  Australia locking up kids
Posted by: Lilith7 - 11-11-2024, 02:34 PM - Forum: News and Current Affairs - No Replies

Given that we now know that the human brain isn't complete until the mid twenties, which particularly affects consequences, decision making, planning & impulse control, you might think that this would be acknowledged, given consideration & acted upon.

NOT in Northern Terroritory, Australia; they clearly prefer to ignore all of that in order to continue developing life long criminals - mostly Aboriginal. There have been protests which have been ignored.

Well done, Northern Terroritory, first prize for sheer idiocy. Dodgy Angry

That looks interesting, probably we should be doing something similar.

  Repco Jumpstarter advice needed
Posted by: Olive - 09-11-2024, 06:16 PM - Forum: General Discussion - Replies (5)

It's a few years old now, and is failing to hold its charge, thereby setting off its earsplitting alarm.  The only way I can shut it up is to plug it back in.   I can't find a manual on line, nor any advice other than that it's not safe to keep it plugged in all the time.

I would like to disable it completely to shut it up.   How do I do this?   I'll try to attach a photo of it.


I can't upload a photo, all too big.  It is a Repco 1200 Amp 12V 22 Ah AGM battery.

  AI Overview
Posted by: harm_less - 09-11-2024, 09:43 AM - Forum: PressF1 - Replies (2)

Recently I'm seeing this content as the top result on many Google searches but on subjects that I'm familiar with the info provided is inaccurate in many cases. A case of data being harvested from less than reliable sources on the internet is my suspicion. As a result I'm now disregarding anything that AI Overview displays as I do any embedded content such as adverts, social media links and the like.

  Minister considering changing long term poverty reduction targets
Posted by: Lilith7 - 08-11-2024, 03:59 PM - Forum: Opinion and Politics - Replies (2)

I think there has to be something deeply warped in people who can even contemplate doing this. When exacty IS the 'right time?'


In 2018 ACT, National, Labour The Green Party & NZ First singed up to reduce poverty by half within ten years. But it seems likely that this heartless govt may renege on that committment.

Apparently there's no profit in ending poverty.. Dodgy Angry

  Gloriavale, banned books
Posted by: Lilith7 - 08-11-2024, 02:47 PM - Forum: News and Current Affairs - Replies (2)

Really, no fairy tales? No science fiction I can just about understand & what they call 'feminist propaganda' but NO fairly tales, no animals in clothing...they appear terrified of the possibility that children might use their imagination.

And nothing to promote Xmas or easter - very bizarre, surely that can hardly be offensive but they seem to have managed to find something.

Unbelievable... Rolleyes

The sooner there's an end to Gloriavale, the better, especially for those kids.
