Don’t give a free pass to Beijing for its aggressive behaviour, researchers say
  • Actions of a few individuals do not define a nation. Are all Australians the romper stomper Asian haters of the 1990's? No we are not. Or the people that hoarded toilet paper for their own gains, again no we are not. I was in China in December 2019 and there was an effort by many people to inform that there was a virus going around and that I should be extra careful. They did not do that for their benefit and many risked the embarassment of attempting to speak English to a foreigner. Then there were people trying to sell me a mask for 100 times inflated price for their own gain. People are people and some will take an opportunity even if it negatively affects others. Doesn't mean everyone there is a cunt.

  • My kids are in similar situation but now 12 and it is not about stopping access anymore but fostering good habits. I still have app type and time limits but they are clever and figure ways around but still ask me if they can do things. I think it works

  • 'How are we going to escape?': Indonesian working holiday-makers say they were 'scammed'
  • Yeah it's disheartening to hear good people being hurt by dodgy employers. Need to document everything but where is the incentive for a working holiday maker to fight federal agencies. Especially after they have left the country.

    My own experience working in the nt was one of attempted exploitation but I knew my rights and wasn't going to be deported so I choose to fight back. Very different story for someone who's passport is of another nation.

    Half of Australia are migrant's or children of migrant and I believe that's what makes this country great. Let's hope this doesn't scare of future Australians from moving here.

  • NASA powers down science instrument to conserve Voyager 2 power supply
  • Too cold for batteries but just for kicks; 2Ah(3x3.7V)=22.2watts. Voyagers RTG's left earth producing about 470watts so that powerbank with 3 x 18650's would equal about 3 minutes. Not sure what the usage is though so maybe longer, plus the RTG's power output fades over time so probably longer again.

    Fires started in railway cabling have impacted up to 800,000 people across the French railway network on the eve of the Paris Olympics.

    France's high-speed rail network hit by arson attacks hours before Olympics ceremony

    "Train operator SNCF's chief executive, Jean-Pierre Farandou, said the attackers had started fires in "conduits carrying multiple (fibre-optic) cables" that carried "safety information for drivers" or control the motors for points."

    Seems this attack is becoming more common place. Used to just be the occasional tractor or digger damaging fibre but now it's seems to be intentional.
