On a bit of a sidenote (but slightly related) how exactly does someone who is young and broke afford to travel? I'd love to. I've always wanted to. But I can't travel. I can barely afford to live half the time. Let alone drop everything and somehow afford the travel costs to actually get around somewhere. And as for the farm life being tough. At least if you are constrained or struggling its probably for a reason ie to feed yourself/survive. So much of modern society just feels really pointless. maybe thats why Nibbana is looking to be self sufficient too?

I think the peer review process is said to be anonymous. I don't think there is much anonymity at all. And this whole thing points out some issues There are more cases of this exact thing too https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SCIgen

Could not agree more with this Far too easy for people to be biased based on who they are marking. Not what I thought science was about. It's a real shame.

I Prefer

Officially peer review is anonymous and you don't know the people doing the review... Unofficially its two people that look through your manuscript to decide whether it sounds legitimate or not and there are many (if not most) cases of PhD candidates and their mentors having a good old chat with the "anonymous peers" reviewing their thesis. But just unofficially ;)

I think its called the Australian dream because its out of reach. Just a dream.

With 10K there is land around the place you could buy It's not ideal land but it is land and it's workable. I'm in a similar spot as you guys just minus the $10K. Would love that. A few years back was in the exact same spot. I think you're lucky enough to not yet have your spirit broken by the world. And hopefully that doesn't happen. I cant give advice though. If I could I wouldn't be in the same position.

Bachelor of biotechnology is what I'm doing

I didn't think it was obvious. In fact why is it obvious at all? What is magnetism? What are magnetic frequencies? How are there "pseudo-magnetic frequencies"? Are they almost magnetic? I'm not taking the piss. They are valid questions. Your intuition is not obvious to me.

Wine telemarketing does suck a lot. Was less stressful though lol Reading alot of this kind of makes me feel like im not even cut out for society. Makes me wonder why I picked uni in the first place If I'm going to be struggling so long doing things that are a waste of time I should have just stuck with working in a pizza shop. Volunteering hasn't given me shit except for the fact that I wasted 3 months over summer that I probably could have achieved something in. Asking questions has only gotten me into trouble. Being enthusiastic has gotten me told to sit down stop asking questions and just wait like the rest of the class. As for travelling the world teaching english you can do that without a degree. If I got to the point of choosing that after however many years in university I'd be hating the world harder than I already am. Sorry for the depressing nature of these posts. Honestly don't really have anywhere else to rant about it and not many people to rant to about it that aren't going through the same shit or just don't care.

Ok I know what I'm passionate about that's not a problem So I am studying that and am finding that the university is outdated. I've tried volunteering, ass kissing, making connections etc. and all it has ended up doing for me is fuck all. I don't have the coin to go out to all of these balls and social get togethers etc. so that makes it pretty damn tough to begin with. Additionally how does one travel around the place if there isnt even any money or work to begin with? If I had the money I'd be setting myself up on a bit of land producing a variety of different things to then sell and keep myself funded. Big problem. How the fuck are you supposed to get land if it's damn near impossible to get work unless you just so happen to know some entitled wanker who can give you a job? Not ranting at you guys btw. Appreciate the feedback. Just pissed off at the whole thing. I've considered changing degrees before but still feel as though that will land me in a similar situation anyway. Really disillusioned because I thought I'd be going to an institution that encourages learning and critical thinking and endeavours to be as up to date as possible. I was totally wrong. I'm another number in a list of numbers that provides an insane amount of coin to a business so that it can fund the cushy lives of a few people. The curriculum is outdated but "standardised" (so it must be sweet right?) and any critical thinking contrary to what they've specifically taught you (even if it has, since the 60s, been proven wrong) will be penalised pretty fucking harshly. It is a joke

It wouldnt be having any crazy dramatic effect The land rises too. The water may rise marginally more but you'd probably just be better off with irrgation

My understanding of the physical universe would be different to yours as it would be different to thunders etc. It's also delusional to say that other people will never get an answer to it. Maybe you just doubt the capabilities of "us". lol.

Wheat is an awesome alternative. Buy it as chicken feed pretty easy. Cheaper option

Maybe you did and I forgot about it That sounds bloody ideal Can you put up small structures and stuff?

Hey guys Wondering if there are any generous members out there who have a little bit of excess land that they would be willing to share out for some development of a simple agricultural lab set up as well as some testing areas for sustainable resource production and value adding of waste resources. Im not in the position to acquire the land required to do what I want to do and I dont see that changing in the near future Just kind of hoping that there is someone out there who has the space and shares the vision of a more sustainable future as well as the potential for some profit. Thanks guys

For reals? Ill send you a message man

Why?

That sounds really awesome bigred Where about in SEQ roughly?

Until she flicked on the light

Oh thats sick man Dont even need much space. Just a little haha

In response to the vast majority of posts in this thread

I'm keen as on this. Don't have the posts but have been here for well over a year now Cheers

If they are lighting cigarettes up or burning them then with a focusing lens it should work fantastic for some slow etching of wood or cutting of cardboard or card.

And with a heat mat during winter you can have a 12 month growing season
