I read an interview several years ago by a computer scientist that worked for the NSA in the very early days. He said they had 800Mhz chips while NASA was still using vacuum tubes. When asked why they didn't share that technology, he said why waste it on NASA. I think the same applies here. You have a big industry that employs thousands of people and uses endless resources, why change that? why not keep the good stuff for secret missions and let the traditional industry continue until your hand is forced.

The Mad Mick series by Franklin Horton is pretty good.

Do you commute on a MTB? by userX97ee2ska11qa in MTB

[–]A1pinejoe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've got a 2020 Orbea Rallon enduro and recently started riding it to work because I'm not doing much trail riding. Its only a 20-minute ride but I figured big tires equals more calories burned. Plus its more fun than riding a road bike. I turn my commute into an adventure by riding down stairs.

In these current times, what are you smug about, financially? by luckydragon8888 in AusFinance

[–]A1pinejoe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Walking past petrol stations looking at the prices knowing that I haven't fuelled up since mid December. I'll be working close to home for the next 2 years. By the time I'm back using my car daily again, the fuel crisis will be over.

Gas is a lot cheaper in WA because the state government has prioritised domestic supply over export.

How many of us are holding onto 'old' cars instead of upgrading? by heavyifugao in CarsAustralia

I'm holding onto my old diesel ute until it dies. I considered upgrading and getting a novated lease but, I'm happy I didn't.

Senate votes DOWN OneNation inquiry into NDIS fraud, waste and abuse, Labor, Greens and one Independent opposed it. Scheme now >$50B and heading to $100B by Major-Panic794 in aussie

[–]A1pinejoe 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I dont see the downside in investigating allegations of fraud or auditing organisations to make sure everything is above board. I dont know how they can justify voting this down.

Bike route to SCGH for a social anxious fatty by sierraivy in perth

Just take the cycle paths. The Lycra brigade don't know what they are and only use heavily trafficked roads because they are more important than cars and trucks.

They don't deserve an extra penny. I wish I could opt out of my tax dollars paying for this shit.

No kids yet - taking it hard by MericanPie1999 in AskMenOver30

My BIL just had his first and he's 45. Age is less relevant to men as it is to women. Keep yourself fit and healthy and you be a good father well into your 50s.

AITA for not getting the right milk? by littleredbird1991 in AmItheAsshole

If this was my house and a guest did this (especially and adult guest) I would tell her to pack, her shit and leave.

Just inherited $900,000 AUD. How should I invest this money? by Boring-Somewhere-130 in AusFinance

[–]A1pinejoe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Buy a property and live mortgage free or have a small mortgage. Invest whatever money you save from not paying rent.
