Maybe. I voted again the Republic (bit for The Voice) not because I'm a monarchist but the proposal for how it was to be setup was bullshit. Now we have to endure that shitball King visiting, so there is that.

How to vidoes for better Map editing ? Had to make a bunch of corrections to new.MTB trails near me and am I sure.

Rees bluntly states, “the human enterprise is effectively subsuming the ecosphere” and “wide-spread societal collapse cannot be averted — collapse is not a problem to be solved, but rather the final stage of a cycle to be endured.”

 

A government briefing paper estimates telecommunications companies spent almost $8 million in 2020 repairing damage caused by 5G conspiracy theorists, including replacing towers and other communications infrastructure

The vandalism was one of at least 11 similar attacks in NSW this year. Vandals remove nuts from the bolts that secure the towers to the ground, causing them to eventually topple.

WTF ??? Who does this ?

What we have discovered is that even after almost five years, the trajectory is still in reverse. The impacts are accumulating and it hasn’t stabilised.”

Well, that was another horrific read :( We lived just down the road at the time and had visited the area to hike and swim many times in the years prior.

 

Transport Minister Eric Abetz says there had been an "overwhelmingly negative" reaction from businesses on the street and shoppers who use existing parking spaces which would have been affected by the trial.

Good on the local goverment for going ahead anyway, and this bit

Every time they do an improvement or make it safer there is more and more people riding," she said.

If a cyclist is not using what you think is a good bike lane, then it's not a good bike lane. eg ingress/ egress is bad, some obstacles along the route are difficult to navigate, cars reverse out randomly etc etc. Most cycles lanes here in Australia are horrific and are often installed as an afterthought.

 

Ismail Mohammad pushes a buggy down the centre of a narrow road in east Bristol. His two sons stay close as vehicles could come from either direction at any moment. “There are cars [parked] on the pavement. We have to go on the road,” says Mohammad as he hurries to the boys’ primary school in Easton. “It’s dangerous because cars sometimes come fast through here.”

What in tarnation ? What a sorry state of affairs. Good luck to the council !

Bryher has little sympathy for drivers who claim they must park on pavements on narrow roads. “You need to park somewhere else instead … there are enough [spaces] for every­one to park in the city,” he says. “It’s just that you might have to park further away and you might have to consider whether you need a car.

Indeed

 

FFS!

"This should be the final nail in the coffin for the false narrative that LNG was somehow a climate solution”

 

Andrew King, a lecturer in climate science at the University of Melbourne, said there was "evidence to suggest climate change is intensifying those kind of extreme rain events".

"With larger cities and larger urban areas, we'd expect to see more incidents like these floods affecting more people," he said.

So, what's the take away here ? make it so expensive to live people choose cycling and we get better cities ?

Might be tricky to find, so if you want user replaceable batteries in a Mouse, maybe get a USB AA/AAA battery charger and use any of the many mice with AA (Or AAA) batteries. Recharge the batteries by plugging in the USB charger when they get low ?

My Logitech MX Master 3S is USB c rechargabke but not user replaceable batteries

Anywhere "completely safe"? No! Are some places safer then others, of course. Off flood plains, not near rivers, (if you live behind a levee you will be flooded, eventually) protected from bushfires, away from SLR, out of the tropical zone, not hot, not dry.

It's why I moved to Tasmania, on a small hill, 250m ASL on good soil, in a wet area, with zero bush fire risk.

I don't feel George Monbiot put his case well. If we take Australia as the example, without the incremental changes we've individually already made its hard to believe that the bigger things we are actually doing now would be as uncontroversial as they are.

I don't agree, your argument is there "is bigger things we're doing now". I don't agree with that premises at all, we're not doing bigger things... at all. What were doing is green washing within the orthodox neo liberal order. Which I think is George's point.

Aa an example , aircraft bookings have increased some 20% from last year, we need aircraft bookings to be zero. We need private cars being banned, we'll need the removal of national boundaries or suffer the rise in violence and subsequent enviomental damage that's caused as billions flee the tropical zone. They will flee becase they must.

Another example, The Olympics should be banned and yet we're inviting 10s of thousands of people to Australia in 2034. What we're doing it banning straws at the events and putting a recycle logo on a cup instead.

We're expanding Melbourne, Hobart & Brisbane aiports and have built a new one in Sydney, they should all be closed. A new football stadium in Hobart is a laughable mockery in the face of a climate emergency.

Solutions to Climate Change and the enviomental crisis require a complete change to the social, political and economic way we live upon the Earth, what we're doing is rearranging the deck chairs.

We need to ban cars and flying but what we're doing is banning plastic bags and chopping down forests to make paper bags.

All too much to expect ? Well, that's the point and why we're not doing anything, beside incremental tokeism and why it will only get worse.

If you mean tabs then there's a setting to keep tabs are a restart

That's never worked for me. If I close FF and reopen its starts fresh with.noting open. If I close the OS, and restart only then does FF reopen all the tabs.

I am currently on LMDE but the same process happened when I was on Windows 10 and Linux Mint . I have the setting selected to restore previous open tabs but it's just never worked across many years, many updates and multiple OS's.

 

Evidence is mounting that modern medicines present a growing threat to ecosystems around the world. The chemicals humans ingest to stay healthy are harming fish and other animals.

 

Humanity’s rapacious consumption is more than Earth and its climate can handle, which is driving an ecological crisis.

Australians are the worst offenders per person due to our excessive resource use.
