Maths, physics and engineering yes.
Fairy tales nope.
Common sense left the room and the room is now filled with fools.
Staying for a bit to watch the chaos
Alleged intruder shot after stabbing couple during home invasion near Tenterfield- abc
Intruder deserve what he received.
My worry is the poor bugger who was stabbed if he will be charged with shooting the scum in self defence. Home invasion worst invasion of our privacy.
One of the few declassified IDF drone videos from high altitude over Gaza.
First 5-7 seconds: Watch Hamas rockets launching from right in the middle of civilian areas. The IDF then tracks the exact launch sites in real time and destroys them with precision strikes.
This is the reality behind the “indiscriminate bombing” lie.
Hamas hides among civilians, IDF targets the terrorists.
Share this. The truth needs to be seen. 🇮🇱
The Australian Sex Discrimination Commissioner previously was unable to answer if someone with XY chromosomes could change to XX chromosomes.
We'll look back at this time and shake our heads. These people have lost their minds

Just when you thought Anika Wells was a one off. That the Labor Party have far more moral clarity than they are given credit for.
Step up Michelle Rowland the countries Attorney-General who thought business flights from Sydney to Perth for a family holiday was a good idea.
The culture within @AustralianLabor is leacherous.
@goodfoodgal I will not be surprised when turbine blades are "sold" to overseas "recyclers" and shipped out to be dumped overboard in the Mariana Trench. Mark my words.
When it comes to electricity generation, Bowen is using accounting tricks to make his very expensive and rapidly failing plan look like the cheapest option.
It isn't.
Well done John Rolfe.
@Math_files In second step, ( 4 - 9 / 2 ) has a negative value.
By squaring it and then drawing a square root, the value is incorrectly made positive.
This operation is not correct. It looks fine but we're dealing with real numbers here.
The square root of -1 is i, an imaginary number.
@JEChalmers Congratulations Jim!
You have taken 1000's of jobs away from young people that started out in the work force, learning the ropes, and gave it to adult workers. They got that first job because there was an incentive for the employer. That incentive is now gone.

@scott_koning@shanaka86 And it does not even need a meteor. A misfired rocket, botched satellite release or a bad actor could create chaos.
If everything is controlled well it's all good. But how do we prevent an act of terrorism or war to destroy this network. We can't rely on it 100%. It's madness.
Tomorrow is Australia Day and I often wonder what Australia would be if the British did not come and form a delicate settlement on the other side of the world, here on the great southern land.
Would the land have been simply left un-colonised? Would it have remained an untamed wilderness? Without modern buildings, hospitals, places of worship, schools and skyscrapers. Without the iconic Sydney Harbour Bridge, MCG in Melbourne, Dreamworld on the Gold Coast, Perth Bell Tower, 2KW building in Adelaide, IXL buildings in Hobart, no Mindil Beach Sunset Markets in Darwin, and certainly no Parliament House in Canberra, old or new.
Would she have stood defiantly bridging the Pacific and Indian oceans. Withstood sail giving way to steam, and steam to diesel? As the world encroached, hungry for land and riches?
Would the various Indigenous tribes have moved past their storied and earthy culture and into the modern era?
Would they have stood against the tide of progress?
It is hard to imagine.
Whilst colonisation was not without its regrettable actions, and modern Australia not without its failings, the world and the forces that drive us tend toward order. Some nation, some Empire somewhere would indeed have claimed this land.
I am glad it was the Europeans, and specifically the British.
I do not dismiss the criticisms of some of the methods of the day. That was an era where people treated each other very differently and in most of the world. People were executed for things like petty theft. Ideas that today would have us recoil in shock.
It is not just to hold modern people responsible for the standards of the past. It is important that we do indeed remember those darker moments and ideas to ensure we don’t go backwards as a people.
We remember ANZAC day, not to glorify war, but to remind the next generation of its cost.
People in power often make mistakes, and they are rarely held accountable. Even to this day they are too often beyond accountability. But those of us that do not hold the reigns of power suffer the punishment for their actions.
Australia, for all its flaws and failings, has been a spectacular success. Drawn out from the red dirt, by the sheer will of a strong and resilient people. It was not the Governor who tamed the land and built the buildings.
Similarly, it is not the Prime Minister that digs the ore, mills the steel, shears the sheep and builds the homes that have built our modern Australia.
On Australia Day, we do not celebrate the deeds and misdeeds of the few in leadership, but the works of our fellow Australian; be they Indigenous, British settlers, European immigrants and those from other parts of the world that have chosen Australia as their nation.
We celebrate each other, and our contributions, and we celebrate our vast and untapped potential, here on this great southern land.
We celebrate home.
The seeds of our modern Australia were sown on the 26th of January 1788.
So, we celebrate together on that day. I remember a time when that celebration was all but universal. It must be again.
Long may we have cause to love our home.
I just want Australia back.
