  • Because the people put into these Voice positions will be Elders of Indigenous communities.

    And since I personally worked on the 2013-16, $10M Indigenous communities research project for utilities connection and communication strategy, I know that 11% of the people in those communities are literate and the data point for tertiary-level education was so low it was rounded to 0.

    To communicate the process of utilities connection, it was determined to best use pictures, which is still the strategy today.

    Any more questions, hero?





  • Aussie subtleties of the c-word.

    1. “Silly Cunt” = funny person (endearing)

    2. “Stupid Cunt” = complete idiot (serious)

    3. “Dumb Cunt” = a good mate acting stupid (jovial)

    4. “This Cunt” = referring to a good mate who’s done/said something uniquely odd (jovial)

    5. “Acting like a Cunt” = acting terribly (serious)

    6. “Don’t be a Cunt” = stop acting terribly (serious)

    7. “Bunch of Cunts” = all your good mates (endearing)

    8. “Good Cunt” = the best compliment you can receive (endearing)

    9. “Dog Cunt” = the worst insult you can receive (get ready to fight)

    10. “Shit Cunt” = insult (serious)

    11. “Bit of a Cunt” = insult (jovial)

    Not a chance.

    Right now we’re using lithium-ion. In maybe a decade we’ll move to lithium-sulphide, and in perhaps 25 years we might see lithium-oxygen.

    Either way, lithium is all you’ll see in commercially viable batteries for the next 50 years because lithium as an anode is as good as it gets on the Table of Elements.

    Yes, you’ll see 100 reports per year about new battery tech but none of them will ever be scalable, safe enough, or cheap enough.
