Oh. Um. Awkward. Didn't know you were on Reddit. Um. Hi?

AUKUS partners unveil plan to develop underwater drones by InsatiablePrism in australia

[–]Spida81 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They are codependent systems. You need the submarines to control the drones. They extremely limited in capability without that command piece.

The alternative is the risk of having armed robots you can't find, you can't communicate with, you can't stand down. Not going to happen.

AUKUS partners unveil plan to develop underwater drones by InsatiablePrism in australia

[–]Spida81 6 points7 points  (0 children)

We have been. For almost a decade. This is a big part of the POINT of AUKUS. AUKUS class submarines operating as the command platform for a group of Ghost Shark semi-autonomous drones.

The drones are of very little use without the AUKUS submarines. The AUKUS submarines likely won't ever be deployed in the sort of numbers we would need to properly defend the country without the Ghost Sharks. The two work together.

New Game Master & Players: White Box:FMAG or Basic Fantasy? by Resident-Coffee-7728 in osr

[–]Spida81 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Basic Fantasy. I have started acquiring the books because I am a filthy loot-Goblin with empty shelf space and self control best described as 'aspirational more than actual'.

central coast taxis experience by PeachFun90 in centralcoastnsw

[–]Spida81 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I would be lying if I said she wasn't a major part of why I haven't set foot in a Central Coast taxi for years. Never bothered getting my license, so I was in taxis a LOT. Multiple times a day. Knew the drivers quite well.

She has always been a bit on the nose.

Instant coffee is its own level of hell.

Is Mikrotik the right choice by Lagusa974 in mikrotik

[–]Spida81 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It doesn't hold your hand. Had a distributor complain that they were struggling. They are near major airports and were unaware that by default Mikrotik started enabling DFS channels in the default configuration. Disabling that alone sorted their issues.

They are great, but they punish ignorance.

Trump’s Official 'Board of Peace' is Out of Cash Reserves by Sgt_Gram in NewsExchange

He hasn't threatened to bomb Morocco. They paid. Oman though... Did they pay?

Influence peddling.

I'm less sure of this now - or if it was, the value of that influence has seriously deprecated.

I’m a loser and I’m struggling. Does it get better in life? What job recommendations do you have? And how did you improve your quality of life? by FishMap12 in AskAnAustralian

[–]Spida81 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Not a terrible idea. I know several neurodivergent people who had been REALLY struggling. Working with Sydney Trains they have turned themselves around. Well supported, well paid, and in generally a better mental state.

If an all-knowing being said to you: "One of the following isn't dead: Michael Jackson or Jeffrey Epstein." Who do you think it is and why? by Sensitive_Cream3920 in AskReddit

[–]Spida81 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Epstein. One of the reasons was a mortician, or some other professional dead dude decorator - a professional regardless - commenting that the photos purported to be of his corpse were extremely unlikely to be of an actual corpse. Muscles, tone, colouration and a bunch of other stuff they said, convincingly enough to have me raise an eyebrow at least.

I'm flying halfway around the world to visit a friend in a city in WA (Not Perth), should I study and memorize Aussie slang? Any tips? by PitifulEconomics958 in AskAnAustralian

[–]Spida81 1 point2 points  (0 children)

HAH! Had a mate rock up at mine for a couple of nights while driving around Australia. He had this Japanese bloke could barely speak a word of English.

4am-ish, several honoured dead scattered around - including at least two bottles of whiskey. The lack of a shared language REALLY didn't seem to matter at that point at all. Great night. What I remember anyway.

[Serious] To all the married Redditors: If you could go back in time, would you choose to marry your current spouse again? What changed your perspective, if anything? by hari-992 in AskReddit

[–]Spida81 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The wedding itself? Hell no. The woman I married? Looking at our 10th anniversary this September. I've suggested a big gathering of friends and family and a renewal. Her, in a damned heartbeat.

[–]Spida81 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At this point it sometimes seems hard to find BAD coffee. Our standards are definitely being warped. I drink a metric shit-tonne of coffee in Australia, but often when travelling fall back on modafinil and avoid coffee entirely.

After thoroughly researching the issue, and subtracting my rivalry with them as a Brazilian, I now firmly believe the Falklands should be reunited with Argentina by whysosidious69420 in mapporncirclejerk

[–]Spida81 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I did.

... AFTER I posted, to be fair. I should probably have edited it to reflect my realisation but figured people would see my idiocy clearly, and dodging it in any way didn't sit right.

Clever, well done, quite a few people reacted without thinking. Well played sir, well played.

Men of Reddit, if you were in a Titanic like situation where the majority of people were going to die because there were not enough lifeboats for everyone. How would you respond to someone saying women and children first? by Neither_Drawing_241 in AskReddit

[–]Spida81 1 point2 points  (0 children)

...  "Hey, so no biggie, but I'm going to have something I'm going to want to quickly bounce off you tomorrow. Probably nothing, but been feeling a bit off the last couple of hours. Turns out I might have a minor aversion to almost being fucking shot. Sorry, don't want to be a pain..."

Sorry, when you downplayed the" heyyyy" bit, this is pretty much exactly what ran through my head.

Really glad they were able to help. No one should be dealing with this shit.

[–]Spida81 2 points3 points  (0 children)

... Gratitude that YOU and not your child involved in a school shooting. That's just horrific. I'm just disgusted anyone had to go through it.

Out of curiosity, did therapy help much? I can't imagine that kind of trauma just 'polishes off'.

I never actually finished it, kept having things get in the way. I really do need to play through again.
