    Pulled over for no seatbelt

    Here there's no sobriety test like that. Breath test and saliva swab. They can and do pull over any one at any time and conduct random tests. Sometimes they block roads off and test every single driver. Refuse a test and you get arrested and taken to hospital for blood samples.

    listened to AI, asked for a raise and it went badly

    "I'm just waiting for my mate." :D

    listened to AI, asked for a raise and it went badly

    We even had a popular TV reality show called RBT but AI doesn't know about anything outside of the US.

    listened to AI, asked for a raise and it went badly

    A decline sounds a bit drastic, perhaps a rebalance would be a better term. I want to see it's use in search engines ended. In a recent post I mentioned Random Breath Testing in Australia, RBT is a common term in Australia, every Aussie immediately thinks of a police road block. Tonight I just...

    listened to AI, asked for a raise and it went badly

    Just keep your head down and hope it blows over. Most employers don't like changing staff simply because it costs them time money and effort, so if it looks like there's no longer an issue with you they'll carry on as they are.

    listened to AI, asked for a raise and it went badly

    I have no job advice but I hope you learned the lesson about AI. Artificial Intelligence is an oxymoron. There is no such thing as a "thinking" computer and there likely never will be. What they're calling AI is nothing more than an algorithm dedicated to telling you what you want to hear...

    Pulled over for no seatbelt

    Here there's a lot of debate at the moment over the use of cannabis and driving because most people on cannabis are not impaired drivers, and now that people can get cannabis legally it's opening up a whole new round of debates on the topic. Attitudes of police in general match attitudes of the...

    Pulled over for no seatbelt

    Here we have random drug and alcohol testing and any time you get pulled over for any reason the very first thing they do is test for drugs and alcohol. In fact pulling people over randomly and testing them is used as a premise to satisfy other suspicions. I've heard a lot of people from...

    Pulled over for no seatbelt

    We have detection cameras for all of that everywhere these days. Not wearing a seatbelt, using a mobile phone, animals or children on the driver's lap, etc. The cameras don't miss much and there's no nice cop that can let you off with a warning, you start getting fines in the mail and then you...

    What did you just say, and those issues of living together.......

    I was still in my 20s when I worked out that living with other people just isn't good for me. I had plenty of girlfriends since then and even a few longer term relationships but the idea of living together is not one I'm prepared to entertain.

    Australia’s camels

    Some people think that absolutely everything in Australia is deadly and trying to kill you. None of these people have ever had to deal with an angry Aussie girlfriend, everything else seems quite harmless after that. :) To be fair though, we do have the world's only venomous mammal. They look...

    Any song lyrics that stick in your mind and speak deeply to you?

    From our era? I have more than 2 decades of meaningful songs stuck in my head. If I had to pick one this would be it. Although I never had a problem with drug addiction, when I was a teenager learning to take responsibility for my own life and for the world I lived in was a difficult lesson.

    They're ambush predators, they very rarely attack anything at first sight. Instead they watch you for habits and then position themselves where you will end up between them and the water. They only need to eat about once a week so they're very patient hunters.

    Westall incident

    There's so many different ways to move heavy objects it's not funny. Egyptians didn't have the tools for this but it's an interesting concept, I once helped move a 3.5 ton printing machine in to a print shop. The ceiling was too low to allow us to put any sort of wheels under the machine so we...

    Australia’s camels

    There was another one that did a similar trip with camels last year but they walked from Alice Springs to Melbourne. And at the moment we have a Japanese tourist that's walking from Cairns to Melbourne. Tomoya Matsusaka, the route he's taking hugs the coast a lot of the way so it's more than...

    Little Nippers program for autistic children

    The sad part is that all mammals can swim instinctively, there are no exceptions to that rule, but children not exposed to water at an early enough age don't build on those instincts. By age 5 or 6 fear is a stronger component than instinct, which makes learning more difficult. Most people that...

    Westall incident

    Great ideas but a lack of native timber makes it unlikely. What trees they had were scrubby and stunted by climate and they imported timber for boat building. So although they had access to timber it wasn't a cheap and readily available commodity. That doesn't discount the theories but it's...

    Want a Relationship but Feel So Unrelatable

    Very few of us just get life handed to us on a gilded platter. You can have anything you want in life but you have to work for it. Social skills might not come naturally to us but they can be learned. It's not easy though, it takes hard work and determination and above all it takes a lot of...
