Like they give a fuck, anyway. They're just going to hack us and steal any information they want.

I'm more concerned they are going to try and buy up all the farms and arable land. Between that and CSG licensees, Australia is going to be up shit creek from an agriculture perspective.

Cynic in me suggests that there will eventually be more widespread exploration for iron ore, uranium and farming in the Kimberly region and NT too.

International relations is fun and pretty interesting. You get a lot of history in there, and a fairly good grounding about the world today. Its usefulness kinda depends on the career you want, and your other majors I guess I'm doing some int relations courses towards my Asian studies major. Which other languages are you learning? I'd say it really depends on how decent your other languages are. I wouldn't start two languages at once, but otherwise it shouldn't be an issue. Japanese and Korean are both awesome (starting them both at once might be difficult though, since they are really similar).

I dunno, you could probably stay in uni and do all of them if you really wanted to. Aren't you doing like economics and accounting as well? That's a lot of different crap to keep track of!

And yeah, multiple languages is probably bad idea.

Thanks guys. I'm leaning towards international relations + one of the languages now. I'm currently doing Mandarin outside Uni. Two languages will probably be ok, three might be too much. Now I just need to decide whether I like Japanese or Korean entertainment more.

Yeah I'm also doing an economics and accounting double major. I'm like, half way through all those subjects without even touching any arts stuff yet ><

I approve of this message.

How about single driver lag? Does it take 15 seconds for the engine to start? Are you allowed to go on solo trips without calling holden up first? Does it take half a minute to respond to steering wheel input?

 

[Fredescu]

I take it back fred! All works now

I missed your last post, but yeah, pretty much as long as it's 1.5v it should work.

Not being able to drive in the T2 lane during peak hour is pretty laggy.

Eh, biggest problem with Brisbane transport is all that "high risk of derail" train track.

Normal roads are pretty much mandatory multiplayer. You definitely need to pay extra for "single player" driving.

Not to dredge it up but David Gallop has ordered an inquiry into Origin refereeing and especially the decision in Origin 1

Welp, I'm never catching the train again.

So what was the issue? I did reply, No idea if it helped or not D:

Finally went to the garage to haul out the heater. The effort was worth it.

No more big ass ski type jacket required!

Toonami was fucking amaaaaaaaaziiiiing

Sigh

Alona Tal is in a new thing -- Pilot just picked up -- but it looks awful.

lol!

Apparently its not cold enough to use the heater yet, so I have to sit wrapped in my doona with smoke from all the neighbours' chimneys pouring in. I want to use my tiny heater already ;.; Oh how I envy you >.>

Toonami was fucking amaaaaaaaaziiiiing

I feel silly, but is Toonami a foxtel thing or a before-I-can-remember thing?

I am wearing my AusGAF-disapproved turf-slippers.

But still cold, alas.

ugh, Fremantle have literally the entire team in our attacking half

this isn't AFL for fucks sake

I don't disprove, but you probably look like peter pan in them. They don't look very warm sadly. Time to join us plebeians with ugg boots.

it used to be a cartoon network thing. not sure it's even in the country right now but they just brought it back in the states

Is it technically demanding to monopolise possession in AFL ?

It's WAFL isnt it? The perth snobs call AFL the ESFL dont they? Inbreds.

Oh, Men in Black III is surprisingly good, BTW. FAR better than I was expecting, glad I saw it.

 

[Yagharek]

Given that expectations would have been about on par with another GI Joe/Transformers/Battleship movie, I guess it didnt have to do much to impress.

I really don't know what I was expecting, just something fairy bland and a bit shit (certainly not on the level of movies you're mentioning) but it was genuinely entertaining. Probably the best of all three movies, too.

 

[Jintor]

I really regret learning that MIB 1 has largely not aged very well. The animated series is still pretty baller though, although animation quality has really gone down shit creek (unlike BTAS)

 

[codswallop]

Has anyone else noticed the excessive use of what seems to be tilt shift lenses on British TV in the past five years? It's like they've discovered coloured lighting and lens flare in OpenGL.

 

[Yagharek]

I get the feeling I'm stomping on eggshells in the China/USA thread.

I dont think my point is being read in anything but a reactionary tone.

 

[shanshan310]

I think you made some good points. People like to forget that the allies have done some awful things with regard to human rights.



Also NO KORRA THIS WEEK!?!?!? >=(

 

[evlcookie]

Doesn't look like there's a new ep until next week and I don't even watch the show!

Caveman explanation:

Tilt shift makes things look ickle by making one lateral sector of the image fuzzy and another sector sharp.

 

[Yagharek]

True. I dont think China are angels, but I dont think the USA are anything close to that either. Maybe average citizens are generally good (or well meaning), but the same goes for citizens in every country for the most part.

People are inherently good, but regimes generally are morally corruptible to disgusting levels the world over.

Hiroshima.

The one good thing that came of that was the world realized nuclear weaponry is far to much.

But the US will never be forgiven for it.

Wrote this on Ten's FB page:

"Network Ten is committed to bringing Formula One and MotoGP to more viewers and building motorsport’s television presence in Australia." Except when there's other stuff to promote, right? From your Twitter tonight:
"@channelten SUPER SUNDAY: The Project, Modern Family, New Girl, Masterchef Australia and Touch! Local guide: http://bit.ly/xYW3sk"
Absolutely no mention of the F1 AT ALL on your feed (despite an Aussie being on pole), but as long as you're promoting online streams of other shows, that's all that matters I guess.

At least we get I Spy and the netball in HD. Great work.

Still fucking pisses me off. "Let's move it to Ten. Away from HD. Get more viewers... and completely forget to promote it AT ALL."

Cunts. Move it back to HD or get more people watching it.

 

[Yagharek]

I'm deliberately not mentioning the WW2 atom bombs since that is another debate on par with circumcision/abortion/PSVita sales figures as far as GAF is concerned. I think it can be argued simultaneously that it was both justified militarily and an unimaginable atrocity.

But then it doesn't take atomic bombs to do that - the Battle of the Somme and the firestorms in Dresden are just as bad (well, ten times worse in the former example).

The debate is easier to get a hold of when you make two realisations:
1) Every side is guilty
2) There is rarely a solution that does not involve ugly acts

I don't know if the world did recognise that A lot of countries are still obsessing over obtaining/ maintaining nuclear power. I'm not sure what the lesson most people took away from it, even if I personally think its something we shouldn't control.

It's not worth the hassle. Nine did the same thing with the origin, most watched show of the night, and yet they still didn't offer it in HD over on gem. Instead they had crappy vet shows.

After having not watched non-hd sport in ages, it was a shock to the system. First world problem I know, but a problem nonetheless.

 

[Choc]

crazy thing is they show a replay in HD on Tuesday night on ONE


thats the price we pay for F1 being hte highest rating show on ONE in the Eastern States.

They see a potential for the main channel to get ratings

I reckon nuclear power should be at the forefront of research. Safer forms of electricity generation, medical uses, diagnostic tools etc are all viable.

Nuclear weapons and early generation reactors are a bad thing though.

Too many people tend to see things in a black and white perspective, especially when it is their country that is being criticized. While I don't think that America is on par or worse than China, but it is undeniable that that they has committed atrocities themselves or have backed regimes that have done so.
