this is fine




So in human soccer, that'd count as a goal, since keeper dude is touching ground inside the goal, yeah?

You must clarify if this was a robo goal or not before I can decide how hard to laugh at it.

No it only matters if the ball fully crossed the line which it did not. Great save by the robokeeper.

Kind of. Sewage releases sewer gas (methane and related gasses). I would think the truck would have some sort of relief valve for pressure, or is supposed to. But, you know, russia.

In high school I was a soccer referee for a year and had to ref a lot of games between young children and can confirm this is the case, but I don't see any robot parents making the whole event lovely for everyone involved

It's the same in hockey except all those parents are extra mad because they spent a few hundred on the gear that their kid who is on the ice trying to make snow angels is wearing.

Update: 24 hours have passed and the site is still down, the opposition party is calling for the people in charge to be sacked and the prime minister has had to step in and assure everyone that the site hasn't been hacked but it was simply DDOSed into oblivion. People were supposed to fill in the online form sometime on Tuesday but the latest news is that they'll post an update on Thursday morning as to whether it'll come back up or not.

Note that they paid a private company half a billion dollars in public funds to "load test" the site and ensure something like this couldn't possibly happen. :v:

Half a billion dollars to stress test and they STILL fell to a DDOS? I mean, somewhere like Blizzard probably gets that much malicious traffic every day of the week and I'd feel safe to say their safeguards do not cost in the areas of half a billion to protect from this sort of thing for what was supposed to be a day.

I'm not sure facebook by default stores your full name, address, dependents, income, working address, age and potentially (via other govt sites) your tax file number. It's that kind of information that people really really don't want linked by a system designed to be accessed by the ABS whenever, not to mention kept for 4 years.
