.ml users: visible confusion

I’m guessing a pouch cell counts as ‘one cell’ vs. a larger battery pack with multiple cylindrical cells.

It also explains why Apple does that weird thing with 4-5 batteries in a macbook…

The businesses that won’t survive without tourism?

Still wouldn’t trust it.

It’s been a poop river for hundreds of years and they haven’t separated out sewer from storm water yet.

China has chosen to be the enemy the west and rules based order then.

Burn it all down. Entire world is done.

We had this in Australia too :(

Old Men… are the future.

They’re demanding it of Australia (not NATO, but we do have ANZUS) too.

Schapelle noooo…

The working world is very different from the laid back, very slow moving world of Academia.

Someone who has worked 8 years instead of studying has more experience and is therefore more valuable as a worker than someone with no experience even if they have a lot of knowledge and a piece of paper that proves it.

Vivaldi is basically just old opera without all the bullshit.

It’s a bit of a sticking point in Australia which is becoming more and more of a ‘two-speed’ society. Foxtel is for the rich classes, it caters to the right wing. Sky News is on Foxtel.

These eSafety directives killing access to youtube won’t affect those rich kids so much, but for everyone else it’s going to be a nightmare.

My only possible hope out of this is that maybe, Parliament and ACMA (Australian Communications and Media Authority, TV standards) decide that since we need a greater media landscape for kids and they can’t be allowed to have it online, that maybe more than 3 major broadcasters could be allowed.

It’s not a lack of will that stops anyone else making a new free-to-air network, it’s legislation, there are only allowed to be 3 commercial FTA broadcasters in any area.

I don’t love Youtube or the kids watching it, it’s that the alternatives are almost objectively worse. 10 and 7 and garbage 24/7 and 9 is basically a right-wing hugbox too.

US already has AEGIS - that’s figuratively skynet.

Navy even gave it control of some guns. (Phalanx CIWS, basically an M61 Vulcan minigun as a drone gun)

It’s almost like it was Musk’s grandfathers plan to annex Canada and Greenland… (it was, Joshua Haldeman and his Technocracy)

‘Cable TV’ (ie. Foxtel, Newscorpse’s own) is extremely expensive and only the very wealthy get it.

The vast majority of Australian households have Free-to-Air only. Which is the 3 major commercial networks (7- SevenWest Media, 9 -Fairfax and 10 -CBS/Paramount), ABC (State owned broadcaster) and SBS (semi-state owned, allowed to run advertisements, caters to foreign language broadcasting)

ABC Kids is great if you’ve only got kids under 5.

It just stays on all day, it’s generally all good content (except the petulant Peppa Pig)

But if you’ve got kids a bit older than that - your options are none and none. ABC really doesn’t do programming for schoolage and teenage kids anymore.

Right now for example - 5:54PM Adelaide Time, we’ve got Kangaroo Beach followed by Octonauts on ABC Kids, great for the under 5s.

But the rest of the channels of ABC are… Antiques Roadshow and ABC News… There is programming for under 5s and over 60s. Nothing inbetween.
