  • ‘Take them away, crush them’: Australia faces an ebike surge that some say poses a health emergency

    Given the many flame wars that have erupted on this issue, I was kinda disappointed that nobody has yet responded,"What do mean by 'most' people? Where did you get your data from? Have you got any proof to back up your statement?"

  • Why most Australians won't get a weekday off for Anzac Day in 2026 [but Western Australia and ACT do]

    Jump

  • @Salvo

    Naah. The bean counters already take the variations in the number of workdays into account.

    That's why, when one hears of economic figures, one often hears the expression "seasonally adjusted" at various points. (Variations in "work days" are one factor of "seasonal adjustment".)

  • @CameronDevSure!Cardboard isn't a perfect solution... nor was I suggesting it was any kid of solution.

    Edit: I forgot it was you who'd already referenced the sketch! Sorry!

    I was just making a joke referencing this sketch, featuring Senator Collins:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3m5qxZm%5C_JqM

    3 minutes. Take a look!

    It's one of those rare occasions where it would be better for the environment if "festival tents" were made out of "cardboard" or "cardboard derivatives..."

  • @Hawke

    When I was a kid, my parents renovated the Queenslander (an architectural style of house) we were living in.

    We had hundreds of asbestos sheets that had been removed and "needed" to be broken up for easier disposal.

    My brother and I "karate kicked" to pieces.

    There's more to the story, but I'm feeling a bit short of breath...

  • What's the highest # of tabs you've opened while troubleshooting something? (linux or not linux related)

    Jump

  • @TheTwelveYearOld

    I'm a Linux Mint newbie, so, at most, 4 tabs opened to resolve a glitch.

    Well, 4 tabs if the search engine used was DuckDuckGo...... but, as much as I hate to admit it, only 2 or 3 tabs if Google was used to find the needed pages.

  • Summer is coming. How long do you shower for?

    Jump

  • @wildwhitehorsesNo, I'm not "new to Australia".

    The point I was making is that the "duration of our showers" is comparatively insignificant compared to commercial water use and wastage.

    Data centres, for AI processing, needlessly waste water resources.

    Growing rice and cotton on the world's driest continent seems a bit stupid.

    Screwing the geology of the Great Artesian Basin to extract gas seems short-sighted.

    There are FAR more pressing concerns than how much water we individuals use while showering. (Sure, there are some small towns or shires where this is a concern.)

  • Summer is coming. How long do you shower for?

    Jump

  • @wildwhitehorses

    Yeah, right. Any water shortages are likely due to personal hygiene requirements of people, and nothing to do with new b.s. AI data processing centres using gigalitres to cool equipment and maintain humidity levels.

    Got it.

    True. However, that's buried in the 'fine print' of the second verse, and very few people know there is a second verse, let alone the words!

  • @Etterra

    It's slightly less ironic.

    The seppos have the world famous Statue of Liberty and a plaque with the words, "Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe."

    Us Aussies still haven't had the guts to dump the Union Jack from our own flag, let alone establish a bill of rights.

    A small but well-earned round of applause for correctly using "distasteful" rather than "tasteless".

    Now, to be clear, if our federal politicians continue down this path towards "identity verification" in order for people to use the web, then I, for one, suggest we overthrow our government, using physical violence if necessary.
