Yeah, dogs have an amazing sense of smell. When I was a kid I used to pick up a pinecone and throw it for our lab-cross into an area under the pine trees that was littered in pinecones. She would run to where she saw it land and roll, then

I highly recommend a fantastic indie game called "Turing Complete" ( https://turingcomplete.game/ ) Its basically a digital logic simulator/playground, masquerading as a game. Early levels have you solving a s

Actually, it was the fail safe auto-land system that functioned perfectly and put these things in the Yarra in the first place. Something went wrong (presumeably with their radio link) and they executed their fail-safe procedure, which was

I'm in exactly the same boat. Eventually I opened one if his phone bills which had his phone number (UK). I rang him and tried to explain the situation which quickly turned surreal. He argued that I was lying about getting his phon

Agreed. I had amazing fun playing the first bits of Far Cry 1, sneaking through the jungle and playing sniper. It was great. Then I got to the end part, inside dark buildings and suddenly stealth isn't important at all, its more o

Where I grew up, with a comprehensive taxpayer funded healthcare system that works I believe standard is you are given the option of surgery after dislocating your shoulder 3 times. The thinking is a lot of people dislocate their shoulder,

The dumping of excess fuel would have been done after satellite deployment, which as per this page: https://www.nasaspaceflight.com/2022/07/starlink-4-25/ is at 230 km (140 miles). This is way, way above the

This seems to depend on the "lock with master password on restart" to be disabled. In other words, your password fault is unlocked, so yeah it follows that the PIN could be brute-forced. This is all about the tradeoff between secu

My dishwasher (LG) plays a cheerful tune to let you know when it has finished its cycle (60 mins) At least its not too obtrusive, and it only does it once. But.... then it has a cooldown timer, and if you open the door within the next 30 m

Sorry, but this is complete nonsense. All apple have to do is release documentation on the iMessage protocol, and allow other vendors to use this protocol to build apps that can use apple's iMessage service. Apple obviously won't

I read a story, "Maybe" true, probably not that once one of the testing organizations that did exactly these sorts of tests used to use frozen chickens from the supermarket. They would load the air-cannon the night before the tes

They are doing it to obfuscate the capabilities and usage of their app. Yes, this should set of big warning bells.

While I'm definitely wary of government overreach and not really a fan of the Pandemic management bill the Vic government passed to replace the use of state of emergency powers, at least this bill did say that its provisions could only

Can you elaborate? Fusion reactors don't produce any fissionable material.

I don't know anything about Common Sense Skeptic but Thunderf00t has a well known hate of Elon musk and tries to trash pretty much everything he does. I watched a bit of the Common Sense Skeptic video and heard several completely incor

I just read up on Pandemrix, thanks for the info. However, this does prove my point: The people who developed narcolepsy after this vaccine started showing symptoms one to two months after their vaccine.

I'm not in the US, I'm in Australia. And I picked the flu vax just as an example. I should have instead questioned your statement that I wasn't in a risk group. Everyone is at risk from covid, admitedly some much more than

The actual truth is "long term consequences" from a vaccine, besides immunity are just not a thing. I bet you can't name one vaccine that has had a "long term consequence" that has emerged more than a few months aft

I'm sorry but your post is completely wrong. >Before covid, nobody would recommend you to take a vaccine against something you are not in a risk group for How about the Flu vax? I'm a healthy middle aged guy with no risk facto

Thank you for your informative reply. You are right, regular (as in, weekly or more frequently) testing should also prove effective at preventing the spread amongst both vaccinated and unvaccinated people. But, the key there is you would ha

I am a bit on the fence with Vaccine mandates, I wish they weren't necessary. But I get the key reason for them, which you have missed, is it isn't really about the health choices of the person getting vaccinated. If your vaccinat

While I agree with some of your points (such as, the operators of the plant were criminally negligent for not responding to the known flooding from tsunami risk) the overall point of the article is much of the permanent evacuations and deco

Musk has actually talked about that before, during the early stages of Raptor development. He said they were downsizing Raptor from the originally planned size, because their analysis showed a smaller size was the sweet spot for maximum th
