“Infamous” - that means more than famous!
Interested in #science, #environment, #gaming, #auspol, #australia, and more. Currently moving away from corporate social media to exclusively ActivityPub networks - find me on Mastodon, Lemmy and Kbin.
“Infamous” - that means more than famous!
Is that a metric fucktonne or a freedom fuckton?
JFC, that took a turn. I hope you’re ok today.
Damn I forgot about the dropbears. Keep your wits about you and you’ll usually be OK, plus we teach kids to stay in pairs if they’re passing through a eucalyptus area.
As an Aussie, I can say the trope of “everything wants you dead” is highly overhyped. I’ve seen three venomous snakes in the wild in my life (and I’ve mostly lived in rural areas) and there’s a couple of venomous spiders, but none that will kill you (unless you’re very young, very old, or very sick). Blue-ringed octopuses, crocodiles and sharks exist, but rarely cause human deaths. You know what we don’t have? Bears. Alligators. Cougars. Wolves. Very few carnivores trying to eat humans here, it’s mostly creatures with excellent self-defense mechanisms.
Building Better Worlds.
My fav movie! The perfect blend of sci-fi, action, comedy, and fashion model catwalk.
I came here to make this comment. The Edenists, a genetic fork of humanity, have created sentient machines through biotech. Some of the large space habitats are grown with a layer of neural cells a metre thick - in a cylinder shell that may be 30km long, totalling cubic kilometers of brain matter. Super-intelligent space buildings.
Alita: Battle Angel. I’ve heard there is a sequel planned, but it’s been a few years since the first movie. James Cameron is still involved as a producer, but I guess his blue-skinned money machine has kept him busy lately.
And a towel.
R U Ok Spliffman1?
I came here looking to see if my point had already been made. Thanks!
In my experience, the job that HR excels at is creating and perpetuating the view that the company needs a HR dept. Generally, the most unneccesary people in an office are HR.
No I’m not. Kbin is part of both networks.
Kbin straddles both Lemmy and Mastodon 🙂
Regrettably, political parties are exempt from the DNC Register, even in Australia.
“Registered charities, educational institutions calling students, government bodies and registered political parties are exempt and are allowed to make telemarketing calls to numbers on the register”
Well actshually… Australia used to be run by right-wing nutjobs. The current mob in power are centrist nut jobs.
I refuse to pronounce it that way. But at least “kaysch” sounds better than “cash-ay”
I for one would welcome the shuttering of US miltary bases in Europe and around the world. Bring it on.
