- Comment on Albanese invites Arab 'hypermarket' to compete with Coles and Woolworths 4 days ago:
100% agree.
- Comment on Albanese invites Arab 'hypermarket' to compete with Coles and Woolworths 5 days ago:
I agree but if you can’t move your home closer then you need to be willing to travel further for savings.
- Comment on Albanese invites Arab 'hypermarket' to compete with Coles and Woolworths 6 days ago:
Blaming corporations for cashing in on convenience is just silly. Most colesworth stores have a local butcher, poultry and grocer next to them. Don’t expect for profit businesses to help you. Walk a few extra steps.
- Comment on Albanese invites Arab 'hypermarket' to compete with Coles and Woolworths 6 days ago:
Move closer to a market if it’s too hard to stop past one on a weekend or open weekday.
- Comment on Albanese invites Arab 'hypermarket' to compete with Coles and Woolworths 6 days ago:
Because it works
- Comment on Summer is coming. How long do you shower for? 2 weeks ago:
Agreed they all DC’s are and will be a problem but agriculture has everything beat with water usage. Still doesn’t hurt to conserve drinking water by shorter showering. I’m not going to do it but I can’t fault people that do.
ABS usage study from decade ago. Old but shows my point.

- Comment on In Paris it’s normal to raise a family in a three-bedroom apartment. Why aren’t we building more in Australia? 3 weeks ago:
Yeah it’s shit. Near my parents there is a bunch of old housing commission houses. 1 bedroom houses that are bigger than most 2 bedroom apartments. They need to build them with more space stacked up. So that all around in city train and tram stops and you get a lot of desirable supply
- Comment on In Paris it’s normal to raise a family in a three-bedroom apartment. Why aren’t we building more in Australia? 3 weeks ago:
This is the problem. They should be mandated into the build. At least half the building is 3,4&5 bedroom apartments

- Comment on Claim 1544 migrants arrive daily misuses data: experts | AAP 4 weeks ago:
Pretty much. Anything over 0 is too many apparently.
Stopping legal migration will just make the illegal trade bigger and more dangerous.

Bring back local wireless networks to connect us together and keep the big Yankee tech mobs out of our faces.
- Comment on Australian Labor government threatens Signal encrypted messaging system 2 months ago:
From page 25 there is crime clearance rates in Australia for the 2 decades before the internet. Looks like crime was solved before the internet existed.

An election?
- Comment on This Tiny Radio Lets Me Send Texts Without Wi-Fi or Cell Service 2 months ago:
We are in talks to build one for a local power utility. These are cheaper for nice-to-have sensors that aren’t critical. Most electricity meters in Victoria use a mesh network provided through silverspring devices to collect usage readings.
I’ve also heard about a rural water utility using a mesh network to connect water meters together to reduce the number of times an onsite reading is required.
Telcos are already trying to compete with mesh networks by providing low bandwidth LTE-M services that are lower cost for utilities. Nokia are pushing 450connect, 450 alliance, etc as more competitors also.
There are plenty of use cases for low bandwidth systems and services. Isolated network is great when the telcos have pages too.

100% this. At least epic tried to make a value proposition for developers but developers can just make more from steam. Having said that, steam/valve had a hand in the always online gaming situation which we have all just come to accept. I buy from Gog where I can
