Sorry is there a problem with the suicide barriers I'm not aware of?

The ones on the Suspension Bridge in Northbridge are horrifically ugly and destroyed the aesthetics of a beautiful sandstone bridge.

fences should not be a replacement for mental health services, but they do have a demonstrable effect on preventing suicides so that's good.

Didn't you hear? If we can't 100% eliminate mental illness, there's no point in measures that reduce the incidence of suicide.

http://www.theguardian.com/technology/2015/dec/09/bitcoin-creator-satoshi-nakamoto-alleged-to-be-australian-academic?CMP=soc_567

quote:

The creator of the digital currency bitcoin, known only by the pseudonym Satoshi Nakamoto, is probably an Australian academic and entrepreneur, according to a new investigation.

Wired has alleged that Nakamoto’s real identity is Craig Steven Wright, a 45-year-old Australian it describes as a “climate-change denier, a serial entrepreneur ... and an eccentric.” Various attempts to prove Nakamoto’s identity in the past have proved unsuccessful.nn

Wired has linked Wright to bitcoin by several posts on his blog, starting with one published in August 2008 that mentioned his intention to release a “cryptocurrency paper”.

Another, published three months later, asked that readers used a PGP public key that has reportedly been linked to Nakamoto. A PGP public key is a unique string of characters that allows a user of that encryption software to receive encrypted messages.

In a now-deleted post dated 10 January 2009, Wright reportedly announced the launch of the beta of bitcoin “tomorrow”; Wired points out that Wright, living on Australia’s east coast, could have published the post after midnight his time on the night of 9 January, which would still have been before bitcoin’s launch at 3pm on 9 January in US time, when the currency officially launched.

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

quote:

“We can’t remain in denial about the massive problem within Islam,” Abbott wrote. “Islam never had its own version of the Reformation and the Enlightenment or a consequent acceptance of pluralism and the separation of church and state.

“It’s also time Australians stopped being apologetic about the values that have made our country as free, fair and prosperous as any on Earth,” he wrote. “It’s not culturally insensitive to demand loyalty to Australia and respect for western civilisation. Cultures are not all equal. We should be ready to proclaim the clear superiority of our culture to one that justifies killing people in the name of God.”

Turnbull rubbished the comments, saying the “vast majority of Muslims” were “appalled” by violent extremists such as those fighting for Islamic State.

I'm sure Cardinal Pell still thinks Tony would be a great fit for the Australian Catholic church.

Its just lovely here this time of year.
George Pell got called back to the Vatican because he's saved the church millions of dollars.

He got victims in Victoria to settle for $50,000 at a time when US courts were awarding payouts in the seven figure range.

He was a close ally of Benedict and the fact the new Pope has, far from throwing him under the bus, has brought him in to fix the books, says he's far too useful to ever face any kind of punishment.

you can actually inflate your scrote pretty safely with sterile saline, syringes, needles, and aseptic technique. its a niche kink iirc

the saline just slowly gets absorbed into your blood but in the meantime you got a big round smooth distended nutsack
