Whatever the correct arrangement is, Hungary or Tajikistan need to be on the right side.

IIRC fuel quality standards in shipping were the cause. Less sulfur in fuel = more warming.

Better to feel the warming fast than to paper over it with other pollutants.

We have 100,000 Jewish people in Australia, a significant portion of which consider themselves Zionists. Anti-Zionist slogans are something the Jewish population (wrongly) finds threatening and Labor doesn’t have the political space to take the progressive side in every culture war.

In my country WFH is being enshrined as a legal right. And people say the party of trade unions is center-right.

Just make me CEO of a company. Surely I can’t do worse than the crop of people they’re currently finding.

I’d just start by building toilet stall without gaps in the door so wide that people can see into the stalls whenever they walk past.

Purely based on vibes, I think Mint takes security less seriously than Fedora.

Fedora v OpenSUSE.

IIRC it’s been mathematically proven that no single-member electoral system can be perfect. If it wins in one area it fails in another.

My preferred system is to use a standard ranked ballot, count it using IRV until every candidate has above 20% and then switch to ranked pairs (so there are no spoilers, but the daylight savings party doesn’t end up winning by default).

Proportional representation leads to total chaos at government formation, and in Europe it has largely failed to stop the far-right because it gives the far-right a platform by default. It’s not really a better system than STV. The best system is probably a mix between STV and condorcet.

I live in Australia. We have STV at federal elections and PR in Tasmania. Tasmania has gone from the strongest economy in the country to the weakest, as a result of PR.

Anything is better than FPTP though.

Please, just reflect the light away from earth instead of towards it.

Australia is particularly vulnerable to the summer sun, because the earth’s perihelion (January) is in Australian summer and American winter. The earth has a slightly lopsided orbit so the earth is about 5% closer to the sun in January than it is in July.

Americans and Europeans get a brighter sun in winter and dimmer in summer. Australians get the opposite.

The idea isn’t to replace the sun entirely. It’s to generate 100% sunlight for 1% of the area, and change the orientation of the mirrors based on who pays a subscription.

Those ships seem to be blocking out half the ocean, based on the image provided. I imagine greater access to sunlight, especially along the coast, will do wonders for the environment.

Anyone paying attention could have picked it up much earlier There’s the issue. We can’t expect every EV driver to have been paying attention to the politics of it’s manufacturer at the time of purchase.

Having a charger at work means you need a smaller battery, and a smaller battery would make the EV cheaper.

Overall home and workplace chargers would make a massive difference. EV’s are already becoming super cheap due to China anyway.

Also was among the things which got Whitlam couped. And it got John Gorton couped too.

I understand why.

It’s reasonable to interpret it as a call to abolish the state of Israel, which while based is also unrealistic and threatening to certain members of the community. Frankly the slogan is unnecessary and does more harm than good. It’s not as bad as “globalize the intifada” but it’s still not like they’re banning you from saying “free Palestine”.

GNOME feels great to use based on the 10 seconds I used it for.

But I don’t like GNOME for many reasons.

Regardless, my reply does explain why age verification on the internet is becoming a thing.

Australia pressed it, as a result of parents who have genuine concerns about social media addiction in kids (but who aren’t willing to do anything about it themselves).

And there’s also this which explains why the implementation is the most annoying way possible. If I had my way age-verification would be solely tied to the addictive features of social media, but if that were the case the big tech companies would just lose users and wouldn’t be able to insert themselves as an age-verification middle-man.
