You are correct but maybe I was too subtle. I was proposing most religions are cults.
- Comment on Teenage girl wearing jersey with Palestinian flag refused entry to Sydney A-League game 4 days ago:
Israel is a cult? A lot of people would agree with you regarding monotheistic religions.
- Comment on Melbourne goes from among the most to least expensive capital cities 5 days ago:
Shiny new iPhone i think he wrote 😉 It’s something I’ve noticed too. People buy the shiny phones, then the head phones, then the screen, the laptop, the glasses, the cloth; spending thousands of dollars in the process. Multiply that each year, as many do, and there is no savings. Nothing growing at all in their accounts. That growth long term can put a deposit on an apartment or a outer suburb house.
Smart kids get jobs in the field that give them free phones and sometimes cars. Bonus points if its a unionised position.
- Comment on Australian soldier fighting for Ukraine 'killed week before wedding' 3 weeks ago:
The title is misleading. He was not fighting for the Australian Defense Force or Australia. He is an Australian citizen who went to Ukraine to fight. No Australian soldier was killed.

we had electric water heater then too. Amazing how many of my mates bussed to my place after school just for a hot shower.

Furry muff. I’ll message molly with something about 80s tram tickets or something.

It’s going to come to effort. Do I create a lemmy.whatever account or do I verify? Verification isn’t guaranteed and making my own instance is above dad effort territory. Maybe someone will begin a kiwi hosted aussie.zone 😁😁 I appreciate all the effort you guys have gone too though.

I think they are probably hacking in to patch security threats on some of their most profitable assets.
Why hurt something you already control?

Thanks for keeping AZ running and keeping me entertained between bluey episodes.
Out of interest, when outage happened i noticed some sites don’t see AZ any more.

100% agree.
- Comment on Albanese invites Arab 'hypermarket' to compete with Coles and Woolworths 3 months 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 3 months 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 3 months 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 3 months ago:
Because it works
- Comment on Summer is coming. How long do you shower for? 4 months 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? 4 months 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? 4 months ago:
This is the problem. They should be mandated into the build. At least half the building is 3,4&5 bedroom apartments

Pretty much. Anything over 0 is too many apparently.

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.

- Comment on This Tiny Radio Lets Me Send Texts Without Wi-Fi or Cell Service 5 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.
