If nonexistance is counted as anything but a loss, it’s the best choice. Glock Ness Monster makes the most modern nuclear subs seem obvious and unsurvivable by comparison.
Except for the surfing, which is taking place in Tahiti. 'Course it’s not really “winter” there because it’s tropical, but still, it’s at the same latitude as parts of Australia.
I was talking to my dad about my job and how people don’t know how to use Linux. He said “Yeah, nobody uses that UNIX stuff anymore.”
Then I pointed out that his phone and his computer both run flavors of UNIX, since he’s been using Apple products since I made him switch by not supporting his issues with Windows, and that most of the websites and apps he’s using are running Linux on the backend.
And what always gets lost in these discussions is if that old Unix stuff was so amazingly good that we should automatically assume Linux is inferior for not doing it. Even though all the old Unix vendors are basically dead now and replaced by Linux. That might have happened for a reason.
The river eels are considered ‘trash fish’ to some here but they’re delicious, tastes just like Japanese eels. They’re just a bit of a pain to skin and prepare.
No, summer and winter are reversed in the southern hemisphere.
But more than that, the seasons aren’t even consistent within each hemisphere—the exact beginning and ending dates of each season vary from region to region depending on the local climate.
As an example, where I live near the equator we have seasons that are only a few weeks long. We alternate between “summer” and “winter”. The quotes are because the only real difference in our seasons is how much rain falls since neither the temperature nor the amount of daylight changes much. Winter seasons are cloudy and wet and summer seasons are sunny and dry.
So was that a comment from an Austrian thinking the Australian posts was about Austria? Or was that an Australian who misspelled their country’s name? Or was that an Austrian who knew the post was about Australia, but they just wanted to talk about Austria?
The concept of 4 seasons itself is very Eurocentric, and leads to the inaccurate belief that the seasons/climate are messy and unpredictable in Australia.
The native aboriginal peoples have their own season system for each region, which much more accurately describes the weather. For example, the aboriginal calendar identifies 7* seasons in Victoria.
*Edit for previously incorrect info which stated there were 6 seasons (different area of Australia)
found it the webpage it appears to have originally come from described it as being the Noongar 6 season calendar so the names on this chart are Noongar words from South Western Australia not from Victoria which is the South East, so maybe theirs are different.
Is some good ones, but it only covers one small part of the country.
Each mob basically has its own calendar, so you’re looking at tens or hundreds for the country. That one above for Victoria is different to my part of Victoria.
