I think we're selling you the tech, it should be easy for you to cover the south

I just found this: https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-03-19/canada-snuck-past-trump-buy-jorn-defence-radar/105069292

TLDR: Australia wanted to sell our Jindalee over-the-horizon radar (JORN) to the US, then Trump happened, so now we're selling it to Canada

I wonder if she would have been treated differently if she had flown to BC and entered on the northern border

The giant breweries everywhere make low flavour beer as their aim is to make a product that won't offend anyone. That sort of beer is also cheap so it's more popular than more complex beers for both reasons (inoffensive and cheap)

I expect Newfoundland also Labrador, serving the beer drinkers in half a million people population, is higher quality than Molson-Coors, but even if they increased production it would be hard to keep the quality or meet the price of their competitor

Though in Australia we have regional beer and the giant east coast beers haven't squashed the smaller breweries in South Australia or Tasmania – and South Australia and Tasmania produce better beers than Queensland, New South Wales, and Victoria

IT worker in system analysis and design in the public service in Canberra, Australia.

There's no official policy though many of my co workers believe a lunch time drink is not allowed. I have often enjoyed a couple of glasses of wine or a beer at lunch, have never made a secret of it, and have never been told off or warned by anyone above me

KeePass doesn't rely on any third party, and if you choose to use a third party file storage to hold your password vault, it's encrypted

My workplace has finally gone to passphrases and 1 year password life, which is nice as it's a password I often need to type, so I'd rather 20 easy to type and memorise chars than 16 random

Australia has been running over the horizon radar for decades, I think Australia's role in this is providing expertise

From over-the-horizon radar on Wikipedia

Another early shortwave OTH system was built in Australia in the early 1960s. This consisted of several antennas positioned four wavelengths apart, allowing the system to use phase-shift beamforming to steer the direction of sensitivity and adjust it to cover Singapore, Calcutta, and the UK. This system consumed 25 miles (40 km) of electrical cable in the antenna array.[7]

Note that the UK is approximately antipodal to Australia

Australia's current OTH radars covers South East Asia, use half the transmit power of US OTH radar, and have longer range

That would be the other pole.

I hope this brings Canada and Australia closer together, but I think it's just because Australia has been running an over the horizon radar for decades (since the 1960s), and so we have experts on the technology

10C* charging isn't all that exceptional

But also charging a Tesla on a road trip takes ~15 minutes each couple of hundred kilometres, that's often not enough time to get a coffee and use a toilet; it's never long enough to get a meal.

On a thousand kilometre trip recently for a lunch break my partner would find a place to get lunch and order for themself and me while I waited in the car for it to become charged enough. I would generally get to the lunch place before food was served

Faster isn't much use until it's fast like filling a petrol tank

*10 times capacity – Charging rate 10 times faster in kilowatts than the battery capacity in kilowatt-hours

I have lemm.ee as my backup for when aussie.zone is down

For use like that you do need another login, just go to https://lemm.ee/ and make a login

There are browser scripts to copy your subscriptions from one instance login to another

Maybe. Sh is an unpopular uncommonly used shell, though many scripts are made sh compatible for wide compatibility

Since pixel phones started using one volume button + power for reboot and the other volume button + power for screenshot, I have so many random, useless screenshots

I monthly go into the gallery and delete all the screenshots to keep on top of them

Brake, not break

holding the bag

And not doing shit that tanks the stock price and sales.

Ok, so list the ones I can buy today

Thanks. It's been decades since my last bit of mainstream Catholic education
