The first one should be the other way around. (As the Ukrainian proverb says, the only free cheese is in the mousetrap.)

Presumably, the reasoning goes, a falling cat would choose the deck of a Japanese warship over the open water.
In any case, they got a bit further along with dropping bombs filled with small bats implanted with incendiary explosives, which would then roost in wooden buildings. That project was only cancelled when they had atom bombs working.
- Comment on Where is he going, chat? 1 week ago:
During WW2, the US explored using cats on parachutes to guide bombs to targets. The idea never was put into practice, though.
- Comment on Melbourne airport ranked Australia’s least convenient 1 week ago:
As far as transport goes, that’s certainly the case. The slow victory lap the Flybus does down the freeway after having taken $24 from you does rub in the reality of its lucrative monopoly position.
Pretty much every other airport in a major city in the developed world has a fast rail link. Some have multiple. But in the Lucky Country, we don’t go in for long-term planning, because she’ll be right mate.

- Comment on The UK needs a new electoral system – should it copy Scandinavia? 1 week ago:
Australia may be a better bet. It preserves the culturally ingrained assumption that each electorate has one MP (at least in the main chamber of parliament), though these are elected using STV preferential voting. (There is an upper house which is proportionally elected per state, though it acts as a house of review, much like the Lords.) You also have compulsory voting (or at least showing up at a polling place or having a good excuse), which makes it harder for parties to win by riling up highly motivated fringe groups.

If it wasn’t for a bunch of snobbish Vikings who regarded badly spoken French as classier than those uncouth Germanic languages, we’d be making compound nouns with the best of them, and would have to find something else about the Germans to laugh at.

Doing their bit to preserve Slavic traditions.
(Yes, I know Romania is not Slavic, though they share the region’s squatting-in-tracksuits culture to an extent.)

Are there any which interface with different national banking systems and allow payment from those without going through the credit card payment infrastructure, which has become a universal choke point? Or are they talking about accepting Monero or something?

- Comment on Should Australia lower the voting age to 16 like the UK? We asked 5 experts 3 weeks ago:
Compulsory voting (along with preferential voting, a proportional senate and a permanent, nonpartisan electoral commission) is one of the success stories of Australian democracy. (Making showing up to vote — or formally lodging a reasonable excuse — compulsory makes declining to vote a deliberate act, and prevents anyone from winning merely by riling up a base of hardliners and counting on apathy on the other side, as happens often in the US.) Ditching it would be a retrograde step for Australian democracy.
