Canberra actually - it’s an old dairy building that’s part of Duntroon (one of the original homesteads of the region but more well known for being where RMC/ADFA is). It pre dates Canberra by a good bit though since development of the city only really began to gain traction in the 1920s.
The oldest extant building is circa 1832, so ~192 years old - not much compared to some places but doing well for an Australian building.
And they all perfectly understand why those strict controls are necessary.
Coming from a country where no ID is required but everything still goes smoothly, I’m not sure strict ID controls actually are necessary.
For the last while I’ve been randomising the dictionary of 3 or 4 character words and running down the list until I find something I like the sound of and is available. If it’s a well populated username base I might need to drop back to a list of all permutations of a-z in that length and do the same.
Maybe I should try and convince someone to make a slip on thumb extension for use with modern phones
ZenFone 10, because it’s one of the now rare phones where you can still reach the whole screen with one hand.
You don’t necessarily have to have ejector seats - WW2 era bombers for example relied on the crew making their way to a hatch to bail out. Despite being a considerably lower chance of survival than modern systems (not helped by various positions having to crawl through narrow spaces to escape and/or find and put on their parachutes due to not having space to wear them during normal operation) the option of bailing out saved a large amount of people.
Baked beans on toast is my usual go to when I want something quick and minimal effort.
I would be reasonably confident in offline games running in 20 years if you bought the cartridges, if you bought the estore versions I would be significantly less confident.
Technically speaking, no one outside of college demonstration engines are burning hydrogen
Toyota has made various working prototype hydrogen combustion engines, so it’s not impossible these could end up in production in the nearish future (they’ve done a hydrogen version of at least the GR Yaris/Corolla engine, a V6, and a V8).
Yes. I picked a bunch of coal pieces up at Stockton beach once as a kid and took them home because coal was interesting - I tested burning at least one of those pieces in the wood fire that winter.
The majority of cars don’t have a warning for low oil levels, the sensor for that has historically been the owner checking the dipstick. Oil level sensors are becoming more common now as more models appear with them but are still not ubiquitous even in brand new cars.
The oil warning light in most cars is for low oil pressure, and if that one comes on it’s time to pull over immediately and hope you managed to turn the engine off in time to save the bearings.
There’s not really much need for swearing in most comments/posts I come across on lemmy/kbin, so I’m not surprised it’s uncommon.
I don’t see a problem with bringing out the occasional swear word for particular emphasis or humour, but when someone can’t write regular posts/comments without cursing it’s pretty likely they’re just a kid trying to be edgy on the internet.
I have my [email protected] for my primary after deciding to try and reduce my reliance on gmail, that can get good reactions.
I bought ymous.[tld] deliberately to have [email protected] as a functioning joke email for when places request one, though amusingly the reason I didn’t say which tld is that it’s not one which allows whois masking so it’s really not anonymous at all…
Probably should take into account people with learning disabilities and processing disorders
As an option, definitely. As a default though I too would prefer the standard spoken form if the time is going to be spoken rather than displayed. It’s a bit like how simplified wikipedia is a good idea but I prefer regular English to be the default version.
How pervasive surveillance and tracking of people (and their data) is in todays society. We’ve become accustomed to it but I’d bet people a century ago would be shocked at the idea of stuff like regular people being filmed from multiple angles when just going to the shops, having a device in their pocket constantly recording their location, receiving targeted advertising based on what information they’ve looked at previously, etc.
The pretty important context to this video is that the boy in question had allegedly just broken into the mayor’s house and he was waiting for the police (see here for a news article about the event).
There are obviously exceptions, hence why I said often instead of always. Think larger scale and/or involving fixed objects and cardinal directions tend to be logical, for example:
Install the equipment in the western plant room.
Please set up the workstation near the power point on the western wall of the room.
Come in via Foo Rd, when you get to the intersection with Bar Rd turn west.
My desk is in the south western corner of the office.
Walk west along the ridge from the carpark, then once you reach the giant boulder take the northern spur down to the river.
Yep - in the northern hemisphere a sundial shadow will move from west to east in a clockwise fashion; in the southern hemisphere it still goes west to east but does so moving anticlockwise.
Kangaroos are the clear winner in my experience, but we’ve also got possums and various parrots (e.g. sulphur crested cockatoos). Wombats too but they’re less common to see.
