    Far North Queensland calling... ?

    In the early 90s a lot of that sort of infrastructure was still in place right throughout the whole region, and the same as happens in Europe builders still occasionally come across unexploded bombs. Locals took me exploring some of the military tunnel system underneath East Point too, it was...

    Far North Queensland calling... ?

    I was there from 92 to 95 then I went down to Melbourne chasing work. Did well in Melbourne but I burnt out in 2001 and headed back to Darwin for the slower pace of life. Continued burning out and ran away to live in the long grass in 2008. Left the region in the end of 2019, down to Adelaide to...

    Far North Queensland calling... ?

    If you're travelling that sort of distance you should also stop off at the East Point War Museum in Darwin, although that's gone downhill a bit over the last couple of decades. It was brilliant when it was solely focused on the war as it pertained to Darwin but they're a commercial enterprise...

    The question if diagnostic criteria for Autism Spectrum Disorder should change a little to be more accurate

    My childhood sounds the same as yours, but when I was 16 and 17 I turned that around and ended up going to the other extreme, I became a social butterfly until it burnt me out later in life.

    I'm just glad you got out of there, you now have a chance to live your own life instead of someone else's sick fantasy.

    Linux Distro-Hopping Adventures!

    If they make a genuine Linux version I'd be curious to try it out, last time I tried what they said was Galaxy for Linux it was still a Windows program that you had to run under Wine, but that was a few years back now. I've come across this problem a few times, on different computers and...

    Seeking help with understanding depression

    It's a lesson most of us only ever learn the hard way. We like to help and support our friends but some people need far more than we can give, far more than anyone can give. Eventually they have to learn to start standing on their own two feet, or not. The havoc they wreak on our own mental...

    I didn't but it always scared me. A quake only lasts a couple of minutes usually, but when you're trying to prevent your prize aquarium from breaking it seems like a very long time. :)

    As gentle as the quakes are by the time they reach Darwin they're pretty scary when you have a large fish aquarium in your lounge room. I spent many times trying to help stabilise the tank and stop it from tipping over on it's stand, water sloping out everywhere.

    Darwin gets a lot of earthquakes, or the effects of them anyway. They happen out in the Banda Sea north west of Darwin and Darwin gets gentle wobbles from them. Minimal damage but it feels really funny when the earth is jiggling around under your feet.

    You know it's close when you hear a sizzle just before the boom, when it's that close it doesn't rumble, it goes off like a cannon shot. Tropical storms are very short lived but intense.

    I got to see a lot of magnificent storms in the tropics but seeing trees explode made me think that being outside during a storm is not necessarily a good idea. That shrapnel would be pretty nasty if it hit you.

    Seeking help with understanding depression

    My thoughts are similar to your own in this, some people might think my attitudes are a bit harsh but I spent the first 50 years of my life mixing with all sorts of people from all walks of life and I've seen a thing or two. My opinions aren't created from some academic treatise on ethics and...

    BBC allowed to charge licence

    Found it, as soon as I found the right story other facts jumped out of memory, it was Switzerland. https://www.swissinfo.ch/eng/swiss-politics/swiss-vote-on-licence-fee-tax-reform-cash-and-climate/91045322

    BBC allowed to charge licence

    No idea, never read the story, just noticed a couple of words here and there as I skimmed past. I read a lot of news and sometimes bits and pieces that I didn't take any notice of show up in my memory. I'm one of those weirdos that learns by osmosis. :)

    BBC allowed to charge licence

    Australia's the same as Canada with our ABC, I think ours is a little better funded and supported than yours though going by news content. Just In The UK isn't the only country that charges a fee or has a television license system though. Just the other day I read a story about a country who's...

    Linux Distro-Hopping Adventures!

    And a big tip for people making custom Wine prefixes: You only have to get it right once. Once you've got a prefix running the programs you want copy it to another drive as a back up. But better still, you can just copy that same prefix in to any other Linux system and as long as wine is...

    Linux Distro-Hopping Adventures!

    Some older games have fanbase made patch files to get them to display in 16:9 but there's not many of them. Some games will also let you play in Windowed Mode instead of Full Screen, when you do this the aspect ratio will be correct but I find playing games in a window a little distracting. Not...

    Linux Distro-Hopping Adventures!

    An example of a Wine prefix for Win98 games. This will create a 32 bit prefix in your home folder called .wineWin98, and naturally in order to do this you must also have the 32 bit version of Wine installed. Except for the last one with a bogus example path you can just use the mouse to copy and...
