Same, sprained my wrist/forearm a while back and couldn't rotate it without pain or take any weight palm up. Couldn't even rotate a door knob. It wasn't until I pushed through with weights, avoiding any underhand grips o

This... Gemini will ask for the specific images it needs to see and show you examples of what each slice will look like. But unlike the specialists who often come across as abrupt and rush you, Gemini will happily take you on a deep dive an

Maybe because Albanese stands for nothing, though deep down he does what the unions tell him to do, which makes him left-leaning rather than centrist. His centrist positioning is more to do with appeasing vocal boomers than anything else, a

Contact tracing is a valuable tool when eradication is an option. It probably should have been used early to manage the current H5N1 (bird flu) pandemic by tracing poultry and livestock movements. Can't do much about migratory wild bir

Yes, very much the same as both countries' laws evolved from Common Law, and have legislated for Human Rights in line with UNESCO.

The Covid vaccination should have only been given to those in the population that were most at risk: The elderly and those who were at risk due to comorbidities. 81% of deaths alone occurred in the over 65 population. [1] There's the a

Depends where you lived. There were a few grocery stores in Australia that banned entry without proof of vaccination at the time. It was also widely discussed. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2021-10-06/morrison-busine

The whole public buy-in is very much what is going on in Queensland, Australia right now that is attempting to eradicate fire ants. Even the funding fight to get the Commonwealth and neighbouring states to pitch in, as they have the potenti

Jeff Attwood in his Coding Horror post about Rubber Duck Debugging mentioned that as well. I would think he wouldn't have considered it bad style. https://blog.codinghorror.com/rubber-duck-problem-solving/

There has been many a time where the process of thinking through in my head how I was going to describe the problem to someone else on the way over to them, that a testable idea pops up. Could probably have gone for a walk around the block

That video gave me ESB Han Solo carbon freeze vibes. Not sure if that was the stylistic intent they were going for. I guess there's a good chance those who worked on the video weren't even born when it was released.

The rule in Australia for roundabouts is that you give way to anyone already on a roundabout. From an advanced driving course I got to do years ago (for free), I learnt that the pedestrian island counts as part of the roundabout, so a pedes

That is a very basic roundabout. I was expecting by "magic" that you would have to go round some part in reverse (clockwise for US left-hand driving). This is nothing compared to the original "magic" roundabout of Swindo

It's about leaving it in the state you would like to have found it. No rubbish, no abandoned equipment, no bouldering-style puzzles already solved because someone has stuck a bolt there. I do wonder whether the boulderers find it annoy

There is the "Leave No Trace" principle where you do not leave anything behind. This is why you see in trad climbing the lead will place cams and nuts, while the last in the group on that pitch retrieves them.

Used to watch the competitive wood chopping at my local agricultural show all the time. The highlight was always the tree felling competition. Each competitor has an axe and four springer boards, and it's a race to basically chop the t

For a non-bat to experience what it is like to be a bat, you have to embrace one of two philosophies: - Dualism: body and soul/consciousness are separate), or - Panpsychism: consciousness is fundamental and doesn't emerge from the

Problem is, most of these "coastal" acacias don't live very long. Same with grevilleas. The ones we have planted in our garden will likely need replacing in 7-15 years.

What I find bizarre is the word "siesta" doesn't appear in this article. People have been working around the hot summer hours in Southern Europe for centuries. Until recent times it was part of the culture.
