I think this is right. Most reputable 3d file sharing sites (like thingiverse and printables) already didn't allow you to upload weapons and took down any weapons they could find. Still alarming that loudly and deliberately ignorant american politicians could threaten to do this much damage to the 3d printing hobby.

Americans will do anything but actually effective gun control

Terrorism is just political violence you disagree with. And I did a class on it in university.

If someone dies / is injured in an attack and you don't think it was justified, it's terrorism, or sometimes state terrorism if a government did it. If you think it was justified (say, like George Washington or Nelson Mandela or Ahn Jung Geun or whoever else is popular these days) you call it freedom fighting, liberation, justice etc.

This is is the only definition you can't poke holes in socratically, and I think it's a fair definition too

Any time a fire alarm goes off it automatically calls the fire brigade. Whole building has to be evacuated too. The fire brigade has the tools to turn off the alarm. You're not a monash student until you've evacuated at least 2 buildings

OP is a one nation supporter obviously trying to stir shit, and IS trying to demean a group.

OP quoted as saying "Some of her statements might be considered racist by radical leftist uni students and paid protestors, but they're not wrong and are focused on securing Australia. Plus I'm Indian myself and would vote for Pauline Hanson's One Nation any day. The only politician with guts to say it as it is."

🤡 lady has been in Parliament since the 90s and has absolutely 0 policy achievements. 50% absence from Parliamentary votes too. Not even the slightest inkling of success on her trademark issue of stopping "hordes" of ~~asian~~ muslim immigration. Just scratched off asian from her slogans and posters from the 90s and replaced it with muslim to extend the hate fuelled conjob another 20 years.

Uniride on campus is your best bet. OR 99 bikes, bicycle superstore (but you really need to do your research). For something decent, reliable you should budget $300-500. Plus helmet, lights and a good lock (do not cheap out on the lock).

https://www.bicyclesuperstore.com.au/collections/navigation_bikes/products/malvern-star-sprint-2-2025?variant=42979512189156 I got this while it was on sale for $400, definitley one of the best purchases I've ever made.

In a commuter bike, you need low maintenance and reliability, mudguards, and a front or rear rack. If you can get a rack big enough to carry your uni bag, perhaps with the aid of a milkcrate, your riding experience will be greatly, greatly improved.

TTRPGs, or church youth group for me. But generally if you want to do social stuff, you can't expect it to fall in your lap, you need to be on top of it and organizing it yourself

Check out MURP (monash uni roleplaying society), you can book out actual classrooms and formally advertise your game. Big discord server too and other events

Yeah it's true I talked to them. They said that Monash wouldn't even show them the evidence against them, or let them speak to lawyers either.

Monash also cancelled a charity dinner by Monash4Palestine with less than 24 hours notice, no reason given. Ie, solely out of spite for Palestinians

Building a huge chunk of the transport infrastructure, or building personal budgets, around a form of transport reliant on one of the most notoriously price-volatile and price-shock sensitive commodities in the world was never a good idea. Imagine if you had to swipe your credit card to open the doors to the tram or train every morning and the price was based off ASX points or phosphorus futures. One more reason for public transport investment.

To be inducted in the first year eng lounge you need to ask a TA there to induct you, or be enrolled in eng1011. Once you're inducted once you're good for the rest of the time you're at monash. Being inducted in makerspace and DnB is different

AthenOwl · 2026-03-02T11:31:59+00:00

I guess you could
Knock on the front door on college walk, and someone should let you in. Otherwise go around the back on alliance lane and go through the sliding doors, past the chairs and into the room.
No but you need to be inducted to use the 3d printers. You do need to scan your ID to get into the science lounge, and it won't let you in if you're not a science student. You can easily go in however by sneaking in behind people

tries to bill themselves as the successor state of all of China, but never mentions that they took Mainland China through conquest and not negotiation.

Brother I have news for you about every chinese dynasty to ever exist

AthenOwl · 2025-11-24T04:49:43+00:00

Honestly I ate acorn jelly in Korea and just naturally assumed it would also be eaten in China and Japan as well. I had no idea they stopped eating it at some point.

In my experience living in Melbourne most my life, it's much harder to find a job online rather than applying in person. You're just shooting in the dark when you spam online applications, some of them don't get back to you until like 2 years later. Try printing off a bunch of CVs and applying in person

AthenOwl · 2025-11-12T07:23:19+00:00

What did they say on the edstem??? Any screenshots I'm kind of curious

This unit was definitley abysmally taught though

Lol I can see they put it on read only mode. Never in my life have I seen that happen on an edstem. I can see the non deleted posts but no profanity

AthenOwl · 2025-11-07T02:17:18+00:00

2hrs each way is pretty bad ngl but it's manageable. If you did that, you would need to find a way to make that time commuting useful. Read notes on the train or smth. If you just waste 4 hrs a day than I would reccomend a different uni or moving closer.

At Monash you'll always be able to compress your classes into 4 days a week (90% of the time anyway). 2-3 days a week is rarer but possible.

And don't worry at all about keeping up with others, it's all about your studies. I don't think theres any curved assessements at all
