Back in 1909 The Protectionist Party and Anti-Socialist Party put aside their differences to take on the Labor party, which was seen as Socialist.
The founders wanted freedom (Liberty) from what they saw as Labour Union dominion.
Funnily enough, an actual Libertarian party has since popped up and the Liberals challenged their name with the AEC, which as I said is funny because the Electoral Commision correctly pointed out that if ANYBODY has an incorrect name, it’s the Liberals.
I can’t read it any more either.
Paper Tiger had a kitchen fire a few days ago and will be temporarily shutting down according to their Instagram.
Now B’Churrasco has had a fire.
It needs to be mandated that if you own a rental, it will have a battery and solar setup of a minimum size.
Otherwise renters are a key demographic that will miss out on this.
8 guys on 4 dirtbikes can scatter when a drone starts swooping.
The lada only scatters AFTER the drone hits it.
Finamp beta works with android auto (although I’ve experienced a bug when starting finamp from the android auto screen).
Hopefully the current Hackathon makes it even better: https://github.com/users/jmshrv/projects/5/views/1
The people that set the price floor currently are the coal burners.
The contracts that they sign with AEMO is why AEMO keeps curtailing the large wind and solar farms, this is why various jurisdictions are getting the ability to stop houses from exporting power.
The maths of supply and demand are tricky when you can literally curtail your competitors supply.
Lower peak prices will have corresponding higher peak prices.
Part of the reason we have the current extreme lows is because the coal that we currently need cannot be turned off and on easily.
In the long term, when we have sufficient storage to time+geo-shift the required cheap renewables to where they are needed, yes, everyone will benefit.
In the next 10-15 years, I predict massive problems as the existing coal infrastructure is run way past end of life, regardless of our eventual goal being Nuclear or Firmed-Renewables.
The only certainty is that coal is a shambling zombie.
I do predict the connection fee going up, and if enough people disconnect (which they will at a certain price point), I see the connection fee being rolled into people rates like the local bin collection - you’ll pay whether you use it or not, just because it goes past.
A wide range of experts, including a former RBA deputy governor, are calling for the federal government to introduce household battery subsidies to encourage uptake.
This is suggesting that we use taxpayer funds to offset the installation costs of people who own a house and likely a solar setup already - further reducing their running costs.
But as battery uptake increases, there will be less demand on the grid, so the per kW/h and daily connection fees are going to increase.
So any tax paying renter gets to benefit from this by… paying more for their electricity?
To paraphrase Joe Hockey (and the broader Liberal party), I guess “Poor people don’t use much electricity.”
Ooh, to quote that ball of shit honourable former MP again, maybe they should “Get a good job and buy a house”.
Crisis Averted \s
This is a form of terrorism.
Canberra should be demanding public apologies from China, not because they authorised it or could even stop it, but to show they don’t condone it.
But instead nothing will be done.
Strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony.
You can’t expect to wield supreme executive power just ’cause some watery tart threw a sword at you!
I mean, if I went around saying I was an emperor just because some moistened bint had lobbed a scimitar at me, they’d put me away!
Vegemite?
Couldn’t we just go for nuclear tipped ICBMs like civilized people?
We’re not animals.
By the end of Trump’s term
So, when he dies?
Because if ever there was US president who intends to try for “President for life”, it’s this guy.
I deleted it and resposted it in the proper place in this same thread - I accidentally responded to the wrong person.
Edit: omg, hahaha
They have good cause to believe you’re a Signal user, so they get a judge to authorize a subpoena based on your phone number, and Signal complies - and, yes, all they’re doing is confirming to the FBI that you have an account with them.
Literally all they need to do is have their own phone with Signal installed, and then create an address book listing with the Suspects phone number on it.
Next time Signal syncs, it will pop up “Suspect is on Signal!”.
Subpoena-ing the Signal Foundation is not required.
But it proves nothing, and if you are in a jurisdiction where the police can demand your phone or you are stupid enough to hand it over when they can’t, that’s not on Signal.

This is fantastic.
Tradie doesn’t want to be watched while they work.
I want to learn by watching, so I’ll hire someone else.
We both get what we want.
The OTHER thing that could cause stuttering is if it needs to be transcoding and that transcode is happening slower than realtime (unlikely to be happening here).
You’d look in the logs for a transcode log for this sort of thing:

if the speed drops below 1.0x, you’ll stutter.
I can’t think of a standalone gui app that does this (and a simple google search didn’t find one).
If you have a gui desktop (gnome,kde,xfce,lxqt,enlightenment,budgie…) it will have a built in function in it’s settings to do this, or leverage one of the parent ones (ie budgie is based on gnome, lxqt on kde).
If your custom environment is pared down to the point where you don’t have an equivalent to gnome-system-tools and don’t want to install it, you might have to just use date at the command line.
Honestly sounds like a job for a Raspberry Pi Zero.
Small battery pack and a USB key, a bit of software setup, off you go.

The concept of direct brain interface is both exciting and terrifying.
We struggle to secure offline systems against determined attack, and my brain is not a test bed.
