  • Im not american but i wholly support AOC4POTUS2028.Or for a more catchy media bite: "A-O-C for the Presidency"

  • Not in a cult, have you tried Linux?I hear the occasional mention of that here.

  • For sure: fuck them, but this sounds more like a government corruption issue, laws should be in place to prevent businesses doing scummy monopolistic shit like this.

  • I assume you mean the fused plugs thing?In Aus we dont have those but we do have mandated all lighting & GPO circuits to be on RCD/RCBOs so thats reassuring. (Unless you have an old house that is grandfathered in and no works have been done requiring the replacement or upgrade of your switchboard since the laws came in)

  • You're tearing me apart lisa!

  • I saw some footage from footage from their recent shows and they look like they put on a fun show, and the years haven't slowed them down

  • The plastic straws thing drives me up the wall.They had to choose the smallest of possible plastic items to replace with the smallest impact (compared to things like plastic plates/cutlery or something). But paper/cardboard straws SUCK. Smoothies/thick shakes/juices/cocktails, its mush before your done or just straight up bends and snaps when you try to stir the drink after a couple minutes of bing in there. Plastic straws disappeared immediately but the lids for coffee cups and soft drinks are only just getting phased out now? Its like they did the absolute least possible and went "look at us saving the environment!". At least bamboo straws and other biodegradables hold up the whole way through the drink.

  • This is becoming an issue in Australia, we have high solar uptake but a lot of systems were installed before batteries were readily available earlier on or without batteries to save outlay. The result is that there is more energy on the grid during the day while nobody is home and the grid highly utilised at night, but there is less people paying utility fees & usage so the grid will soon become underfunded for repairs and expanding infrastructure.Its not a problem yet but there will be policy and taxing changes in the near future to account for this (similar to fuel exercise tax being shifted from being tacked onto the fuel prices to instead be some tax or licence fee as we shift to electric/green tech vehicles)

  • They are referring to the recent scotus backflip on the Chevron Deference, which in a really basic summary allows any old judges to make rulings on issues of regulation rather than the relevent government agencies and EXPERTS in the specific field.If i understand correctly things such as dumping chemicals into environment/drinking water/atmosphere can be determined by some judge in some random county for giant companies operating in their state.

  • Of course he doesnt, Archer voices Bob

  • Dude is fucking sharp, huge misfire on not backing him.

  • Thanks, ill check it out

  • Agreed, also i have no idea how deep he is in, but alcohol withdrawal can kill if people arent weaned off.

  • Autodesk for myself, apparently its super dependant on .net and other windows framework so its not like they are going to make it linux compatible any time soon.

  • All i can think is 'imagine if Bernie was 10yrs younger...'

  • Ironically in this case doing the job properly reduces costs significantly.Everything in the chain from the outlets, ductwork, damper, valves, condensers, pipes, tray, fans, component ratings & switchboards can be reduced to a reasonable size.Which then has peripheral benefits like reduced transport costs, crane lifts, space in service zones between floors/risers, materials & running costs of the completed building
