Duty of Care? The "Benevolent Guide" is a person who voluntarily accompanies or leads others in an activity, without receiving payment or formal compensation, generally in recreational, outdoor, or group settings. In an Australian context, this needs to be weighed against "Dependent Participants"

3D printed Artificial High Directional rigs for desktop training applications. I’m using the Vortex model for the tripod as that’s the model that I trained with. Now to find some more rigging hardware; Clutch, Capto, and pulleys with opening side plates.

"They told boys the truth, that the most dangerous thing a woman will ever face is a man, and then they taught those boys to be the other kind but show no mercy or tolerance towards the wolf."

"Somewhere, another man watched them and did nothing. The opposite of the men who ran towards her on that night, to protect and help." "The men I learned from did not pretend the wolves could be reasoned with. They did not tell boys the world had failed to understand them."

❝ Of all the factors we examined in our study, only students’ sense of school connectedness in Year 8 was linked to higher student wellbeing two years later, when students were in Year 10. ❞ theconversation.com/what-role-do...

Crazy this is not obvious to Wall Street: every democracy saw what Musk did to Ukraine last week and confirmed security need for Starlink alternative. Those alternatives will not just serve defense needs, but also be viable commercial alternatives, crushing any hope of SpaceX's monopoly projections.

reliance on starlink is a national security threat for every country, including the united states, where musk would absolutely use it to sabotage the foreign policy of a dem president it must be replaced posthaste

The White House says the malicious manipulation of Ukrainian access to StarLink and StarShield is over. Zelenskyy says it continues. And Zelenskyy, of course, is correct.

I’d like the source material for this claim; how much does it compare to the impact of the free to air Sky News24 Regional broadcast into country areas? I see a diet of HeraldSun + Sky News doing far more damage in NE Victoria than social media.

Albo is spot on about social media producing a more violent and angry environment. Big Tech companies are frighteningly powerful and out of control.

The "phantom rain" appearing on weather radars across Sydney and eastern New South Wales is caused by massive swarms of migrating Bogong moths!!! I can imagine an Aussie version of the Weather Girls singing: 🎶 "It's raining moths, alleluia!" 🎶 😂 #weather #nature

Never trust a Musk owned product for production / enterprise solutions

The Telegraph obtained information that it was Elon Musk’s idea to reduce the maximum speed of Starlink-controlled (interceptor-) drones in Ukraine, then got cold feet that this might backfire on Starlink in the European market and then finally blamed Trump for this episode.
