All three were heroes.

What’s often missed is that Peter Norman, the white guy on podium, encouraged Carlos and Smith to take a stand, and he was the one who had the idea to wear a glove each, since they only had one pair.

Norman’s role in the protest led to him never being selected to represent Australia again, even though he was at the peak of a brilliant career in running. He qualified for the 1972 Olympics, yet was mysteriously not picked to go.

The three men remained close friends, Carlos and Smith were pallbearers at Norman’s funeral in 2006.

(I hate to be the one making the Black rights protest about the white guy. He paid dearly for his role, and I also hate to think he’s remembered as the third wheel on that podium.)

Technically it applies if you don’t see them, but I think that would be a pretty good defence.

Where I live, you have to slow down if kids are in the school zone regardless of the time or date.

Have they called Bruce?

It sounds like they need to call Bruce. Where would you rather be?

You know the old saying, ‘Get a job doing the thing you love, and you’ll never work a day in your life!’?

That’s really bad advice. Get a job doing something you like, but not your passion. If you burn out on your passion, you’ve lost the thing that brings you joy.

They also make it harder for people who do break laws to get guns easily.

It’s worth mentioning that Pauline Hanson was there too.

Did you ever visit LA in the seventies? Because that’s a comment that could only come from someone who never visited LA in the seventies.

Out of interest, what was the life expectancy for someone living in the late Pleistocene?

Why would it be? Ireland has nothing to do with the UK.

Does Farage want another Australia?

Because the last time the British government tried this shit, we got Australia.

If you watch carefully you’ll notice that Gimli picks up the axe belonging to the Dwarf sitting next to him.

A school I used to work at had a folder with student passwords for various services at the front of the computer lab. If a student forgot their password for a service, they just went and looked in the folder. Maybe they’d even get their mates’ passwords for them while they were at it!

I did try to get the policy changed, and offered to teach staff and students how to use a password manager, but apparently remembering a single password was far too complicated, and it would make it much harder if you needed to log in to someone else’s account.

Don’t forget looking around the office to find a clue as to what the password is. It’s either the dog’s name or the owner’s favourite baseball player.

I get annoyed when websites say something like, ´Using a password of this strength will take a a hacker one million years to brute force.´

No, it’ll take a million years to try every combination and permutation of allowed characters. Chances are your password will be tried much sooner than that.

Yeah, younger generations use snap a lot more. When they want to interact with older people though, Facebook Messenger is the go. I don’t know any workplaces or community groups that use Snapchat to communicate with everyone, and not everyone has an iPhone, but getting on the work Messenger chat group is almost mandatory at every place I’ve worked at in the last ten years. My kids, who are Gen Z, have the same experience.

Facebook Messenger is the default messaging app in Australia too. If you tell any someone that you’ll message them, you mean you’ll find them on Messenger. If you have their number it might mean SMS, but probably not.

The app isn’t exactly optimised for finding content. There’s a lot on there, but it always takes me a while to figure out which submenu gives me the goodies.

Well, the Elves did hunt the Dwarves before they realised they too were Children of Iluvatar.

The Valar had fought a much earlier, much more cataclysmic war with Melkor in Middle-earth called the First War with Melkor, and there was also the War of the Powers during the Years of the Trees.

And the Eagles joined the Battle of the Black Gate before the Ring was destroyed. It was only a matter of minutes, but it still happened earlier.
