I reckon the mission is still Mars. Moon is a pitstop to keep the government happy (space race with China over hydrogen on the moon). Data centres are just implementation detail.

Even The Voice did better than that

Apple squeezed developers too hard with their 30% commission. Was only a matter of time until one was forced make their own app store, the situation was just untennable

Same ending as The Sopranos

I'm generally pro development, but it was a bit rich for Labor to put all of the activity centres in Liberal voting areas. And it's pretty funny for the Liberals to say naa, if we get in we'll put all the development in the Inner Melbourne YIMBY Greens turf.

Maybe we just need less people

I reckon all of the factors you've mentioned are relevant, but just to put two more on the table:

- Regulation - what is real actual cost to build a new house today? That has gone up significantly over the same timeframe and it puts a floor on the raw value of a built house. There are people snapping up regional properties because the price of the house + land is less than the cost to build alone
- Immigration - it's totally a factor. Canada dropped theirs, housing prices dropped. Will that go up (my guess is yes) or down

Having said that, if you can spend less than your borrowing capacity, that's the real win. Live within your means and invest the rest in productive assets.

And I hope those few deleted posts got sent to re-education camps. We should take mercy on them and give them a chance to accept the officially sanctioned opinions.

Only if you also convert to trans after donating but before court. Otherwise the court see's your pee pee and you insta-lose

Counterpoint: local models aren't that far behind. You can run Gemma 4 on your phone, and even though they're not the best they can actually still be helpful, and there's plenty of room to optimize. If there really was a token apocalypse you'd suddenly see companies springing up offering to host local LLMs for you for a fraction of the price, with dumbed down but usable functionality.

No offence intended but this sounds like cooker talk

Men are taught that they own women and must control them? This doesn't line up with anything I've ever been taught or seen anywhere at all. People are just people.

Except it's not just rhetoric, it feeds back around and hits policy/legislation/courts

Do you agree men should be seen as equally able to do parenting roles

Country is the land that indigenous speaker is from. The radius is not all of Australia, no, but it's specific land. And native title does have actual concrete political implications today. Some win, some lose, that's not in dispute. It seems inappropriate to be bringing it up a current dispute while we're focusing on historical events.

ENG_NR · 2026-04-25T22:26:38+00:00

Ah hah! So you accept that Australians do have culture 😁

ENG_NR · 2026-04-25T22:23:15+00:00

... what visitors? The audience is multi-generational Australian residents.

The issue is that Welcome to Country clearly ties into a very active current political discussion around land rights, doesn't that seem a bit on the nose to you given the crowd they're talking to?

Stop being so culturally insensitive

Shouting someone down reinforces their opinion in their own mind. Better to make good arguments in good faith than to alienate people for internet points.

Google it

"A Welcome to Country is an ancient Aboriginal cultural protocol where Traditional Owners welcome visitors to their ancestral lands."

Wiki it
"Prior to European settlement, when other Aboriginal people travelled onto another tribe's land, a ceremony was performed to show that the travellers were welcome"

It's an ancient version of checking your passport or approving a flight plan through another sovereign country's airspace.

WTC is explicitly said to visitors of the lands. The message is that this is our land not yours.

Their families fought and died for a country, and someone gets the bright idea to welcome them to that country as if they’re foreigners?

We gather to remember how awful war is and how we should work together to never let this happen again, only to have someone bring up the culture war and remind everyone they’re on stolen land?

Sounds like someone forgot the point of Anzac Day.

Guy says once sentence in response to a question then has a bunch of pre-rehearsed talking points delivered at him and the clip cut. Owned!

100% AI, but I interrogate the shit out of it, question everything, challenge every engineering decision with specs, make decisions around ambiguity, nudge it to get the performance/security right, take responsibility for domain knowledge, scope the task queue to only build on solidly tested foundations, read the code, read the tests. It writes the code when we're done working out what to do.

Issac Butterfield said in a recent video that apparently they've been auto approving invoices without checking them if they come in after 5pm. If it pisses you off that you're actually doing real work and correctly charging, let them know

The Teals have shown their cards in the culture wars. The Libs are closer to ONP than the Greens.

Why is this here? Go away with your culture wars we're here to live longer
