@NoticerNews I'm an English immigrant who came here 8 years ago and was always under the impression that Australia was a very white country that was super hard to get residency for. When I came here I realised I was very wrong. Australia is almost as bad as the UK is now.

@AnalyticaCamil1 Apparently when he wants to go fast he gets the police to shut down one of their highways so he can drive uninterrupted at speed.

The Sultan of Brunei spends a cartoonish amount of his country’s oil revenue (state-owned oil infrastructure IIRC) on the largest supercar collection in the world. Reader, it’s a largely jungle country with to my knowledge, no race tracks (not even on the grounds of the Royal Palace), and their income disparity rates look something like this.

Sucks to be you, mate. Nobody has the right to preserve their suburb exactly as it was when they bought their house in 1989. smh.com.au/national/nsw/i…

@ellymelly You know 2035 is still 10 years away from now, right? And you do realise that was the best case build time for the small scale reactors, right? FACTS.

Fact. If Australia had pursued and built nuclear energy to act as the bulk of the grid - with its stable, cheap, and high-output energy. And upgraded our original refineries inline with global standards. And ditched all of the voluntary 'climate-environment-carbon' fees that are added to our refineries. We would be producing domestic fuel CHEAPER THAN OUR ASIAN IMPORTS. Even WITH ridiculous union labour rates. That's how badly politicians betrayed this country.

AI is amazing. I am extremely pro-AI 1. It has lowered the barrier of entry for programmers, resulting in hundreds upon hundreds of slop applications vulnerable to everything. This is job security. 2. AI influencers keep saying AI is going to destroy cybersecurity. This is good. AI influencers don't understand the size and scope of cybersecurity, they think it's just smashing a keyboard and making cat noises. This makes people less likely to enter our field, making us more valuable, making us more money. It's job security. Keep telling people cybersecurity is dead. 3. It's given us a new area of research: AI security 4. It's made task automation easier with slop Python scripts. In summary, cybersecurity is dead. DO NOT try to work in this field. It's all over. Cybersecurity has been solved!

Pavlou is a national disgrace, as is BRS. They should both get in the bin.

Australia has fought and bled and died alongside the US in every war and one feckless Trump-deranged Labor government has damaged that relationship - hence Trump's callout today.

SpaceX, in an attempt to pull eyes from Artemis (good luck) just had a Raptor engine explode on the north test stand at McGregor! Whoa! Go big or go home, I guess! @NASASpaceflight | nsf.live/mcgregor

I love how this guy thinks "total land area" is the dominant variable in fuel consumption. Thanks for the laugh!

Lost over 400 followers on social media after I made a comment about the President of the United States and his posts on Truth Social The leader of a country (literally any country) writing "open the fuckin' strait, you crazy bastards, or you'll all be living in Hell" and "Praise be to Allah" when living in a predominantly Christian nation, on Easter Sunday, is genuinely hysterical. Like, imagine if Claudia Sheinbaum said that, or if Volodymyr Zelenskyy said that It made me audibly laugh out loud. I'm still laughing about it.

You can really tell America is winning this war when the president panic posts “open the fuckin’ strait, you crazy bastards” at 5 am on Easter Sunday along with an extension on their deadline

I regret to inform you that the U.S. NATO bases in Europe and The UK are the property of the U.S. By denying AIR SPACE access to our own property, the NATO partnership was rendered worthless. I regret that U.S. taxpayers pay protection for oil and gas shipments to UK and Europe.

I regret that some NATO allies are denying us access to our bases in their countries. I also regret that the US president threatened to invade and annex NATO countries. This ridiculous Trump policy is obviously negatively impacting our national security now. I hope both of these issues within NATO can be overcome soon.

Christina Koch was a firefighter at the South Pole at -111°F before she ever applied to be an astronaut. That was maybe the fourth most interesting line on her resume. She grew up in North Carolina, got three degrees from NC State, and her first real job was building deep-space instruments at NASA. Then she left for Antarctica. Spent three and a half years bouncing between the Arctic and Antarctic as a research scientist, including a full winter at the South Pole base. That means going months without sunlight or fresh food, with a crew of about 50 people and no way out until flights resume. While she was down there, she also joined the glacier search-and-rescue team. After coming back, she went to Johns Hopkins and built instruments for two NASA missions (one of them is still orbiting Jupiter right now). She figured out how to start a tiny vacuum pump that NASA designed for a future Mars rover. Johns Hopkins nominated it for their Invention of the Year in 2009. Then she went back to the field. More time in Antarctica and a stretch up in Greenland. A government research station in northern Alaska, near the top of the world. Then she ran another one in American Samoa, near the equator. In 2013, NASA selected her from 6,300 applicants. Eight people got in. Her first space mission was supposed to be a normal rotation on the International Space Station, but NASA extended it. She ended up staying 328 straight days and orbiting Earth 5,248 times, covering about 139 million miles (roughly 291 round trips to the Moon). Up there, she ran over 210 experiments, including tests of cancer drugs in zero gravity and 3D printers that can build structures close to human tissue. Six spacewalks, 42 hours floating outside the station. She learned Russian for the training. She flies supersonic jets. Right now, Koch is on Artemis II, heading for a flyby behind the far side of the Moon. The crew launched on April 1 and is on track to travel about 252,000 miles from Earth, which would break the all-time human distance record of 248,655 miles set by Apollo 13 in 1970. That record has stood for 56 years, and it was set during a disaster that nearly killed the crew. Fred Haise, one of the Apollo 13 astronauts, is 92 now. He told Koch: "I heard you're going to break our record." Nobody had left Earth's neighborhood since December 1972. Koch and her three crewmates are the first in 53 years, and they are coming home at about 25,000 mph. That is faster than any crewed spacecraft has ever come back through the atmosphere.
