    The Good Student?

    Not NTs, just people that got to where they are by bullying and blustering and don't really have the intelligence to play on the same level as highly skilled professionals.

    Gaseous Fuel

    Australia is one of the world's largest exporters of coal and gas, but that's ending very soon. Coal is still on track to be completely phased out by 2040. After that it will be illegal to mine coal in Australia except for coking coal for our iron smelters and coal exports will be completely...

    The Good Student?

    That is my experience once I left school and got out in to the real world. In general most people recognise high intellect and will often ask my help in solving problems. In the real world I'm appreciated. In my society this will turn entire communities against you, and there's a fine line...

    'speaking loudly'

    Raising your voice when angry or excited is perfectly normal and even expected, but some people seem to yell even when they're trying to have a private conversation. One of my neighbours is like this, I've even mentioned it to him a couple of times, speaking so loud all the time that the rest of...

    The Good Student?

    Coincidence I'm afraid. I have the abnormal memory that is more often stereotypified with autism. I never had to study anything in my life. I read it once and I remember it, job done.

    They are slowly becoming very well established right the way across southern England and Wales as feral pests. At the moment everyone thinks they're cute and loves seeing them but that will change in the next 50 years or so. How common are wild wallabies in Suffolk and Norfolk?

    No, you wouldn't be jealous, you'd be thinking maybe you didn't have it so bad. Those temperatures are in the high 90s and over 100 in your money.

    Adopted by a Neurotypical

    Sadly not all of Australia, mostly only South Australia and Victoria. Back in the 60s one of our Prime Ministers gave a famous speech but it wasn't until the 80s that we started to realise it's full importance. So far only 2 states have really learned though: "Civil laws, as opposed to...

    'speaking loudly'

    If he does speak really loudly all the time then I hope he takes his own advice to heart and trains himself better instead of "feeling self conscious about it". It's a social faux pas that will dramatically affect how everyone else relates to him. There's a few stereotypes associated with that...

    Adopted by a Neurotypical

    I always had to be my own extrovert. It's not my nature, I prefer quiet and solitude, but to get anywhere in life requires a certain level of social competence. I got a bit of a head start in my teens where my two closest friends were what you would typically describe as NT Extroverts, but when...

    Introduced by sugar cane farmers to combat Cane Beetle, but there's brains and then there's brains. Beetles can fly, toads can't. Complete failure as well as national catastrophy. They have caused almost as many extinctions as cats and that's saying something.

    Do you want a cashless society?

    I admit I haven't used cash in a few years now, but that's OK when you live in a big city. I keep a few hundred in the wallet for just in case but it never gets touched. I don't miss all the coins I used to end up with. In the top end of Australia blackouts are common in the wet season, due to...

    Do you want a cashless society?

    Having lived in remote areas where communications can be a bit dodgy at the best of times I know that ideas of a cashless society (including digital currencies) can not work. If a storm passes through and communications go down for a few weeks (disappointingly common) then you've got no access...

    Hello World!

    Hi and welcome to the forum. I wasn't depressed but was recommended some SSRIs by a doctor. I figured if they're supposed to make you happy then what have I got to lose. I only took them for a few months. They completely destroyed what had been more than 50 years of perfect sleep patterns and I...

    Interesting Commentary On Microsoft Windows' Rise- And Fall

    So even AI is pushing the Microtoss propaganda. :) The whole point of trying other OSs is because Windows is slow, clunky, unstable and virus prone as well as expensive. Any OS tested within Windows is going to be crippled by the Windows Desktop and behave just as poorly as Windows does. I...

    Interesting Commentary On Microsoft Windows' Rise- And Fall

    That's one of the plusses with Linux, no more worries about viruses and privacy protection. Changing over to a new OS is a bit frustrating at first though, simply because you won't know your way around the system and it takes a little while for Windows habits to change. What most people do is...

    Interesting Commentary On Microsoft Windows' Rise- And Fall

    :) Computers have become faster by making all the components smaller so they can jam more switches in to a single processor. Smaller components means smaller wiring which means it doesn't need as much electricity to overheat it and burn it out. The more often your computer gets hot the sooner...
