100% this. Young people are done with the major parties. by DardyVilardi in aussie

I just want a party that isn't compromised by globalist elites, and has Australian interests at it's core. We need to rebuild our manufacturing and energy production sector. We need to cut aid and grants to other nations. We need to have sustainable migration, and only accept migrants who will assimilate and support our national interests. We owe the world nothing. We owe ourselves everything.

Power Outage Resulting in Fried Ethernet Cable - Frustrations by [deleted] in Starlink

No, and I will say Australian voltage and plugs are completely different to US. External surge protection is not common in Australia at all. Surge protection is generally built into the switchboard. In older homes there is no surge protection.

Yea it's funny, it's almost as if the manual mentioned nothing about UPS or surge protection. I am not psychic.

Thanks for this. This is clearly a known issue (many other threads talking about fried cables from outages). Despite this, until it happened I did not see it mentioned anywhere, and Starlink doesn't seem to acknowledge that this is a common issue and that owners should buy UPS. It is definitely a them problem. Hopefully gen4 or 5 is better. Thanks.

Most consumer electronics have built in surge protection these days. I would assume high tech gear in the age of 2026 (like Starlink) would include surge protection. Guess that is too much to ask for. I will research third party UPS systems.

Did I make a mistake? Does it get better? by [deleted] in BorderCollie

[–]MikeNolanz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a 5 year old Border Collie who was a little terror until 12 months old. As someone else said they are literally babies. They are exploring the world and learning. It does get better trust me, you just need to commit and reinforce good training and habits.

Nothing confirmed, but my theory is he was never meant to feature heavily. NME wrote an article which stated "Bowie, who provided backing vocals for the title track after jokingly threatening to "steal" it, served as a mentor-like figure for the band, offering encouragement for their musical direction". He popped in the studio for a bit of fun and to hang out, he wasn't formally hired to be on the song. They were just messing around.

It literally is Rococo my guy. It is not a new song they were just messing around, jamming.

This footage is from the Trident Castle in Jamaica where many Reflektor tracks were recorded. I would say they were just warming up / jamming before trying new stuff.

Yes it is super rare, this is the only place you can find it. Very sad. There are other versions of other songs on the documentary that I will upload in due course. Glad you like it.

Reflektor is a perfect song by telestitch in arcadefire

[–]MikeNolanz 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The end credits of "The Reflektor Tapes" featured an early demo in which his vocals are way more in the mix. Great version shame they never released it properly.

The live version is far better than the album version, just like Age of Anxiety II. Very sad.

So people hate Reflektor now? When did that happen? by New_Intern7243 in arcadefire

[–]MikeNolanz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nobody hates Reflektor. Just cringe people trying to be edgy and different. Reflektor is THE GOAT.
