@thejapantimes Oddly I've seen the price of some things from China drop in Australia as they have stock they are no longer selling in the USA
Was thinking today that if I was in career advice I'd get young people starting out to do a trade, then go to Uni. Manual skills are a big deal.
The metric system is 150 years old. The metre originated in the French Revolution, but its definition has changed many times since - ABC News https://www.abc.net.au/news/science/2025-05-20/metre-treaty-anniversary-metric-system-measurement-metrology/105302024
@james well done!
Hey @ash - I had a couple of mapping nerds (I include myself in that category) ask about how the hexagon electoral map is created. Is there an explanation anywhere? Loved it in https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-05-02/election-paths-to-victory/105226740
@anathema_device same principle though - basically slows the water movement
@anathema_device when I was young, my dad called this contour farming as the banks follow the contours of the land
@Heterokromia Couldn't believe he wasn't picked up on this. The Greens had agreed to support the legislation but WA Labor asked Albanese to hold off. Completely done within the Labor party

#Iceland tested a reduced workweek 2014-2019:
”A pair of trials covering 1.3 per cent of the Icelandic workforce revealed that slashing weekly hours led to better employee #wellbeing, with less stress and burnout, while #productivity stayed the same or improved. The positive results sparked union pressure in Iceland, and now 86% of Icelandic workers either work shorter weeks or have the right to ask to do so.“

Edit: The initial source was misleading, so I replaced it and adjusted the quote. Also see: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four-day_workweek#Iceland

Ministries! Even after winning power the ALP factions are still fighting bitterly and behaving rudely
First Dog on the Moon
Here in the ALP we hate each other almost as much as we hate the Greens

Went to order some 3d printing filament today and it was about 15% cheaper than normal - apparently it mostly comes from China so excess supplies due to Trump tariffs - a win for Australia 👍 #3dprinting
@debritz TIL that a left-wing terrorist group has a psychological phenomenon named after it. So strange
