About this location
Want to get a real sense of the vastness of the outback? Head up to the Mundi Mundi Lookout for a view over the seemingly endless Mundi Mundi Plains. It’s a sealed road all the way to the lookout, just a five-minute drive south of Silverton (or half an hour north of Broken Hill). But once you’re there, looking out to a horizon so distant that you can see the curvature of the planet, you could be at the ends of the earth. It’s easy to see why the plains inspired the filmmaker George Miller, who used them for the setting of his post-apocalyptic 1981 movie, Mad Max 2. Take a picnic, look out for wildlife including emus, kangaroos and eagles, and soak up an incredible sunset.

they could claim that you can see a vehicle approach from over the horizon and that would be the only way to get the idea of curvature.

I don’t know much about bridges and ships. OTOH it doesn’t surprise me at all that something with a mass of 100000000 kg moving at 5 m/s could destroy a bridge of these dimensions. I’m seeing a lot of stuff on line about how the collapse indicates poor maintenance, but I don’t think bridges are designed to withstand such a barrage.

It checks bridges for robustness.
That bridge failed that test.
Next time have a tug, they push heavy things away from pylons.
Tugboats. Very handy.
Why wasn’t it assigned one?
Anyone can see that a tugboat would have kept the ship away from the pylons.

Tugs are expensive. They’re hired to shipping lines by tugboat operators/companies.
Once needed by every ship, they’re not so ubiquitously required these days. With bow- and stern-thruster propellors, variable pitch main propellors, and propulsion units that can be rotated 360 deg, even large ships are vastly more manoeuvrable than ships of decades past, and often manage quite well without much, or any, assistance from tugs. In the hands of a skilled captain, a large ship can often berth and depart with a lot less fuss, time, and expense than if they were to use tugs.

In the case of the bridge collapse in Hobart the supports were designed as such but the ship wandered out of the shipping lane and hit an upright that was not designed to be hit at all.

We do wonder why they don’t have more foot / knee operated faucets and doors set up in all these places, not buying any “accessibility” excuse since it’s shock horror a reasonable adjustment in itself.
We mean one day when computers are a thing and someone invents 爱 that can do voice recognition, they might even be able to use that to operate the faucets and doors … maybe in a few hundred years or so.
Public toilets at Rainbow Beach have no-touch taps, and unisex disabled toilets, and an open walkway (no doors) between the toilets and the handwashing facilities. The Woolworths shopping centre in Gympie also has no-touch taps, no-touch soap dispensers and a dog-leg, no-door entrance.

I mean logically, one line of restaurants along the road with their signage visible, one long carpark along the back with one entry/exit at either end. Nuch more efficient land use.

Two years later, he transferred to the University of Pennsylvania, an Ivy League university in Philadelphia, where he earned two degrees, a Bachelor of Arts in physics, and a Bachelor of Science degree in economics from the university’s Wharton School. Although Musk has said that he earned the degrees in 1995, the University of Pennsylvania did not award them until 1997. He reportedly hosted large, ticketed house parties to help pay for tuition, and wrote a business plan for an electronic book-scanning service similar to Google Books.
In 1994, Musk held two internships in Silicon Valley: one at energy storage startup Pinnacle Research Institute, which investigated electrolytic ultracapacitors for energy storage, and another at Palo Alto–based startup Rocket Science Games. In 1995, he was accepted to a PhD program in materials science at Stanford University. Wiki

The Tasman Bridge disaster occurred on the evening of 5 January 1975, in Hobart, the capital city of Australia’s island state of Tasmania, when the bulk carrier Lake Illawarra, travelling up the Derwent River, collided with several pylons of the Tasman Bridge and caused a large section of the bridge deck to collapse onto the ship and into the river below.

The Bell Rock Lighthouse
The Bell Lighthouse was built around 1811 by Robert Louis Stevenson and was seemingly the inspiration
for his novel Treasure Island. On dark and stormy nights they would switch off the light and wait for a ship
to crash on the rocks, then steal its treasure.
The Lighthouse stands 11 miles east of the Firth of Tay and was built at an angle of 11 degrees. This was
mainly to suit the first lighthouse keeper, an 11 year old boy called Jim Hawkins, who had one leg 11
inches shorter than the other.
The lighthouse stands an impressive 35mts tall and its light can be seen from 35 miles inland. It fact it is
so bright that the residents of Arbroath can switch their house lights on and off every 5 seconds with no
notable difference to the brightness in the room. The north windows in the structure are ideal for looking
at the stars whilst the south windows are perfect for vomiting out of. The structure has also been cleverly
designed so that on a sunny day it acts as a perfect sundial when viewed at a height of 11 thousand feet.
The more you know.

ANZAC Day is something that people have seized on as ‘iconic’.
There’s a lot of people in Australia who feel that there’s something missing from their lives. Some occasion, or event, which clearly represents both a national challenge and a national unification, in which they can take part, and from which they can emerge with a confidence in themselves and in the country. A part of history, to which they can point, and say ‘i was involved in that, and we faced up to it, and came through it’.
They cast about to identify what would fit the bill, and the most readily identifiable examples, with a vast amount of documentation and hype to back them up, are the World Wars. WW2, in particular, presents to them as an existential crisis for Australia, which demanded extraordinary efforts and great sacrifice of nation and people, with anyone who contributed to the effort in a great or small way deserving of the respect of those who came after.
They latch on to the military exploits and ‘tradition’ of Australia in a vicarious way, knowing that, whether by careful diplomacy or (more likely) by historical accident, that most of them won’t be called on in their lifetimes to make similar sacrifices.
So, they try to fill the empty space in their psyche, and to atone in some way for being born at ‘the wrong time’ which denied them the chance to write their own page in the ledger. This takes the form of canonising servicemen and servicewomen of decades past as being heroes, one and all, of wrapping themselves in the flag (literally, in some cases) to try to absorb some sort of patriotic warmth from it, and investing in every gimmick and gee-gaw that comes along with ‘ANZAC’ printed on it.
This isn’t to say that the people who did what was required of them in all of the wars shouldn’t be remembered. They certainly should be. But, the fact that governments create situations where they called on their populations to do such things should be remembered, too, and given mention, and despised.
I’ve known people who were in WW2, Korea, Malaya, Vietnam, Timor, and Afghanistan. There was some who readily admitted that it was the biggest adventure of their lives. A Korean veteran (a New Zealander) said that he was terrified, but never felt so much alive before or since his time in Korea.
For most of them, however, once the reality of it had been seen and felt, would rather have been anywhere else. A WW2 veteran said ‘There was no saints among us, bloody few heroes, even fewer live ones, every last one of us was shit-scared, and anyone who says they weren’t is a bloody liar’.

Robert Stevenson designed and built the lighthouse (which doesn’t lean but was commissioned into service in 1811). The designer-builder was the grandfather of Robert Louis Stevenson.

Born female, the customer grew up as Jane in a Cleveland orphanage. Superior in intellect and physical strength but plain in appearance, Jane suffered as an unloved outcast and was never adopted. These qualities, however, led a man named Robertson to recruit her for SpaceCorp, a space flight organization seeking young women as R&R companions—sex partners—for male astronauts. During Jane’s aptitude testing, a physical examination revealed an undiscovered, disqualifying medical condition. Keeping this a secret, Robertson rejected Jane under a pretense while promising to re-enlist her.
In 1963, Jane fell in love with a man by a chance encounter, briefly finding happiness before the man deserted her one day. Robertson finally revealed to Jane that SpaceCorp was a front to recruit elite operatives with no family ties for a secret government agency, but Jane became disqualified again due to being pregnant by her lover. While performing a Caesarean section, doctors discovered Jane was intersex. As a result of a forced hysterectomy due to birth complications, Jane underwent gender reassignment through a series of extensive surgeries. Amidst all this, her baby was abducted by an unidentified man. Resenting her lover for ruining her life, Jane adopted the name John and eventually relocated to New York City.

At least that’s the meaning I assign to those words.
Whether Mr. Williamson meant them that way, I cannot say.

I’ve long been of the opinion that oysters are a case of ‘the emperor’s new clothes’.
I have never eaten a raw oyster that was at all enjoyable. I’m not saying that they’re inedible, and couldn’t be eaten in a survival situation. But, the same can be said of many small creatures which we would rather avoid as parts of our regular diet.
Like brushing your teeth, no matter which way you do it, ‘the experts’ will tell you that you’re doing it wrong. Swallow the thing in one gulp, and the aficionados will say, no, you should chew it a little. Chew it a little, and they say, no, gulp it down. Whatever technique is recommended, it always equates to eating cold snot.I think that no-one actually likes oysters, but no-one will admit it, as it would suggest that they’re not ‘cultured’ enough to appreciate such a ‘delicacy’.
Perhaps one day, the headline item on all news services will be ‘OYSTERS ARE KACK, AND IT’S OK TO SAY SO’, and then the whole ridiculous facade will crumble.

The high price is the motive behind the plot. By convincing people that they should pretend to like oysters, and that oysters are appreciated by people of taste and refinement, you can demand a high price from those who wish to display their sophistication.

Some years back, we went to a beach in a National Park in Qld.
It was a bit of a roughish road, but not all that daunting.
We got there without any trouble, and pulled into a parking with a number of 4WD vehicles in it. Snorkels, and jacked up suspensions, and enormous tyres, and stuff like that. Their owners were leaning against their vehicles, having a beer and talking amongst themselves.
They seemed a bit surprised by our arrival, but didn’t say anything to us.
Later, we learned that the road was ‘4WD only’. And we had arrived in a 1985 Toyota Corona sedan.

Ha! I did that, too. Drove up roughish roads frequented by 4WD types. And also in my 1985 Toyota Corona sedan, which is – even now, sitting in my carport.
Sadly, the car isn’t used any more. Blew the water pump and decided it wasn’t economical to fix it.
So why am I hanging onto it, you may ask?
Because in a house and associated carport where there’s not much storage, a large locked box (aka said Corona) comes in handy for keeping bits and pieces, largely, secure.

I was on a bus in Aberdeen a while ago and overheard a couple of Aberdonian women a few seats ahead of me talking, both in thick Aberdonian accents:
AW1: I keep hearing about Aberdeen accents. I’ve lived here all my life, and I’ve never heard it.

While that sort of vehicle may be quite satisfactory for Brits with aspirations to an appearance of landed gentry or adventurers (although constantly nagged by their conscience, ‘is the Range Rover justified?’), it would never do for any self-respecting American, as they have a wide range of much larger civilian assault vehicles from which to choose.

Not in Saudi Arabia.
There the middle lane is the slow lane, the outer lane is the fast lane, and the inner lane is the overtaking lane.
Including in areas where there are slip roads merging.
That’s how it was in early 80’s anyway.

The phrase ‘make it so’ is in genuine use.
It’s a phrase used in naval parlance when it’s up to the person in charge to decide that a particular event is occurring, or should occur.
A daily example is at the flag-raising ceremony of ‘colours’ in warships in harbour and in shore establishments.
The quartermaster advises the officer of the day that it’s ‘eight o’clock, sir’. To which the OOD replies ‘make it so’. The QM then pipes the ‘still’ and the ensign is raised.
It dates back to the days of sail and ‘exploration’ when time aboard the ship in a foreign locale was a matter determined by the ship’s own resources, most likely an hourglass, the prompt turning of which was a highly important thing for navigational purposes. It was recognised that some error would, inevitably, creep into those measurements, and that ship’s time might show some variation from precise local time.
So, when the QM announced that it was ‘eight o’clock, sir’, he meant that it was 08:00 as determined by the ship’s own facilities. The officer replied ‘make it so’, signifying that that moment was officially a point in time from which entries in the ship’s log, the ship’s movements and activities, and other events could be measured.

You can use these traffic light behaviour management templates to create your own personalised traffic light behaviour cards. There are two options. You can download the templates with the emotions on them e.g. happy, fine and sad. Or, you can download them with nothing on them to create from scratch.
You could include examples of each behaviour on the cards. For example, on the green/happy card, you could put things like “Listening to the teacher and other students”. On the orange/fine card, you could write things like “not listening to the teacher” or “talking over people”. On the red/sad card, you could write bad behaviour like “very disruptive” or “being aggressive”. Make sure you write them out in a way that the children can understand them.
On the cards, you can also write down privileges. For example, on the green card you could write things like TV, snacks, games and electronic tablet. On the yellow card, you could take some of those privileges away, so you’d be left with snacks and games. On the red card, you could take more privileges away so that they just get their normal meals but nothing else.
These cards are editable, so you can write whatever you want on them to help your child, whether it’s for school or for home.

Ooh I know this one. Lower angle accuracy is required since you can tell what hour it is even with a 12 degree error, whereas even a 6 degree error in your estimate of the minute hand position will lead to incorrect information.

It was added to their Constitution in 1791, when everyone was shit-scared that the British might come back (which, to be fair, they did, in the War of 1812).
At that time, (1791) the US government was in a funny situation, where it couldn’t raise a lot of money itself and depended on the various states to chip in to meet a lot of its expenses. There was no way it could afford to maintain a standing army or significant naval forces, even if the idea of those forces hadn’t been anathema to the states, which saw in them the potential for the Federal government to interfere in the boondoggling and racketeering that a lot of the state leaders and legislators were involved in.So, the idea of having a citizenry with weapons, who could be called on for wars, made sense. No dreadful standing army, no expense to any government, state or federal.
Thus, the Second Amendment.

I did something similar a few years ago.
There was a large leak from a water main that ran down an arterial road in western Toowoomba.
It went on for some days, quite beyond a reasonable time to take action.
So, i sent an e-mail to the Regional Council, suggesting that the name of the one of the two creeks through the town would have to be changed from West Creek to Central Creek, as it seemed that the new, and apparenty permanent, flow of water in the western area had better claim to the name of ‘West Creek’.
There reply was that, interesting as my suggestion was, it was really a matter for the Geographical Names Board, but they would see what could be done about that flow of water. (I heard from someone in Council that the suggestion caused some amusement, too.)
It was repaired a day or so later.

Why didn’t you check that the water company knew of the leak first thing? I did this easy not 2 months ago and sure enough online the problem was listed so I knew at least i’d done my bit.

Given that it was on an arterial road, which was then part of the Warrego Highway, with that spot being passed by thousands of vehicles every day, including Council vehicles, and the site of the leak was at a significant intersection, so thousands more vehicles going ‘the other way’ each day (doubtless including some Council vehicles) had to drive across the water flowing from the leak, and the water was flowing past a number of both business and residential properties, i felt fairly confident that Council had some intimation of the existence of the leak, but seemed to be in no hurry to do anything about it.
Which, given that our water-supply dam levels were at less than 30% at the time, seemed to be rather remiss of them.

In the case of Mt St Helens in 1980, the top vent was firmly plugged with solidified lava. Before the eruption, the side of the mountain swelled out sideways 120 metres, at 1.5 – 2 metres per day. Despite this horrifying and quite atypical behaviour of rock on the side of the mountain, the geologist observing the volcano still assumed the eruption was going to be vertical. He was quite wrong and claimed a Darwin Award.

420, 4:20 or 4/20 (pronounced four-twenty) is cannabis culture slang for marijuana and hashish consumption, especially smoking around the time 4:20 pm (16:20). It also refers to cannabis-oriented celebrations that take place annually on April 20 (4/20 in U.S. date form).

i have done some test runs with my rope-making machine, and tabulated the ‘shrinkage’ involved in winding three strands tight, and then laying them up into a three-stranded cord/rope.
I have yet to test with 4mm strands at the start (which should produce a nice, neat rope of about 8mm in diameter), but tests on two kinds of 2mm dia. cord, a 3mm dia. cord, and simple, thin cotton twine have produced remarkably similar results (33% – 36% reduction from ‘starting’ length to ‘finished product length), averaging out at 34% reduction in length.
This will allow me to compute the economics of any sales of finished cordage, indicating that, to produce saleable 10 metre lengths, three strands of the ‘raw material’ cordage, each of 15 metres, will be required. This means that a reel of 100 metres of ‘raw material’ cordage will produce two saleable lengths.
This is doable.

It’s a niche market, to be sure, but it exists.
There’s branches of the International Guild of Knot Tyers (it’s a real thing, https://igkt.net) in Australia, and find the kind of cordage that’s best suited to projects can be difficult.
There’s maybe two sellers in Australia on the internet, and i could give it a shot, possibly be competitive. If it doesn’t work out, that’s ok, i’m not depending on it for a livelihood.

Gold plating is usually adopted as the top finish of the electrical contacts in dry circuits because of its excellent stability and conductibility.
Gold is an extremely beneficial choice in plating metal for electronic purposes. Due to its high resistance to oxidation and corrosion, gold is able to better maintain conductivity over time than metals that are apt to form surface oxides (such as iron or copper). The high malleability of gold makes it possible for a thin gold plating over a nickel underplate; the manufacturing of gold plated contacts has advanced to a point that the plating thickness can be very tightly controlled. The melting point of gold is nearly 2,000oF (~1100oC), far higher than any temperature expected to be encountered in most aerospace applications. This makes gold plated connectors very reliable in high temperature environments. Gold also has a relatively low coefficient of friction, enabling gold connectors to endure a large number of mating and unmating cycles without degradation. The ability to endure these cycles is crucial to the maintainability of any systems or components relying on the connector.
