Because AI can be profitable within months (through increased share value) and can be measured immediately, whereas climate change takes ages and the cause and effect is nowhere near as visible. Or was that a rhetorical question?

This really confused me as an Australian. (Our colour bands are usually all set about 15° higher.)

I would have expected her to seek an audience with the police as soon as she found out about it, so they could explain themselves.

Instead the vagueness of her answer shows she has had no specific correspondence with them about it.

I mean, we can guess but i looked it up anyway. Marcia Cross seems to have just been vocal about helping Palestinians.

It is bizarre the people they've included as "nominees" when there are actual antisemitic white supremacists out and proud in the world.

Meat pies are similarly easy. Just whack a thick stew into a pie crust. Americans are sleeping on the meat pie!

With or without language, we already know whales lead vibrant, complex mental lives and understand that they exist.

If you expect better from the ABC, you haven't been reading their news articles much recently. Typos are common. I try not to get too bothered about it, but it does make me sad.

B-but Brion is ok in the end, right?

You know what, this rec gets a pass

Can't wait to read the book.

I'm fascinated by how this conflict has been described successively over my lifetime as settlement, colonisation, invasion, genocide and now a war. It's been a real change in perspective.

AI = blocked. Byeee

You'll actually gravitate towards all objects of any mass, but it's not as pithy sounding.

It's also because lower inflation doesn't mean low prices, just that they've stopped increasing quite so quickly. So everything's still expensive!

Thanks! I'm getting stuck into it.

The kids want to check the trustworthiness of a judge in a limo, someone presumably pretty well-respected.

I'd love to read more of that article, but the ads made it impossible. They cover the text and make the page jump up and down so you can't find your place! Madness 🫠

You seem to be unawarethat the quote is edited. The original is comparing a big mac meal to homemade sandwiches.

I hear France does a good submarine

I've seen people online put "Isnotreal" when questioning the legitimacy of the Israeli govt. Some (most?) of the Isreals will be typos, but some are also definitely intentional.

I'm not sure if you're joking, but you definitely can download all of wikipedia. If you leave out images it's not even that big (43Gb compressed). They have a how-to page with instructions: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikiped...

I use my brain for ideas

A simple clay figurine on display in a museum. He has a churlish grin, smiling eyes and both hands pressed to his tummy as if he's rubbing it. Other clay items are visible in the background.

Me in line for the Tokyo National Museum

Decade of research leads to vaccine that could save Australian icon Australia's vet regulator approves a koala chlamydia vaccine for nationwide rollout, offering new hope in the fight against the potentially fatal sexually transmitted disease.

They just released a one-shot chlamydia vaccine for koalas. ☺️

This will obviously push house prices further up. Please don't pretend this helps with housing affordability.

I don't think it's fair to characterise a defense lawyer that way, but in any case isn't there an obvious conflict of interest? The producers of the show should have discounted him as a guest for that reason.

I don't understand how the relative ages of Italy and the USA are relevant when both are much younger than ancient Rome.

Is it as old as ancient Rome?

I fully understand that his voice is jarring, but I still think taking shots at him for it is tacky and unnecessary. There's plenty of other stuff to rip into him about.

Is that essentially a way of moving liquid by sucking it halfway up a long straw? I can see how that might be precise, but is by there a chance of the operator being infected or the sample getting saliva/breath in it? Sorry, I've never pipetted anything before.

One of the first things I do with any new laptop is go to ninite.com and get all my favourite utility apps in one download. ♥️
