  • A bit but having googled 'sci fi classic authors' I can see many more I haven't picked up. I've been trying to catch up/keep up by listening to audiobooks but even then I find myself lacking time. At this moment It's Revelation Space. I bet if we had a much shorter working week reads rates would skyrocket.

  • I didn't read in school. I read sporadically as an adult, mostly science fiction. I completely dropped the ball during the pandemic when I got hooked on reddit. I think that, and working in tech has addled my brain. Now I just listen to audiobooks but it feels like cheating. The only books I look forward to buying.and reading is whatever Greg Egan puts out.

  • Just burn the world and be done with it.

    "I think currently the regulation allows for developers to build new properties with garages that are frankly just too narrow," Premier Peter Malinauskas told ABC Radio Adelaide.

    "You can't even fit a Hilux or a four-wheel drive in them and that just doesn't make sense given that's where such a significant proportion of the new sale car market in Australia comes from."

  • As I visit the city today (bus), I'm not sure how people tolerate the toxic transport pollution stench :(

    There must be some desensitising to it from a young age e.g. getting a car, getting used to the smell of petrol every time you fill the tank and so on. Not to mention a lot of folk probably work in similar or more caustic environments so there would be some rationalising going on too.

    Where we used to live in Sydney was a busy strip of cafes, restaurants, bars, pubs, many of which had outdoor seating and dining by the main road which was usually two to four lanes of busy traffic at most times of the day. You look at the shopfronts and signs, the footpaths and building facades and it's all covered in soot. Sure it's not building up that quickly but you only have to see it once and say to yourself, this is not a healthy environment, maybe all these people oriented places shouldn't be a on what's basically a highway. But nope, I never heard a word or complaint.

  • They can get pretty big so I think one would be enough to cause an injury. I assume this is the same for pelicans all over the world.

  • Thank you. This is a much better source.

    A series of lectures delivered by an Islamic preacher at a Sydney prayer centre must be removed from social media under orders from a Federal Court judge who found they contained "fundamentally racist and antisemitic" material.

    ...

    The court found the series of lectures conveyed "disparaging imputations" about Jewish people, based on race or ethnic origin, that were reasonably likely to offend, insult, humiliate and intimidate Jews in Australia.

    ...

    However, the judge found the "ordinary, reasonable listener" would not understand those things to be about Jewish people in general.

    ...

    Justice Stewart said he was satisfied Mr Haddad and the centre should be ordered to publish corrective notices on their social media accounts for 30 days, but will hear the parties further on the terms.

    He said the ECAJ's case had been "overwhelmingly successful" and there was no reason why Mr Haddad should not have to pay costs.

  • I can't find any other sources for this news. Admittedly I am out walking so I'm a bit distracted but still... Anyone else find anything about this?

  • Have you seen the crows in Brisbane? They'll school any bird about trawling through trash.

  • I keep meaning to get my eyes checked because any time I go shopping now I gotta pull out my phone, take a pic, zoom in on pic to read the ingredients for anything we haven't bought before (partner has allergies).

    I thought my eyes would be fine forever.

  • Australia’s consumer regulator is taking the owner of the popular Hawaiian Tropic and Banana Boat sunscreens to court over allegations they have misled consumers by claiming their products are “reef-friendly”.

  • That's not so far off from Pornhub's Year In Review 2024 that had the Linux share of the desktop space at 5.1%.

    Just sayin.
