Actions of a few individuals do not define a nation. Are all Australians the romper stomper Asian haters of the 1990’s? No we are not. Or the people that hoarded toilet paper for their own gains, again no we are not. I was in China in December 2019 and there was an effort by many people to inform that there was a virus going around and that I should be extra careful. They did not do that for their benefit and many risked the embarassment of attempting to speak English to a foreigner. Then there were people trying to sell me a mask for 100 times inflated price for their own gain. People are people and some will take an opportunity even if it negatively affects others. Doesn’t mean everyone there is a cunt.

Only took the best of us to leave 🤣

My kids are in similar situation but now 12 and it is not about stopping access anymore but fostering good habits. I still have app type and time limits but they are clever and figure ways around but still ask me if they can do things. I think it works

Very down to earth people. Telling us they want to go outside in the summer so they won’t be working for a bit was a bit of a stab at us basement dwellers

Yeah it’s disheartening to hear good people being hurt by dodgy employers. Need to document everything but where is the incentive for a working holiday maker to fight federal agencies. Especially after they have left the country.

My own experience working in the nt was one of attempted exploitation but I knew my rights and wasn’t going to be deported so I choose to fight back. Very different story for someone who’s passport is of another nation.

Half of Australia are migrant’s or children of migrant and I believe that’s what makes this country great. Let’s hope this doesn’t scare of future Australians from moving here.

I’m with you; have fun and break some shit but don’t be a cunt.

So shouldn’t we attempt to stop it. Why rip off young people who just want to experience what life is like in the lucky country.

My area is one of these, we call it gods waiting room. We had to wait for someone to die to get us in

Too cold for batteries but just for kicks; 2Ah(3x3.7V)=22.2watts. Voyagers RTG’s left earth producing about 470watts so that powerbank with 3 x 18650’s would equal about 3 minutes. Not sure what the usage is though so maybe longer, plus the RTG’s power output fades over time so probably longer again.

Are electric tractors a thing yet?

No one needed a crystal ball to see this was going to happen

Anyone got non paywall

We are a lo g way from good cycling infrastructure here. There are a few well connected suburbs but most places its dangerous to be cycling on the roads because of the yank tanks

Build your own just for fun. That’s homelab style

Not sure why you got down voted because you are right. Most amazon workers are living in a late stage capitalist hell, not sipping lattes at 10.

But then I have to watch ads on my phone at work. YTP is just convenient. I hate it but it’s convenient.

I not going to pretend I understand patents but it looks like IBM just asked for an extension and got it

So we can catch crabs that are already cooked

Is it money? Seems like money. Like money is all the despair

That seemed wrong so I looked out up on Wikipedia and wholy shit it’s really only been 30 years. I wonder how many of my peers are products of legal rape. Wikipedia article with worldwide data
