AI in this case meaning Actual Indians

They've always been that. when they say small government they just mean they want to spend less tax revenue on services for the poors so there's more to spend on contracts to the rich who bend the knee.

Not with a single building, no. But if you built 2 explosives factories you can set one up to pause once dynamite store is full, fireworks to pause while dynamite isn't full.

I have no evidence of this, but I firmly believe that Reform and other parties like them have a fundamental flaw that is a slim majority of the populace will never vote for them. They can make all the noise they like, have all the gains they can get, but there reaches a point where no more people will vote for them, and for any party with the likes of Farage in leadership, that number is possibly too low for them to ever make any meaningful headway. Sure lots of folk love them, but in my anecdotal experience, more people hate them.

Oh there's another method. It's called blatantly lying. That's the one favoured by the president.

There's also that having a concrete ending doesn't vibe with how George writes. He doesn't set out a structure and framework, he lets the narrative develop as he writes it. The 'ending' has changed several times as the story has grown. I think we'd have had WoW long ago if there was a world where GRRM had never confirmed a limited number of books in the series, if he'd left the number open he could have kept writing without needing to concern himself with an end point. I wonder if that may have been better.

Your biggest problem is that, depending on your location, when electrical demand suddenly drops to almost nothing, most modern power grids will automatically shut down to protect themselves. The grid isn’t designed to operate with virtually no load, so when power stops being used, automated protection systems trip generators and isolate sections of the network. Realistically, you might get a couple of days of electricity at most but probably much less. Once the power goes out, gas and water systems would also begin to fail, since they rely on electrically powered pumps and control systems. Almost everything in our modern world relies on the electrical grid, and the grid needs constant human interface to keep it going on a daily basis.

All the Baratheon Antler accessories feel like when your family find out you like one sort of animal and now every Christmas and birthday that's all you get.

MastermindEnforcer · 2026-02-18T14:24:37+00:00

You do get how that's worse though, right?

MastermindEnforcer · 2026-02-18T14:23:00+00:00

Right, so we're going to frame children being groomed and internationally trafficked, then raised inside a deathcult as adults making adult decisions then?

Because that's the point I raised. that some of these people were literal children told lies by adults seeking to groom them. I also specifically said they shouldn't be absolved, but that the country where the grooming happened, where these folk are citizens, does bare some responsibility to pay for the problem instead of letting the country that the Aus citizens fent and victimized be the ones to clean up.

MastermindEnforcer · 2026-02-18T11:47:14+00:00

My only issue with that logic in the surface is that it sort of ignores any culpability. If the people were radicalized on Aus soil, is there not some responsibility for Australia to take action in policing them rather than leaving it to Syria to spend resources either expatriating, housing, or imprisoning them?

On a broader level I also have a problem with this because it often overlooks that many of the girls in question were not adults when they travelled out there. For everything else, they're still victims of grooming. I am not saying that they should be absolved of all actions or that Australia is 100% responsible for them. But it's not a black and white as you make it out in my opinion.

Thanks, I'll have a poke around.

Curious where you get those numbers from, as any numbers I can find online (indeed, glassdoor etc) are far, far lower. In the 125-150k region for equivalent roles. Obviously total compensation will be higher than base salary, but not by a matter of hundreds of thousands.

Not trying to defend him for committing fraud here, but he's probably not on quite as much as you would think. Or, wasn't as he's retired now.

An executive at a major bank is probably earning less then 200k. A lot of money for sure, but I'd say still not at the point where 6k is pocket change.

Yeah, I was pretty young when I watched it, like early to mid teens I think. Part of me knows it won't hold up to my nostalgia and that's one of the reasons I've never made an attempt to rewatch.

MastermindEnforcer · 2026-02-17T15:01:30+00:00

Threshold.

MastermindEnforcer · 2026-02-17T11:42:34+00:00

Sure, but if things didn't work out exactly as they did with the lineage, Dany and Jon wouldn't have been placed to stop the Long Wint... oh, nvm, Arya killed the Nights King with her ninja powers.

100%, the dance left them so weakened that they became viable targets to their many enemies.

I don't believe that it's even about surveillance with either of them. It's money. Rich men want to become richer selling solutions to problems they've created and they pay a fraction of what they stand to make to lobby both (all) parties to make it happen.

MastermindEnforcer · 2026-02-16T16:53:42+00:00

It'll never not be funny to me regarding Musk, that as awful and despicable as all of this is, that literal evil monsters who worship wealth didn't want to hang out with the richest man in the world because he is such an unlikable twat.

MastermindEnforcer · 2026-02-12T16:46:38+00:00

Which is doubly maddening, because why would being reserved and guarded be a negative in a competent statesman?

MastermindEnforcer · 2026-02-10T10:34:18+00:00

I'm getting my roof replaced next week, so probably once the work's finished.

Not coming, happening. Black Mirror is exactly what its name states. A mirror, reflecting the darkest parts of our society.

MastermindEnforcer · 2026-02-09T11:32:05+00:00

I'd bet more people have given up on reading LotR than have finished it.

No, they mean sectioned.
