If wishes solved the whole “island with barely a tenth of the requisite population” problem, sure.

That’s why your union demanded paid breaks.

Actual science is visually pretty boring (i.e. staring at a computer) - the symbolic trope of lab-coats/flasks/chalkboards/microscopes is still identifiable/relatable.

a few things to think on:
* your anger is righteous
* you are not alone
* electoral politics has failed you again
* our political class has repeatedly shown they only respond to money and terror
* you will never enough money for them
solidarity to all who want to fight #auspol

You know the mining companies aren’t nationalised, right? How much extra tax do you think they paid?

You act like there’s nothing to be done about the NRA but a mid-sized Facebook group could have them lobbying *for* restricting gun sales inside a year.
The board of the NRA was chosen by less than 400k members who bothered to vote.
For about $18m total, half a million Americans who support gun regulation could buy complete control of their biggest opposition.

@AusQuake got some activity in Hobart, or have I had too much coffee? 🫣
Radiant (bulb/bar) can save by only heating you and the stuff immediately around you instead of the whole room and the air in it.
They’re mid-priced and pretty safe - just don’t slack on testing your smoke detectors.
It also means you’re more likely to run it for longer than you need it.
Unfortunately the only more-efficient electric space heating option is heat pumps.
The oil heater efficiency is a myth, the “taking a while to heat up” is exactly the same power drain as “putting out heat when it’s off” is a benefit.
Replying to @ArtistAffame @PhilCygnus
Electric space heaters all have the same efficiency for power -> heat, it’s about 100% because that’s the only thing the power turns into.
Electric W = heat W.
Fan heaters spend about 1% on running the fan, but also put the heat where you’re using it more effectively.
FYI people without homes are still people, maybe showing a little compassion and humanity in your own community would help with your “not feeling safe” problem.

Betsom’s Hill in Kent at 245m isn’t as tall as The Shard.
With a few outliers, the UK is flat within tolerance of any terrestrial transportation; and certainly to the point of not limiting the suitability of cycling.
I suspected there was something to that date range but couldn’t think of it, thanks for the context.
Interesting that the companies that are investing literally billions in algorithmically monetising attention are censoring you.
Either that, or you get low impressions because an actual machine thinks you’re boring.
Probably the censorship thing.

I’m assuming you mean “per capita” because all the other figures on that page clearly show that in a representative (median) year the US is the only country they cherry-picked with a non-zero rate.
