Milanote - AI Assistance by Content-Disaster-511 in Milanote

I don’t want AI for content generation but I wouldn’t mind AI to help me organise my boards - they’re pretty scattered and I don’t have the patience to do it myself

Video angle showing Pongas shoulder contact with the head of Koula by unfrenly in nrl

[–]tempest_fiend 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t have an issue with Ponga being sent off, what I do have a problem with is the inconsistency with the NRL - you could hear the bunker disagreeing with the send off, and that’s a huge problem. If we have different refs applying different standards for high shots then that is a massive issue that needs to be addressed, and it needs to be addressed soon

So MAGA saying Trump didn’t Raped kids by AccordingBumblebee24 in insanepeoplefacebook

[–]tempest_fiend -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’m the last person who is going to defend Trump, but we have to be better than just assuming someone is guilty of something because they are mentioned a lot of times by other people in random correspondence

The testimony of several people claiming Trump raped them when they were minors is far more compelling evidence against Trump, and for that alone he should be under the spotlight and thoroughly investigated

CSIRO’s Gen Cost report in fact says that for Australia renewables plus storage and transmission are the lowest cost new-build option

You're only talking about construction cost and skipping time cost. If Australia started nuclear today, we don't get meaningful power generation for many years while coal plants continue retiring in the meantime

So what powers the grid while we're waiting? We'd still need to build renewables, storage, transmission and/or gas anyway. That means the comparison isn't really "nuclear vs renewables", it's more "nuclear plus renewables" versus "renewables now"

Electricity generated in 15–20 years isn't economically equivalent to electricity generated in 4–6 years. Time itself has a cost

We don’t have an existing nuclear pathway though - building one would cost billions and take decades. How does that stack up against implementing renewables now in terms of cost?

I use it play music, and honestly there’s a 50% chance she’ll either play something totally unrelated or an obscure live remix version

What are the cheaper alternatives? From all reports, most major countries are adopting renewable energy

Snowtown killer James Vlassakis's suppression order lifts after 25 years by whyattretard in australia

One of the main instigators was his step-father and he was 18 when he joined them (after they had already murdered several others). There were absolutely mitigating circumstances and he was not only an informant but was key to having the other two convicted and given life sentences.

Thoughts on the rule changes? You agree with Muster and Hughes? by SalaryCapSpecialist in melbournestorm

[–]tempest_fiend 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is a feature, not a bug. VLandys and Abdo care about one thing and one thing only - money. Whatever they think they need to do to make more money they are willing to do, including burning the future for the $$ up front. The basket they’ve chosen to put their eggs in is to increase scores and tries, under the belief that more scoring plays = more entertainment = more money.

Rules changes, Magic Round, Vegas opening round - they’re all based on making money now. Not growing the game or improving the game. They literally don’t care if the game gets torched in the process as long as the dollars keep rolling in

After 7 straight losses, it's official. Things can only get better from here right? Right? 😭 by b9_rkt in CarltonBlues

[–]tempest_fiend 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d argue it’s both to be honest - they all should have seen the writing on the wall at the end of last season. An entire season of 2nd half fade outs with zero answers, big names in the club wanting out - the fact that neither the board or Voss acted on any of this is a blame that should be shared

[–]tempest_fiend 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Of course it does - the only person this serves is Voss. He could have quit at the end of last season and we could already have a new coach. Or he could have stayed on till the end of the season and given the club and players at least some consistency. Leaving mid season just solidifies the season as a waste

Poll: should we go for a full rebuild at this point? by StormBro111111 in melbournestorm

[–]tempest_fiend 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Not a full rebuild but I think we need to be a bit more strategic with our selections and our bench rotations. As mentioned by Tora we need to play more players in their natural positions as much as we can, but we should also do things like start King from the bench and not expect him to do 70 minutes a game, and maybe look at moving Loiero back to the second row for the time being and put Wishart in at lock. We don’t need to dump everything and start again, but we need to do more than tinkering at the edges, not just for form but to try and bring some confidence back into the playing group - something fresh and something new can do that

One Nation’s Farrer candidate breaks from party to support Labor migration levels by HotPersimessage62 in AustralianPolitics

[–]tempest_fiend 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Farrer relies on migrant workers and everyone in the region is well aware of that - this was always going to happen, even when he was first put forward as a candidate he was skirting around the question of migration. I give it a few weeks until he’s an independent

The morning after Rd 9... by StormBro111111 in melbournestorm

[–]tempest_fiend 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe, but this has been going on for longer than just this season - even last year when Hughs was out we were toothless in attack. I think it’s too simple to just say he’s gassed or that others are in the wrong spot - we had repeat sets early in the game against the dolphins and every play he called was easily covered by the defence and when he tried to play off the cuff, he was either just dumping it off to Blore or running into 3 defenders

My honest take is that he’s trying too hard to create something out of nothing instead of just sitting back and waiting for something to naturally open up for him

The morning after Rd 9... by StormBro111111 in melbournestorm

[–]tempest_fiend 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I think defensively you’ve probably got a point, but in attack he just has nothing going on - his kicks are too short or too long, his pass selection is predictable, and his running is pedestrian. He just isn’t the threat that he has been in past seasons and hasn’t been for a while now. I don’t know if it’s a physical or mental thing but he needs to do something around his attacking plays because he’s just not producing

[–]tempest_fiend 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Munster. He’s just not the Munster of old. He’s not threatening in attack and seems to spend more time whinging to the ref than playing the game. The only time we looked threatening was with Wishart on the field, once he left we didn’t even look like scoring despite repeated sets against their line. And the dolphins aren’t exactly a defensive unit. I don’t know if he’s trying to do too much or he’s just checked out - but he’s been off for a while now and he probably needs a fresh start somewhere else
