I thought they’d already released FrostPunk?

As an atheist I believe Jesus existed, I just don’t think he was the son of god or that he was resurrected.

It would have been far easier to start a religion around a real man with actual followers than if he was a figment of someone’s imagination.

It’s ridiculous. We are absolutely in the drivers seat to be a world leader in renewable energy and out of touch politicians want us to invest hundreds of billions of dollars in nuclear power stations like it’s the 1950s and we don’t have any other alternative.

Like every other government project there will a cost blowout, and it will overrun so by 2040 we’ll have a handful of half built nuclear reactors and the budget will be a couple hundred billion in the red.

We don’t have the expertise to build or run nuclear power stations, so we would have to import all of that knowledge and expertise until we can skill up. More money.

We have the landmass and the coastline to support solar, wind and wave generation. It will be far less complex, cheaper to build/maintain, we’ll be able to diversify energy sources and there is no toxic byproduct.

The Liberals fucked the NBN, fingers crossed they don’t fuck our energy future as well.

Because he doesn't care about religion, he’s just using them to get what he wants.

That’s such a 1950’s mentality, nuclear energy is the future!

It cost $500m to build RAC arena in Perth, construction of a nuclear power station will cost 10’s of billions, and we’d need more than 1. Who is going to run it? We don’t have trained nuclear technicians so we’d have to headhunt them from overseas in the short term until we can train local people.

Given we don’t have a nuclear power history, we’d be better to invest all that money in renewables. We have the land mass for solar farms, we have the coast line for wind and wave energy generation and there is no waste that lasts for 50,000 years that we have to store somewhere.

You know you don’t have to retire at 67, that’s just the age when you’re entitled to the pension. You fucked up or had some serious bad luck if your plan is retire on the pension. My mother-in-law is on the disability pension, she can just about afford her day-to-days bills, but anything unexpected we need to take care of it.

Assuming you aren’t a baby boomer, your superannuation should be enough to retire on, and at the moment you can get access to it at 60.

If you have built up a level of wealth that doesn’t rely on pension or super you can retire whenever TF you want.

Toyota has the largest stake in Subaru, so your down to Honda.

Turkish drones have found the crash site, the helicopter was on fire and there is no signs of life. They could very well be alive, but I doubt it.

The Iranian president has reportedly died in a helicopter crash.

NATO? Better to ask what is the UN for? They should have a standing army ready to slap down dictators and genocidal maniacs if they step out of line.

 

I have 2 windows/doors in my living room which have 3 roller blinds each (6 in total) that I'm in the process of automating. I have purchased and installed 1 Zigbee motor that goes inside the tube that can lift 4kg using 0.8nm of torque, this is working well and I want to buy the rest. A couple of the blinds are longer and I am considering a 2nm version which can handle 10kg. If install a mix of these motors will they all move at the same rate or will they operate at different speeds?

When I press the button I want all of the blinds to raise/lower at the same speed.

Any advice appreciated.

 

When browsing All it would be great if the app could identify in some way the subs I’m not subscribed to. Given there are now multiple subs with the same name, this would help to identify which ones I am not subbed to when scrolling.
