Nuclear was always going to be a gambit.

They would’ve been better off just being laggards. “Clean” coal et cetera.

It’s not that dirty, just how campaigns are run now.

This is pretty radical economic policy.

Is there any research supporting all of this or just the vibe?

Labor ran on negative gearing reform and we got morisson.

Yeah this really sucks.

Especially the proliferation of American style ute’s in recent years, like we’re the only two places in the world that will tolerate the emissions.

I’m also surprised about China, not for any other reason than their track record on pollution hasn’t been great.

I think most jobs are like this.

The entry level stuff is pleasant and manageable and easy, but if you progress far enough to make money you produce value by managing unsolvable problems which is stressful, frustrating, and difficult.

Loads of instances do not federate with hexbear.

Surely it’s only a good instance if you’re happy with a much less federated experience, to say nothing of the usual complaints people have of hexbear users.

Fair enough.

The only reason things burn up when they enter the atmosphere is because they’re moving so fast that the friction from the air generates too much heat.

So yes, if you slow yourself down enough then you could just float down like a feather in the wind.

I have no idea how fast is too fast.

The answer to this depends on how much the magic device with the oxygen weighs.

Also just going to set aside anything to do with sky diving and space suits and having friends and everything else that I don’t know anything about.

I only know this from playing Simple Rockets on android but basically you direct your thrust in the direction you’re moving in order to reduce your velocity, and you’ll fall down to earth.

Think of an orbit as the balance between falling towards earth and zipping past earth. If you fly past too fast then you just fly past and maybe the gravity pulls you a bit but not much. If you fly past too slow the gravity pulls you down to earth and you crash. If you fly past at the same speed you fall towards earth the two directions balance out and you end up just spinning around earth.

Therefore, If you’re in a stable orbit on the space station, and then you slow down, you’ll start to fall down towards it instead of “falling” around it in an orbit.

If you only slow down a little bit you’ll start moving towards Earth but you’ll be moving way too fast for an unshielded human to enter the atmosphere without burning up.

You’d have to slow yourself down, by directing thrust towards the horizon you’re headed towards, enough so that you’re not going fast enough to burn up.

Whether or not you can slow down enough, quickly enough, depends on how much thrust your magic device can provide and how much that device makes you weigh.

There’s a number of problems with this.

It would only work if enough communities and instances adhered rigidly to similar editorial decisions about what is “political”. I don’t think that’s achievable.

Mods would have to do the heavy lifting in tagging/ untangling things.

It’s not going to be as simple to implement as you think.

Posts are already categorised by community. You can block the vast majority of political posts by blocking a few communities and users.

At times if filtered out keywords like Musk and Trump. You don’t really need to implement a feature for this. Just get posters to include a tag in the title of their post.

Looking at your other comments, you’re not going to be deterred by these criticisms, so my suggestion would be to find the git repo and create an issue to get some proper feedback from other contributors.

Old mate didn’t provide any fascinating insights into the manufacturing practices of soviet era communism, they just trotted out some meme-level anti-capitalist vibe-based hyperbole.

I’m not going to engage in a silly argument about the merits of communism as opposed to capitalism.

I think most places keep a brush in the toilet in a fancy caddy. That’s because the expectation is that everyone scrubs any skid marks before leaving.

I suspect that the plunger is to do with standard sewage pipe guage rather than just “shoddy” workmanship or whatever. That’s why bidet spray is more or less mandatory in South East Asia, the sewage pipes just aren’t wide enough to handle toilet paper.

Water bottles for bikes suffer from this.

You gotta get them really dried out really regularly.

Like if you only have one that you use every day it’s just going to get gross no matter what.

It needs to be bone dry for a few days to kill everything.

If you have 2 and switch once a week, the one that’s out of rotation will dry out and any funk will just die off.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a plunger of any kind kept in someone’s toilet.

Is this an American thing?

Weird take on counter tops.

Things designed for many people to use need to be the best height for most people. I feel confident that most countertops are the best height for most people.

I acknowledge that they are too low for a tall person, and that they’re too high for a short person.

You’re pretty much just saying you want things to be designed for you and that everyone else should adapt to you, rather than you having to make concessions for others like everybody does.

I agree with you, but I’m not sure how great it would actually be.

I don’t know much about it and I suspect others will be along to correct me in a moment, but wasn’t this a feature of soviet era communism?

As in, capitalists all compete in a free market to produce the best chair for the lowest price. Communism is more efficient because we just direct a factory to make 2 types of chair, standard and deluxe.

I’ve had these dual wall glass mugs at home for a few years. So civilised.

2. Pat dry with TP

The tricky part with phase 1 is managing water pressure. Too little is ineffective. Too much blasts shit everywhere.

Do a test squirt into the bowl so you know what you’ve got to work with. Start with low pressure to get most of it, adjust angle of necessary, then hit it with everything.

Office 365 too
