Don't want to get too far into this but the above, at least in Victoria, is so wrong it needs correction. Assault, whilst a serious offence, in terms of severity/seriousness, is far below rape.

Assault is on a spectrum which then "progresses" up to negligently/recklessly/intentionally causing serious injury.

It is a long way short of rape. Traditionally, and still today, the only crime that "rates" worse than rape is murder/manslaughter.

I think we can leave this one there.

Thankyou for the legal perspective. I’m not sure whether domus meant it in the sense of the legal definition, but I certainly didn’t. I don’t actually know the difference between assault and battery, for example.

EDIT: Thinking on this some more, the legal definitions and associated severity/punishment are just society’s attempt to weigh the heinousness of various crimes, not really indicators of what is worse in and of themselves. Like AFL tribunal decisions, the outcomes are sometimes divorced from the intent. I think I could be comfortable in saying that the intent of a rapist, the wrong they have committed, is nearly always worse than someone committing assault. As for the effect, I think that would be less cut and dried, to use Good Horse’s turn of phrase.

And now I plan to stop talking about it because it feels really, really wrong in light of Good Horse’s posts.

I’m dismayed to hear that you’ve had that experience, but it doesn’t change my assessment as stated in the post you quoted. You’ve actually been there; I’ve treated quite a few patients with traumatic brain injuries, I disagree with you, it is what it is.

As for making qualifications I have always thought of assault as an umbrella term, you appear to think of it as being your specific experience, which is your right and privilege. I’m not covering for anyone, this is my assessment.

I only skimmed the second half of the other thread looking for tractor references. But wasn't it the threats of rape versus threats of assault. Whilst incredibly severe assaults can have horrific consequences - the threat of bashing someone is barely even taboo, it isn't close to the threat of raping someone.

This is my memory of it

Yep, well that being the case, and as I said rapes only start at the extreme end of the spectrum, you can only really interpret that one way.

I can perhaps imagine a scenario in which I might be compelled to assault a person, in an extreme revenge type scenario or just blind rage. I can’t fathom any universe in which I would be compelled to rape someone, or even threaten it.

In need of some bigger undies

I started work at my current role in January when everyone was still fully working from home so I got issued with some equipment to take home. Laptop, docking station, monitor, phone, cables etc. Now that we're returning to the office in hybrid working arrangements everyone has to return the monitor, chair if they took one (I didn't) and get their own for the days they work from home.

I had a good Samsung monitor up at the bush house with my spare PC so last weekend I bought that home, took the work one back the other day and connected mine up at home. FMD, picture is shit, flickering everywhere. So quick trip to office works yesterday, bought a cheap 22 inch and a new connecting cable as work wanted theirs back too. Got home and before I put the new monitor up, I connected the Samsung one with the new cable. Perfect picture. It was the cable that is faulty.

Ah well, I won't return the new one, I'll take that up to the bush house next visit and leave it there.

If your graphics card supports it you can run a dual monitor desktop. Very cool.

The quality of different HDMI/DVI cables can vary (they measure attenuation) and it should be one of the first things we check if the screen starts to flicker.

Loss of color accuracy and brightness is how monitors behave when they start to die.

No idea about DVI, but HDMI cables are ridiculously temperamental.

DVI much less so but a shyte cable is a shyte cable.

Yeah, the work thing is a Surface Pro. At home I have the 2 screen desktop with the display on the laptop and the big monitor, at work it's a 3 screen desktop.
