For numbers 575 to 581 see thread “ideal camera”.
There ya go, I’d never heard of the Bechdel test.
Don’t get 573.
Can you give us a hint?

The Bechdel test, Esselte found it for me. Thank you Esselte. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bechdel_test
Missing 572. Try again.

Oh. The Met bureau has a tsunami detection system of deepwater buoys all around Australia except for the East Coast. Geologically, a tsunami has been observed high enough to flood over the top of Sydney’s north and south heads. That means there is no way we could know about any devastating tsunami approaching Eastern Australia, from Eden to the Sunshine Coast, except by its prior impact on Lord Howe Island. I sent an email to the Met Bureau about this lapse.
#573
Victoria and Tasmania also have a history of tsunamis.

Thanks.
But actually I meant 574.
(Your time wasn’t wasted, I didn’t get 573 really either :))

It’s a H2G2 rip.

Oh. Back to 573. All of eastern Australia sits adjacent to the Pacific Ring of Fire. It’s not exactly on the ring of fire, but that doesn’t stop us being devastated by tsunamis originating on one of the extremely seismically active two ridges north of New Zealand, or from Auckland. If on the Norfolk Island ridge then Norfolk Island would give an artificially low estimate of the tsunami height (because it’s a nodal point) leaving only lord Howe Island between the point of origin and east Coast Australia/
On 574. Not a great cartoon. Infinity looks flat and uninteresting. There are only about 1,000 individual stars visible in the sky at any one time, but it looks almost like an infinite number. A lot of people overestimate the number of stars visible to the naked eye by a factor of 1,000 or more.

Yes. Flying into the interior of Magrathea.

Thanks. I didn’t know that.
Re 586, when Bomber Harris was asking for (I think) four times as many bombers, and when resources were strained, Churchill replied, you could get the same effect by being four times as accurate.

Yeah and.. The Total Perspective Vortex is allegedly the most horrible torture device to which a sentient being can be subjected.
:)
573: I’m surprised there isn’t a detection system on the E coast; I thought there was.
Some time ago I saw a report claiming that there is geological evidence of a massive tsunami South of Sydney (just S of Wollongong I think).
574: I sort of get it. I think :)

From TATE:
“ Female characters were portrayed as being involved in sex twice as often as male characters,”
How does that work?
50% of sex scenes in films are lesbian?

Stop jumping to conclusions. Perhaps 50% were solo efforts.

Directly appropriate. :-)
Are you going to put the others in here too? Or are to languish only in the camera thread.
