Yes MBFC is Extremely American in its definitions of left and right. A less US-centric rating would be much preferred.

I generally like the idea otherwise.

https://monumentaustralia.org.au/search Incredibly detailed info on monuments all over the country. Lots of non-conflict-related ones.

Haha couldn’t resist the NZ joke.

And the majority of small towns have a small memorial that you’d have to go hunting to find. Google searches will of course tend towards the bigger, more obvious ones.

I live in a country town. Our memorial is (literally) 1.2m tall, made of concrete and takes up less than 3m square. It has been there since the 80’s.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m not a fan of fetishising the military. But the OP suggestion that they’re all massive monuments is patently absurd.

I’m thinking it’s “centre left” from an American perspective.

Where the hell are you going with military statues that cost “more than the town” to build?! Outside of the big cities I can’t think of many places with more than a small (less than 1m) statue and a plaque. And I’ve lived in every state and territory except Tasmania and New Zealand.

Are you really critiquing the stance of an Olympic level athlete?

That’s all well and good but eating pizza lying down like that while being over 40 is just asking for heartburn.

You’re thinking of Intel vPro. I imagine some of the Crowdstrike ~~victims~~ customers have this and a bunch of poor level 1 techs are slowly griding their way through every workstation on their networks. But yeah, OP is deluded and/or very inexperienced if they think this could have been mitigated on workstations through some magical “hygiene”.

“2mm-long strips”? I think you mean 2cm long?

Temperate or Mediterranean climates in most of southern Australia. We won’t usually see quite as many days (or nights) under 0 as we have this year. Our power infrastructure doesn’t tend to collapse every time it’s chilly though.
