    Adjustable Metal Watchbands- Are they the way to go?

    Simple practicality ruled things for me, partly climate and partly the industrial environment I worked in. The southern hemisphere has much stronger UV exposure than the north, rubber and plastics rot and disintegrate at an incredibly fast rate. Rubber or plastic watch bands have a life...

    Gum Tree is just a generic term for any eucalypt, so it basically covers every tree in Australia and is usually only used to differentiate between a native tree and an import. The trees in that video mostly look like Northern Stringy Barks. North Queensland has wet tropics because of the...

    sound piece — curious how it lands

    It's partly the faster pace of the beat but I think it also has to do with the way in which there's never any variation where as that tends to shift around a bit with live musicians. It really has a profound effect on me though.

    sound piece — curious how it lands

    That techno beat drives me mental. It aggravates me, it makes me angry and it makes me extremely aggressive. Within a few minutes I will also become irrational and violent. It has that effect on a large percentage of the population and that is one of the reasons my last neighbour got kicked out...

    if you don't like your posts on a forum

    I don't understand this "right to be forgotten". It simply doesn't make sense. Try using it in the context of a spoken conversation - you say something you regret, you instantly ask the other person to forget that you just said that and they agree. Did the other person really forget? Can you...

    Cattle mustering in Australia's Northern Territory, we do things a little bit different in this part of the world. :)

    Do our pets relate to humans on the Autism Spectrum differently than NTs?

    Dogs are a bit like human children, if you don't spend enough time playing with them they get lonely and depressed .

    Common Australian Birds

    In one way at least you should be happy that the bats are there, those furry little faces make great pollinators. Now that Varoa mites are wiping out the European honey bees farmers were really worried about not getting their fruit trees pollinated, bats do just as good a job. Personally I'm...

    No, cane toads are tropical creatures and can't survive a temperate winter, fortunately. You've got them in Florida too, same story.

    Common Australian Birds

    What we're doing in South Australia is a little bit different, we're not introducing new species, we're encouraging the proliferation of the original species that used to be prolific here. The noisy minah is a good example of this, people hate them, they're noisy and they attack all other...

    When I was a young man Melbourne only had the one small colony living near the botanic gardens. Now they're everywhere. Adelaide now has just the one small colony living near our botanic gardens....

    Do Autistic People Have No Empathy?

    It's an old slur that gets repeated again and again by the types of people that will tell you that autism is caused by vaccines and covid can be cured by drinking bleach. If I decide I want something I can be very persuasive, in fact I can be one of the smoothest con men you've ever met...

    Common Australian Birds

    Most tourists, especially those from Europe and the US, are shocked by our birds, most of the birds in those videos can be seen wild in the cities, and in great numbers. You don't have to travel to remote places to see them, they're everywhere. Tourists are also often shocked by the noise they...
