“not actively harmful” and “notionally the bare minimum” are pretty low bars and i’m glad that, for once in modern memory, mozilla cleared them

plenty of that on e621

imagine calling one of the greatest science educators of the modern era “plain stupid”

i read cringe instead of change and i think both readings are valid

geothermal typically uses chemicals other than water because they have a lower boiling point

the specific chemical being cheap is relatively unimportant if it’s a closed loop. the cost is next to nothing compared to the whole construction

my neanderthal ginger genes still work like this in the gay community

i’m from melbourne: the place that has the most notable implementation of hook turns

it’s much easier to think of it not as a turn, but as joining the lanes of traffic going in the direction you’d like to turn… you’re just slipping in front of them, and then follow their traffic lights

i mean, we should stop hiring business consultants to write software lol

there are small/local consultancies that actually do a great job: just like hiring a team of contractors

large multinationals with a focus on accounting and business with “oh also we do salesforce” is the real problem… they optimise their costs rather than focusing on quality

cheaper than fixing myki

no i’m saying that insurance has nothing to do with what i’m saying… government provided healthcare follows a whole different set of rules: i keep pushing back on that point and you keep bringing up insurance, which i agree would show absolutely nothing

however anything that has the government paying for it has has to pass significant hurdles before it gets added to the list of approved treatments - scientific hurdles; not just hand wavy nonsense

chiro might be unregulated where you are, but in australia it is regulated as a medical profession: https://www.chiropracticboard.gov.au/ which is part of AHPRA - the australian health practitioner regulation agency: https://www.ahpra.gov.au/

australia’s notes all have tiny signatures of the governor of the reserve bank, and the secretary to the treasury and have for at least as long as i can remember… i don’t think it’s a vanity thing in that case

that seems… unlikely, just because of the labour cost to change the batteries compared to a DC power supply and plugging the shelves in
