So many wrong answers to your question. It's simple - number "two" rhymes with "poo", leaving number one to be pee.

When I was 7, my family had a TRS-80 CoCo. This photo is bringing back memories, it's exactly what we had - a silver box with keyboard, and a joystick controller. I learned to program in BASIC, and we played (mostly) text-based games. It had a cartridge slot for ROMs, and we later got a 5.25" floppy disk. I would tap out lines of BASIC code from books or magazines, while my older brother was programming direct in Assembley code. A great family computer for the time.

'Listeria' is growing on me...

Gina doesn't. Australia's richest woman tried to get the National Gallery of Australia to remove her portrait from an exhibition by indigenous artist Vincent Namajira. Thankfully, the NGA refused and the nation laughed at her expense. Good times...

The frothing, uncritical comments from Musk stans on that video are insane. I hope they're mostly bots and don't represent real humans - nobody is acknowledging how impractical, unsafe, or illegal any of these moves are, nor how it's a just a stunt that will never reach real-world production or on-road use.

Indigenous Australians called this a woomera. Now, Woomera is the remote town in the South Australian outback where we launch rockets 🚀

+1 for Night's Dawn or anything written by Peter F. Hamilton. He is 100% our best living ScFi author, I have nearly every book he's written on my shelf. Night's Dawn trilogy is amazing, but is a daunting length - I usually recommended Fallen Dragon to introduce new readers to his work, as it's much more contained (a standalone novel) and is brilliant.

The Collapsium by Wil McCarthy is one of my top ten fav Sci Fi novels. Bloom was also good...

18mth old article. Any follow-up; did they actually expel the foreign troops, or was it all bluster?

Your being downvoted (by me at least) because I don't want more of america exporting its sick culture and bad attitudes to Australia. It's bad enough that every channel is chock-a-block with US crime dramas, and locally-made movies need to have an american lead to be considered for development. I want less american accents in my life, not more. Americans should stay in the shithole mess they created and work on fixing it, thank you very much.

Peter F. Hamilton's Greg Mandel trilogy - the titular character is a former psi-soldier turned mercenary. IIRC, candidate psi-soldiers are given a brain implant that squirts out psi juice on demand, and each soldier develops unique and unpredictable powers. Greg's was the ability to sense, control, or kill other nearby minds.

Cuba has been doing everything possible to get the best result for their people, literally for decades, and in the face of crippling US sanctions. 100% the US is trying to destabilise Cuba from within, in addition to their threatening rhetoric - THAT is why there should be no enemy embassy on soverign soil. These are not the actions of a friendly nation, but of the enemy. Why would Cuba want to negotiate with US terrorists who bomb and kill indiscrimately, and are never held accountable for their broken promises?

“The Australian government seems to be waltzing its way into a war between the United States and China, by allowing this country to become an outpost or bastion of the US military, and as a platform from which they will launch military force against China,” he says.

We need to kick these warmongering cunts out yesterday before we become collateral damage in their next illegal war.

He just means that was the amount of cash he had with him while emmigrating. Access to millions more as soon as he got himself setup.

Why does Havana allow the enemy to have an embassy on their soil?

USA won't honour anything, because they have none.
