There's a great saying
"A society grows great when old men plant trees in whose shade they know they shall never sit"
I propose a slight variation...
"A society grows great when politicians initiate projects, of which the opening ceremony ribbon they know they shall never cut"

Very high verbal IQ, able to explicitly state and defend his views.
The last minute of this monologue is brilliant, about building a country, a society that values competency, aesthetics, beauty, safety and personal responsibility.

Nick is truly a once in a lifetime figure. He’s a true revolutionary with an incredible ability to articulate his position. You can imagine his vision while he’s speaking.

These Ring videos of certain demographics raiding candy bowls on Halloween bring me back to what I like to call the Farm Stand Theory and which I think has been coined elsewhere as the Farm Stand Test.
Most of the neighborhoods I’ve lived in have had a house with an unmanned farm stand. You take fresh produce or eggs and leave the money in a box. It runs entirely on the honor system.
If you are moving and looking for a new community, find one that has a farm stand. The farm stand immediately tells you that the community is safe, neighborly, and high trust. The farm stand reveals more than any other single observable factor ever could. Even if you never use the farm stand, you can rest easy knowing it’s there.
If your neighborhood not only doesn’t have a farm stand but *couldn’t* have one, even in theory, that means you live in a shit hole. It means you can’t even trust the people around you to be minimally civilized and decent.
People who live in the city like to brag about the nice restaurants and stores nearby. But the vast majority of neighborhoods in the vast majority of cities couldn’t sustain a farm stand for even a day. It would be looted and wiped out within about 45 minutes. That makes them shit holes. I don’t care how expensive the houses are or how many restaurants you have nearby. You’re surrounded by dishonorable, deceitful thieves. You live in a dump, I’m sorry to tell you.
But the uncomfortable (for some people, not me) fact about the farm stand is that it also tells you something else: if you have an unmanned farm stand, your community is probably overwhelmingly white. It could also have an Asian population and sustain a farm stand just fine. But that’s about the extent of the “diversity” you’re likely to find if you’re trying to live in a Farm Stand Eligible location, which you should be.
A neighborhood could be wealthy or middle class or lower income and have a farm stand. The farm stand doesn’t tell you much about the average tax bracket of a community. It does tell you something about its demographics. Feel however you want about that fact. But it is a fact.

Can I ask a potentially silly question of all the sheep/wool producers here on X?
Have there been any attempts to change wool bale sizes to be more compatible with modern freight logistics and warehousing?
As in, why are they not the size of a standard pallet (1150x1150)?

Bulkabags, 1000L shuttles/IBCs, even hay bales work on multiples of pallet dimensions...
@grok what is the reason/origin behind the dimensions of an Australian wool bale?

A means of removing the AI generated photos and videos which are increasingly flooding my feed.
Keep the genuine photos and videos captured and recorded by people, heck keep the long form written posts by humans but refined by AI, I'll make that concession.
Social media should only be about interacting with humans regardless of location...not computers impersonating humans.

Personalized ad tracking.

Most people leave it on by default. Turning it off stops apps from building a cross-app profile of you.

5 years ago I would've said this was science fiction, I now think this is an approaching reality.
All I know is, I'm glad we've only got 27 million people in Australia... heaven help those countries with 100 million plus people who will have the majority of their populations without work.

We study and share what Farmers do - Humanoids are a perfect fit for Farm work
Elon Musk was quoted recently as saying that his humanoid project, Optimus, could end up being his biggest project yet. Bigger than Tesla or SpaceX
They are talking about humanoids doing physical al AI, they call it.
Imagine walking into a Woolshed and the whole Shearing team is humanoids. Imagine you’re driving down a back road and you see on your 2 humanoids banging in steel posts for a perfectly straight fence line.
I still think these humanoids are the answer to virtual fencing for Sheep.
Could these humanoids make our Farming businesses more efficient and, in turn, more prosperous?
Keep a very close eye on physical AI. It’s a perfect fit for Farming tasks.

Watching a migrant school David Speers on preserving Australian culture is the best thing you’ll see all day.
Still can’t believe the ABC let him speak.
