Ok, oddly specific ask, but if ANYONE has one of these laying around doing nothing, can I buy it from you? Early 2000s Lucent wifi yagi. It's a nostalgia item, but it will be used. Throw me a message or something if you have one and don't want $250 for it.

A year ago, I saw someone open a book lamp in a bar. It was a pretty expensive product. Since I combine electronics and paper crafting, I had to DIY it and develop an easy-to-use circuit template and instructions for it. This educational project is perfect for […]

350 jobs on the line at CSIRO. This is despicable. Well done to Pocock for rightfully pointing out that “In opposition, Labor called for better funding, yet in government they are delivering cuts.” The hypocrisy. WTF are Labor doing?

Pretty remarkable how high Australia sits on the scale for lifestyle carbon emissions globally - and how little this gets mentioned in domestic climate discourse.

It's so impressive how consistent Randall has been over the years. Another good one, although I have to point out the reason Geology depts aren't OK is not that mountain hovercrafts, it's that departments keep getting decimated...
