Being the Australian government it will likely just end being some poorly thought out and bone headed ideas that mostly just making life more annoying or restrictive for normal law abiding citizens while doing nothing much to stop or deter criminals or big business from largely getting away with doing whatever they want and absolving themselves of most responsibility.
Diving was another use case for wristwatches that was also coming in roughly around the same time, even today a lot of the classic mechanical style wrist watches tend to be at least nominally designed for or historically based on either diver or pilot use cases.
There isn't really an official difference in designation it's mostly marketing or just popularised terms that people try to retcon to make a point of difference between the different use cases.
In reality there are various different mechanical setups of sending power to all four wheels which all have their various pros and cons and use cases.
I think AWD was originally a term made popular by Subaru marketing who described their constant 4WD system as 'Symmetrial All Wheel Drive' to make it seem a bit more different to the haldex style systems that were becoming increasingly common from the late 90s and were not constant four wheel drive but only sent power to all wheels on demand when the (usually front axle) detected some wheel slip and sent power back.
For anyone interested there is a book by Eric 'Winkle' Brown who was a British test pilot and probably flew more different types of WW2 (and other) aircraft than anyone else and has a lot of stories about how they were too fly.
From what I've read about WW2 Aircraft from that collection the P-51 Mustang and Spitfire are almost universally considered excellent to fly even by pilots of who fly them today, great performance, pilot friendly with few vices even when pushed hard. The B-25 Mitchell is one maybe not as often talked about but was and still is considered a great aircraft to fly with nice performance and handling characteristics.
There's plenty that could still fly well but did have some flaws or nasty vices when pushed to the limits in some cases, for example the BF109 was loved by it's experienced pilots and was quite a small and light aircraft with excellent climb peformance but also had a notoriously small, cramped cockpit with poor visibility and very narrow landing gear. Some absurd number like almost half of all BF109s were lost in landing accidents because it was so difficult to land.
What's particularly annoying is once the meeting is arbitrarily scheduled in for say an hour then many feel the need to drag the meeting out over that entire hour regardless of if everything important has been covered within 20 minutes. Along with this comes the annoying trend of the meeting organiser 'giving you time back' if they conclude the meeting slightly early as if they are doing you a favour for not running the meeting for the entire duration when really that should be the default.
I'll probably be downvoted for admitting this but I do quite enjoy the new X, the suggested tab is certainly full of crazy, unhinged conspiracy theories and obvious rage bait posts, it's like opening the door to an insane asylum, somewhat entertaining for a short time, you'll probably find a few things that challenge your views and there are some genuine gems of a post that come up there from time to time, but then I can always switch over to my following tab for just the more sober and sane accounts I follow and then it's basically back to the more old style Twitter feed of just accounts your interested in following.
Most of the other similar platforms tend to conform to a more politically correct, consensus enforcement style of a certain narrative, which is fine for the more fragile minded who dislike anything that might challenge their world view, but those places just ultimately become boring echo chambers full on a small ingroup that tend to become increasingly weird and unfriendly to outsiders and divorced from reality over time.
You, and many other people in this industry, are cooking your brain on a website owned by a literal white supremacist, and you think you're too smart (or whatever the opposite of "fragile minded" is) for it to happen.
Where you spend time shapes your thoughts, whether you like it or not.
This is a tired gotcha trope people repeat but it's not really true. The purpose of these algorithms is not to give you content that fits you the best. It's to give you content that encourages the most engagement.
You know what causes a lot of engagement? Unhinged conspiracy theories and obvious rage bait posts.
Ah yes, an artisanal menagerie of choice cuts from the most popular brainrot.
Blended just for you to normalize the worst parts of the internet. Add a drop of fascism into every feed and soon enough you don’t notice how down the rabbit hole you are.
But, no, you are too smart to get addicted to it. Not you. Everyone else, sure, but not you.
Most of the health nuts have since moved more to high fibre and with the increase in bowel cancer in younger people in recent years I can see that being the next health trend being added into all sorts of increasingly unlikely foods as with protein now.
