This is not a problem that can be spread over 20 years. People are homeless NOW. They're hungry NOW. Hungry people don't stay hungry for long.
Already break-ins are at a point that normal people are ready to kill. They don't have 20 years to fix this shit; they will be eaten alive in their own homes before then and they will deserve it.
Do you know how many god damn houses I could build with 10 billion dollars?
SO MANY FUCKING HOUSES, BECAUSE THEY'D ALL BE WELL-BUILT APARTMENTS.
Why do I feel like this is somehow going to achieve somewhere between diddly squat and fuck-all?
I work in the bush. I'm well familiar with snakebite first aid, snake ID and all of the "Here's what NOT to do" etc.
There is something that nobody likes to talk about regarding snakes in Australia. If you get bitten on a limb and you know what to do, you'll probably be ok.
None of us like to talk about what happens if you get tagged on the torso, arse or head by a brown snake, taipan, rough scaled snake etc. The fact is, you are probably going to die.
Further still, I can follow all the right first aid advice if I am bitten on a limb: Pressure immobilization bandages, lay still, wait for help. If nobody knows exactly where I am, I could be waiting days for help. Again, I'm likely going to die. I do my best to communicate my movements but Australia is a big place, and emergency GPS devices often fail under canopy cover.
This is something that is ALWAYS in the back of my mind. I wear good quality snake gaiters, make a tonne of noise and keep my eyes peeled but when you are walking through thick undergrowth where you can't see the ground there's really not much you can do about it. It will be the one you don't see. Also lots of snakes climb trees, not just treesnakes - this is another thing most of us like to just ignore because otherwise we'd never go out in the field.
Between the plants and the animals it does sometimes feels like this country wants us dead.
How's the hog on him?
This is my personal favourite. Asking for sources in general conversation, and refusing to participate further in any discussion without them. Then it turns out their own sources are just links to some "journalist" opinion from a web site, written by a different human being without any sources.
The image that captures the one consistent truth of the internet. GG.
I'm starting to think Mr Musk might actually be a CIA asset. If he was doing this shit without signoff he'd turn up dead.
Which government? Do you imagine that the vast network of live-feed surveillance satellites run by the various arms of the US intelligence services and military is under the slightest control of the elected government?
2012 Toyota. Toyota T-Connect didn't become available until 2014.
It's also a paid service! It requires a sim card and a plan, and would have relied on the factory entertainment unit which I have removed.
I think you are mistaking 'black box' type data logging with an always-on internet connection phoning home with the ability to turn features on and off which is a more recent and far more sinister phenomenon.
My car is nowhere near that smart, and I don't pay any subscription fees so I doubt I'm rolling around Australia with a data connection that I don't know about.
But what have the Romans ever done for us?
