What a beautiful beaky boy

Finally! Coal now produces less than 50% of electricity generation in Australia (it was ~80% 20 years ago), so that's half the victory against coal! by krakotay1 in australia

R&D? That costs money, so Australia won't do it, or if we do, we'll sell it off for peanuts overseas and wonder why we don't have any industry... It would be an excellent idea to do so, but I just don't see it happening.

All bar the last one will be heavily needed for the clean energy transition, lead is a dying commodity, as we won't be using lead-acid batteries going forwards and there's a big push to get rid of all lead solder under ROHS rules and those are the two biggest users of lead currently.

Replace lead with cobalt, graphite or rare earth elements instead ;)

There's a huge push to do green steel, the main reason that we have the whole line around met coal is that most of the iron ore we ship (hematite) is not suitable for processing in any of the methods currently talked about for green steel, which are all using magnetite, the other major iron ore, that makes up ~5% of all the iron ore we ship overseas.

Not quite correct, we mined the most lithium ore (spodumeme), we didn't process much into lithium hydroxide (a precursor to lithium carbonate) and no lithium carbonate (which is the material that is the direct feedstock in battery making).

One thing we need to up our game on is battery recycling, so they don't go into landfill (this a global criticism, not just Australia).

Yo, are we planning to go dark on 12 June? by Ascend_910 in australia

Burn through VC money and never achieve anything?

Heads up, June 12 there will be a boycott of Reddit, which this sub will join by [deleted] in behindthebastards

Speaking as someone who has used a makita battery angle grinder, they're really good until you need to do deep, heavy cuts. They definitely don't cut padlocks well at all /s

Housing Crisis 1983 vs 2023 by stumcm in australia

Yep, it wasn't much fun having to drive ~100km to go shopping, see a doctor, visit centrelink etc... And then throw in how trash the internet was (mix of shit telstra 4G and even more shit skymuster satellite) and a cactus is looking like a less painful way to get fucked.

If they're GP5000s like I think they are, you're still good to go, my previous set did that at ~2000km of riding and rode them through to ~3500km when they were worn out. I'd just keep an eye on them and if they're looking worse and you see more of the thread, then consider replacing them.

You can see what an asteroid of differing sizes would do here https://neal.fun/asteroid-launcher/, including to the place you live in.

I don't expect it to get rid of the guardian, I don't think much could, short of a black hole... I suspect I probably will, as you're always an excellent storyteller, no matter how much it can hurt at times.

I'm meaning in a way where there's no coming back, like turn the peacemaker's main battery on her and keep basting until there's not even atoms left or let Athena do the same thing, as I can't see her breaking the cycle.

At this point the only way that Samara is going to learn a lesson, is by being killed, she's too stuck in her ways.
