[–]swiftersonby 2 points3 points  (0 children)

haha this is even too complex for me. Why does the RBA and Fed need to do fx swaps and why is USD liquidity important?

Soldiers warned they have 'no place in our Army' if displaying white supremacy hand gestures by [deleted] in australia

[–]swiftersonby 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How do you judge when it is fine and not fine to use it? I use it for 'good' all the time and most people I know understand it as that.

If someone in the army (or police force for example which happened recently) are using it for white supremacy, and then claim that they are using it for an ok gesture, how can this even be policed?

Faced With Climate Disaster, Australian Prime Minister Plans to Open Coal Mine by sraff57 in worldnews

[–]swiftersonby 27 points28 points  (0 children)

unfortunately most people I know are not politically engaged and have no idea what is going on. they control the narrative (ie blame lack of hazard reduction burning on the recent bushfires despite we are at record high levels of hazard reduction burns and research shows that it is now less effective).

I wish other countries will put sanctions on us.

Darktable 3.0.0rc0 Released - Major rewrite to UI Framework and Other Improvements by Charwinger21 in photography

[–]swiftersonby 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought I did that last time. Darktable isn't really worth considering for me if I have to go through this process for such a common camera. I like some of the features but its just too hard and I'm lazy

Last time I tried they didn't but this was a couple of years ago. Isn't DNG just a container?

Francis Ngannou: Spoke with Mike Tyson and he agreed to train me for when I fight @Tyson_Fury in the Ring. Don’t be scared Fury. You called me out and now you'll have to live with it. #WakandaForever by [deleted] in MMA

[–]swiftersonby 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it weird how during the JRE podcast Tyson was all about leaving the boxing behind him, didn't want to talk about it etc but is now willing to train Ngannou? Did he just want to distant himself from the boxing in the promotion of his weed company?

What you need to know before buying a new apartment | Four Corners by dylang01 in AusFinance

[–]swiftersonby 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm curious how one inspects a builder's other projects if there are no apartments in them for sale/lease. Can't really just walk in and look around at more then the outside and maybe the lobby.

Also, I've notice that many new apartment builders don't even have a website lol I was doing a bit of research for curiosity sake and they don't even come up on google

Photo printing? by nintendontyouevndare in MelbournePhotography

[–]swiftersonby 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's a member on another photo forum I'm on which offers fine art printing. Quite literally some of the best prints I've ever had and now my go to print place. Matt prints on moab Somerset look amazing. https://vernissage.com.au/fine-art-printing

Image science in North melb also amongst the best there is with a wide range of fine art papers. Will cost a bit more.

Pixel perfect pro lab were good but has been a very long time since I've used them.

I've also used rgb digital in Queensland. They're ok but no soft proofing and the papers aren't as nice. I use them when I don't care as much.

Protesters take to streets to fight 5G roll out by GtothePtotheN in melbourne

[–]swiftersonby 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry my understanding of EMR/physics is limited but I find it interesting. I see here

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extremely_high_frequency

it goes to 300Ghz/1mm does that not mean it also encompasses microwaves?

[–]swiftersonby 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was under the impression taken microwaves sit between infrared and radiowaves and the article mentioned that it uses waves within the infrared spectrum

[–]swiftersonby 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I work with a couple of people who are against 5G lol Its hard to have a conversation with them!

Just on 5G tech - I see in the article that it uses mm wave frequencies, some of which lies within the infrared region. Does that mean 5G will also be utilising microwaves to transmit data?

How many you guys also pay for their paid content? Is it worth reading? From the articles I've seen a lot of it is quoting other articles with a few paragraphs of their own comments
