I really loved my Trinitron, but it needed so much space

Flat CRTs were excellent though.

That’s been the military’s job for most of history - keep the king in power

I don’t think Mr Musk understands how expensive it would have been to pay that many people, especially at actor rates

He seems to have reduced the popularity of the far right in the rest of the world

Internet users everywhere are paying more attention to where their stuff comes from as the propaganda leaks. I’m seeing more Made in Australia stickers on stuff than I have for decades

On the reasonable side of the balance sheet, Australia is moving so fast installing big batteries that CATL has named one of their products after the Australian company they’re supplying batteries to

Also we just had a study published and publicised for efficient pumped hydro locations near each population centre (though one state missed it and approved development of a pair of pumped hydro reservoirs in a location the study ranked poorly, leading to further advertising of the study and how its chosen site near the approved one would have been a tenth the cost)

Rooftop solar is so popular that grid demand in one of our two large cities was at an all time low recently

They’re attacking ships with any link to Israel, any ships mistakenly believed to have any link to Israel, any ships that might have links to Israel, and any ships that go by while they’re bored

Since pixel phones started using one volume button + power for reboot and the other volume button + power for screenshot, I have so many random, useless screenshots

That doesn’t work. People with crap lives often can’t meet the standards of goodness that many forms of Christianity need for you to be qualified for heaven

Depends on the flavour of Christianity

At one end unforgiven sins condemn you to the ancient Greek underworld, slightly modified

At the other end you land in limbo if you haven’t been perfect for a time that fits, thence to heaven for the rest of forever

Beyond that end, their god is infinitely forgiving so everyone goes straight to heaven.

Don’t worry, they don’t read the Bible, and especially don’t read the old testament.

They believe they have god given freedom of action
