They are forced by the state government to put aside money for future rehabilitation.
Piles of money set aside frequently have a way of disappearing....
Something else to point out is that “huge methane plume” is actually methane that is always there. It’s just that normally there is a huge amount of forced ventilation into (and subsequently out of) underground mines and while that is working this methane plume is diluted to much lower levels.
Oh, my bad. I thought that the methane was kinda trapped underground with the coal and was released by mining/boring.
I've got a random username if the stupid website/app allows it. Most don't. It has to be your email address.
And a minimum random 20 char password for each website/app. Again if the stupid website/app allows it.
Secure your (I don't mean you personally) fucking website/app and credentials storage and stop making your weaknesses my problem.
Most places, and all of my stupid financial websites/apps, only have phone/SMS as the second factor. And yet there are plenty of horror stories about people 'losing' their phone numbers.
Oh wait. There is one financial site that has developed its own authenticator app. I really expect that to go about as well as storing passwords in cleartext.
Then there's all the shit websites/apps that I don't give a fuck about that now insist on having 2FA set up. They're not interested in the security, it's just to get your email and phone number to onsell your data to whoever.
I'm certifiably insane, have a doctorate in frustration, and many studies published of "Oh, fuck, what is this? I don't have time for this now, I have shit to get done".
I can't see what the harm is. There couldn't be any objection to more competition?
I'm in Sydney, but the petrol shenanigans are atrociously obvious.
I shit you not, there's one BP station I go to that at the peak of a cycle can be 40c/l cheaper than every other BP station in the area. You know why? Because 200m down the road is an independent station that doesn't seem to follow the price cycle.
How is it that all BPs other stations in the area are 40c/l higher, and just this one BP up the road from the independent can afford to set it's price 40c/l lower?
The night before I mix two eggs with a little milk and put it in a microwavable mug. Then microwave it for 30 seconds, stir and repeat twice. It creates a round slab of egg that I put on a piece of buttered toast with ketchup spread on it.
Yuk. That would be cold and soggy by the next morning lol
This gets me twitching. It's like some kind of Minority Report.
The idea behind it might be good - to prevent crimes before they happen -, but inevitably there are kpi's or measures put around it that lead to different, and harmful, outcomes.
Eg, police set up young or disadvantaged people so they hit their arrest targets, and therefore justify how 'great' their proactive policing policy is.
Without a VPN, your ISP will have some level of meta data. It may be as little as you did a DNS lookup of a pirate site and downloaded 2.14GB of data from that site.
Is that illegal? Depends on what country/state you are in.
If you'd like to explore some of the attitudes to war and remembrance, I'd recommend The one day of the year. It's a play about Anzac Day. And a hell of a lot more....
Also, nobody worships war. We remember those that gave their lives. A lot of those country towns lost an entire generation going off to fight a war thousands of miles away.
They shall grow not old,
as we that are left grow old;
Age shall not weary them,
nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun.
and in the morning.
We will remember them.
That's the other thing, everyone feels hot/cold differently, and you also adapt to some degree.
I was in Cairns one April, and it was 28C and about 1000% humidity.I was sweating my ass off in a t-shirt and shorts. And there goes a local pedalling away on his bike with a hoodie and sweatpants on. I nearly had heat stroke just seeing it!
The entire article and every comment here talks about 'cold' without mentioning a temperature at all
So, here you go. In winter, where I am in Sydney, it's normally 14C indoors at night. With 3 layers of clothing, a beanie, and snuggled under a heated throw it feels like 25C.

I got 7/10, but was guessing most.
Shame my exams never worked out that well...
