    US Elections (& Politics) :)

    That's a little bit harsh. I could understand your point of view if the document was never intended to be public, but Court Decisions, and for that matter all business of the Court, are generally meant to be publicly available on the principle that justice must be done and be seen to be done. I...

    I always thought that Kieth Richards has always been dead but just really well preserved. Him being a deity explains a lot.

    Idiots in Cars - Pure Negligence

    I think you will find that's a two speed powerglide. Lots of drag cars still use them because they are damn near bulletproof.

    I wish people would stop referring to recession like it is some kind of dirty word. No economy can grow continuously and there nothing governments of any persuasion can do about economic pressures that are generated outside the domestic market, and very little they can do short term about...

    High speed morse telegraphy using a straight key

    That doesn't sound that far fetched to be honest. A morse callsign is just a series of tones in a specific order, so I can see how they could attune their ear to that, much like a voice operator can ignore all of the traffic until they hear their callsign.

    More Day/Night Profile Confusion

    I have my 5442's set up to do exactly this and it is working fine. Set your profile back to full time and click save. Make each of the changes in the day profile, clicking save after each one, and then do the same in your night profile. After that return the schedule to day/night and see how you...

    Or, alternatively, your media blasting kit has become sentient, and deepstack is trying to warn you, but sentient compressor isn't in the model.

    US Elections (& Politics) :)

    I was having a look at the numbers for your elections and something like 10-25% of the population don't vote for whatever reason (lack of democracy sausages I say) so you can double your effectiveness at the ballot box by taking along a similarly minded individual who just cant get to the polls...

    Google and Amazon are giving camera access to LE, other agencies without a warrant or notification to camera owners. Is this a dangerous precedent?

    Especially if they read the end user agreement and privacy policy. In many cases the person has consented to the use of the information in that way.

    And thank you. I've learnt a lot from it. HF is a dying art my friend and if you are a fellow practitioner of that art I salute you. What load are you using for bears? Isn't that the crux of the matter for so many of us. Ammo costs an absolute bomb here. I'm jealous of the prices you pay...

    I am? If you really want I could start citing other far more obscure cases where the SCOTUS reversed it's previous decision. There's more than a few. https://constitution.congress.gov/resources/decisions-overruled/ Sell that to me. The highest court in the land, from which there is no...

    2nd Amendment thread

    Why do people feel the need to truncate off the first part of that statement? And it's far from crystal clear. If it was your justices would consistently be ruling along similar lines. What it means has been debated for years by all of your Courts, and that continues today. I don't always...

    2nd Amendment thread

    We have the High Court of Australia, but out constitution contains no specific rights, and the HCA has only ever stated that it contains a single implied right, and that is freedom of political communication. Because of that there is no provision for the HCA to make a ruling that a particular...

    Where did you get that idea? Spearguns under 45cm are considered prohibited weapons here for which you need a permit A crossbow needs a prohibited weapons permit. I prefer our system where laws are decided by a representative Parliament that we voted for, and who we can vote out. I know...

    As long as they are longer that 45cm (18") unloaded, then they are not prohibited. Use still has to be justifiable at law. No such right exists in either the Australian Constitution or Law. , In fact, with respect to your 2A, our Constitution would specifically prohibit any law made by any...

    I know you guys fought hard to get rid of all things British, but many of the woes you have today re the politisation of Law Enforcement could have been avoided if you kept the Office of Constable. In short, no politician or manager can tell them to do anything which involves the exercise of a...

    Oh no those were proper riots with lots of OC and impact munitions. COVID response wasn't nationally homogeneous, or even homogenous within states or cities. Melbourne copped the worst of it. I think they took the gong for most locked down city in the world. The current state government down...

    All of those videos are from Melbourne Victoria and that isn't what happened in Australia, or Victoria, or even Melbourne on most days. I think one of the biggest difference in the attitude towards firearms stems from how we came to be free nations. The US was effectively born in the blood of...
