We celebrate Labour Day in Australia, but on different days since we have a large 4 day block of public holidays over Easter with ANZAC Day the following week.

In Western Australia it's the 1st Monday of March.

In Victoria and Tasmania it's the 2nd Monday of March

In South Australia, New South Wales and ACT is the 1st Monday of October

But without drivers, you can pretty much throw all of it away.

I'm not sure you could - since spectator safety is considered more important than driver safety. (both are important)

So unless it's out in the middle of nowhere, with no spectators, no camerapeople, any pit crew would need to be in bunkers - just drones within a few kilometers of the track - it couldn't happen either and such and event would probably be less exciting than watching someone else play the F1 PC/Console game...

All that means is extinction right now.

It's the poorer classes that understand how to live in the world, but they'll be the ones to die with the rich clueless gentry inheriting an earth they can ever live in.

It needs to somehow convey the warmth of your favorite blanket, thus I present the following modification.

We've got some large scale batteries in SA (funnily enough one of our first was built by Elon, with his '$100mil for 100MW in 100 days' promise, which largely held- this was pre mask-off though) and it's now a lot better than in was in 2016.

We've also got more power generating here, so less variable dependence on interstate links (which go back to Brown Coal powered Victoria, yuck)

I'm not implying there is a problem with their grid though, just stating a small problem can cascade very quickly in an AC grid, it doesn't take a lot especially when a lot of us in the western world have been belt tightening for the last 10-15 years (less available backup capacity)

10 seconds of rotational momentum stored in turbines, such that if there is a skew in the balance of electrical supply:demand it will 'sap' that rotational momentum before the frequency starts starts dropping. Once that energy is depleted frequency will drop, in SA 1hz (from 50hz) is enough to trigger UFLS ('Ultra fast load shedding' - not fast enough for .6s momentum though) which will start dropping parts of the grid to try and keep at least part of it alive (restarting from a black system takes a lot longer than sequentially just adding de-energised parts back)

'large spinny things' - These don't need to be big generators, they they can just be dyanmos (or better we start to move to a DC grid and just use capacitor banks.)

That's all it takes some times if conditions are bad inside a grid.

This is one of the unfortunate downsides to moving form 'large spinny things' in coal generation to tiny integrated circuits generating the rotational momentum needed in an AC system. We had a similar issue in South Australia in 2016, complete black system after a number of events but of the two biggest preventable causes, one was simply the loss of rotational momentum in the system, in 1995 is used in be close to 10s, in 2016 it was less than .6s

We need to start rethinking the grid for the future, we can't keep coal/gas but we also can't keep a grid completely reliant on momentum for short term ride through.

Even done fast they could be better.

The Aerated Baking Company had bread close to as fast and cheap as the modern Chorleywood process, but it isn't ultra-glutenous. They were also an early feminist icon.

NFS seems a poor choice for mobile when simply losing the link will cause end user troubles.

I hard dropped it years ago when a momentarily dropped link would mean you needed to reboot the client machine or you'd lock up for minutes at a time trying to poll the mounted directory. (which, when pinned in a gui file manager, meant every time I opened the file manager or a save dialog box, my entire system would just lock up for minutes at a time)

I use an unholy combination of smb and sshfs now, since they can fail gracefully where NFS just can't.

That's just Docker in a nutshell.

I think even better is the multitude of sites that have just copy/pasted the wikia 'Oblivion Console Commands' page as 'new content' for Oblivion Remastered - but quite a few of the listed commands don't work on Remastered.

I know they copied the wikia page and not the UESP page too as only UESP mentions you occasionally need to wrap refid's in quotes for Oblivion. (if you're using a refid as the first part of a command ie. "abc123".moveto player) which you'll need to know as PRID is dead.

edit: bat doesn't work either! This is a travesty! Won't someone rid me of these turbulent quest items!

I don't think yt-dlp+mpv changed much...

Even the modern GPUs we have now can function at a basic level with generic drivers, and motherboard-mounted chipsets typically handle things like PCI, storage, and other I/O. Those chipsets also support multiple CPUs, sometimes even multiple generations.

This hasn't been the case in 20 years now.

ARM systems are typically manufactured with everything (CPU, GPU, RAM, modem, I/O controllers, etc) on the same die.

This has no bearing on software support at all.

No, FlatPak is centralization in the worst possible way, whilst also making software less usable.

It's a terrible thing and it dies to die swiftly.

However, with Android devices, there are so many variants and drivers that a single installer couldn't possibly cover all of them.

Works fine on PC, where there are an order of magnitude more configurations.

I hope it does well, but I'm just not interested in strictly linear games anymore.

13 Commonwealths you say?

Why are none of them called JonnyCab?

Maybe half of you shouldn't of stayed home to 'punish Kamala'?

People who didn't vote are just as guilty as those who voted for Trump.

In Australia corporations aren't considered people, Hope that helps to explain.
