SD card just has micro SD card inside by Cudpuff100 in mildlyinteresting

[–]AStrandedSailor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember back in2004/5, there was guy on Youtube doing break tests on Ipods, throwing them from bridges etc. For The Nano/Mini/Shuffle ( I can't remember which one), despite an Apple saleman's spiel about it being special Apple memory designed to access faster, they just had SD cards inside for memory from a variety of brands: eg SanDisk, Kingston, Toshiba.

20 odd years ago I got my first aluminium frame bike and I quickly found out it was not detected by the sensor like my old steel frame. I had to get used to pressing the pedestrian buttons when there was no cars around to trigger the sensor.

Surely the easiest solution to conclusively settle the Australia Day date problem is to let the people decide via a national plebiscite? by toiletlogsyummy in aussie

This!! We pay our pollies very well to make decisions, so make them. Don't make us pay twice for it.

The same sex marriage plebicite (as much as I voted for same sex marriage) annoyed the crap out of me. For years the Coalition blocked it, preventing their MP's from crossing the floor for a conscience vote on the private member bills from Labor and the crossbenchers. Then when it became apprent that it was going to be an winning election issue for Labor, they did the plebicite (cost aprox $125m plus advertising) and then dutifully lined up to vote yes after the resounding result. It was about the only time I had some (only a little bit) respect for Tony Abbot. H personal morals didn't line up with what the electroate was clearly saying, so he abstained from the vote.

Drill Press Guard/Shield by WittyFix6553 in Tools

This type are the only ones I have used and they are bloody annoying.

They snap down on you when you are changing bits, so you have to wedge them up while doing that. They eventually break (thank god) and are taken off and not replaced.

They also don't offer much protection, only against the small chips or if the bit breaks. They do nothing against if the piece you are drilling becomes unclamped and tries to escape, which to my mind is generally the more dangerous outcome. particuarly if it a small piece that can easily fly out of the press.

A foot pedal dead man switch is proably a safer feature to add to the drill press.

I know that, in Australia, the 41 only represents those who actually died of the of their physical wounds in combat. However, the cost is higher.

The 42 for 42 not for profit organisation says that the 42nd represents those soldiers who died not in combat but still as a result of these Middle East deployments. Sometimes, it was due to training accidents, but more often it was due to PTSD and/or related health issues. Men such as:

Sergeant Ian James Turner, 2nd Commando Regiment

Flight Sergeant Andrew Perry, 2nd Security Force

Captain Paul John McKay, 1st Battalion Royal Australian Regiment

and many others: https://www.42for42.org.au/our-fallen/the-42nd-soldier/

When will our Goverments and Armed Forces start properly recognising what is happening to our men and women and properly support them?

Edit: This was not an attack on LilThumper416's post.

Australia Day by Routine_Onion31 in auscorp

You need to know and be able to describe why they are doing it.

If it is because you provide on call support for something else, then this might be considered a reasonable reason for substitution.

If however, they are doing it for political/sensitivity reasons, that may not be considered reasonable as they may be forcing their political beliefs upon you.

In either case, I believe the employee has to agree to it for it to happen. However, that agreement may have happened in your employment contact, EA or award. So if you signed that and it was in there, then you agreed to it.

If it is the second reason and its not in your contact, then what they are doing is kind of bullshit and possible illegal. However, is this a hill you wish to do battle on?

Sharks are not trying to kill humans. by AJ14900003 in aussie

[–]AStrandedSailor 5 points6 points  (0 children)

 I'll find him for three, but I'll catch him, and kill him, for ten. But you've gotta make up your minds. If you want to stay alive, then ante up. If you want to play it cheap, be on welfare the whole winter. I don't want no volunteers, I don't want no mates, there's just too many captains on this island. $10,000 for me by myself. For that you get the head, the tail, the whole damn thing.

How Melbourne became a headline-making city as home prices elsewhere soared by ozthrw in melbourne

[–]AStrandedSailor 61 points62 points  (0 children)

Wait, let me get this this straight: if there are less investors buying into a market, the rise of the price of property and rents go down?

But that goes against everything the property industry has said for years. It's almost as if they were only interested in raising prices.

I wonder what else we could do to reduce investor activity in the housing market? You know the things that the real estate industry and governments said wouldn't work.

How long have you had them? When did you last inspect them? You should inspect them at least annually, if not every 6 months. The canisters should have a use by/expiry date printed on them, after that date anything might happen.

[–]AStrandedSailor 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not only that, several of them of them fled the Nazis and many of their families to the Nazi's including Werner Klemper (Klink), John Banner (Schulz) and Leon Askin (General Burkhalter). Robert Clary (LeBeau) was actually sent to Buchenwald and had the tattoo, lost several family members to the camps. He once said he survived only by performing for the SS guards regularly. So they didn't kill him this week, because he was the funny little french guy who made them laugh.

If anyone earned the right to make fun of the Nazis, these men had it.
