Yeah, I can never quite tell with articles sometimes..
Among many elements of the story that absolutely fail to raise sympathy:
[...] They planned to subdivide their block into 26 lots once the land was rezoned as residential, live on one block and drip-feed two or three others on to the market each year.
...just what we need -- a drip-feed of low-density housing.
There's a bunch of non-obvious hazards which exist around cutting into containers which have held fuels, including but not limited to:
An empty propane container could have an gas+air mixture inside it in proportions which could explode.
Any liquid residue in an empty fuel container can be vapourised by the heat of the cutting, creating a fuel+air mix which can spontaneously explode from the pressure and heat, even without sparks (think: diesel engine principle but instead of a 0.25L cylinder it's a 200L cylinder).
An empty gas canister can be contaminated with heavier oils/waxes that could build up over the years of refilling cycles, creating the same hazard as noted for empty liquid fuel containers.
Methods to reduce the hazard include:
Thoroughly washing the inside of the container before cutting (access can be difficult though).
Filling with water and cutting while full of water. (Container musn't be sealed, and the cutting method must be safe to use in a wet environment, and further hazards such as introducing oxygen into the container need to be considered).
Huh. Even Boeing doesn't want to be associated with Boeing:
Boeing executives have repeatedly sought to make clear that the Starliner program operates independently from the company’s other units — including the commercial aircraft division that has been at the center of scandals for years.
I was all ready to rant about the problem of new developments being built before public transport infrastructure, but I checked the map and there are two railway lines in the vicinity!
Handy to have an offline translation dictionary. I've used QuickDic for languages I know how to type, but I notice there are a bunch of more specialised Japanese dictionary apps in F-Droid that can search by radical or OCR if you don't type or understand the characters.
In Australia you really only need a name and date of birth and ID such as a passport or driving license number of the owner. No physical or even photographic proof. Some phone companies send the original sim a notification before moving it, but no response is required and moving the number often only takes 10~30mins.
Banks in Australia commonly use sms codes as 2fa.
A large percentage (20~30%?) of adult Australians have had their ID details leaked in recent years because there are no adequately enforced security requirements or data-retention limits. One of the largest breaches was the second largest mobile phone provider...
Jojo Rabbit is a good one.
