The Palace Nova East End still runs the Ex-IMAX screen, but not with IMAX prints to my understanding.
So you can see it big, but it won't be that exact resolution and sound mix.
The US (which is where I assume you are), has the second largest one in the world in current operation:

Short answer, it scales fine.
Now you need to find someone to pay for it.
It seems wild to commit to something before we’ve really tried it.
There's been lots, either recognised or appointed by the government over the years.
And whenever they become inconvenient (publicly saying things the Government doesn't want the public to hear), the Government of the day dismisses them.
The whole point here is to institute a body that can
The Government of the day doesn't have to do what The Voice says and the The Voice has no veto - but they do have to publicly acknowledge what has been said to them.
The Back to the Future trilogy is good for a re-view.
I was on a customer site with a laptop and no internet access.
I tried to use my preferred diff tool meld to compare the current configuration file with the backed up copy and meld just wouldn't start...
Turns out an update of windows had decided it was evil and removed it since I'd last used it, silently as far as I am aware.
This is straight up evil as far as I'm concerned.
I am now inspired to search for a way to disable that though.
Thoughts about Grace's sacrifical acts:
spoiler
I think there's a big difference between sacrificing yourself for unknown others, when someone else could potentially do it (or you can convince yourself of that) and knowing that someone you know and care about personally WILL DIE, and NO ONE else can do anything about it.
Grace was always a good person, it's the personal stakes that changed.
I'm not against Nuclear, go for it.
It's not cost competitive, so I don't think the government should be subsidizing it, but I say we reduce the laws banning it to merely enforcing strong environmental protections (as we should on all things).
Let's say we did that today.
Let's assume you already have a site picked out and ready to go, and that no protestors are going to stop the build.
It'll still be 10 years before it turns on and produces it's first watt: https://www.climatecouncil.org.au/nuclear-power-stations-are-not-appropriate-for-australia-and-probably-never-will-be/
I'd be curious if you can find a source with a shorter build time quote, so link us.
In the meantime under this proposal, the existing coal plants are still going to shut down.
With the nuclear not ready to plug the gap.
So either the government pays for the construction of more coal (because no investment company or bank will touch it), or more renewables + storage is going to go in.
In fact, within a year we'd have some new solar and wind producing power, more in year 2, more in year 3 etc.
By the time the Nuclear plant passes it's shakedown tests, we probably don't need it anymore.
I've got strong opinions about which tech we should be going for based on ecological reasons, but the fact we are going to wind and solar + storage is based on pragmatic economic reasons.
Also, ANU has identified over 3000 promising sites for pumped hydro in Australia.
Some of them could probably be straight hydro I assume.
I'm not against those either, let's go!
Yes, but you would be seeing ALL posts from everywhere your instance knows about.
I kind of like the idea of being on lemmy.world, filtering to say aussie.zone and getting it to show me local.
Or being able to simply get a list of every community on another instance.
These are cool ideas.
It's actually the synchronous condenser's (of which SA already has 4) and grid-forming setting on the solar and windfarm inverters (which is literally just a configuration option).
I'm dissapointed that Chris Davies from AEMO is being portrayed as pro coal because it provides the necessary spinning mass, as if he's unaware that things like synchronous condensors exist.
Yes and no.
Canvas like that swag is warmer and tougher, so it'll survive more abuse and keep you warmer, and if you look after it, you'll still be using it in 20 years.
I love my swag.
So, where are you getting changed? Where are you putting your boots when you climb in at night? Are they joining you in the swag?
I carry a thick shopping bag so that I can wrap up my clothes and boots etc and keep them out of the weather yet outside the swag.
This involves me clambering into my swag in just by underwear, more than once whilst it was starting to rain. 🤷♂️
A tent on the other hand, you can get changed, in the dry, out of the wind, bundle everything up in the corner...
There's trade off's here.
But it sounds like you already want a swag, and I'm not going to try to talk you out of a good life choice.
There's lots of situations where I use my swag, such as when I need to carry my camping gear on my motorbike.
But if it was a purchase choice of tent OR swag, I'd be getting the tent.
I regularly use my swag IN my tent.
These animals, especially the camels, thrive in inhospitable areas.
It's an unfortunate reality that it's not financially viable to collect the bodies.
Every now and then someone get's the idea of rounding up all the feral cattle in the NT.

That's not going to happen either.
