  • A lot of people that want to travel can’t handle the hard stuff. It seems more about how you deal with that than how you deal with the good stuff.

    Same with careers. Lot of people chase the good stuff then realise all the bad shit makes it terrible. I also noticed a few women who really want to be high in their career to stick it to the man. They either really sexist people or they find out that no one actually cares and that all the guys that have made it to the top worked really hard and put a lot of hours in. Suddenly they realise that what they will have to do too and they completely lose interest.

    Being a house wife has a lot of perks and limited downsides, if you don’t mind the downsides it’s really really appealing.


  • Lack of cultural integration, homophobia, sexism, racism, religion, lack of local training and development, lack of capital investment, high housing costs, poor housing quality, wage suppression, increasing density of the country, crime, making places less desirable and more crime ridden.

    But no one ever wants to talk about anything that isn’t short term averages.

    I haven’t got an issue with immigration as a concept or necessarily as an average.

    But there is a reason no one complains about first, second, third generation Australians coming to their country not learning the language, not integrating, committing crimes and no treating women right. A lot of people on the left live in outright denial about immigration.

    Sure keep the upper class happy by keeping wages down and house prices high. Only costs you money, safety and community.










  • I was thinking about the US lately. Can’t remember why exactly maybe some friends popped up on my Facebook.

    But I decided it actually wouldn’t be that bad of a place to live. If it wasn’t for the toxic work culture.

    If they worked normal hours and had 20+ holidays it would be alright. Other shit annoy me and you would have to make sure you live in the nice areas but I could live there and enjoy it. But the work culture is an absolute no go. Wish they were like the Aussie. Show up do hard day of work fuck off for some beers. If the surfs good call in sick and end up seeing your boss in the line up. Work hard for a few months then decide fuck it and go to Bali for a weekend accidentally stay there for two months then decide you need to go back to work because travelling is too much effort walk into a job 1 week after landing home.





  • It is a sign of market opportunity and batteries will come into play more.

    But it will always be cheaper in the middle of the day so demand shift would be good.

    Things like heating, cooling, water, washing, cleaning, charging. All being done in the middle of the day will be the easy wins.

    But certainly in high production low usage times the arse is going to fall out of the price. But really how many processes can run for short durations? Most high energy processes are high capital and run 24/7.



  • There was a TV show. Stephen Fry 100 greatest gadgets.

    For 1 he told a story about how some guy was talking to a largely uncontacted tribe and they were really interested in their tech.

    So he knew they would have a supply drop and took them out to see the plane for the first time ever. The tribe was remarkable unimpressed with the sight.

    The guy asked what was up and they came back with the reply “You can make fire from your fingertips. Of course you can fly”

    He named the lighter the number 1 gadget.
