    My memory problem

    My autism came with eidetic memory, there's very little that I forget no matter how hard I try. That said, it always fascinated me that I was able to remember so much and as a kid I experimented with it a lot. There's a few things that my brain has trouble storing, and one of those is people's...

    What? I am on the speaker phone, oh boy.....

    It's probably illegal here now too, but some people simply have no manners or any concept of common courtesy. I have seen people kicked out of restaurants because they're too loud and obnoxious with their phones though and are disturbing other patrons. In Australia we don't normally tip but I've...

    What? I am on the speaker phone, oh boy.....

    It's been many years since I enjoyed going out to restaurants but I used to love going to one in Melbourne, Leo's Spaghetti Bar. It was a bar and a restaurant and it ran a signal jammer - no phones or wifi inside the building. They had a huge sign out the front warning people to turn their...

    What? I am on the speaker phone, oh boy.....

    That's something a lot of tourists do here, very annoying and very rude. Tight enclosed spaces like on public transport or in an elevator are quiet places normally, but some people are so self absorbed that they don't notice that they're the only ones making noise and everyone else is staring at...

    Ways of cooling down an apartment without AC.

    Try looking at the world from my side. :D There's a lot I'll never understand.

    For us it's southern lights that will be able to be seen as far north as Sydney.

    Post something Weird or Random

    A sign of changing times. Even just a few years ago our government wouldn't have bothered to warn us about these sorts of things. Timing is fortunate and if there's any disruptions to services most of us won't care because it'll be during the night, but it could be a bit different for people on...

    Vegetarian recipes

    Buy some protein powder for those times when your diet is deficient. 80% protein and 0 calories. Just mix with water, tastes like a chocolate milk. You can get all sorts of flavours actually.

    What is the difference between "safe foods" and food preferences?

    That's exactly how I did it too, eating the things I didn't like first and saving the meat until last. The only vegetables I didn't like were peas and brussels sprouts but I still ate brussels sprouts, I would never eat peas. I certainly never mixed things together on the fork like my mother...

    Buying things you don’t need

    Just promise them that the beer will be really cold, they'll never leave. I don't know if they still do it or not, there used to be a training exercise for our special forces, they had to go on foot from Perth to Darwin without being seen. All the people in remote areas were alerted to these...

    Buying things you don’t need

    It's all good, you've got Aussies there now and they'll stay until the beer runs out. We did a contra deal, Norway's supplying us with missiles and were supplying Norway with elite soldiers and training.

    Whitewater Woman's Equipment Maintenance and Repair

    I'd go with the metal sheeting or with more fly screen as you suggested. I wouldn't waste my time with plywood, even what they call "marine ply" is rubbish and it will just rot. Those metal sheets are roofing sheets with a brand named coating called Zincalume. You can buy it in two trays wide...

    Ways of cooling down an apartment without AC.

    It's exactly that type of situation that triggered us introducing anti-corruption laws such as Conflict Of Interest. Up until the 80s our phone services were supplied by the government, telecom was a government department, then we privatised it. But most of it's executive board was made up of...

    Kangaroos

    That one died recently, at the ripe old age of 10. He was a bit of a tourist attraction for a while.

    I had to throw this clip in, it's one of my favourites.
