By vice regal, not regal. It was the governor general that dismissed the Whitlam government, not the monarchy

Australia has free speech. Encryption is not banned. In what way do you think Australians have no bodily autonomy
A dictatorship requires a dictator. We definitely don’t have one of those.
I think people understand what SSTO stands for. People are talking about SSTO because in your title you claimed the four stage Saturn V was single-staged
Australian universities have sports. I suspect all universities have sports. The difference is outside the US sport is for the participants and is watched by the participants’ families. Our youth football doesn’t draw a crowd, people favour footy played by adults
Those Trinitron tubes were beautiful
And when you have to have everything on the one small screen, outlook gets buried and you miss notifications
Working from home I only miss notifications because I’m making coffee
By consuming very large amounts of informative media
If you wash a car it uses less fuel. Dirt makes cars less aerodynamic.
The big problem crop for water in California is almonds.
The big problem crop for water in Australia is cotton.
The big problem crop for water anywhere is not beef
If you live in a low humidity area you can cool with an evaporative cooler cheaper than with air con. Evaporative coolers consume quite a bit of water
How much of a prude must you be to think you need to censor the word tits?
If you want to accelerate a person to “fly high into the air” speed over a distance of a see saw’s arc is going to kill the person. There is no sweet spot
For stability of me, I have just left both running at factory settings. I tried upping the priority of one over the other when I was young and I don’t think it helped at all
He did come back (to tell his victim off for using his road or something)
The article describes a tool that grabs the data without admin privileges, but yes, there are methods used by current malware to escalate privileges.
I live in a reasonably good jurisdiction for cyclists. We have cycle paths, on road bike lanes (protected by a painted line), minimum spacing distances that drivers must follow
But still. There’s a sweeping ramp down from a major 80km/h road down to minor roads. The cycle lane takes that exit as it’s the main path to the city centre.
There’s one wide lane for cars and one three metre wide bike lane, the way the ramp curves puts the bike lane on the inside of the curve. An uncontrolled car, or one skidding out would go away from the cycle lane.
A driver managed to hit and kill a cyclist there, fled the scene and called emergency services hours later, giving the cyclist no chance of being rescued. He was fined. He was a pretty high income person so the fine was insignificant.
If a driver cannot keep control of their car in that situation, and is so irresponsible as to leave the scene and delay help for the victim they should not be allowed to drive.
This was reckless rather than deliberate, but people need to be prosecuted and severely punished if people are to learn that vulnerable road users should be given space
In Australia it’s a six week holiday for kids as it’s the summer holidays. From just before Christmas Eve to the end of January
It was wonderful.

I’m all for making Australia a republic, and thanks for that, I hadn’t heard that the dismissal was discussed by the Queen, but of course the GG could and can consult with the crown if they’re unsure of the correct path and the regent of the day is willing to take their call
