Another whistle blower comes forward, this time about the conditions on Nauru, also he has a book.

Remembering that the Nauru camp, while initially opened by the Coalition, was closed when Labor came into power but then later reopned in 2012. So you know, Labor and the Coalition, partners in crimes against humanity.

Also: An article on the new anti-protester laws in Victoria. Still haven't seen one on an Australian site...

EDIT:
In other news, this group of year 9 students gives me some hope for the future.  Damn kids are more hard hitting than any media reporter.

EDIT: Election results for SA and TAS coming in! Tasmania has been called for the libs, but we all saw that coming. The question is who will be opposition? Looking good for the labs.
SA is still waaay too early to call, but looking good for labor. They may stick around with a reduced majority... Except they promised to make no deals with the Greens, so I have no idea how that will work out.

So I am going to buy a giant wooden donkey, and it is pretty expensive... I wait a few years until the price of giant wooden donkeys goes down and then pat myself on the back for saving all that money... When I could have just not bought the fucking donkey and saved a lot more.

Interview with an asylem seeker, as well as some leaked photos. Some injuries, at least the ones that aren't serious enough to be in hospital, some bullet holes, some blood stains. You get the idea...

Q: Do you mean that the ones who work in the camp were involve in the attack?
A: 100 per cent, of course. See, one of the boys that I don't wish to name was badly injured in the attack, so one Australian guard threw him over his shoulder to take to the ambulance. On his way out, a PNG guard hit the detainee's head with a wooden pole. As he picked his head up, the PNG guard recognised him as a friend who was giving him cigarettes every day. He was shocked and said, "Sorry, sorry my friend."
This story has become one of the jokes currently in the camp. "Sorry, sorry my friend."
They are all locals who are employed and work here, and yes, many were on shift in full uniform and many were off shift and in personal clothes. At one point there was a G4S PNG guard in full uniform, but he wore thongs as he didn't get a chance to put his boots on.

We ended up drawing a triangle and figuring out the forces from there. Final equation was that it slides when tanθ > μ, no mass, therefor they slide at the same angle, but the important part was showing all the working.

You don't understand, our military servicemen give their lives to protest us, they deserve the best hardware possible! You don't want them to die because they didn't have the best gear, do you? Do you hate the military? Why do you hate people that lay down their lives to protect you? Show a little patriotism!

And so on and so forth...

So Fairfax is reporting that we are boosting military funding even more so with a new round of stealth fighters and a batch of drones, apparently for the sake of watching the north seas for asylum seeker boats. Firstly, I think this has gone from policy designed to demonize people and win popular support, into paranoid lunatic ground. Secondly I'm left to wonder if Hitler claimed his increases in military power were to stop the Jews. Godwin; all day, everyday.

That is exactly what I'm saying.
For context, a friend of mine is doing firsr year sciene, but she is in a somewhat bad financial situation and can't afford a good scientific calculator. One of her lecturers challenged the class to find the solution on a few hours, with the best answer winning a really nice calculator.

So assuming I had two coins, both identical in size and shape, but one is exactly twice the mass of the other. I put these both on a wooden plank until one or both starts to slide down the plank. What one will begin to slide first? Also I don't just need the answer, I need the equations involved, remembering that the force of friction is directly proportional to the normal force.
Thanks for any help, I only have a few hours to figure this out and it will take me longer than that just to find my old textbooks...

I'm pretty sure this is going to get challenged in court... Plenty of legal experts who would love to rip that thing to shreds.

I'm looking forward to reading Chris Berg's convoluted and misleading article on why this specific form of infringing on freedom of speech is actually a good thing.

Math experts (and a physicist) split a check.
The legal guy wasn't present because he was sure to get his bill separately, and had already paid in full then left...

It's the little things in life that makes it worth living.
Preforming an action without mortal fear circling your mind like a starving raven, truly the life of kings!

Went to the gym with my partner today. Never had a spotter before... It is actually a lot more useful than I gave it credit for! Also the sweaty physical contact is kind of nice, but seriously, not worrying about killing yourself by dropping a weight on your neck really helps.

As far as UFO sightings go, I think they are 4/5s experimental plane sightings and 1/5 sleep paralysis.
I'm going with:
12% images in the sky due to light from the ground refracting
33% commercial planes
2% North Korea military testing
2% extra terrestrial lifeforms
1% weather balloons
50% alcohol induced visions
