about jobs in America where not only is the Minimum Wage half what it should be because of expected tips, but the businesses are then allowed to pay Below Minimum Wage because the difference is expected to be made up in tips, so the tips need to be twice as big to compensate. Just pay your employees more and set your prices accordingly America.

  140. Australia’s average download speed is 58.83Mbps with an average upload speed of 21.44Mbps (as of December 2020). That puts us 61st in the world. But the numbers are skewed, because we have Fibre to the Node, you can have triple the internet speed just by living 2-3 houses closer to the Node and big cities get vastly better service than regional areas.

  142. 14:04 The Blue thing, brings up an issue with every single digital alarm clock currently available. Digital clocks used to have dim Red LEDs that provided an illuminated display you could in the dark, but dim enough that they didn't illuminate anything else. All current models of Digital Clock have bright white or blue numbers that cast enough light to navigate by, you could almost read by it. And white light shining on your face while trying to sleep, not conducive to a good night sleep, especially as we are evolved to wake up when white light shines on our face. I fixed mine by taping some red cellophane over the front, added cost of about 50 cents to make a vastly more useful product.

  146. Most Road Trains are 2-3 trailers, the mining ones are exceptions. For long trips its not uncommon to have two drivers, one sleeps while the other drives to keep the truck moving, while complying with the mandated rest periods. They stop for fuel and maintenance, as well as food and inspections, but mostly, they keep rolling.

  147. You missed the housing crisis effect on lower income earners. Half the population spending more than half their pay on rent does not contribute to economic growth.

  148. It's also 'generally' true in Australia that evens are on one side, odds on the other, but there are exceptions. I remember back in Ballarat, Humphrey Street, longest street in the city, one of the only streets in the entire city where it was numbered sequentially instead of the split norm. Also courts tend to be numbered in a circuit. Melbourne can have some very confusing numbers because for some streets (High Street for example) they restart the numbers every suburb, and the suburbs are rarely signed. As for this Lot number property, if its out in the country and the title date is from the 1800s, Squatter's Leases may be a factor in why it was numbered such.

  149. Australian road signs are a combination of the UK and US systems. We basically cherry picked the best sign for the job from both, and then added highway numbers which no-one understands or cares about because overseas people like them. We do not use that Eu no-stopping sign, at least not enough that anyone would recognise it.

  150. If the case is as you read it, the allegation is that this artificial citrous is labeled on the box, but as a flavouring and the allegation is that it can act as a preservative and so the claim that there are no artificial preservatives is therefore false. So even if someone was allergic, well the ingredient is labelled so no case. Its a semantic argument

  151. Depends how smart they are, even juyst $100 of new minted coins will throw up flags at a bank after this, they'll have to filter it through a lot of small businesses I am guessing, can't put them all in coin deposit atms it would get noticed. They'll probably use casinos and horse tracks Dunno. Its cash, its fungible, but that's a lot of shiny small value coins.

  152. All terrible options. It should be Jan 1, the date of Federation. Or if people insist on keeping the extra holiday, go with July 9th, the date that Queen Victoria signed off on it, Can replace the Queen's unBirthday celebration around the same time. Also we need a new flag, gold kangaroo on green background.

  161. I was going to blame the US system of having separate town departments instead of State Police running everything, and then I remembered that small towns in Victoria have lost their police service because of under recruitment and the allocation of resources. Even so, I still think one state force is better than a state force, plus a highway force, plus a sheriff department, plus the local cops all with overlapping jurisdictions.

  173. Its decades past time that the Federal Government took some serious action on this and ended the whole need for corner crossing by resolving the checkboard situation permanently. They can offer a 1 for 1 land swap where private land goes public and public land goes private so you end up with contiguous boundaries for both areas. If the landowners refuse, then Eminent Domain, to force an Easement at the very least, if not total acquisition where appropriate.

  176. I don't know the legal details; but I can see where the Jury comes from. He isn't guilty of Malice Murder because he has mental issues, but he still committed the murder, so they found he was guilty of Felony Murder with Mental Issues. Not a contradiction to my mind, but justice.

  184. Australia has paper ballots only, all counted by hand and its virtually all counted overnight without issue, by the end of the weekend at least. Oh yes, our elections are on a Saturday so that its easier for working people to vote. You just need enough volunteers. Now admittedly our national population is about the same as New York state, but that just means you can have more volunteers.

  186.  @sandrarobinson3266  The rebate on Private Health is a bad thing, it takes Billions of dollars out of Medicare and Public Hospitals just so those who are rich enough to be able to afford Private Health Insurance are even better off, while not making it affordable for the Loe Income Earners who pay for the rebate with the Medicare Levy.

  188. Speaking as former Airport Security. If I saw a mass of organic material inside an electronic device like an Xbox on the x-ray, I'd tell my supervisor we had a potential IED. Not a smart place to put money. Consoles are worse than PCs to scan at the best of times, you should always separate them, but especially don't have a thick block of organic matter inside one. The money was bound to be found and considered suspicious. But money isn't illegal, we'd probably not report it once identified as cash, certainly not for a domestic flight, although that would be the supervisor's decision. Regardless, in the absence of any actual threat or contraband, the money should not have been seized.

  189. There is an excellent video of Stephen Fry explaining the laws of cricket. Better than the overview vids most youtubers react to, although you shpuld react to both. Cricket is similar to baseball, vut less complicated rules and more opportunities for batter skill.

  199. Personally I think the roads would be a lot safer if police started pulling over the 95% of drivers who don't know how to indicate, the 80% of drivers who don't use their lights in poor visibility conditions including dusk and the 5% of drivers who constantly tailgate. A little less focus on people doing 5km above the speed limit and more focus on actual hazards can only be a good thing. It won't happen though, every couple of years the speed limits get dropped by 10km/h for no reason, but there has never been a focus on actual hazards in my experience, after all its still only 1 demerit for not indicating, even when turning across 3 lines of traffic, but 3 demerits for not showing a P plate.

  203. Actually the archaeological and historic consensus was that the "real" Atlantis was the Island of Santorini. Around 1600BC Santorini was part of the Minoan civilization which had its capital at Knossos on Crete. Then the volcano that formed Santorini exploded with so much force that it was visible from the Nile Delta and put forth enough ash to lower temperatures around the Mediterranean for 2 years, and of course a massive Tsunami which devastated Crete amongst others. This led to the rapid fall of the Minoans who were eventually conquered by the Myceneans. Fast forward to Plato visiting Egypt and he heard the legend of the fall of the Minoans and used it as the basis for his parable.

  209. High Speed Chases have been mostly outlawed in Australia, mostly out of fear of situations like this. and leading to some rather high profile criminal escapes. I can't even remember the last time I saw an Ambulance or Fire Truck exceeding the speed limit, even when running the lights on a mostly empty highway in perfect weather.

  211. Watch some Steve Lehto, HOA's are apparently far more common in America than even Americans realise, practically unheard of in the rest of the world, we just have councils.

  216. I saw a different video on this years ago, about the time the US was banning imports of European chocolate thanks to lobbying by American companies. The main difference is US chocolate is not allowed to contain vegetable oil, by law. Yet its a crucial ingredient in the rest of the world. Also, a lot of corn starch instead of cane sugar. Sadly I can't remember which channel had the video, maybe HAI?

  226. Claims 5 largest abandoned cities and focuses on the small ones that were less abandoned and more made uninhabitable. Biggest miss is obviously Teotihuacan, the city with an estimated population of 125,000 just 40 miles from present Mexico City, which thrived from the 2nd-5th century AD, but was completely abandoned by 900AD. But there are also plenty of extinct capitals from the Levant, through northern India and throughout Asia, as well as Mesoamerica.

  227.  @jessicakrios9382  I know. But it had to be said. There is a movie called The Final Countdown (1980) where the Nimitz and Only the Nimitz is sent back to just before Pearl Harbor. But they get sent back to present before they engage more than a couple of scout zeroes. Frankly the biggest problem with that entire movie is the captain is so stupid he does nothing to secure POWs who would rather die than be captured, no cuffs or Brig, and it goes about as well as you'd expect.

  230. There's two AFL teams from Melbourne that technically have their home grounds in Tasmania, a state that the AFL has repeatedly refused to allow to have their own team. I feel that they should change their names, but not about to sue over it. Tasmania should though. Personally I have bigger issues, such as the stupid away uniforms they introduced a few years ago, but it niggles at me.

  231. I like the 'When workers present' bit, I wish we had that in Australia because so often the road will be a workzone off for months for a couple of days of actual work and the workzone might not even be on the actual main road. And that's without getting into driving the stretch at midnight. Oh and when they are mowing and its 10km of 40km/h when they are only operating on 200m of that stretch at a time. This is why people don't slow down for workzones, because 90% of the time there isn't any workers.

  232.  @daviddavidson6278  The Chinese companies building the projects. Sri Lanka is a prime example, I don't know about the bridge but its common knowledge about the harbour. The money was lent by China under the condition that it was built with Chinese labourers, who were supplied with all their needs by China, clothing and food, so all the money went straight back to China with zero stimulus to the local economy, and then when Sri Lanka couldn't service the debt, China got themselves a nice new naval base, at least until India started sending in warships to say No, not happening. Its the same story everywhere Belt and Road Initiative goes.

  247. Its far from uncommon for dogs to be required to be restrained when in a motor vehicle, what's less common is people following the law. The reasons for said law are multiple: an unrestrained dog can be a distraction for the driver, jumping on their lap, getting in the way of the gear lever, etc. Or just jumping around. If the window is open, or if its in the tray of a ute/pickup the dog may jump out of the vehicle to pursue something. Even having the dogs head out of the window can be dangerous as particles may get blown into the dogs eyes. And finally, if there is an accident its safer to be buckled up.

  257. Plus there are plenty of industries where 60+ hour weeks are still all too common. Both high paying like Game Development and low-end like security where a 12 hour day is fairly standard. Add in people who need to work 2 or more jobs to pay rent, all the troubles with shift work breaking sleep cycles. And people are simply less productive when they are tired.

  258. What a Liar. His Family have only been in Britain for 300 years. 1714 is When George Ludwig of Hanover took over from the Queens of William of Orange, a Dutchman. And there's hardly anyone on the planet who can't trace their family back several generations.

  264. The turn signal law for roundabouts should be (and is in Australia for example) that you put the signal on to indicate which way you are turning when you leave the roundabout, so if you are going straight, no signal, if left or right you put the indicator on as you approach the roundabout, generally about where the dividing line starts to expand into the triangle. And you keep the signal on until you approach your exit. then if practicable its also advisable to indicate when exiting the roundabout, especially important on massive roundabouts or ones with more than 4 roads entering. It's actually pretty intuitive.

  267. I used to work at an inner-city supermarket at the annual stock loss was indeed huge, they had to employ a full time security guard just to try and keep it down. And a small Coles is nothing comparted to an American Walmart. It's not just the full-scale shoplifting either, its the small things that add up, like every other person taking a handful of nuts and not paying for it. Adds up fast.

  268. GPS isn't always right. My workplace for example, the GPS says the entrance is about 200ft short of where it actually is and delivery drivers get confused all the time by the fence when if they just drove for 10 more seconds they'd see the driveway.

The footage of him being attacked and running away from the first guy he shot does change the story from the narrative of murder though. Nevertheless, if he hadn't been there, and if he didn't have an assault rifle... Also, he could have fired warning shots into the ground before intentionally shooting to kill.

  277. I'm still more offended by Woke of Time. Rings of Power is so far removed from the source material that all the myriad problems just form a kind of grey sludge of blandness. Wheel of Time sticks close enough to the books that the constant betrayals and character assassinations hurt like rubbing dirt in an open wound. And unlike Middle-Earth, WOT's world is already full of the very diversity they crave, with powerful women and multiple human 'races' across the various nations; and yet they still felt the need to rewrite it to promote ethnically diverse world with Mary Sues and Holdens as the "hero's" while making the men clean the stables.

  278. Tipping started in Europe as a thanks for good service. But in the USA it became a to way to employ but not pay Black people in the wake of the Civil War; and then in the 1960s Congress decided that anyone earning tips could be paid below minimum wage and that leads to today.

  279. We don't call sofas lounges, we call them couches and flats and units are different things in Australia. A Unit is a standalone small house on a property with several other units, a flat is more like what you call a condo, sharing walls but opening on to a communal balcony or verandah, and an apartment is when the common passage is indoors.

  285. Its a good idea, and I hope it comes about. You still have the problem though that unlike metal, plastic is not infinitely recyclable. Some types can't be recycled at all, and the ones that can lose strength with each recycle. It would make a significant difference though, especially with water bottles. Ultimately though we need some way of breaking down plastic into its different elements, or even back into oil. Don't think we have the tech for that.

  289. That video is old, Melb house median is now over $1 mil. Australia has pretty much the same problem as the US with zoning being restricted to single family homes. New suburbs are going up every year, but there is almost no medium or high density housing, What few blocks of flats there are tend to be at least 40-50 years old.

  291. The John Campea show was saying that trailers are made 6 months before the movie is finished editing these days, but that they should put a disclaimer in the trailers, which makes sense to me.

  308. You Americans need to stop with the nonsense about Kamala ONLY having 105 days, blaming a 'short campaign' for the loss, talk about nonsense excuses. In any other country the total campaign time is less than 2 months, not 2 F'ing Years! Kamala lost because her one rallying cry was abortion rights and she completely failed to address the real issue of the election which was Cost of Living. Trump actually campaigned on the economy, he lied of course and his policies will make things 1000 times worse, but that was the core issue of the election. Anyway, the best you can hope for is that Trump does invoke 100% of his policies, but that the military refuse to obey his orders to Purge the country of anyone and everyone who says mean things about him. With inflation in the hundreds of percents, all funding for farmers, minorities, veterans, pensioners and the weather service ended and 1/5 of the country rounded up for deportation, well then people can see what the Republicans are truly like for once.

  311. I still don't understand why anyone was shocked by the meeting, it was not just predictable, but a virtual certainty that things would end up the way they have. It's 100% in line with everything Trump has said and done for a Decade. All that surprises me is he didn't cut aid for Ukraine on Day 1. I expected those shipments to be redirected to aid Israel in its destruction of Gaza weeks ago.

  313. Until very recently P-platers in Victoria were not allowed to drive High Powered Vehicles of any kind. No V8s, no Turbo or Superchargers. Of course you can still do 160km/h (100mph) without those, but it did stop them going 250km/h. Speed limit for P platers is 90 Km/h. Removing that restriction was not a sensible move.

  314. IIRC about 1/3 of all prisoners in the USA are people who cannot make bail, and one of the conditions of bail is you must have a fixed place of residence. If they can kick your relatives out of their house for being associated with you, it's going to make bail even harder to obtain. Quite aside from any monetary considerations, which may be worse as your relatives are now out of a house and will find it harder to post your bond as they need money for hotels and new housing.

For someone who supposedly spends most of her time training, she has the sword skills of a 5 year old wearing a blindfold. Stage fighting is more realistic. Whoever the fight choreographer was for this show needs to find a new career. And don't get me started on them wearing steel masks instead of actual helmets, all the downsides of a visor with little actual protection.

I've had several in my car because when the sun is just right it glares below the visor and sunglasses are not enough to block it, I need that second layer of plastic screen. The ones I've used had plastic clips and seemed to be designed to attach to the top of the visor instead of the bottom, which is daft, anyway they just flip down on a hinge. Had 4 over the years, broken 2 of them, one arrived broken , still have one passenger side and I still use it when the sun is just wrong./

But if you are replacing the plates due to damage, getting customs, moving to another state or if the car is wrecked and you are cancelling the registration, they go back to the State.

  358. Australia has its own version of Target which was highly successful for a hundred years but is now in danger of permanently closing all stores. This is because they made several decisions which can only be described as braindead. Some smaller stores stopped selling men's clothes altogether, despite men making up half the population. They stopped selling clothing to fit overweight people, despite that being a huge part of the market. They decided to increase their prices and pursue a higher income clientele, despite their entire business identity and success being based on affordable clothes for those with a limited income. They stopped selling DVDs, which made up a small percentage of overall revenue, but still a noticeable one. And they decided to move their corporate headquarters from Geelong where it was founded, to Melbourne, the most expensive place to live in Australia, a move which cost them billions of dollars and served no practical purpose except to cut down on their executives commute time. It also didn't help that you couldn't buy winter gear in spring or summer gear in autumn, regardless of what the temperatures were.

Even with that broken there was enough stiffness in the swing arm not to flap about willy nilly. It was also the passenger side. Also, it was a 20 year old car and it only broke because my mother yanked on it too hard, not some manufacturing defect, and I had to source a new one from a wreckers, they weren't easily replaceable.

  369. We don't have 4 way stops in Australia as the idea is blatantly daft, such that it could only become popular in America. So thanks for explaining how they work, they always baffle me. Makes sense, Give way to Right... well partially makes sense, we drive on left and give way to right as well. Shouldn't you yield to left as you drive on the right? No wonder people get confused, still the law is the law. Frankly, Roundabouts are far safer and less confusing, as is having a side road with stop/give way signs and a main through road which doesn't. Technically an unmarked 4 way is give way all round, but those are extremely rare these days, except maybe in the back end of nowhere, not found anywhere near any actual settlement. Broken Traffic Lights too.

But it was more of an in general statement about the straw-man argument of how its ok to blackwash today because they whitewashed historically, or its ok to cast women to play the roles of actual historical men because 200 years ago in England it was illegal for women to be on the Stage. Your statements hold no water.
    2
  381.  @TheLightlock  Full answer was censored, because of course it was. Suffice to say that yes the Prohibition was wrong, but you can't justify wrongs today because 200 years ago in England another wrong was committed. Or even 50 years ago in the USA.

  382. The Australia Pastoral Lease system has been in place almost since the beginning. Squatters could Lease as much land as they wanted for $1 pound for a 99 year lease as long as they 'improved the land', was a big deal in the 70s-90s when a lot of the leases were up for renewal, but mostly they got continued, apart from the land that got returned due to Mabo. Its technically government owned, but in real terms the squatters own it. Its more secure than for example Chinese housing where the leases end after 25 years. God, every statement has to have a thousand caveats, history is complicated, but in real terms, they own the land. 44% of Australia's land is held under Pastoral Leases. Even Avalon Airport is under a similar arrangement, technically owned by the Department of Defence, but really owned by Lindsey Fox.

Frankly the whole thing is a sham trial, in most of the incidents brought up by the prosecution character witnesses, even if they were admissible, the stars were not at fault, often they were the victims.

  384.  @daveamies5031  Same in Vic, but now they are bringing in a blue for one as well to separate glass. Well sorta, we just use our old general trash bins, plain green same as bin body for organic waste, we have to use tiny red lid bins for garbage, whether its one person in a house or 15.

  385. North of Cairns there are a lot less paved roads, well once you get past Townsville, Rockhampton and Yeppoon anyway. I dunno about today, but getting to Cooktown at the base of Cape York involved a lot of dirt roads and ford crossings unsuitable for 2wds back in the 90s. North of Cooktown there is a road up to the tip, but its really 4wd only, not a lot of people live up there, just a few military baes and aboriginal communities. Same across Arhnem Land east of Darwin. God, I so want The Grand Tour to go Coast to Coast from Cooktown to Broome, talk about their most epic adventure ever, 24 years of Top Gear/GT and they came to Australia once, and did nothing.

  392. It'd be far more efficient if the different companies just shared the same railyard, with connected track. They can then just swap locomotives, have some borrow/share/lease deal with the rolling stock and save a heck of a lot of time and money by not having to unload onto a truck for a 5 mile trip through the city just to reload.

  398. No, you guys are wrong, a pickup is not a truck. Its vewryu confusing when an American says Truckl because we don't know if they mean a pickup, or a box truck or an 18-wheeler. To be a truck it has to be over a certain size. Same as you call all scooters mopeds based oin their cc even though a moped isn't a moped unless its a motorised and pedal powered vehicle.

  399. That has to be the single most inaccurate description of Gallipoli I have ever heard. Fromm the Remembrance Day poppies to the idea that they were attacking Constantinople.. The campaign was to secure the Dardanelles Straight not Istanbul. The most significant events were that they landed on the wrong beach due to British naval incompetence and so went into the teeth of the Turkish defence instead of sneaking around it. Most of the officers were killed in the initial assault, notable for one company which acting on their known orders of advance just kept pushing forward until they were stopped at Lone Pine, and if a Turkish commander hadn't disobeyed German orders that company might have won the day. Think of the first day like the attack on Guadalcanal . There are stories of heroism and sacrifice, notably Simpson and his donkey, look that up. But the most amazing event of all was when they withdrew 8 months later they managed to get out without a single casualty on the retreat, the only recorded retreat in history with zero casualties, due to rigging their rifles to periodically shoot during the night with buckets of water. But why is ANZAC day so special? It was the first time Australian Troops had seen major combat, out first blood as it were. Australian volunteers did serve in the Bore War, but this was bigger, and under Australian colours.

  400. Australia has the highest UV Rays because we are directly underneath the thinnest part of the Ozone Layer, where the hole used to be bigger than the entire continent. When I was a Kid we used SFP 15+, then it was 30+, now you should always buy 50+ and be sure its not a fake 50. Skin Cancer has been the biggest killer in Australia for decades.

  401. Your argument is flawed, it fails to take into account the outsized influence of Investment Buyers driving up the prices and the governments efforts to protect their investments. Those who own several houses don't want prices to fall, those who can't buy one, which is most people, are rightfully pissed that they cost 4 times more than they should. Millions of families can no longer afford to buy a house at all, which in turn means there are less rental properties so rents have also soured to the point where its impossible for the less affluent to save for a house, which now has a deposit cost higher than the whole house cost just 20 years ago. Add in the increasing wealth gap as we move from 80% of the Pop. being middle income to 50% being Low Income and the problem becomes clear. And the solutions are simple. 1. Ban Negative Gearing and other investment incentives. 2. Wave Stamp Duty and GST for First Home Buyers. 3. Government (or Business) investment in High Density housing for Low to Middle income renters. Which would be profitable, just not double your investment in 6 months profitable.

  406. First Draft makes sense, the important part is that the officer then has to read through the report and make sure their aren't any hallucinations, omissions and other errors. Problem if they don't. Overall it 'should' lead to more accuracy. However the officers interpretation of visual information including body language might be omitted by an AI. And what you mentioned about knowing who said what is crucial, which leads into the other issue, of the officers memory being altered by what the AI has written

  407. That registration thing is really dumb. In Australia we used to have a registration sticker on the windscreen, now its just data and they can check it when they run the plate, which is a worse system. But compared to the US where you have to keep the papers in the glovebox, honestly, why does the US still think its the 19th century?

Major investment in High Density Housing for low income renters. Major government investment in State of Federal government owned clean energy production. Hydrogen Fuel infrastructure. The Ratings board needs the authority to rate games based on gambling content so all Loot Box games can get an R18+ rating. Related, need bans on all pay-to-win systems in games; not just loot boxes, but paywalls, time savers, pay-to-skip, etc. Better internet. Enforcement of laws such as the smoking bans, and indicator usage when driving. Petrol Price Commissioner Proper income taxes a[plied to the wealthy and a Tax Refund of up to $3,000 for those earning less than $40,000 pa to offset the GST which is effectively a 10% income tax at that wage level. The minimum taxable income to be about 30k. The base minimum wage to be the same regardless of age, specifically 16 year olds should not be paid less than 18 or 25 year olds, which removes the incentive for supermarkets and fast food to hire school kids and ignore the actual unemployed. Legal Euthanasia and Assisted Suicide. The death penalty for Crimes that Shock the Conscience if proven beyond Conceivable Doubt. ie. Intentional Murder of 3 or more people with plenty of witnesses, rape, child abuse, slavery, sadistic murder, torture. And no mucking about with a 10 year appeals process, they die the Monday morning after they are found guilty. If only guilty beyond Reasonable Doubt its Life in prison with no possibility of parole. Just a few suggestions. Also all politicians should be thrown in prison the second they are elected to save time. Politicians to either be paid minimum wage, and better, have to have to live on minimum wage for 2 years before being allowed to hold office so they know what its like. A focus by Unions on minimum hours, not just 2c pay increases. Proper funding for Universities, we have had the worst funded Tertiary Education system in the developed world for 20 years now. A large pipe from QLD to Vic which can be used to funnel flood water to areas effected by drought. Seveal Australian owned firefighting helicopters and planes.

Netball was invented when a teacher in New Orleans received a diagram of a basketball court and the positions players might take, and believed it was literal in that each position was set and that you could not move with the ball. Little more complicated than that, but its the gist. The jerseys the girls wear designate their position and they can't move out of their part of the court. You can't move at all with the ball, only the Goal Shooters and Goal Attack players can score and contact is strictly prohibited. Its not meant to be exclusively a girls sport, but you never hear of the male leagues.

  419. Stan is a streaming service, hence the mention of Hulu. We don't have Hulu, HBO Max, Peacock and several others. Stan and a couple of others had a huge advantage over Netflix initially because Netflix didn't bother launching in Australia for years, and when it did arrive it was missing 4/5 of its content because the rights had already been sold to Stan and a couple others.

  422. The story of the Johnston and this battle would make an incredible movie. Have to ask though, if they had 25 minutes between the Evacuation order and the ship going down, why did 186 fail to make it off? Were they injured/KIA from the lengthy battle? Or were they busy still firing the guns and avoiding enemy fire till the very end?

  423. The other HUGE Issues are: 1. The Earth is running out of Lithium. 2. Manufacturing those batteries is extremely bad for the environment anyway, plus so much of the world still uses Fossil Fuels and Nuclear to generate electricity so EVs aren't any better for the environment than Internal Combustion anyway, in fact they can be much worse. 3. The Batteries have a maximum life of about 10 years, 5 years with Fast Charging, after which the car is a Write Off. 4. Everyone knows Hydrogen is the real answer, it's no slower to refuel than an LPG pump, doesn't need tons of batteries and the exhaust is pure water. And you don't need a new battery pack that costs the same as a new car after 5 years. The tech already exists, it just needs infrastructure, which could be accommodated by existing Fuel companies if they though it worth the investment. The cost versus the infrastructure for Fast Charging makes it more viable too.

  424. Its really not that complicated. Colonial Exploitation for Africa, SE Asia and South America even into the middle of the 20th century. Followed by decades of war (civil, territorial and other) and dictators only interested in their own power and profit and not the prosperity of the nation they rule. Meanwhile the World Powers continue the exploitation, mostly through private companies, as well as political meddling. They are poor because they first had the British and Spanish and other European boots on their neck which was then swapped out for a local boot which the US happily added Lead to.

Also the profit isn't quite so cut and dried because the graves have to be looked after for many years, decades, potentially centuries after the plot has been sold. Another incentive for 'green cemeteries'. Give it a decade and you can reuse the plot and there is very little upkeep.

  451.  @coopsnz1  Live in opposite land do you? Thexreason we have gone from 10L 80M 10H to 50L 30M 20VH is Howard's removal and reduction of social safety nets and worker protection laws; the rolling back of high income taxes for the rich in favour of the GST which puts a 10% income tax burden even on those below the tax threshold; the housing crisis caused in part by a lack of high density building but mostly because of all the investment buyer incentives; HECS which TBF Keating introduced but Howard made worse. Oh the list goes on.

Unless most modern cars have really small tanks (or are just more efficient than my old Honda), Although prices have dropped substantially in the last month, from ~$2 a litre back down to ~$1.60. $100 a week does sound about right though.

Legal ownership be damned, New Who has Never been cannon, from the start its gone out of its way to insult classic Doctor Who, with at least 3 Major continuity errors in every episode, often dozens of minor ones and the whole thing based not on sci-fi, but ure children's fantasy. As in written by children for very young children, because no one over the age of 5 is going to accept nonsense like The Moon is a Giant Egg.

  501. I still think the US system is weird. In Australia all public streets and the land either side of them, as well as the banks of all navigable rivers are Crown Land. The property line stops a few yards from the road. Only exceptions are private roads that run through a property, farm properties usually, and there's a whole different set of laws dealing with Aboriginal Land and I have no idea how they work.

  507. The future is Hydrogen, all electric vehicles are doing is slowing the adoption of the real solution.
    2
  508.  @ilkkak3065  Hydrogen Fuel Cells are tested and safe, you can shoot them and they don't explode. And fuelling is identical to LPG fuelling. The main issue is Hydrogen is hard to store, it leaks, which is why they tend to store it bonded to metal plates. Anyway the tech has been around for 20 years, Honda had working cars in the 2000s that were no slower to fill up than an LPG car, but there wasn't the fuelling infrastructure to support mass rollout. Well there wasn't the fast charging infrastructure either and that didn't stop Tesla.
    2
  509. It does seem stupid that they aren't marked as switched when installed. There should be a visible indicator on the panel. Like that grey outlet you installed, but it should be standardised.
    2
  510. Hydrogen is the future and the EV craze is delaying important development in that future. All the money cities are spending on EV charging stations, could get some Hydrogen infrastructure installed instead. Fuels up like you do with LPG, 2 minutes not 2 hours and the bi-product is water. Needs a lot of energy to generate it, but so do EVs, and its a way to store all that excess Green Energy the grids can't handle.
    2
  511. Flats tend to have private outside access from a communal balcony, apartments have communal hallways like the US. There is some crossover, flat can apply to apartment as well, and even include small Units, a Unit being a very small house 1-2 bedrooms not part of a larger apartment building or block of flats but on the same block of land as several other units.
    2
  512. People making more each year? If they are in the highest income brackets yes. Wage growth is static for low income earners in both the US and Australia. In Australia low in come workers have much the same hourly rate as they did 20 years ago, except they work less hours and the price of everything from fuel to rent has doubled. House Prices have actually quadrupled.
    2
  513.  @summer-west  Fuel and Airport Fees alone would probably be more than 50k, they would almost certainly cost more than the accommodation, even for 300 passengers. All in all though, 50k is a small price to pay to avoid 5 years in Prison.

  514. Umpires, its always the Umpires call. Tackles might go to the Tribunal, a lot more often these days, they do it for things that used to be just a free kick or 50m penalty.

McFeist a former main menu item. McOz McFeist with beetroot. Aussie Angus, also beetroot. Its jyst not a proper burger without beetroot. These days I mostly order Dbl Qrt with added lettuce and Tomato.

  518. The Australian Education system is/was also highly flawed. When I went through school they didn't cover anything International post WWII, except maybe Apolli 11. And little American history beyond Columbus, maybe a week on slavery and The Underground Railroad. Most of Asia and Europe and all of Africa beyond Egypt were ignored entirely. They did cover the Romans about 6 times, but nothing on medieval Italy. But at least we don't believe Wales is a myth or that England doesn't speak English, or that poorer countries lack agriculture and the Internet, etc. We may lack info on other countries but we are also not criminally misinformed.

  524. Yellow fog lights are also a good alternative to Driving Lights. They provide a good deal more light than low beam, more to the sides than high beam, and critically they don't blind oncoming traffic.
    2
  525.  @Low760  Not sure what knock off chinese rubbish you have been using, but Fog lights let you see a lot further than 3m, or even 15. When there is no fog, as stated they are superior to low beam although not as bright as high beam and in fog they don't reflect off the fog the way high beam does thus increasing your visible range. They don't light up the road 200m ahead like Driving Lights do, but they make for a nice addition to low beam. Although legally you still have to turn them off for oncoming traffic they are still less blinding, frankly less blinding than some modern cars low beams.

Untoasted bread, bit of butter, bit of vegemite, slice of cheddar and covered with another buttered slice of bread. Also try adding just a dab of Vegemite to Mashed Potatoes to give it a little tang.

  538. You know its an obvious thing to anyone who thinks about it: if a company is that dead set against you joining a Union that they are prepared to spend tens or hundreds of thousands on lawyers, advertising and who knows what else... then you really need to join a union. The harder they fight to prevent it, the more you need one, because you can see where the financial reality is.

  548. Your understanding of the books is limited. Not excusing the show, but have to call it out on both sides. Ishamael was never fully bound, he was awake and able to affect things in the world for all 3 millennia and being around for 3000 years drove him insane so he started to think he was The Dark One and called himself Ba'alzamon while pretending to be Him. His not beinbg bound is actually quite important. It was Ishamael who gave Lews Therin his final moment of Lucidity so he could commit suicide it was Ishamael who led the Trolloc Wars, it was Ishamael who made Hawksing start his crusade against the Aes Sedai, which led to the Three Oaths also presumably siggested by Ishamael who was the one who chose the leaders of the Black Ajah.

  549. Keeping a property vacant. Not renting it out, not using it, just holding the land for 15 years while there is a housing crisis going on. That makes me quite angry. Could almost feel she deserved it. But its not an excuse, she didn't deserve this and the Demolitions Foreman who didn't check the permit before starting work... if he doesn't make full reparations and then some he should get jail time.

Local Councils prohibiting selling of vehicles from public areas is a very common issue in Australia, whether its on the street, on nature strips in front of the house which are crown land or any public land areas.

  557. What strikes me from this story is how close the mailbox was to the road. I have no problem with fortified mailboxes, but I live in Australia where the property line is several metres back from the road, not 1 and a half feet. Even trees on the side of the road tend to be the far side of a 1.5m shoulder. If its going to be that close to the road, some flex should be advised. But I agree with the court that the guy who spun off is responsible for his own injuries. He shouldn't have been speeding on ice. Edit: They do have powwer poles, signs, traffic lights only a foot or two from the curb, but that tends to be in areas with a max speed limit of 50-60kmh (30-40mph).

But Steve did cover that, there is an exemption., if its unloaded and secured in a locked trunk or if its in a gun-case then its perfectly legal. It's only if it's ready to hand that there is a problem. And there are also Permits that allow one to carry it unsecured, which would presumably be for law enforcement, armed guards, military, etc.

Or possibly a gold sun in the middle of a green sea to incorporate the Aboriginal flag element.

  577. It's Year 11 Economics. The best economic system is a Mixed Economy, the so-called Welfare Sate. Capitalist, but with strong government regulation and oversight to protect workers and customers from rampant corporate greed and core services such as education, power, healthcare and public transport owned and operated by the government, which keeps prices down and services high. Private competition is allowed for schools and hospitals, but should not be government subsidised and must still meet minimum standards set by the government. It's why the Scandinavian countries enjoy such high happiness ratings, why Australia was much better off before John Howard.

Most places in Australia don't get 3 Megabytes per second, even with the NBN rollout, which was strangled before it began by the liberals who cut it from a 3 year rollout 50 megabit to the house system to a 10 year rollout 25 megabit to the node system with copper to houses. You're alright if you live next to a node or in a major city, but in smaller towns, it sucks. And even 50 megabits is stupid slow when at that time people in parts of Europe could get 1000 megabits.

When I finally realised what I should have seen all along, it wasn't even trying to be science-fiction, it was pure fantasy, children's fantasy at that, as in written by children for children. It was no wonder it always did the opposite of what made "Classic" Who great, why they had about 3 good episodes across 9 seasons and why they actively insulted the original show any chance they got, insisting they were canon with it while having at least 3 major lore-breaks in every episode.

But dragging him out when he was already getting out on his own, that's where it crossed the line. And from there it just got worse.

  630. Speaking as a non-shooter it always seems counter-intuitive to me that red means fire and green means safe. I understand the logic and it really does make sense, but in every other device red means off and green means on.

  638. Tyres, especially tyre pressure. Regular checks to see if indicators, trail lights and brake lights are functional. Front lights too, but you tend to notice if one of them stops working. Also, basic check is oil levels, full replacement is needed a lot less often than top ups. Should be checked weekly, monthly at the least.

  641. The issue is that the more drunk you are the less able you are to tell how drunk you are. Which is why its set at 0.05 which is where reaction speed slows and judgment begins to be affected in 90% of cases. But at 2.5, that's falling down drunk by any stretch. Even by the insanely liberal US laws of the 1960s, which had the limit at 1.6. This blows that away.

What if the legal heir is deceased, if its a WW1 gun it might have gone through 3-5 generations, does it pass down to the heir of each heir? What if the person registering mistook a date stamp as the serial number?

  660. I personally believe that 100 grand for redecorating is a waste of money these days, money that could be better spent on upkeep for historic monuments, or university scholarships. But where the heck did the money for this gold and silver encrusted palace come from?

  661. The major issue is that pretty much every website that you need a password for Forces you to make a password that contains at least one of uppercase, lowercase and number, and these days a symbol as well, although older sites still won't recognise symbols. And some won't let you use a password that you have ever used previously. So the option of having a random sentence that is easy to remember is not actually an option.

  671. In Australia the legal turn signal length is 30m in built up areas, about 100feet or 5 seconds when travelling at speed, so highways, etc. And 95% of drivers either fail to indicate at all, or put in on halfway through the turn, sigh.

  672. All that talk about taxes and you didn't mention that the Mining Companies don't have to pay much, if any, tax. Also, while the average income might be high, its extremely weighted to the 1%, 3 Million Australians trying to survive on less than 25k a year, in a country where the average rent is well over 12,000 a year. Plus they have to pay 10% GST on every purchase, meaning they are effectively paying an additional 10% Income Tax.

  673. Well, I now know that I should never buy a HP printer. Hopefully this advice gets around and when HP realises that suddenly all sales of their printers have ceased they might revaluate.

  686. Here's something that will blow your mind. The biggest hurdle with increasing microchip power these days is that the transistors are so small and close together that if they are any closer, even a fraction of a nanometre, the atoms will start sharing electrons and running into the quantum uncertainty principle. They are already printing these things at the atomic scale.

Not just EVs where the batteries cost as much as the car, but all the electronic systems, as well as cheap plastic parts that somehow cost hundreds of dollars. And often the issues can't even be diagnosed without insanely expensive proprietary software.

Back around 2000 the hole basically encompassed the entirety of Australia, but it shrinks and grows depending on the seasons and its shrunk to mostly just being over Antarctica since the banning of CFCs. Even so, you need SFP 50+ sunscreen these days, the old 15+ we used back in the 90s just doesn't cut it anymore, even 30+ is risky. But we don't get the ultra high UV days where you could burn in 20 seconds very often anymore. Even so, skin cancer is still the biggest killer in Australia.

  707. Part of the problem is that even if its just a couple of bad cells out of 1000 the companies only replace the entire 1000 cell block. Part of the problem is that Lithium batteries have a limited life span which is significantly reduced by constantly changing to 100% and which is roughly halved if you use Fast Charging. Finally we have at best enough Lithium for 100 years. We have 250 years of oil. Hydrogen is the future and electric cars are delaying investment in necessary Hydrogen infrastructure.

  708. The helicopter thing is a Gyrocopter. The engine only powers the front drive prop, the upper blades are turned by air pressure (autorotation) and generate lift. They predate helicopters by a couple decades being a much simpler design. Think of it as a plane that has rotating wings. They can fly at extremely slow speeds without stalling or falling and don't need long runways, but they aren't able to truly hover.

  709. Always a tricky subject. My view is if the woman calls it off, she should return the ring; unless the man was unfaithful or otherwise deceitful. if the man calls it off, she has the right to keep the ring, unless he called it off because she was unfaithful or otherwise deceitful. Essentially the wronged party has the right to the ring. But that is just my opinion based on fairness alone. The legal argument that its part of a marriage contract is certainly a strong one though.

  710. If the aboriginal flag has a black stripe where the rope goes, then its official and the money iirc goes to an aboriginal charitable fund. If its white, then its an unlicensed reproduction. There was a bit of furor when .Cathy Freeman held a repro flag during her victory lap in 2000.but as she says, its the flag that matters, not who owns it.

  711. I'm not familiar with the USPO, but if its anything like Australia Post, companies and government bodies can pay a flat fee to the Post Office every year and then send all their mail with a Postage Paid stamp. So they are saving money. Or maybe the Post Office gives them a bulk discoubnt, dunno, maybe not, don't know the US. Anyway they probably make most of their money from people who use the bridge every day so when they send out the bll its for like a months usage, or even a week. And at the worst, they have to pay the toll both operators for a manned boothg, pay for the Eftpos machines and internet, mail may not be so much more costly, and certainly more convenient. Got to love Melbournes E-Tags though, or the apps that have replaced them, you can sign up for the service, like your Easy Pass if you use it every day,, but if you are just visiting once in a blue moon you can buy a 1 day or 3 day pass over the phone, and this can be done before or within a couple of days after you use the toll road.

  717. I dunno about any "queer" stuff turning people off of League of Their Own. I stopped watching about 15 minutes into the first episode because it was Boring. Really Boring. All I will say is that if its historically accurate I don't care, if they made up gay characters for the sake of progressiveness, screw them. God knows why it cost so much money though, did they spend it all on film grain filters? Money could have been way better spent on more Great Escapists, or Grand Tour. Or some anime dubs as a change from the subs. Or an actual honest to goodness new funny sitcom, now that would bring in the ratings as there hasn't been one since Big Bang went off the air.

  724. Speaking as a Security Guard who has had to deal with hangers on after events, the cops should have given him the warning, stood back and waited a couple of minutes, when the song ended if they didn't start to disperse then issue another verbal warning. There was no call for arrest and Tasers unless the guy got violent.

  726. Sounds like they didn't search the house for drugs, they entered in order to confront and then arrest the suspect. And yeah, I agree with the Judge a reasonable person would see her actions as consent. Police could have erred on the side of caution of course, but they could see the evidence of altercation. Also, a nod is a non-verbal gesture, it's also widely recognised as an indication of yes.

Then take all the Gigawatts of excess energy produced and convert it into Green Hydrogen. Which could then be used to power cars across the world, or just to burn in the cities to produce electricity.

Also, all those bankruptcies must cost the economy a mint. And you can't collect taxes from someone who has gone bankrupt.

  766. The ball weighs about half a kilo (2 pounds). It's a little bigger than an American Football, not much though and a different shape, less pointy for better bounces. And yeah, it can hurt, sting the hands a bit, its leather over hard inflated rubber, but its not like a cricket ball which is solid leather coming in at 90+mp/h, those can kill. Most AFL injuries are knee injuries.

I don't mind watching an add at the start, and for a longer video maybe a mid-roll or two between segments, but most of the time the adds come in every couple of minutes with no control at all. A presenter will be cut off not just mid-sentence, but mid-word, and this could happen 5 times in a 10 minute video. Its too much. As it is, if I want to support a Youtuber I will whitelist thei channel, or temporarily unblock them and watch 2-3 adds to give them some revenue, but when just browsing, I will usually keep it on.

  781. Maybe its because of past NJ SC rulings setting stronger precedent? Anyway what is really notable is the 4th amendment describing the seizing of persons, seems to be a relic of slavery, except that the whole racist defence of slavery was that black people were not persons because they had a different skin colour.

Having watched many Defunctland vids, its not about rapid expansion as in spreading too thin, but ore that they have to expand to keep people coming year after year so the rides don't get stale. Like there is zero reason to visit Movie World twice, because a couple extra coasters doesn't change much. But you still have to be fiscally responsible about it and not overstretch.

  788. He is a murderer. He travelled interstate in order to fight protesters, armed himself with an assault rifle and shot and killed people.

  790. Obviously they have to inventory the house, not to tow it, but to seize the house under Civil Asset Forfeiture. Accusation is proof as far as CAF is concerned.

  796.  @Sweet-Rat-Milk  , @moonmoonStar Celebrating the day you achieved Independence or naming a city after a general is hardly the same thing. If the United States Army was still called the Revolutionary Army then that would be the same. As for the argument that its to stop further revolutions, that isn't an argument at all, that's a reason for its existence and if so it ought to be called the Counter-Revolutionary Guard which would be a laugh. Oh and no one said Iranians were free. The evil of the Ayatollahs is well known and parr for the course. 99% of Revolutionary Governments are worse than the people they deposed and 100% of Theocracies are bad. Iran is both.

  797. Won't be just hoodlums and punks. These robots are replacing human jobs, it's not speculation about the future or anything; its here and now, robots taking people's jobs.

  798. If you want to learn about cricket you should watch the Stephen Fry Laws of Cricket video. Or just watch a game. Although its pretty simple: You have two sides, one out in the field and one in. Each man that’s in the side that’s in the field goes out and when he’s out comes in and the next man goes in until he’s out. When a man goes out to go in, the men who are out try to get him out, and when he is out he goes in and the next man in goes out and goes in. When they are all out, the side that’s out comes in and the side that’s been in goes out and tries to get those coming in out. Sometimes there are men still in and not out. There are men called umpires who stay out all the time, and they decide when the men who are in are out. Depending on the weather and the light, the umpires can also send everybody in, no matter whether they’re in or out. When both sides have been in and all the men are out (including those who are not out), then the game is finished.

In Australia you can buy some really expensive tickets, some costing several thousand dollars and they have so many chances to win that you're all but guaranteed a major prize, although probably not the Jackpot.

  806. So its a Coles, K-Mart, bottleshop and Mitre 10 all at once? Plus guns of course and a fabric store too? That must really add time to a basic shopping trip.

Here we go to a Department Store when we want clothes, furniture or electronics, a supermarket for food, hardware shop for tools beyond basic hammers, etc.

If they can ignore 300lb of marijuana because someone was pulled over for speeding and the traffic stop went 30 seconds too long, they can shut down government theft. Hopefully. Its all about the money after all. And it does make you wonder when they seem to care more about seizing cash and securing traffic tickets, than prosecuting actual crimes.
    1
  832. I recall your advice about how lawsuits just have to state any number of a minimum amount. But the way big companies when pursuing copywrite claims inevitably claim that not only does every single instance of pirated access count as lost revenue in full, as if 100% of those who didn't pay for it would have paid full price for it. But that they have also lost revenue from other mythical users who aren't even aware of their product because of the existence of the pirated version. And that's without getting into things like YouTube allowing them to claim 100% of a 2 hour video for 10 seconds of unlicenced music.

Warm Toast, butter on the toast and then some Vegemite on top of the butter, that is Vegemite on Toast and its delicious, also the perfect food for when you are feeling sick and have difficulty keeping stuff down. However, Vegemite is an acquired taste, gets better with time, just don't slather it too thick. Also goes well with a dollop in your mashed potato to give it some tang.

Usually one game per week, you're in for trouble if the other team has 7 days rest and you have 3. Sometimes teams get by weeks, 1 per year, but generally its every week from March to September. There are 18 clubs, so usually 9 games every weekend and in a season each club typically will play every other club twice, although sometimes there are by weeks. Used to be a break in the middle for State of Origin, but they gave that up, runs throughout Autumn, Winter and Spring from the Pre-season up to the Grand Final.

Star Trek TOS is a prime example, diverse cast on the bridge and yet the different 'races' and nations present with Uhura, Chekov and Sulu isn't brought up, its not relevant.

  911. Unrelated, but this story reminded me of a news story years ago about someone getting their 18th suspended sentence for breaking the terms of their suspended sentence.

  912. How about highly politicised 'news.' Tons of fluff pieces, cats stuck in trees etc, while many serious issues never get coverage, such as Loot Boxes/Gambling in video games.

  913. Great, no I have to find out how much the Eiffel Tower weighs. And it's kinda boring. 10,100 tons. Although 60 tons of paint is mildly interesting.

  914. A Traditional Aussie Christmas features Roast Turkey and Veg and Leg Ham, followed by Christmas Pudding and Pavlova. Also Mince Pies, Candy Canes and Christmas Crackers (Bon-Bons). Seafood is not involved. But as she says, its an incredibly diverse country with a mix of many cultures.

  915. Massed archers would often be limited to firing in volleys as well, at least at the start of the engagement. Because its much harder to shield against a rain or storm of arrows than a few individual shafts, even if lone shafts are harder to spot. This goes for longbows, crossbows, and of course the later muskets.
    1
  916. The stupidest part of their homogenised race nonsense and the argument that complaining is being racist. If they'd stuck to the books they could have a nice social commentary about the evils of colonisation. In the centuries of Numenor's sea might they established a few small colonies and bases on the mainland, including in southern areas representative of Africa, and there they turned forests into wastelands in the pursuit of wood for their massive ships and over time fell into war with the natives who were none too please about the ruination of their land by the invaders from over the sea. Mordor btw is not The South Lands, there is an entire continent worth of land below it.

  921. Hollywood. We need something from Scandinavian folklore. Casts an African. We need some people from medieval Germanic folklore You may cast some Mediterraneans and Africans. We need some Egyptians, cast Sub-Sarahans. We need an old Chinese man, cast a white English woman. We need extremely short people, cast either children or normal actors, no "little people" allowed.

  931. The irony is bikinis are boring. One-pieces are much sexier as long as they aren't all horizontal stripes. But both beat the woolen suits women had to wear in the 50s. And before that women were only allowed to 'bathe' in private tents. Prudishness. Heck in the 1800s a woman showing her ankles was considered disgraceful. Absurd.

  933. Its not an "unnerving unknown" whether Trump will continue support for Ukraine, its a very well known. Trump's first act as president will be to cancel all aid for Ukraine, and probably to then redirect those assets to Israel. Trump isn't just a Putin admirer, he's firmly in Putin's pocket. Exactly what was he doing with all those classified documents during his conversations with the Russian dictator?

  934. Our 20/30 year old Simpson washer has a mechanism that causing it to stop the machine when you lift the lid, no need to lock the lid. Only problem it ever has is the old unbalanced load issue, which all machines have, even front loaders apparently. The washer we had before that lasted close to 30 years with no issues as well. And old General Electric. Now though, everything is Made in China with Manufactured Obsolescence firmly in mind.

  953. Returning Boomerangs were originally made from carefully selected tree roots with a twist in them, good for hunting birds as you got two passes at a flock with one throw. Modern returning boomerangs have a planed down aerofoil edge on one length to take advantage of aerodynamics to make them return. If its angled wrong they might return 50ft to the side of the thrower, but they still curve back.

  960. From what I vaguely remember from my Archaeology and history classes the early waves of migration had boats with two outriggers, which were insufficient for the central pacific.

The Maccas one is rubbish though by all accounts, probably because they use soft serve instead of the traditional frozen vanilla? Dunno haven't tried one. The frozen coke range is like your slushies isn't it?

  968. Let's be honest. Rich countries are leaving themselves exposed to the full horror of climate change. It's an absolute necessity to have Net Negative by 2030 and no one is willing to commit to Net Zero by 2050. Plus with the news about the West Antarctic Ice Sheet we need to start building dikes NOW.

  969. In Australia normal road laws apply in most shopping centre parking lots, although only sometimes do they have a sign at the entrance. But you'd be unlikely to be ticketed for minor infractions, they aren't interested in stopping people who don't indicate on major roads.

I mean with a 50% divorce rate it's possible, but it wouldn't be my assumption. Also did he approach her house in uniform? That wasn't stated.

  975. Bad phrasing, kicking down the door is the same as a tyre mark? No. Breaking your car's window is the same as kicking down the door, a chalk mark on the tire is about the same as a chalk mark on your step where rain can wash it off. Anyway, my only issue with chalking is the question of what happens if they mark your tyre, you then move the car a block down the street and they come by and see a chalk mark on your tyre.

  976. 11:10 it wasn't the speed, it was passing where there are double white lines. Double Lines are a big deal and are placed where its unsafe to enter into the opposite lane of traffic. Its also illegal to park opposite them, do a U-Turn across them and more.

  977. If Punative is a set multiple of Compensatory it also ignores the size of compensatory as a variable factor. Compensatory could be $200, or $357,000 or $12 Million and as the number grows the effect of a higher multiple also multiplies. So there does need to be allowance for that.

  985.  @TheLightlock  Is this the 17th century? Is it currently illegal for men to be actors? Was Jesus a woman from Sub-Saharan Africa? Is it ok in your book for say Amber Heard to play Nelson Mandela? How about if Robert Downey Jr plays Cleopatra? Stop advocating for double standards and historical revisionism.

  986. @ It is indeed an attention grab and the outrage is the entire point. If this was a production by an All Girls School, I wouldn't have an issue with it, but its not, it's an established actress in a professional production. An actress moreover who even before this had established herself as shall we say, a spokesperson for a hard-line ideology.

I want to know when they are going to do an Australian special. 23 years and they have come here once and did nothing when they did come here, just had a race ina quarry and failed to herd some cattle, didn't see anything of the country at all. Imagine Cooktown to Broome, or even better tip of Cape York to Broome. It would easily be the most epic special ever. Will have to wait till COVID is beaten of course, but after that.

  1007. And that subjective nature of field sobriety tests is why they are a waste of time. Just do the breath test, takes 5 seconds and spits out an objective number. Yet Americans consider that a violation of the 4th. Its a hell of a lot less unreasonable than getting out of the car and doing jumping jacks though. Its the 21st century, catch up to the 1960s already.

I still think a large art of the problem is just how disconnected the US police system is with every town having its own independent force and overlapping jurisdictions between Sherriff, City Police, State Highway, etc. Our system of the State Police being responsible for all standard policework in the state is so much more sensible.

  1034. The real issue is the entire American concept of tying wages to tips and making Tips mandatory. The fact that US workers can be paid less than a 1/3 of minimum wage if they earn a mere $30 a month in tips, when the minimum wage itself is 1/3 of what it needs to be given inflation is insane. And then to have people take that even further and pay BOH staff with FOH Tip workers tips... just no. The cooks, bartenders and wait staff should ALL be paid a fair wage for their work that is enough to live on, and then if a customer has a particularly enjoyable experience or is feeling generous they can leave a tip for the waiters on the table, or drop something in a communal tip jar that is shared out and known to be a general tip jar, and if the meal was particularly good ask that compliments be given to the chef and then give good word of mouth. It's what we do in Australia, and it works pretty well. You just increase the prices at the front end.

  1042. .02-.06 Light and moderate drinkers begin to feel mildly relaxed and maybe a little light headed. Your inhibitions are slightly loosened, and whatever mood you were in before you started drinking may be mildly intensified. Your behavior may become exaggerated, making you talk louder or faster or act bolder than usual. You may also feel a mild sense of euphoria. .06 Judgment, perception, and information processing are becoming impaired. People are less able to make good judgments, and are more likely to misperceive situations and to take unwise risks. Driving abilities are definitely impaired, because driving requires constant and complex judgment, perception, and information processing. A serious problem is that the drinker usually cannot detect this impairment. You cannot judge when your judgment is impaired or perceive when your perception is impaired .08 Legally Intoxicated in all states in the U.S.. You believe you are functioning better than you actually are. At this level, you may start to slur your speech. Your sense of balance is probably off, and your motor skills are starting to become impaired. Your ability to see and hear clearly is diminished. Your judgment is being affected, so it’s difficult for you to decide whether or not to continue drinking. Your ability to evaluate sexual situations is impaired. Students may jokingly refer to this state of mind as beer goggles, but this BAL can have serious repercussions. People are more likely to take risks they would not take when sober, and are unable to judge accurately their ability to drive. .10-.12 At this level, you feel euphoric, but you lack coordination and balance. Your motor skills are markedly impaired, as are your judgment and memory. You probably don’t remember how many drinks you’ve had. Your emotions are exaggerated, and some people become loud, aggressive, or belligerent. If you’re a guy, you may have trouble getting an erection when your BAC is this high. .14-.17 Your euphoric feelings may give way to unpleasant feelings. You have difficulty talking, walking, or even standing. Your judgment and perception are severely impaired. You may become more aggressive, and there is an increased risk of accidentally injuring yourself or others. This is the point when you may experience a blackout. Vomiting may occur in normal drinkers. Balance and coordination are normally impaired. Heavy drinkers may learn to appear sober at this level, but are in fact intoxicated. .20 You feel confused, dazed, or otherwise disoriented. You need help to stand up or walk. If you hurt yourself at this point, you probably won’t realize it because you won’t feel pain. If you are aware you’ve injured yourself, chances are you won’t do anything about it. At this point you may experience nausea and/or start vomiting (keep in mind that for some people, a lower blood alcohol level than .20% may cause vomiting). Your gag reflex is impaired, so you could choke if you do throw up. Since blackouts are likely at this level, you may not remember any of this. . .20-.25 All mental, physical, and sensory functions are severely impaired. You’re emotionally numb. There’s an increased risk of asphyxiation from choking on vomit and of seriously injuring yourself by falling or other accidents. .30 You’re in a stupor. You have little comprehension of where you are. You may suddenly pass out at this point and be difficult to awaken. (But don’t kid yourself: Passing out can also occur at lower BACs. But, at lower blood alcohol levels, you may decide you’ve had enough to drink and go “pass out.” With an alarming BAC like .30%, your body will be deciding to pass out for you.) .30-.35 This blood alcohol level also happens to be the level of surgical anesthesia. You may stop breathing at this point. .400 You are probably in a coma. The nerve centers controlling your heartbeat and respiration are slowing down.

The best place for the fire is in the cave middle, as long as there is plenty of head space. Not against the back wall and not up front. And only light the fire is absolutely necessary to stay alive from the warmth.

  1056. There's nothing mysterious or forgotten about the origins of the War of 1812, except the US's tendency towards selective memory. Blockades of France and fishing disputes with Canada were just an excuse; the reason the USA invaded Canada was to conquer territory, they thought it would be easy with Britain being busy with Napoleon. But they underestimated the Canadians much as Russia underestimated Ukraine, and once Napoleon was dealt with Britain could turn their full attention to the Americas and the tide of war swiftly shifted against the US.

Still a white cup though.

What he actually did was declare all humans born in the USA to be Non-Binary. This is what happens when someone who doesn't understand science signs an order without reading it first. See, Embryos first have no sex, then become female, then males may develop several weeks in.

Any citizen can cover 100% of the cost with a Government Loan that you don't have to start paying back till your earnings reach a safe threshold, but most people will still being paying off that loan when they reach retirement age. Also Australian Universities are critically underfunded, relying heavily on foreign students and their fees to keep the lights on, which means less places available for Australians.

I don't know about any Gippsland Cat, but there is a legend of a Puma in the Grampians that escaped from a circus. They are all pure myth, apart from the cats which are feral domestic cats, which can grow to be several feet long. I'm surprised they didn't mention the Rainbow Serpent which is an aboriginal myth common to many groups across Australia, but as its a Dreamtime creature and not contemporary I guess it bears omission.

  1103. There is also the fact that the 'breast incident' witness slept with the defence lawyer during the trial, which may be why he didn't mount any actual defence. The act of making the video, which could have been used as evidence to catch the car thief, could have been argued as passive intervention. And even if all the prosecution character witnesses were admissible, for 90% of those incidents the 4 accused were actually in the right which a competent lawyer could have used as rebuttal. Even 'breast lady,' while the sexual assault was their bad actions; her decision to become promiscuous isn't their fault.

But there's also Wheel of Time, Rings of Power, Doctor Who and even the MCU, although there mostly to a lesser extent apart from the abominable She-Hulk show. Even when they are promoting female leaders they have to make them masculine, weird stuff like Valkyrie has to be a King because apparently being a Queen is now somehow lesser. Somehow I don't think any of history's powerful Queens would agree.

  1117. I use Cruise Control 90-% of the time, and a lot of that is about not getting tickets. Cameras tend to not be at the bottom of hills, and they used to be well signposted, the main reason people hate them is 90% of drivers speed 90% of the time, which is why there are so many cameras. At least Avg. Speed cameras haven't had much traction yet though. The 2km allowance is way too harsh though, it used to be 3, and even that was pushing it. The idea is how accurate the cameras and radars are, but not how accurate your speedo is.

She is spared by the man sent to kill her as he pities her and she finds refuge with a family of miners where she improves their lives with simple things like home cooked meals and clean sheets. The love element only comes in at the very end of the film, last 5 minutes. The idea that its about a stalker prince and not an Evil Queen? Someone hasn't seen the film, or any of the many other adaptions of this 16th century tale.

Never heard of Trix, company must have gone bust yonks back. Same for Brashs, never heard of them, and that American musician? with the unintelligible speech didn't help elucidate anything. The Scorpions are a the same principle as modern matchbox car tracks with accelerators, probably using magnets, dunno.

  1122. I was fine until you started saying Aborigines are more likely to commit crimes. That's where you lost me. That's where you come across as racist. Still everyone involved in these protests needs to go home and stop pretending that an American dying by an American Police Officers act in America is related to any issues in Australia.

  1123. Australia has used audio recordings since the 90s, we don't have court reporters or stenographers. The old cassette tapes used to be kept for 2 years before being recorded over, dunno what happens with newer digital but I expect its about the same. As to access, couldn't speculate, it'd either be the audio or a written transcript of it.

  1128. Sun visors, while their intended purpose is not that useful, replacing standard opaque visor with a see-through one, I ordered several to deal with sun glare when driving directly into sunrise/sunset and sunglasses not being enough. Of the 4 different ones I ordered 2 arrived 'broken in transit', and the packaging I must say looked pretty battered and could easily have been from the 1980s. The others did work attached to the bottom of the car visor as you first attempted. Combining the shaded visor with sunglasses lets me see enough to drive safely, although the image is slightly distorted, much more useful application than simply replacing the normal visor. Did break one though as the bottom of the visor was slightly too large for the clip, but hey, they don't actually make see-through visors to hang below the existing sunshade for those sunrise/sunset blinded moments. Also works to block headlight glare at night.

  1129. The northern areas are hot and humid all year round, but the wet season strikes in summer when its particularly hot, best to visit Queensland and other northern areas in winter when its 25 not 45 and less likely to rain. The Victoria, SA and Tassie can get very hot and dry in summer, 30 degrees is pretty common, but in winter its cold and wet, although snow is rare except in the mountains where the ski resorts are.

Chances are that if he'd been cooperative instead of argumentative the stop wouldv'e been over in 2 minutes and he wouldn't have been arrested. Of course he also wouldn't have 400k minus Lawyer fees, I get the feeling this guy wanted an excuse to sue. Wild speculation, he might have even had something in the car which had been soaked in something. If we can doubt the cop, we can doubt the guy as well.

  1131. Fines Victoria mail you the ticket. Also its common knowledge that they can't ticket you if the machine is broken. However, you're still restricted to time limitations, and these days you'd probably be tasked with finding a different machine as its not one meter per spot anymore.

There is a movement now towards exterior mechanical blinds that are flush to the window, rattles less in wind I'll say that for them, but they're expensive and you can't see through them.

  1136. It's pronounced Jarvis Bay. As for the ACT, not s lot to know, its a big confusing Roundabout designed to be seen from the air rather than lived in. Like Washington DC its a compromise, a self governing enclave in a larger state. Its in NSW because the Federation Compromise was it would be there once built and until then Melbourne would be the capital, Melbourne not being prepared to kowtow to Sydney.

  1140. Strictly speaking, both Anatomically Modern Humans and Neanderthals are subspecies of Heidlebergensis. We can't be separate species if the genetic evidence that AMH and Neanderthals interbred is accurate. Homo heidelbergensis or Homo sapiens heidelbergensis as it should be called is also associated with controlled use of fire and compound tools such as spears and had 90% of our cranial capacity. Massive leap forward from Homo erectus which probably had complex speech although we can't prove it,

I really hope the Australian Price Bubble bursts soon, I want to buy, but the reality is investment buying still drives the market due to huge tax concessions and no one is building medium or high density housing.

How can Turkey repay the West for the evils committed by the Ottomans for a millennium? They still hold Constantinople. But then the West should also repay Turkey for the Crusades I guess. How can Italy repay all of Europe and northern Africa for the rise and fall of the Roman Empire? Its not the Colonial Past holding these countries back, its corrupt governments today and being sorry for events 100 years ago, 200 years ago, 500 years ago is all well and good but reparations are silly. Wars are won and lost.

  1153. Why do Americans do their taxes a quarter before the end of the financial year instead of in the first quarter of the new one? Makes no sense. Reminds me of E-Tax, used to be free when it was government run, but now they charge, and they charge about 30% more than they implied they would. Still cheaper than an accountant, but not as good as the ATO website which is free. Also, the FTC should go after Dating Apps/websites, those all claim to be free, but you cant view pictures, likes, profiles, or send messages unless you pay. Some are free for women, but not for men.

  1154. Bad drivers are everywhere, if it is worse in the US its only because your laws and enforcement are so lax, fines with no points and all. But 90% of drivers in Australia don't indicate correctly, and a solid 20% frequently don't indicate at all. Not helped by it only being 1 demerit if the police stop you at all. As for Hook Turns they trip up anyone not familiar with them, even Victorians who studied them to get their L's and P's but maybe drive Melbourne CBD once a decade.

  1160. The period of initial occupation lines up broadly with the Natufians who created the first semi-permanent and permanent villages due to a natural abundance of wild wheat. And their civ, as the global warming period came to an end around 10,000BP and the wild wheat diminished led into the deliberate cultivation of crops in that part of the world.

  1161. The foul language one could be enforced a bit more heavily in my opinion. Forget all the stuff people yell from cars or at footy stadiums, I've heard them play Hate Rap on Coles Radio,.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, these Field Sobriety Tests are a stupid and pointless waste of time and I don't understand why they are still needed in the US before they can use the breathalyzer which gives an objective reading. Breathalyzer takes a few seconds, you don't even need to unbuckle your seatbelt, let alone get out of the car. Once passed you are free to go. I've been stopped for RBTs many times over the years, and they tend to be done in less than 2 minutes, at least if you are under the limit.

Worst part is Adobe Acrobat is still easily the best, but I'm not willing to pay $224-$347 per year for it. That's daylight robbery.

In reality people get served unless they are falling down drunk or causing trouble, but legally, the moment you start to slur your words you should be cut off, massive fines can be applied to the pub and its servers if an inspector or cop walks in. As a server or security its a precarious balance as to how much you allow. Its the same in much of the US I believe. Essentially, you can drink, but you can't get hammered.

  1186. Tap Water. A combination of things no doubt. For one, we have a lot more trust in our water treatment facilities than the US does, probably for good reason and in our water quality in general, Heck, places like Hepburn Springs you can drink mineral water straight from the source. For another we don't have thousands of miles of lead pipes still in use (Hello NY). Plus Tap water is 2-4c a litre compared to bottled water which can get quite expensive. And tap water actually tastes nice in most places, although less so in Hard Water areas like Melbourne. Incidentally, over-filtered water can be bad for you because we cannot actually metabolise 100% pure water, you want it free of contaminants, but not pure H2O.

  1196.  @JayForsure  American wood-framed houses weren't built to last, the technique allowed for rapid and cheap assembly good for a few decades, but they aren't strong. Brick is indeed strong and easily lasts centuries, ceramic just doesn't wear out. Concrete 'can' last for thousands of years, a few Roman structures remain, but concrete structures are still susceptible to "concrete cancer" if any leaks occur the steel inside can rust. Hardwood can last centuries if properly treated and protected from weather and just becomes stronger with time, but these laminates are apparently constructed of softwoods, so I have no idea how they will hold up.

One male got arrested and bailed 16 times because he kept breaking the law. The rule should be, break bail once and you go to jail to await trial.

  1251. Because of the 30% Government rebate and the lack of a Medicare Tax Levy for those with Private Health Insurance, if you earn over 50 or 60,000 dollars a year, Private Health Insurance becomes quite incentivised, especially as for every year you don't have it the tax cost of getting PHI increases. PHI is still completely unaffordable for people earning less than 35-40K though, which is about 50% of the population. The numbers of people who had PHI were definitely lower before the rebate, but mostly it just benefits those who could already afford it.

That would then have to be patted down and tested for explosives, before being released, but once cleared we wouldn't detain them. But I dont reccomend that option. In luggage, just make sure its clear of any wires or batteries. I recommend wrapping it in clothes and having nothing but the cash and clothes in that bag. No metal things at all, or glass or ceramic for that matter. Makes it less of an alert to both Security and potential thieves. Also, for domestic flights, just have what fits in a wallet or purse and withdraw the rest from a bank at the destination if possible.

Any other country, wait staff get paid a wage based on laws and how much the store needs their service and can afford to pay, tips are optional and icing on the cake of the real paycheck. Ho0w does the restaurant pay the higher wages? they increase the food costs, but its displayed on the menu, you don't have to calculate 15%+ afterwards. But the USA, minimum wage is low because they get tips, and you can pay them under minimum wage because they get tips. And you only get in trouble if you steal their tips. And then they expect you to tip in Drive-Through too apparently? And in Taxis and Hotels, and its absurd.

  1319. I've had a recurring issue with Centrelink reporting that has been a bloody nightmare. If I work over 60 hours in a fortnight I have to resolve it by phone because it won't be processed via the internet and they no longer have the on-site staff to even report in person, has to be done by phone. And if it isn't resolved within a week they automatically suspend your payments, But when you ring up and get the answering machine and go through the whole list of menus you get to a point where you say I have a suspended account issue and the machine says 'you can check the status of your account via the app' and hangs up on you, even though the reason you are calling is because you know you are suspended and need it fixed. It won't let you talk to a person. Also they have gone from one call centre per state to a national service that I am certain is run out of India or Indonesia or someplace where they have no clue about local matters, let alone the language.

Some of these are several stories tall. And that's just scratching the surface, there was a major Tourism Boom of Big things in the 80s and 90s.

  1328. It's a learned behaviour, they do it to keep people away from their nests, and it works. They swoop down, strike the head and fly up again. My advice, wear a helmet when riding, its the law anyway and it will stop them doing you any harm. Outside of swooping season though, they're nice to have around as they have a particularly musical warble call.

  1335. Do any US States allow for specialised Plate designs? And I don't just mean white letters on black as opposed to the usual colours on white. In Australia AFL teams can sell licence plates with a theme specific to that team, generally Team Colours with their logo, and the letters will also refer to that team's name. Of course its still a government approved plate and the numbers tend to be random, not custom, but its a different take on the idea of personalised plates.

  1341. The floods in NSW and Qld have become an annual event, they have happened every year for several years, this is a particularly bad year. The government 'could' do something about it, but that would be preparing for disaster instead of reacting to it, and they don't like that, it would mean spending money on projects for the future of the country. Plus its to do in part with climate change, and the Liberals can't admit that's a thing. Besides Morrison and the Liberals don't care about 40,000 homeless citizens, they only care about the millionaires and billionaires who bankroll their party.

  1343. Best solution would probably be for Canada to gain Point Roberts in exchange for giving up claim to the island. People of Point Roberts get Duel Citizenship and access to local infrastructure; US saves a fortune on Border Patrol costs and this territory dispute is resolved. Canada could also cede Roosevelt-Campebello International Park in exchange for their fishermen getting access to the disputed lobsters for the next 50yrs, under US fishing laws. By the by, the US-Canada border is a mess.

America, sheesh.

  1357. It's not Universal Healthcare if most people don't qualify for it. It needs to be one system for everyone from the poorest to the richest, with the rich having the option to opt out and go private if they want, but they still pay their taxes. Australia's Medicare has been falling behind inflation ever since the introduction of the Private Health Rebate in the 90s. Now its virtually impossible to find a GP who Bulk Bills and Hospitals have been on life support for over a decade.

  1369. In Australia an Apartment is mostly specific to flats opening onto indoor corridors. If the front door is on an exterior balcony/verandah or direct ground access it can be called an apartment but is almost universally called a flat. If its a semi- or completely detached small house which is one of several on a single property its a Unit or Flat depending on size. Flats are smaller and Units pretty much have to be separate buildings, no shared walls. But all four types can be called a flat in general conversation. There are also Townhouses which are like a two-story normal house, but with a dividing wall down the middle turning it into two separate dwellings with separate entrances and gardens.

  1371.  @ropeburn6684  I dunno about serious impending threats, I've been told that Indonesia's military technology is so far behind us that they don't pose a serious threat, but with our subs (that can't shoot whilimg moving) going offline, transport ships that can't carry our own tanks and all the F35s being grounded because itrs a broken plane... eh? I see Indonesia as potentially causing problems as Sea Level Rises force issues later in the century, and China has always been heavily expansionistic and don't like that we are in strike range of The Strait of Malacca able to destroy anything passing through. I personally consider them both serious threats, but I am just some random civlian with no knowledge of the actual capabilities of our military, but I can point out we are not protected by cast stretches of water like the USA is, our northern border is long, sparsely populated and difficult to effectively protect and other nations do have reasons to invade, for mineral resources, agricultural land and because we are a in a highly important strategic location. We are reliant on US aid to defend us, which in and of itself also makes us a greater target because no one really likes America, not even its closest allies, and the treaty between us essentially forces us to fight in US's laws but gives no guarantees they have to defend us, they will only do so in their own interests.

Actually 12.93 would be rounded up, 12.92 would be rounded down, unless you pay by card when its listed price, plus maybe a card charge, The 1 and 2c coins were cancelled in the 90s as no longer practical, and frankly the 5c is overdue for being removed. Vending machines and parking meters haven't accepted 5c coins for over a decade.

  1375. I still think Jurassic Park 4 should have been a Hot Shots style parody. Those Pterosaurs seen flying majestically away at the end of The Lost World swoop down to the mainland and start eating people, its slaughter, but when they reach the US, after a few kills on a Florida Beach they are all shot down by an army of Rednecks with ARs. Then the US Nukes the Dinosaur Islands, which causes one of the T-Rexes to evolve into Godzilla with associated destruction.

  1390. I would presume the homicide argument is due to slowed reaction time due to the intoxication. That's the main reason civilised countries set the legal limit at 0.05, which is the point of obvious impairment, and not 0.08 which is the point of can't walk a straight line. I would expect the Jury to decide Not Guilty though.

Modern Humans in Africa had art, advanced tools, long distance trade and all the other hallmarks of our species at least 130,000 BP, and inclonsusibely as far back as 200,000 BP. There were also only limited times for Neanderthals and Modern Humans mixing, 5,000y for the first Modern Human migration out of Africa before AMH went extinct in Europe and didn't re-emerge until ~70K BP.

  1407. The fact that you consider 3-4 months insufficient time to make an election campaign is as much an indictment of the American people as re-electing Trump. No other country needs 2 YEARS to run for office, most get by with 3-6 weeks. Kamala's problem wasn't lack of time, it was single issue messaging. She was so focused on abortion rights she ignored everything else, particularly the Economy, which was the Number 1 issue. She could have called out Trump's lies about the economy and the border, she did not.

  1409. Skin colour evolves over the course of several millennia as a response to ambient sunlight. People near the equator and in desert regions have darker skin to protect them from sunburn and skin cancer. People who live in and around the Arctic Circle have light coloured skin because the sunlight is much weaker, but they still need to absorb it to generate Vitamin D. And modern melanin multiculturalism is really only a 20th century thing, and even so its nowhere near as pronounced in Scandinavia as it is in countries that participated in the Trans-Atlantic S trade.

  1411. Apparently Australia does have CAF, but they have to show that the officer had reasonable grounds for suspecting you and go through two separate steps to obtain the order. First obtaining a restraining order and then a forfeiture order, and it has to be a serious offence. So still bad in principle, but not the self profit motivated criminal conspiracy of the USA.

  1421. Australia is certainly a big player, if the Chinese go around the straits, they have to go past Australia, and the straits themselves are well within range of Australian shore-based military aircraft. Luckily for China Australia has a tendency to scrap its current offensive capability for the promise of newer hardware 20 years later that will be about 20 years out of date when it arrives. Happened when Howard sold off the F1-11s for the promise of F-35s, and now with the cancelling of French subs for the promise of some US Nuclear ones when they can get around to building them. Its almost as if the Liberals Want Australia to be vulnerable. Nonetheless, we do have some of the promised planes now, plus a couple of carriers being built and our existing subs that can't fire whiling moving or hit a moving target... also a Howard purchase. I'm sure the targeting software has been updated in the last 20 years though.

  1422. The 'Big Mac' index is supposed to be a more reliable indicator of purchasing power than any economic statistics because its the same product and a common on at that.

Aussie Rules involves, I kid you not, kicking the ball with your foot. You get 1 point for carrying it or tapping it through the goal and 6 for kicking a goal, the opposite of what is really American Handball.

  1435. Don't want politicians passing laws to declare people guilty of crimes that were not crimes before. Fair enough. But coin has two sides. Its also wrong to be able to pardon people for crimes they did commit. And as it stands pardons dont need Senate majority, just one person in power. And its not just Trump, every President gives undeserved pardons. Also you need a referendum to give impeachment trials over to the Supreme Court.

  1439. Buses, it varies on location and the stop. Usually Buses (and trams) will pull into any stop where there are people waiting on their route, but waving helps them see you. But if a stop services multiple routes and its not one where they are required to stop and wait for 5 minutes, you may have to wave down the driver of the Bus. As for riding the bus, yes most buses and trams don't have a display of the next stop, the driver might announce it in the inner city, but in general you have to look out the window and press the button after you pass the last stop before yours.

  1440. Its already stupid that police in America have a different badge for every department in every town and city, , it should be one set design per state. But then they go and periodically redesign the badges? Are they trying to make it harder for impersonators to copy the exact design or easier for anyone not from the area to be fooled by a fake badge as with 6000 different designs who can tell what's real and what isn't?

In Australia Local Elections are generally between candidates you have never heard of who are not affiliated with any of the major parties and the Mayor is actually selected by the Council itself, we don't get a choice.

  1450. We alternate between devastating bushfires and devastating floods pretty regularly yes, often in the same year. It's pretty bad for floods right now. The real issue with aridification is as the plant cover recedes and the ground dries up its less able to absorb and retain water when it does come, which means floods are worse, erosion is worse and when the waters recede they don't leave behind as much water to foster the land through the dry times. Also rising salt table from the disforestation which means non tolerant plants can't survive, and erosion of course. Its a nasty feedback loop.

In Australia towns this small would not have their own individual council, but be part of a larger Shire that would include several small towns and most likely at least one larger population centre. Unless maybe its really remote, but those tend to have larger shires anyway. More land to cover, but more money overall and increased efficiency lets them do more. Also, at 367 residents, that's really just a village.

  1456. Gotta love it when the Supreme Court says: well they didn't make a Law about it, so we can safely assume we know what they thought about it. Also: They totally intended for the Constitution to be set in stone and the thoughts of people who lived prior to the invention of the Steam Engine and self-contained cartridges, let alone Emancipation to guide all future events;just ginroe all that contrary evidence in the corner please. And by their thoughts, we mean what we know to be their thoughts based on this law we have turned on its head.

  1460. You sir are conflating all hardcore gamers into the one genre of Online Looters, ignoring all the other genres and especially single-player games. Not all games require endless grind to be good and unneccessary grind can truly ruin a linear single-player game, just look at Rise of and Shadow of the Tomb Raider for proof. Or the pointless orc grinding in Shadow of War which existed purely to sell Loot Boxes. I consider myself a hardcore gamer and I am no stranger to grinding, done a ton of it in several games but mostly in GTA V. But there is gtood grind and bad grind and some games do not require grind at all and yet are still proper games, for example Tomb Raider 2013, Star Wars The Force Unleashed, KOTOR, Jedi Knight, DA:O to name just a few. People aren't casual just because they dislike having to spend hundreds of hours grinding for meagre rewards. You are correct though that the casual market and in particular the whales within it are ruining the industry for true gamers, but that is more to do with corporations like EA being short-sighted idiots who despite wanting all the money in the world, refuse to make games that most gamers will buy.

  1463. It wasn't easy for Australia to convert to Metric in the 60s either, my father still thinks in Imperial. But it can be done, it just had to be mandated and coordinated at a Federal level. Schools teach Metric and kids learn it, rulers and road signs can use both measures until people get used to it. But it will never happen in the US because Yanks are too stubborn to try.

The Interest charge and the initial fee to open the Loan wasn't enough oh no, they have to charge $30 for the computer to process the fact I made my mandatory monthly repayment. This is in Australia BTW.

  1471. Space may be big, but Earth's orbit is actually getting pretty crowded. One of the problems is when things break up into smaller things, they still have super high velocities and and can critically damage other things. Also smaller things take even longer to come down.

  1476. The main problem with this movie is mistaken concept. Its not so much that Carey can't lie, but that he is forced to admit whatever thought is currently running through his mind. There is a world of difference between simply not being able to lie and being forced to own up to everything. Its not about him being a bad attorney who doesn't know he should remain silent; the spell won't let him remain silent.

  1488. In Australia both front and back plates are mandatory and must be obscured. Trailers over a certain size need to be registered separately, but if they are small enough you can stick a hand-made plate on the back with your reg-number. Motorcycles only need back plate. Our reg stickers used to be attached to the upper left side of the windscreen and colour coded each year so cops could instantly spot an unregistered vehicle. Now they have to rely on scanning the plate and an online database. The plates don't change as long as you keep the registration up.

  1511. You skipped over a crucial part of thes story you read out. It wasn't just that she knew she had bad breaks, the accusation was that she was speeding while knowing she had bad brakes, and excess speed means you might not stop in time with good brakes. And then, while speeding with bad brakes she swerved onto the shoulder to avoid a fire truck and that is when she struck the responders. Whether she even attempted to slow down when she saw the truck you did not indicate, but that could also be a factor. Baring in mind a lights flashing fire truck should be visible from some distance away on a highway. So yes, good result that she is going away for a long time. Sad that a person had to die to stop her, and how seriously were the other responders she struck injured as well?

That said, its clearly an airport design flaw if there are no solid barriers around the security checkpoint. You don't use Pedestrian guiding ropes to separate the Secure and Unsecured sections of an airport, that is asking for trouble, you need walls.

The old yellow lights provide enough light to read by for several metres and plenty of light to see by for a 10m circle. This is obvious to anyone who looks at them, at night.

You hear about the bad apples, it gets reported nationally and even internationally, you don't hear about Officer Joe Smith who served for 30 years without incident and retired honourably. You don't even hear about the hundreds of cops who are wounded or killed on the job. Not in America where it happens every week anyway.

  1602. I'm not sure it's right to call private health insurance in the USA a band-aid when they are part of the reason healthcare is so expensive compared to the rest of the world in the first place. The mutually beneficial relationship between private hospitals and insurance companies, alongside a lack of government regulation, being why on average the same product or service costs 5 times as much in the USA.

  1605. And this is why, all other considerations aside. People should be required to pass a firearms safety course before they are allowed to purchase firearms. No different to a drivers license.

  1606. In Australia we start at 91 RON, then 95 and 98, plus E10 which is 10% ethanol at 94 Octane. So also higher than USA. Also IIRC to get the middle Octane they actually just mix the higher and lower octanes together, so they only need two tanks for three fuel mixtures.

  1607. IQ is being misused here, mostly for laughs. It's supposed to measure intellectual capacity through general Problem Solving ability, its not a measure of knowledge vs Ignorance. In theory someone raised in a shack in Mongolia should be able to score the same as an Ivy League graduate if they have the same smarts. The US's problem is both a lack of education and general insularity.

  1610. Even if the site is real, which is highly suspect, it was far from uncommon for Victorians and "archaeologists" in the early twentieth century to fake discoveries. Assuming the site is real, the claims are baseless and absurd. Just because one person claims he think something represents something does not mean it does, where is the actual evidence? Still its nice to see the opposite of the usual claims that natives couldn't build complex structures so it had to be a lost European colony. But yeah, anything coming from an ancient aliens socitety or ancient astronaughts, treat it as you would info from a Flat Earther or Trump supporter, with enough salt to fill the ocean. They're either deluded or just full of bullshit.. There is a prevailing theory that there was a cognitive evolution around 50kya based solely on modern humans arriving in Europe with a complete toolkit, but the evidence from Africa proves that false, modern humans had complex language in Africa well over 100ya.

  1611. Your switches are stupidly huge, there's nothing difficult about using one finger to operate a light switch. And if those switches designed to be used in mittens are standard, its no wonder you don't have on-off switches on the power sockets, there's no space. I mean sure you can't do it with your elbow or shoulder, but who needs that! Get a Smart Light if that's an issue.

  1616. Trump is a bought and paid for Russian Asset, he has no interest in Security Guarantees or a negotiated peace, only complete capitulation to Moscow. And this has been known for years, forget the latest premeditated meeting. Trump's open fawning over Putin; the Russian interference in the 2016 election which Trump shut down the investigation, Trump's public statements that he openly encourages Russia to invade NATO nations and that the USA will not assist if that happens, and of course all Trump's statements about Ukraine which come directly from Putin's mouth. And that's without discussing the DOGE cuts which seem singularly designed to shatter the USA and especially its influence around the world. They want to go back to the First Gilded Age when the USA was completely irrelevant on the world stage,

Certainly we have laws in Australia that you can't for example operate a forklift or scissor lift while intoxicated or even a box crusher, whether its open to the public or not. Heck we have laws that simply state you can't be intoxicated while at work, whether operating machinery or not, that's an OHS law.

  1625. There's two options to pay the minimum wage, increase prices by 20% and pay employees their federally mandated wage which is 20 years behind the inflation curve, or, and charge less but require people to leave a tip to cover the fact that you are paying employees 20% less than the federally mandated minimum wage which is 20 years behind the inflation curve. No brainer right? Its the customers fault for not tipping, not the owners fault for not paying them enough.

  1626. We could get back to normal, if every person in the world got vaccinated. But as long as 10% of the population still refuses to take the vaccine, whether because they are insisting on their right to not take it, ort because they think it will make their heads explode or be mind controlled, or whatever other dumb insane belief it is this week; the virus will remain endemic and continue to mutate into more dangerous forms.

  1638. The biggest issue with zoning restrictions isn't even the old suburbs where people don't want new developments, its brand new suburbs that are 100% zoned for single family homes. This is a major issue in Australia where new suburbs are going up in every city every year, but there hasn't been any medium or high density housing built for decades apart from retirement communities and the occasional premium apartment block built for the views where a single bedroom flat costs upwards of 500k. No rental options available. The cost of housing in California is still cheap compared to Melbourne where the median often tops $1 mil.

  1649. 40 yards? About 36.5 metres and 3 metres up to clear the bar thing? Not a particularly difficult kick for anyone who played Aussie Rules at a High School level i'd say. Although Grid Iron balls aren't really optimised for kicking its true, and of course Yankees don't really practise kicking because its a tiny part of what is really Handball. When the Goal is worth 1/2 of just throwing it over the line and you need to stop play to have the one specially appointed kicker come on, why bother?

I do it about every 2 months with my car which is bad; weekly is recommended for a reason, whether you drive a 2000 Honda Accord, a 2020 Jeep Wrangler or a Bugatti Veyron. Should be standard practice for every driver. Also, check your spare tyre pressure every few months, last thing you want is to get a flat and find the spare is also flat.

  1668.  @kurtwetzel154  Nah, its pointless and stupid to have them on when its so bright out you can't see without sunglasses, all it does is add unnecessary battery drain. I'm all for punishing manufacturers who have those lights that are always on, for cars anyway, makes sense for motorcycles. Besides, as others have pointed out, maybe the reason some people don't activate their actual lights is because they assume the automatic parking lights are enough, not remembering that tail lights are a thing for a reason.

  1677. Personally I'm in favour of just saying you can't run for office over the age of 60 or 65, unless you are defending your seat/presidency. And even then, no one can run past the age of 70. For good measure I'd also make it so judges are appointed by a panel of senior judges and lawyers rather than by politicians. Make voting rules and districts across the nation be set by a Federally funded but completely independent body. Any Justice over the age of 65 must have annual health and mental faculty examinations and if they fail Must Resign...

I'm an Agnostic, willing to believe if shown some evidence, but I'm an atheist because I don't truly believe. I'm a Humanist because I follow the proven science and believe that we should work for the common good. And I'm also a Deist because I believe that if there is a God; then he set off the Big bang and made the rules by which the Universe operates, and maybe even guided a few major events in the past that allowed humans to evolve, but he takes no active hand in Human Development and we are on our own. Oh and I like to err on the side of superstition when it comes to things like mirrors and ladders as well. All very cross-discipline and complicated, so I generally just say Agnostic as a catch all.

  1750. Well they save a few dollars on the cost of the stall, every penny counts right? We have similar high stall doors in Australia, they suck. Plus kids like to lock the doors from the inside and crawl out, just for pranks.

  1751. Hard to tell if the judge is bored, or just beyond exasperation at this case.

  1752. A standard Ventolin inhaler in Australia is about $5 because its subsidised.

  1753. So we can now officially call the UN worthless, willing to side with whoever pays the most money.

  1754. Far too many bar owners have an unofficial policy of serving till the patrons fall over, makes the RSA job of Security very difficult. I've had more than a few instances where I have tried to eject patrons who are too intoxicated and are still being supplied by their friends and the bar staff have not backed me up.

  1755. The fact that both vehicles were parked across the street from a military base should have been the first clue. Although I do think the Navy should've provide a long term parking area for deployed troops.

  1758. I doubt any official ticket would rely solely ion a QR code for payment either. Any Bill or Fine I get that doesn't require me to go to a specific bank or a post office to pay will have the option of BPAY, Post BPAY, Mailing address, probably credit card, no QR code will be listed. But Australia doesn't have 6 different enforcement branches for every town the way the US does.

  1759. This law would get more people using self checkout, just for the discount, and one of the most annoying parts of self checkout is when someone is putting an entire trolley through as it takes up a ton of spce and takes forever. The main reason to use cashiers is they are way faster than doing it yourself.

  1760. GPS, Internet Acess and Streaming (whether Internet Radio or Netflix) subscriptions should be exempted, makes sense for them to be subscription as its an ongoing service. But anything that's just a part of the car, all basic functions from heated seats to keyless entry should not need a subscription. That isn't an ongoing service, its built in.

  1764. I like the Lois and Clark episode where a merchandise entrepreneur convinces Superman to work with him because it will happen anyway and this way he can control the product and Superman says all his profits go to charity. And I imagine Tony Stark had all the trademark stuff done so he could use the proceeds to help fund The Avengers and to avoid situations like this.

  1766. For quite some time, being pissed off by roadwork speed restrictions when there are no roadworks happening on the road in question, I have held the belief that the developers should have to pay a daily fine for the traffic upset. $500 a day for lower speed limit and $1000 a day for lane closure, doubling after 30 days, doubling again if it exceeds 60 days, doubling again after another 60 days. Let's not have traffic impacted for 6 months when they only do a few days of actual work. Apparently part of the problem is a safety law that says that they need to impact traffic on adjacent roads, so if something is happening on a service road, side road or building site they have to restrict the highway. F'ing stupid.
    1
  1767. I remember the testers, but not the Temperature requirements. Maybe that's part of why I had so much trouble with them, pressing hard enough was already a trial and a pain, but temperatures in Australia aren't often a comfortable 21C.

  1768. The only surprising thing is that the official results aren't 98% Erdogan, I guess he wants to present a false image of a fair election. Let's not forget the millions of 'dissidents' under lock and key who couldn't vote, the fact that Erdogan controls Turkey's media and he also controls the elections. Although the fact that his challenger was 76, ie. geriatric may have been a factor as well, probably anyone younger had too many years to live to risk their life challenging Erdogan.

  1778. I do wonder if the money was in there more than 24hrs, if he'd be eligable for an interest payment on the 81 Trillion. Even at just 0.01%pa for one day, that'd be a nice number.

  1779. The best way to learn cricket is woth Stephen Fry's Laws of Cricket series. There is a compilation on YouTube. Each individual vid is 1-2 min. But to get started search What is Cricket on YouTube. There is a couple of vids. One better than the other.

  1785. Happens virtually every time they try to have one thing do the job of several to save money. You end up with something that costs more than the 2 things it replaced combined and is less than half as effective, if it works at all. And yet they never learn the lesson. Looking at you F-35.
    1
  1786. TBF, backing up and not blocking the Tramline is probably the smart decision and the lesser offence. He never should have gone through when their was insufficient room in the first place. Its illegal to block an intersection, its illegal and dangerous to block a tram line in that way. However, he was already committed and the left lane was clear, the correct legal action was to proceed and find another place to turn.

  1787. Activision essentially has 2 games, World of Warcraft which was relev ent 20 years ago, and Call of DFuty, which has competitiors which aren't as good, but that's on their devs, not AB, and frankly COD aint that good, even though it makes billions through predatory microtransactions and Loot Boxes which are unregulated gambling. It wouldn't be a monopoly, but Sony is terriefied of losing COD.

  1811. This situation always brings my mind back to Microsoft Office. It used to be you paid for it and it was yours forever. But now there is only Office 365 which is exclusively a Subscription model and the annual subscription is almost as expensive as it used to be to permanently own the product. And of course video games where over the last 20 years monetisation of previously free features has grown ever more predatory and todays youth are unaware of just how bad it is today as they have never known anything else. And that was achieved by a careful strategy of 3 steps forward, 1 step back. If 1 is an acceptable level of monetisation they would push things to 3 and then drop it back to 2 in response to the outrage, and people would swallow the 2 because it wasn't 3. And then the next year they would do the same thing again, its its now from 2 to 4 and back to 3 which is now palatable compared to 4.

  1812. Coriander is a spice, not a food.

  1813. Ferry idea makes the most sense. A bridge across the ocean running beside the coast is probably the best permanent solution, be easier and less destructive than going through the jungle, simply bypass the whole problem. It'd still be expensive, but probably far less costly than forging through swamps, mountains and jungle. Although it would be at risk from sabotage by the insurgent groups, being removed from them by a mile of ocean should help.
    1
  1814. Given that 4/5 drivers don't indicate correctly and at least 2/5 frequently fail to indicate at all; especially when changing lanes, but also when turning across traffic, tougher penalties should be slammed on these criminals. Still boggles my mind that here in Victoria its 3 demerits for not showing a P plate, but only 1 for not indicating.

Ironically the Electoral College could save American Democracy if by some miracle Trump wins this year, if a handful if them decide that a convicted felon and hoarder of unsecured Top Secret documents is unsuitable for the office.

  1825. He talked alot but didn't give many actual specifics. Let's take Melbourne. Subway for inner city (subway means underground. Its not confusing) rest of network is ground level except for an elevated section between the regional hub of Spencer Street and the city hub of Flinders Street. Commuting by train is easy, you drive or walk to the station in your suburb and take the train into the city, thus skipping rush hour traffic and the expensive nightmare of parking in the city. Can commute from other cities an hour away just as easily. Melbourne also has extensive tram and bus network.

  1833. The AMPOl thing, means someone screwed up the price of Unleaded on the sign. Should be about 205c a litre, not 105. Also, it is pretty typical that Diesel, which is half as expensive to manufacture is twice the price. Remember the 90s when Diesel was always cheaper than petrol? Good times.

  1843. No they don't always give a warning, some stations might, but supermarkets and Maccas will sometimes play 'songs' filled with the N word, as well as occasionally the S and F words. No apologies at all, and they'll do it in the middle of the day.

  1844. A lot of sites lock you out after 3 or so failed attempts. NVIDIA is the worst though as they make it impossible to change your email login data, especially if like me you accidentally put in @ggmail instead of gmail and so any access emails have the wrong address.

  1846. This is also why you should always turn off a power switch before plugging or unplugging anything, indeed for safety reasons they should always be turned off unless something is plugged in. An option mission from American sockets which are just the socket with no included switch.

  1848. EH and the Monaro. And its the lack of import taxes that killed Holden, same reason Ford and Toyota shut down their factories. In the last 10 years the market has been flooded with cheap imports from France, Korea, Italy, Malaysia, China and other places. Usd to be you would never see a Fiat, Renot, Citrine, Peugeot, let alone a Great Wall. Now they are everywhere.

  1855. Well of course its not in the first amendment, the Founding Fathers had no idea audio recording would ever be possible, doesn't mean it shouldn't be a right. As for difficulty copying, something wrong with photocopiers and duel tape decks, let alone digital.

  1856. The ball is fairly grippy in the dry, but rain and mud can make it harder, and you need two hands to hold it because its so fat. There was a great game in I think 2018 where it was pissing down rain and the ball was so slick with mud players couldn't get a hold of it.

  1859. People not indicating correctly is my major road rage trigger. Most people only indicate as they make the turn, not before the turn to indicate their intention to turn as they are supposed to. Hence the need for distances or time triggers for how long its supposed to be. Enter reasonable and everyone will say well I had it on as I made the turn, that's reasonable isn't it? Roundabouts, you should indicate on approach to the roundabout, continue indicating as you go around, and if its a large enough roundabout switch to indicate intention to exit as you pass the last exit before yours. You don't need to indicate if going straight through, unless its one of really big roundabouts like you get on freeways. Anyway what is really dangerous is people turning across oncoming traffic without indicating. Our rule is 30m (about 100 ft) in built up areas, which is roughly 3 driveways, 5 seconds warning when changing lanes. And 90% of drivers don't indicate at all when changing lanes.

  1866. The USA also has a Foreign Agents registry for the Press, it was used to counteract Nazi propaganda in WWII. The difference of course is in how the law is written and implemented, and in Georgia just like in Russia and China, it is indeed about silencing dissent.

  1886. Ironically Gulf of America is a more generic name that fits better with a gulf that borders 4 different American nations, not just Mexico. Even so Trump can't just unilaterally rename an international body of water. And of course he'd flip his wig if anyone tried to suggest to him that Mexico is part of America.

  1891. Its not a hotdog, what a twit. Hotdogs are frankfurts and they are boiled, not fried. Its 'a pig ina blanket'. Although our sausages are actually beef, not pork. Can also just call it a snag. And BBQ sauce, pass, I'll stick with tomato sauce. Also, you don't want butter with a sausage. Personally I skip the onions too, they're great in a hamburger, but for a snag, just want the sausage, the bread and the sauce. And make sure the sauce isn't too sweet, so no Rosella, Dick Smith's is easily the best since Heinz changed the Big Red recipe to be more in line with American 'ketchup' whatever the hell that is.

  1892. You're wrong about Trump's motives. He's fully aware of how damaging his polices are to the USA, and that's why he is doing it. He's been a Russian Agent since 1987 and to everyone who says that's a conspiracy theory, just look at what he is doing. Crippling the US economy, threatening its allies, encouraging its foes, ending USAID which buys from Americans to project American power and influence. To say nothing of the Classified Documents kept unsecured at a resort where he regularly entertains foreign dignitaries. His goal is to bring the USA to its knees, to Make America Garbage Again.

  1906. Choice between Nuclear waste disaster or back to agrarian? two extremes. Honestly, the amount of waste food in developed countries could feed Africa as it is, and there is also a lot of agricultural ground currently wasted on useless/harmful products like tobacco, marijuana, coca and other drugs. Plus the enormous amount of land used to grow products like coffee that could be transitioned to food production if required. Even so, there is a ceiling, plus vast amounts of land are going to be lost to rising sea levels before this century is out, not to mention all the droughts, floods and severe storms brought about by climate change. Eventually starvation will force the population to fall back into check, especially as the consequences start to pile up. The first major hit will be the lack of seafood due to current severe over-fishing and also the warming ocean temperatures.

Whether its because the Eftpos machine is broken, or the internet is down, or just slow due to cold weather, or maybe its a blackout. Or your using a phone app and your battery is dead, of the phone is incompatible with the reader. Always good to have some cash on you. Of course in the USA the real issue with cash is if the police find you have some on you, they will steal it. Civil Asset Forfeiture.

  1924. Yes, but licence being suspended is one thing, jail for cheating in a private tournament is another. they weren't even charged with fraud, just 'cheating' and that's a a Felony? Also, by the prosecutors own admission they can only be held accountable for the one proven offence, so how do they justify seizing the boat? CAF? Although I guess it was actually used to commit a crime so its Criminal Asset Forfeiture in this case.

  1925. NFL Teams are all privately owned aren't they? If he hates it that much he needs to buy the teams. In Australia most AFL teams are actually owned by the members of the club and any fan can purchase a yearly membership which gives them free tickets and the right to vote for board members and such which gives them some sway. Although ultimately the AFL itself makes the really stupid decisions based on what they believe will make the most money.

  1928. There's just too many flaws with the US election system as well. Australia is far from perfect, but at least we have preferential voting. Council elections are also Mail Ballots only, so takes no real time to vote, the bigger problem is generally not knowing or caring who is on the local council unless there is a scandal or they are just doing a bad job.

  1929. Our University essays were run through anti-plagiarism software, I see no issue with running anti-chatbot software in schools. To be frank though, I think doing more work in class instead of as homework can only be a good thing, especially for people with short attention span (like kids and teens).

  1934. The Australian figure dor vacation and hours doesn't count the fact that 90% of low income earnets are casual employees with no paid sick leave or vacations. No job security and to compensate for a decent wage, often only 10-20 hours a week. Also 90% of fast food and supermarket jobs are taken by 16 year old school kids because they can be paid less. This meabs fewer jobs available for those who need them.
    1
  1935. I think they should have gotten a warrant, as you always say if you can get one, why not get one? That said, I strongly disagree with your argument that it leading to catching criminals in the act being a bad thing. I believe that Criminal Actions should have Less Protections than civil infringements because with criminal actions people Are being hurt. And that is why the Supreme Court is wrong on this matter, but then it comes down to your Constitution. Really irritates me when people with trunks full of illegal material get away with it because it was an extended traffic stop or whatever. That isn't police overreach, it's police doing their jobs. Very different to CAF.

You should cover 'The school of the air' at some point, although I don't know if it even still exists in this age of the internet where 90% of the children in Australia have been home-schooled for the past 18 months due to Covid. Certainly not the same as the traditional Tw-Way Radio schooling of the 70s and 80s.

  1948. I'm just a nobody with no military experience, but I can tell you what it means. All support for Ukraine and Gaza will be ended, instead the arms shipments will go to Israel and maybe even to Russia. China can feel safe invading Taiwan because Trump is not going to try and stop them. Its not inconceivable for the US to send troops to aid Israel and Russia, although as the US Armed Forces are mostly going to be involved removing all opposition to Trump within the United States, they may be a little busy. After all the Supreme Court of the United States said explicitly that if Trump wants to use Seal Tam 6 to assassinate his political rivals, that's part of his core powers.

Echidnas are very different to porcupines, even though they share many characteristics, AS I understand it, Porcupine quills are barbed and release from the animal when they spike someone, echidna spikes are straight and firmly attached. Also they are egg-laying mammals. It's convergent evolution.
    1
  1951. Your argument is persuasive Ian. I am all in favour of a blanket ban on pistols as well as SBRs, except for Law Enforcement, military and security,. However, in the absence of the pistol ban, which is against the second amendment as currently misinterpreted, then the ban on SRBs is indeed pointless and should be repealed.

  1954. The problem is for the last 70 years the Republicans have been saying that any and all Social projects are a communist plot to destroy America. Guns are a right, not commie healthcare for the sick they say. But really its Reagan to blame, hes the one first who made the decision to allow provate interests to rin rampant.

    1
  1956. The Anti-Democracy stance is a flawed outlook, even without its obvious dictatorial elements. Rebellion is inspired by ill-treatment, not public spaces, and people will always find somewhere to meet. There was no town square in Ballarat, but that didn't stop the Eureka Stockade.
    1
  1957. Well if Trump succeeds in his plan to deport every coloured person not a millionaire, that's a lot less people needing government funding. But really P25 lays out the cuts and it will include things like the EPA, FDA, OSHA, NHTSA and FTC as well as Education, IRS, ATF, Obamacare.

  1958. The Republicans are repeating the exact same lies the Slave Owners used 150 years ago to justify enslavement. That it was purely for the Negro's own benefit. Its atrocious and the fact that anyone saying such things isn't immediately stoned ff the stage, but instead gets financial support and approving crowds... really proves that racism is alive and strong.

  1960. But Electric Cars won't stay on the road. The batteries have a maximum life of 10 years, 5 years with Fast Charging, and a new battery pack costs more than the value of the car at that point. Also, we are rapidly running out of Lithium. Hydrogen is the future and its a bad thing that battery cars have undermined that investment.

  1962. I don't know about Bathurst. The major gold rush was in Ballarat, then spelled Ballaarat which is about 130km northwest of Melbourne and the find that sparked it all off was in Buninyong, today a suburb of Ballarat. But 'The Golden Triangle' encompassed several major towns in a region a couple hundred km across. Melbourne being the major port and capital city benefited a lot from the gold rush.

  1971. The changes to the lore so that a woman can be the Dragon had nothing to do with making it "less boring." Its because of the showrunners militant post-feminist ideas that the only way to have strong female characters is to have the men be weak and pointless and the women either be Mary Sues who can do anything without effort, or incompetent Tyrants who demand obedience without ever giving a reason to respect them.

But most of the cost is just the price of oil, although you will almost always pay more at a Shell or BP than at an APCO. because their greedy.

  2008. @ Stolen Classified Documents kept unsecured at his private resort where he regularly entertains Russian Oligarchs, Phone calls to Putin as a Private Citizen. Thinking Putin actually respects him. Actively Destroying US soft power around the world, both through cancelling USAID and of course the Tariffs, trashing 80 years of hard-built alliances in days. Encouraging Putin to invade NATO allies with no fear of USA backing them up. Threatening to annex US Allies. Siding with Russia over Ukraine despite that being in the worst interests of the United States. Literally aligning US Foreign Policy with that of its second greatest enemy, Baseless? Even without the Ex-Soviet Spy report its f'ing obvious.
    1
  2009.  @AlexZiegler37  No, it's a report that matches perfectly with everything he has said and done over the past decade. Firing multiple FBI Directors to stop an investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election. Classified Documents kept unsecured at a private resort where he entertains foreign dignitaries. Shutting down the agencies responsible for preventing Foreign Influence in US elections. Ending all US soft power around the world, influence that took decades to build torn apart over night. Breaking the US economy with his tarriffs and hundreds of thousands of job losses. Parroting Kremlin Talking Points and siding with Russia against NATO. And that's just a handful of his recent crimes against the United States.
    1
  2010. ​@ No, its not. Proof is in the Pudding and everything Trump has said and done over the past 10 years has strengthened Russia and weakened the United States. - Shutting down the investigation into Russian interference in 2016 election. - Shutting down all departments responsible for preventing foreign influence immediately after taking office this year. - Jan 6. - Ending USAID which buys food from US farmers to export US influence. - Tariffs and annexation talks against US allies - Encouraging Russia to invade NATO countries. - Parroting Kremlin talking points and supporting Russia against Ukraine. - The Classified Documents in Florida. And so much more. He is Making America Garbage Again.

  2011. ​@ Indeed. From the Muller Report to Jan 6 and the Classified Documents. Shutting down the departments responsible for preventing Foreign interference in US elections. Parroting Kremlin propaganda and supporting Russia against Ukraine and also encouraging Russia against NATO countries. Ending USAID which existed to spread US power by buying food from US farmers. Wanting to acquire Canada, Panama and Greenland. Everything Project 2025. DOGE and Tarriffs. Its all designed to Make America Garbage Again.

  2012.  @evilemperorzurg9615  You sir are the perfect MAGA fool. The proof as they say is in the pudding and anyone with a rational mind, can see how everything Trump does serves to undermine the USA while furthering Russian influences. Just look at what Trump openly says. His open love for Putin while betraying US allies. To say nothing of the classified documents and the Muller report. Just look at what he does with an objective eye instead of your usual religious conviction that Trump is God incarnate.

  2022. Prostitution is legal in Licenced Brothels which are required to run weekly health checks on the employees, use condoms and follow various other government rules. IIRC the girls take half the cash, the brothel the rest, although its called room rental or similar. There is a movement pushing for street workers to be legal as they could then give a larger slice to the women, personally I think that's a stupid idea. Licensed premises provide safety and security for both the workers and the clients. I believe Escorts may be legal in some states, don't know about that. Anyway regulating the industry is certainly a better idea than say the US system where its illegal and you still have workers on every street corner, but without any security for workers or clients.

  2029. The so called gender pay gap won't go away because its mostly fictional in advanced economies. The statistics are driven by outliers like CEOs earning hundreds of millions and more general high paying jobs including surgeons and lawyers. But a lot of it is the jobs people choose to do where the hourly rate is the same for both sexes but not as high as in other professions.

  2030. Do you mean Brokerage?

  2031. Well we know what SCOTUS will do, I mean Thomas has said that a Bump Stock is perfectly fine and does not in any way transform any rifle into a machine gun.

  2032. I did Debating in High School, scoring is based on Matter, Manner and Method split 40, 40, 20 in terms of potential points. That's Facts, Presentation and Following the Rules.

  2033.  @callumscott953  actually meant radio telescopes. Lack of local radio interference due to its isolation.

  2034. Honestly the worst part of the pilot is that the murderer will get away with it because there just isn't enough evidence to convict him personally beyond a reasonable doubt. No one saw him push the RIO off the deck, its just suspicion based on his overt sexism and hatred for Lobo.

  2035. I'm sorry, but no matter how well choreographed, the idea of a woman In Labour effortlessly cutting down an entire squad of seasoned soldiers in full plate armour is just stupid! Its an unnecessary scene thrown in to again show badass woman defeats weak men. Common sense and physics be damned.

  2036. My dad's set of Stanley premium screwdrivers are still doing an excellent job after 40 years. Not exactly a daily use item in private ownership, but they always work. Of course we don't actively try and destroy them, a good workman looks after his tools.

  2037. It just highlights the difference between Trump's rhetoric and Biden's actions. Trump talks a big game about helping working Americans, but he really only cares about the 1% Biden on the other hand sees a problem and immediately moves to fix it, and doesn't need to make a big song and dance about it either.

  2038. You need to cover that incandescent thing, also Pressure Lamps.

  2039. In Australia Meter readers require access to your meters, but they aren't stored in the basement. Usually they are on the outside of the house, or at worst in a vestibule, atrium or covered balcony. Inside, but not really inside the actual house. Our old house in Ballarat had one in the front atrium, so the power company ha a key to that, but not the main house. That's power meters. Gas and water meters are Always outside and water meters are always in the front garden if one exists.

  2040. Its expensive because its a 15 hour flight from L.A. to Sydney.

  2041. My dad loves to tell the story of how when he was young and regularly raced bicycles, he won a race once because there was a hail storm and 90% of the competitors dropped out to take shelter. I'm not sure if they were full tennis ball sized hail though.

  2042. Too much information. Is the sound quality better or not?

  2043. Cats like boxes because they are warm. They evolved in deserts.

  2044. You used to be aloud to climb The Rock, but its been banned now, mostly because its sacred to the local aborigines, and also because people used to leave body waste and other trash up there in massive quantities. I climbed it as a child and it was a singularly powerful experience, I wish I could do it again. Even without climbing it though, the area is full of incredible scenery, rock art and sunsets that will blow your mind. Its the worlds largest single stone monolith and 2/3 of it is below the ground.

  2045. One thing I can not understand is why the name Oldsmobile ever became a thing. What marketing genius was behind that monniker? Was it initially marketed to retirees?

  2047. That's not fog, that's just mist, with fog the car in front would be invisible except maybe its lights.

  2048. Fake snow is far from the norm, but also far from unheard of.

  2049. And then you get these non-hetero people trying to invent the term 'CIS' pronounced 'sis' for straight white men when Sissy is a derogatory term for cross-dressers and gays. Them's fighting words.

  2050. I used to use my iPod Nano connected to the Audio Jack, but when Apple moved away from actual buttons to touch screens it became impossible to use the controls without looking at them, so kaiboshed that. And then they decided in their wisdom that due to their sales inexplicably halving when they doubled the price they shouldn't even bother with the iPod and just make stupidly overpriced phones. So I now have an Android and Apple does not have my money.

  2051. I dunno, I mean how useful is it to have your DNA info other than for law enforcement, medical information or genealogy surveys? What's a criminal going to do, blackmail me with the info that I have some English ancestry?

  2055. The lurch with potholes lets you know that the car has been knocked out of trim and you can adjust to correct, without it you might skid into a tree or oncoming traffic.

  2057. Strange feeling of de'ja vu like I have seen you cover this topic before. *Shrug*. Excellent video anyway, interesting and informative as always.

  2058. These days in Australia you have to supply your birth certificate or passport to get any job, from shelf stocker in a supermarket to the creamiest of white collar. Something to do with tax, but also to avoid stolen identity issues.

  2059. The real problem with outdoor cats isn't the threat to them, but the threat they pose. It's illegal here to have cats out after 6pm for that reason, used to be 9. But a lot of cat owners keep the cat in all day and let them out at night. Most don't even have bells, which would help. On average, cats kill 2.92 million mammals, 1.67 million reptiles, 1.09 million birds, 0.26 million frogs and 2.97 million invertebrates every 24 hours. Of course the bigger issue is the millions of feral cats, but they came from people too.

  2060. Maybe they mean the oven? Hard to think what other machinery they have in the stores. Pizza Hut has dough mixing machines which you need to be 16 to use, but Subway ship their dough in from a warehouse, its just baked on site.

  2061. Also you don't get a scope in the eye.

  2062. Silvers are cents, golds are dollars. The lines around the platypus are waves/ripples, but also make it harder to forge. The new $2 is the only one with different colours, traditionally they are all plain gold coloured. They do commemorative designs for certain years fairly often, so there is a huge variety of designs in current use. Also, sometimes New Zealand 20c pieces get mixed in somehow. There is some clever trick to the way the coins weigh compared to each other, but I forget what it is. Used to be 1 and 2c coins in brass but they stopped making those back in the 90s.

  2063. What really happened was John Howard relaxed all the import tariffs protecting Australian industry, and over the next 15 years the country became increasingly flooded with cheap cars from Indonesia, China, India and France. Despite government bailouts, which mostly went to shareholders, Toyota, Holden and Ford ultimately moved their plants to Indonesia and Thailand so they wouldn't have to pay Union rates or Australian Taxes. Why pay $20 an hour when you can pay $20 a week? And also skimp on the AC.

  2064. Pete's Dragon was one of my favourite films as a child, I have no interest in watching the remake. And honestly the CGI Muppet dragon is less appealing and less realistic to me than the cartoon original. Dragon's should not be hairy unless they are a Luck Dragon.

  2067. The screw thread may be standard in America, but we mainly use the much simpler and better two prong system in Australia.

  2068. Its why Legal Use of Force under Australian Law includes Amicable, which roughly translates to Sports. Its a risk you sign up for when you play the game. Sorry for the kid, but it was definitely the right verdict.

  2069. The moral of the4 story is, always err on the side of caution, if you are going to be off by an inch, be an inch into your property, not the other way round.

  2071. 131332, it rang a bell, but wasn't one I remembered. 131 0h 0e 8. That I remember. Also 131166 Pizza Hut Delivery. And everyone knows 13 double 16 triple 5, 06.

  2072. I wonder if that's where the idea of radiation glowing green comes from.

  2073. None of that covers the issues with Negative Gearing and that property, both purchased and rental is becoming completely unaffordable by an ever increasing percentage of the population as investors buy up dozens of houses and families cannot afford one.

  2074. The Flinders from what I remember are desert plains on one side and forests on the other. Its quite the contrast, there is one point as you exit away from Adelaide where you exit the forested mountains and there is a lookout and the view. oh my god, you have to experience it to understand.

  2077. I can't help but think of the red carpet scene from The Aviator; all those exploding bulbs, and they drop the discards on the ground to make a nice broken glass walking surface.

  2078.  @ldkellandshaw  Many will I am sure, but the traits have a draft limitation of 21.3 meters, that said even Neopanamax ships are well within that, so yeah, comes down to distance.

  2080. It's not really voluntary if its mandatory. Strange requirement, its not like its narcolepsy.
    1
  2081. Its because they don't build Medium density houses anymore. Too many NIMBYs, too many council zone restrictions. Oh the Capital Gains waiver and Negative Gearing makes it worse, but really since the late 80s they just stopped building flats, townhouses and units in Australia, UK, USA, Canada, etc. Its 99% single family detached house, 0.9% high rise luxury apartments and 0.1% the rest. And today the Millennials and Gen Z are suffering the inevitable result.

  2082. Well they'll get push-back from all the people driving on fake tags, same as all the speeders who complain about speed cameras and drink drivers who complain about random breath tests. Also there might be some genuine worries about delays in supply of metal plates and processing of registration.

  2083. My one question was whether there was an exception for police surveillance With a Warrant.

  2084. Lots of consumers are disgusted by Nikes being made in sweatshops in Indonesia where children are paid 70c an hour to make $200+ shoes. However, I actually have to side with Nike on this one, despite the irony, these shoes are disgusting and it is brand damaging. Pretty much what I expect from a Hate Rapper though.

  2086. 5:40 That's Sydney, not Canberra. Canberra doesn't have skyscrapers and certainly doesn't have the Sydney Tower (the thing that looks like Seattle's space needle). Canberra looks like a giant Roundabout and is really designed to be seen from the air.

  2088. Old News. And we have already seen the results, scammers and jokesters paying for the checkmark and impersonating people and companies. Only if they impersonate Musk they get banned.

  2090. 9:48 You know, apart from the 'foreign nationals' part, that order seems to heavily apply to the MAGA cult and indeed to Trump himself. They don't like Freedom of Speech that disagrees with them, they don't like Non-Christian religions and they are dedicated to replacing the existing USA culture and with a heavily curated one by completely overturning the US Constitution. They certainly don't care about the infringing upon the Rights of Others, only about themselves.

  2091. Pretty good, but full 15th century plate is really wrong for the 5th-6th century. Medieval sword too. Fits with Le Morte d'Arthur though I guess.

  2092. Poker machines, often called the pokies, refers to slot machines, not the game Poker. They are in nearly every pub in Victoria and are quite frankly a scourge.

  2093. Its not entirely due to deforestation. 1/3 of the desertification is due to the introduction of rabbits, but it all adds up.

  2094. Polar Bears advertise Bunderburg Rum, not coke.

  2095. While it is true that the Vikings would trade as far as Constantinople, few made that trip personally and they weren't carrying people back. They sold Irish slaves to the Moors in Spain, not the other way round.

  2096. 2 family home for 300k, god you Americans have it cheap. That would barely buy a 1 bedroom flat here, or condo as you would call it.
