10·5 days agoI wouldn’t bother engaging. They’re not commenting in good faith, they’re just trying to annoy us and waste our time.
6·5 days agoWow, I had missed that: https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-10-03/fat-bear-week-returns-2024/104319754
The competitors were due to be revealed on Monday, but were delayed after a deadly attack was caught on one of the park’s live feeds.
469, an adult male bear also known as Patches, was seen approaching an older female, 402 in the Brooks River on Monday.
He then attacked and killed her.
“National parks like Katmai protect not only the wonders of nature, but also the harsh realities,” park officials said in a statement after bear 402’s death.
“Each bear seen on the webcams is competing with others to survive.”
Mike Fritz, a resident naturalist at Explore.org which hosts the live stream, said 402 “likely died by drowning”.
“We love to celebrate the success of bears with full stomachs and ample body fat,” he said.
“But the ferocity of bears is real, the risks that they face are real, their lives can be hard and their deaths can be painful.”
Tucker and Dale vs Evil (2010) and The Cabin in the Woods (2012) (go in spoiler-free with this one) are both good comedy horror.

But even if it’s not cloudy, light pollution can also be an issue, so it might help to head further out of the city (see: https://darksitefinder.com/map/?i=/%234/-37.84/144.94)
Basically, if you can’t see the stars, you can’t see the aurora.
The only equipment that can help you ‘see’ it better would be taking a long exposure with a camera.
EDIT: Apparently you’re going to want to see some red on the map here: https://seetheaurora.com/live-data

I wish anyone at the ABC had the guts to publish a headline as accurate as that.
I would say ‘mods won’t like it’, but the sidebar for this comm doesn’t actually have any rules so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
It’s because we’ve hitched our wagon to the U.S. and we’re not allowed to say or do anything that’ll piss them off. It’ll only get worse with AUKUS, and arguably that’s the point of it - to lock us in to dependence and obedience to the U.S.
Labor and the Coalition have had a stronger response to this handful of flags and posters than they have to Israel killing 20,000+ kids.

This would do the opposite of calming tensions…

Unlike GURPS though, they probably didn’t have their offices raided by the FBI because the jackbooted thugs were too stupid to understand the difference between fiction and real life.
lol, I’d never heard about this: https://www.sjgames.com/gurps/Roleplayer/Roleplayer19/Raid.html
The agents who raided our office grumbled loudly in my presence about the “manual for computer crime” that we were publishing, but (aside from holding our hardware and text files) they have taken no further action against the book.
Penny Wong: “deeply concerned”

A cooperative is one way to start on that: https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-07-10/supermarket-alternative-co-ops-save-money/104078660
