For years tourists have ridden boats through this sacred Australian natural wonder. A new ban will stop them in their tracks

  • This is literally their area(well 50% state gov). Just because you are atheist doesn't mean you can go into their place & do what you want. Would you do a burnout in a church? Would you break a foreign countries laws because they aren't yours? Being atheist doesn't absolve you from humanism or courtesy.

  • In Australia we only have two options in the lower house. One of them is pretty close to driving off a cliff.

    Things could always be better (I personally find with their recent car emissions legislation a bit weak) but our current government is doing OK.

  • Stop doing magnets.

    Inanimate objects were never meant to be attracted to each other.

    Years of sticking yet no real world use found.

    Wanted to join things just for a laugh? We had a tool for that it was called glue.

    "Magnetism and electricity are two sides of the same coin” "attraction decreases with the inverse square if distance” - statements dreamed up by the utterly deranged.

    Look at what magnematicians have been demanding your respect for all this time with all the funding we have given them.

    "hello I would like an invisible force please"

    They have played us for absolute fools.

  • Good old copper is pretty hard to beat for a high temp/pressure (or vacuum). Chemical compatibility can be an issue though.

    Viton gets used a lot & I'm struggling to think of alternatives to it.

  • The tools are OK & getting better but some people (me) are more worried about the people developing those tools.

    If OpenAI wants 7 trillion dollars where does it get the money to repay its investors? Those with greatest will to power are not the best to wield that power.

    This accelerationist race seems pretty reckless to me whether AGI is months or decades away. Experts all agree that a hard takeoff is most likely.

    What can we do about this? Seriously. I have no idea.

  • Is there really no alternative in shampoo & disposable coffee cups?

    I understand that these chemicals do have some outstanding properties but that doesn't mean unfettered production & use. Any risk assessment of a potential use really should include 100% resource recovery & disposal or recycling. This could have been done years ago but if industry can't self regulate then bans it is.

    These chemicals make silent spring look like, um, er, weekend at Bernie's?
