Yep. Doesn't matter if you're the biggest redneck or the greenest hippy on the street the common factor is everyone wants the lights to stay on and they don't want to pay through the nose for it. Solar has already won, we can't even come close to touching it with any other tech.

Yep. Great idea and seemingly decent implementation. Even with some hiccups the net benefits will be unmatched to any other energy policy for the price.
Haha that's amazing. I hope you enjoyed them, the entire concept of never questioning authority (in all meanings) seems to have pitfalls that have trapped too many of today's society into polarising views with no concept of nuance. If more people had read these books the world would probably be a better place.
Now let's just hope Pullman can get the last book out this decade! He better not pull a Robert Jourdan on us!
I assume they disliked the source material. Which is a shame because they are amazing books.
I installed fedora to replace windows on the 31/12/2023. I wasn't a complete Linux noob by any measure but haven't run it as a main OS before. Thank you proton for getting me over the edge.
The whole repo situation on fedora is honestly pretty meh, things are out of date or broken too often. Or they just don't exist. I have put arch on a number of machines since and find it significantly better. My main box will move away from fedora next time I'm enthused to mess with it and this is the primary reason.
How can we reduce paracetamol poisoning? Better access to mental health services? Nah. Let's make them buy two boxes instead of one. That will do it.
What a joke.
Depends if you care about names or about physics. Radio, Infrared Gamma etc are just names we give to various parts of the continuous electromagnetic spectrum. The edges of these definitions are not super well defined. Changing from RF to microwave could be defined at say about 3 GHz, but there is not some clear physical difference between a 2.9 GHz photon and a 3.1 GHz photon other than the frequency change.
The lower limit to the frequency is I guess the inverse of the theoretical age of the universe/2. Something can't currently be oscillating slower than that.
There are some theories on plank length, quantisation limits, etc that might set some theoretical upper limit of photon frequency. But we don't appear to be anywhere close to observing such things. We have seen some rather crazy short wavelength particles that we haven't fully understood.
I stopped giving SSAA any of my money. I don't agree with most of their political lobbying stances, especially for reducing requirements around accessing firearms and legalising higher rate of fire guns.
Hasn't been any great loss.
I feel like this needs to be a PSA pinned to this community. Far too often it would say 2 comments and I would see nothing untill I did this.
You can get close enough in most situations by looking at bolt size, thread pitch and the material. Some level of intuition and knowledge about what each fastener needs to do is also helpful.
Even when in power and offering cash incentives, the LNP couldn't convince the power industry to extend coal power plant lifetimes or build new generators. Renewables have already won the free market, they will likely never be beaten in our lifetime. Good fucking luck getting any company that wants to actually make money to invest in nuclear.
The only reasonable argument left for nuclear is the baseline and storage argument, but again the writing is on the wall, industry can see the trajectory that batteries and storage tech is on and know that by the time they spend 2 decades investing in current gen nuclear, it will probably be beaten by storage in the free market anyway.
Whilst trace lithium is important for many biological functions, it seems unlikely to me that a particular tree would require significant quantities of lithium to thrive.
Having a quick google it seems the issue is a particular forest that exists in a place that companies wished to prospect for lithium. I couldn't find any evidence of a high lithium dependence for Jarrah trees.
I would be very surprised if it's not possible for us to mine lithium deposits and also have healthy forests. Though typically companies just care less about flattening acers to get to the money making rocks.
