I'm lost in the air travel debate and it sucks. Ignoring the strike and pilots specific concerns, IMHO:

  • Emissions of flights are horrendous and will be viewed as barbaric in 30+ years. It needs to stop.
  • Denying those of a lower income the opportunity to partake in air travel is also horrendous, and should not be the main mechanism to disrupt the industry.
  • There are, in many cases, no alternatives to air travel, so it cannot be abolished.

Smarter regulation is needed, but the finite details will likely never suit a majority of people.

It's about the perceived drug use (namely ecstasy) within the electronic music scene. Amsterdam, because of its ports and proximity to western Europe, became a hub for typically higher quality drugs.

I would argue poo would be the opposite of a higher tier material like gold. Spit maybe?

Is play school big over there?

Khan academy got me through the end of high school and engineering. It really made the concepts a lot more understandable than the lecturers.

If it's content is still up to scratch, I hope it's getting the recognition it deserves!

 

I'm all for inclusion of all people in our society. No one should be prejudiced for who they are.

BUT! Today I have to draw the line! Listening to the Play School alphabet song with my kid and it goes "A, B, C, D....X, Y, zed or zee". Since when is this blatant destruction of our national identity accepted?

I'll be picketing outside the ABC's head office from tomorrow and following that the education office until this travesty can be corrected! Who's with me?!

Would it not be economic suicide to do so?

Is there a clear reason why this is the case?

The auto industry does not have a choice. They need batteries and will not get them from European suppliers, as they cannot deliver the same cost and quality AND they need the growing wealthy population there to keep their bottom line up.

Maybe 5-10 years down the line there will be enough forcing of Chinese battery suppliers to open factories in Europe to reverse this, but it is not going to happen soon. Maybe the tarrifs will speed this up, maybe not.

Bluetooth and the 2.4 GHz ISM band is not electricity and is highly resilient to moderate noise over short distances. Problems are usually caused by hardware related issues.

 

We have finally reached the point where we no longer have enough space to dry our clothes indoors, and will need to invest in a dryer.

We have a washing machine in our bathroom (also small) so the dryer would ideally go under/over that.

Does anyone have experience building or buying an appropriate stand? The dryer and washing machine will likely weigh about 50-60kgs each.

 

I have a mech engineering background and have been tasked to look into electromagnetic product design in the coming years.

Before I dive deep and tackle this change, I would like a refresher on electromagnetic radiation, especially low power applications. Massive bonus points if there are any resources which include regulation too.

Anyone got any worthwhile resources?

 

I have a large number of photos edited and ready to go and want to then them into an album. Does anyone have any recommendations for any FOSS software that I can use to arrange the images to pages, and add text?

I intend to send the data to a professional printer for printing and binding.

My first thought was Libre Office's Draw, but maybe this community has something more appropriate.
