Yeah this is a great idea. The Palestine contestant can sing about what a cunt Israel is being.
- Comment on In Paris it’s normal to raise a family in a three-bedroom apartment. Why aren’t we building more in Australia? 1 week 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? 1 week 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 2 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.

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 1 month 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

- Comment on From $30 parmigianas to $15 pints, can Australia still afford the pub? 4 months ago:
This is legible.
- Comment on From $30 parmigianas to $15 pints, can Australia still afford the pub? 4 months ago:
100% this. Property prices and business rents have destroyed the good life.
My childhood suburb had nearly 30 pubs and bars when I was 18. Nowadays, half the pubs have been bulldozed and overpriced apartments take their place.
Sad thing is with the size of apartments now, we need pub spaces to share with mates more than ever.

Too many yank flags and bald Eagles for me to take that website seriously
- Comment on Victoria to ban state school logos on shorts, pants, skirts and socks from next year 5 months ago:
Shop keepers, the old tram conductors, older dropout kids. All would treat you different if you were in a school uniform.
This may be depending on area but in Melbourne CBD, inner suburbs and bayside was like that whenever I was in uniform.
