    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...

    Color deficiency/anomaly and autism

    Within reason slight variations in how the colour appears on a screen doesn't bother me, as a Printer I never expected anything on a screen to perfectly match what's in print because it can't really happen. Different media formats affect the "appearance" of a colour, even just change what paper...

    I think many NTs also struggle with social situations.

    I didn't hear about that one but it's very typically Aussie, a natural cultural response that no one even has to suggest, it just seems to happen organically. You can't stop us from being ourselves. :)

    This is a picture of Brutus, a large croc popular with tourists on the Adelaide River in the top end. If he grabbed a human around the middle I don't fancy their chances.

    Cairns, Queensland... New discovery

    Many years ago a couple of young German girls asked me about camping sites around Kunnanurra. I described a spot to them almost in the town on the banks of the Ord River, a beautiful spot, but I warned them not to swim there because of the crocs. One of the girls said "Don't be silly, they just...

    Inland it's an area of floods at the moment. And more people that don't know you can't use Google as a navigation tool. They were driving from Darwin To Melbourne and Google showed them a short cut.... Father and daughter walk 13km for help after escape from flooded car

    Welcome to the forum. I was in my 50s and long grassing it about 170 Ks out of Darwin when I found out about autism, what a revelation that was. Caused me to reevaluate my entire life. Absolutely zero in the way of services up in Darwin though, they actually do have services but you have to...
