We have ranked voting in Australia. It works pretty well.

It’s a normal sized guitar and an unusually large cat.

Both ISO8601 and RFC3339 are YYYY-MM-DD. The difference is in how the date and time are separated.

You’re just saying that all comparable systems are also horrible. VTOL fixed wing aircraft are expensive and unsafe unfortunately.

That’s just how good you are.

It’s a genuine biosecurity risk in Australia. Australia (and NZ) are very susceptible to pathogens from outside so this kind of thing is taken very seriously in both countries.

Cars should be taxed proportional to the fourth power of their kerb weight, in line with the road wear they cause.

Which makes the Range Rover about 40x the road wear of the Citroen C3.

In other news only 40.01% of Australians care about US politics.

Well it’s not really a gun game. So not guns.

If you go into this game for the gun combat you’re probably playing the wrong game.

BHP was the one behind the weak messages attributed to the yes campaign. They deliberately played this one to lose.

I’ve seen The White Stripes live at a festival and honestly they were one of the tighter acts there. Sure, they choose to use a lo-fi sound but the actual playing was pretty great.

Even the theoretically recyclable ones don’t usually get recycled because it’s economically unviable in most cases.

Sadly, a very low percentage of plastic gets recycled anyway. In my country recycling company stats say only 10% - 20% of collected plastic is recycled. But the reality is much worse than that.

It turns out that nearly all of even that small percentage just gets shipped to a poor country for recycling because it’s too expensive to recycle here. Once it’s been shipped it’s considered “recycled” but since recycling is expensive the company receiving it just takes the money and quietly landfills it in their own country.

The reality is that plastic recycling barely happens at all.

Some people catch it but never see any symptoms so they don’t even know they had it.

Even if that’s true AI isn’t just LLMs. Saying that all AI is a surveillance technology is just stupid from a technical standpoint - you can train AIs on whatever data you like and it doesn’t have to be surveilled data. Adding to that there are plenty of non-LLM AI technologies that have nothing to do with data gathered by surveillance.

Godot has C# as an option.

He literally was paid a shit-ton of money by the pentagon to provide service to the Ukranian military. He took the money. And then he’s like, “how could I have known they’d use it in WAR?”

It’s pretty obvious he got paid by the Russians to sabotage that operation. Which makes him an enemy agent against the US I guess since he sabotaged a military asset the US paid for.

A firearm is a device with limited applicability. Its one purpose is to harm things.

If it was designed to unscrew things then it’d be a screwdriver. But it’s not. It’s a gun. It’s for shooting things dead. It’s one purpose is patently obvious and any attempt to say “but you don’t have to shoot things with it” should be met with the derision it deserves.
