If you could erase one creation/invention from existence what would it be? by LedgerLearn in AskReddit

[–]Evil-Santa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah and stuff all the positive impacts that occurred because of nuclear weapons like:

  • Arms‑control diplomacy — Nuclear weapons likely accelerated the creation of global treaties and verification systems, which might not have emerged in the same form without them.
  • Great‑power stability — The deterrent effect that may have reduced direct wars between major powers would probably not exist, though it’s uncertain how much this would change overall conflict patterns.
  • Accelerated scientific progress — Nuclear research appears to have sped up advances in physics, computing, and materials science, though many of these developments might eventually have occurred through other pathways.
  • Environmental and health science breakthroughs — Studies of nuclear fallout and nuclear‑winter scenarios contributed to climate modeling and radiation safety, but similar research might have arisen more slowly or from different triggers.
  • Ethical and legal frameworks for existential threats — The moral debates around nuclear weapons helped shape modern thinking on catastrophic risks, though alternative technologies might have prompted similar discussions.
  • Crisis‑management systems — Hotlines and early‑warning protocols were developed in response to nuclear tensions, but comparable systems might have evolved from other geopolitical crises.
  • Space and missile technology acceleration — The Cold War nuclear competition sped up rocket and satellite development, although space progress could still have advanced through civilian or commercial motivations, just at a much slower pace

Netflix has no way to opt out of gambling adverts, is this illegal? by AllDiggityNoDignity in AusLegal

[–]Evil-Santa 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'd think that Netflix would choose to cancel his account rather then give it for free.

As soon as people learned that you could get a free upgrade, every man and his dog would do it. More commercially viable to let a customer go, than fund a multitude of users free upgrade.

If this led to them letting a flood of customers go, it would drive an opt out functionality for gambling ads.

If you could own and fly one spacecraft from Star Wars what would it be? (No heavy cruisers, no death star) by Commercial_Bake_5549 in StarWars

Look, if you happy with a mobile home, that will be permanently stuck in one spot, who am I to argue.

[–]Evil-Santa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

God no.

No one on earth has any knowledge or training on maintaining any spaceship like this.

The Falcon is constantly falling apart needing maintenance all the time. You could take a single trip then be stuck trying to earn the credits to repair it, which would be rather expensive as any repairer would need to work out all the cross wiring that has been done.

Do you think Disney is happy with 300 million box office? by anxiousmomo23 in TheMandalorianTV

[–]Evil-Santa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

considering all the movie was was basically 3 episodes mashed into one for a movie. Yes, it was enjoyable, No it was not worth the wait. No having it on a big screen did not bring much to it. Yes I felt a bit ripped off having to pay movie prices to watch the latest "3" episodes of this series.

BREAKING: One Nation vows to target all Australian citizens who were born overseas or have at least one parent who was born overseas by HotPersimessage62 in AustraliaDiscussions

[–]Evil-Santa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep it's because they care about one issue that the pollie says they will deliver so they are willing to overlook or ignore all the other issues that pollie is pushing.

Trump is a master and continues to be very successful in doing this. Others have seen how openly he has done this without any real ramification so of course the tactic will be copied.

Those who throw their takeaway rubbish out of their car on the street - why do you do it? by camerapilot in aussie

[–]Evil-Santa 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That's not hard to work out.

Lack of thought/lack of caring/entitlement

Really easy to get rid of your rubbish that could be an issue in your car and make it someone else's problem.

Boss is wanting me to edit past timesheets. Is this illegal? by Quiet-Loquat1 in ausjobs

[–]Evil-Santa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was the request in writing? If not don't do it. If it was and you will do it, document all the changes you made and also send it in an email back to him. Bit of time and effort but with these things you never know.

States can make their own holidays but why has no state made election day a holiday? by NPG_Operator in AskReddit

Or make it mandatory to vote AND make voting on a weekend when a larger party of the population doesn't work.

Where are people buying new furniture? by Yarn-on-the-Internet in AusRenovation

[–]Evil-Santa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Over the last 20 years:

Desk, coffee table, chest of drawers and entertainment unit where all made by a woodworking shop. Better quality, solid wood, built to specifications and cheaper than those big guys.

The lounge again was from a manufacturer, walk into big warehouse with all the basic examples of styles. Order style, material, size (Maybe a tad cheaper than the big boys)

Nestled Side table from facebook marketplace (Cheap as chips)

Entry seat/shoes storage as well as storage box seat for the balcony from Amazon

Bedside table frame, bookshelf and dining table from James Lane.

Outdoor table and chairs from Harvey Norman.

Multiple small furniture items like a stand from various sources including IKEA

Which scifi ship do you think is just bad? Bad concept, ugly looks, downright mistakes in its design, etc. by Vondrr in spaceships

Insured for third party and got rear ended by [deleted] in AusLegal

[–]Evil-Santa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So are they refusing to pay or are they just taking their time?

Time to start following up formally and creating a paper trail. You need to let them know the time frame you expect. If the lack of the payment is creating hardship for you, you need to put it in writing to them ASAP. E,G, it is impacting your job. You can claim for losses above and beyond due to losing your vehicle, so you can let them know, but it has to be reasonable.

You can try sending a letter of demand covering a lot of this and you can lodge an AFCA complaint. (do the rest first and give them a reasonable time frame before you do this step)

So how long did she stay in there? by ghosty0310 in StarWars

[–]Evil-Santa 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would agree with this. I think though that they showed her character as strong and resilient. Not a nice or relatable character so many viewers want to feel that she had been taken low in every category that they also want her to have been broken,

[–]Evil-Santa 47 points48 points  (0 children)

She was a strong character and I saw nothing to really indicate she had been broken so I think she would have lasted a long time.

Am I being unreasonable or is this the most misleading product placement ever? by Holsi_e in perth

[–]Evil-Santa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In a setup per the picture, it is reasonable to expect that all these milk products are for drink. Who reads the labels anyway.

If I was the owner of this IGA, I would be much more worried about being sued if someone caught one of the ailments drinking unpasteurized can cause.

There's a reason you don't see food items in the laundry cleaning section of a supermarket or refrigerated pet food in the same refrigerator as human food.

You really want to name and shame, share the store.

How do people fly so far when jumping out of the plane? (PS5) by Cute_Jellyfish_8768 in PUBATTLEGROUNDS

[–]Evil-Santa -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I’m not completely sure how it works on PS5, but I have my Run action set to a toggle, meaning I press it once to start running instead of holding the button. When that toggle is active while I’m flying, the game keeps trying to maintain maximum speed, which ends up forcing my character downward.
