Big investors into his company got burned too.

Samsung and Google support their current generation phones for five years. Apple supports theirs for seven years from when they're last sold.

But now you have to charge two things rather than one. Some people would prefer not to have to do that.

But the IEA is a lobby group. It's not like their numbers have any credibility. Like I said, nuclear is way more expensive by all numbers except fake ones.

LiFePo4 batteries have lower energy density than other Lithium Ion batteries and they're more expensive. So while they have much longer life your EV running LiFePo4 is going to have shorter range.

That page shows nuclear being way more expensive than photovoltaic solar with batteries, more expensive than wind power and more expensive than coal. So it exactly backs up my point.

There are something like 50 different indigenous languages across Australia. That makes it pretty hard to standardise one.

I'm beginning to think that people may lie on the internet.

cheap

It's literally the most expensive power of any of the major options.

It's not them. It's the super rich 0.1% who have screwed this generation.

It's great. Really much better than gas in my opinion.

Induction cook tops are so great. I can't imagine going back to gas.

You can get super fancy induction cook tops that work with conventional woks but even better you can get woks designed to work with conventional induction cook tops.

And even PET only gets recycled a relatively small percentage of the time.

The industry claims that 9% - 18% of plastic put in recycling bins gets recycled but even that's probably an overstatement. Also they're including the plastic which gets shipped to SE Asia for "recycling" - but once it gets there it's actually landfilled because that's cheaper than recycling. So the amount of actual plastic recycling which actually occurs is probably negligible.

is not really up for debate that helmets prevent brain injuries

Not if you don't read the research, as you apparently haven't. As the poster above pointed out there really is a lot of debate and the research supporting helmets is of very poor quality.

There are no facilities in Australia which can recycle soft plastics in commercial quantities. It requires a special process which is very energy intensive and expensive to run (pyrolysis / depolymerisation). The only country in the world which does it at commercial scale is Japan, and even they only process around 10% of their soft plastics. Still, it's better than the 0% we do here.

It's unlikely to ever be done here in Australia because it's a lot more expensive to recycle this way than just making new plastic.

Disappointing since the whole thing was a scam from the word go. They never had any ability to recycle soft plastics in commercial quantities.

That depends on the country you live in. In Australia for instance anything that looks like a "sale" must be an actual sale of a product and can't be something else sneakily disguised as a sale. It's illegal for services like Steam or app stores to deny you access to software you've bought on their platform in Australia.

That doesn't mean it hasn't happened before though.

I'm glad it works for you. It doesn't for me and a lot of other people. I changed jobs because my previous job wanted us to come back in. I will never return to the office. There's no benefit to the business and all the costs of coming in are borne by me.
