No problem. I'm keen to know what you think of it.

I don't seem to be able to buy this in Australia. Yet I can buy a dozen different products to selectively kill the clover in my lawn.
That sucks, I really like clover. It's nice to walk on.
Each contestant is on their own. They place cameras themselves to record their activities. The goal is to be the last one remaining.
They get to bring a limited amount of equipment and supplies with them, there is no way for them to get anything additional from outside. They need to build their own shelter and find their own food.
They each have a satellite phone they can use to call for rescue or to notify the organisers that they would like to leave. Doing either means they lose.
The winner will be told when they're the last one remaining, they have no way of knowing how many are left at any point otherwise.
That's the show, it's extremely good.
This article is literally "some architect built a tiny home, could million dollar tiny homes on million dollar land parcels be the answer to housing?!".
The answer is no.
The government said it would work with states and territories to pause further changes to the National Construction Code. It would then consult on ways to streamline the code, including the use of artificial intelligence to help tradies, small business and households in using the three-volume, 2000-page code.
No fuck, don't strap AI to this shit.
“Chief executive [of the Property Council of Australia] Mike Zorbas described the announcements as “sensible” and a “win” for housing supply.
“Let’s also put AI to work turbocharging housing delivery. A smart rollout of AI into planning and assessment systems will give decision-makers the clarity they need and save valuable time in delivering new homes,” he said..
Oi, I said no! Fuck.
So this is a property investment lobby group pushing for a freeze to further improvements to the national construction code and calling for the implementation of AI to weaken environmental protection.
Fuck off knob.
But former industry minister Ed Husic said this week he was concerned about a pause to the code.
Husic said the former Coalition government had frozen new homebuilding regulations, only to rush through a mass of changes in a short period of time. “People who’ve lived in older homes with regulations that weren’t as strong understand why livability is such an issue.”
This guy gets it though.
I wonder where these were published. Any reputable journal should have rejected them outright since the authors are speaking outside their areas of expertise.
No way, any reputable journal would use a process of double blind peer review. The background of the researcher should have no bearing on the decision to publish.
The paper should have been rejected for being shit.
My sister worked at a sorting facility. It is shutting down permanently at the end of the year.
Not a good sign :(
That's interesting! I didn't know that SA and TAS had separate ages.
100% this. The headline was deceptive and used the wrong figure. I have no issue with the study itself.
Given the age of consent is 16, it's a bit stupid to include 17 year olds as children.
Fuck suffering. The system should be focused first on rehabilitation and second on seperating the person from society so they can't harm others.
The infliction of suffering does nothing to help society at all. It just creates horribly broken people in prisons and encouraging hate outside.
If someone can't be rehabilitated I see no issue in providing a comfortable isolated environment for them. Hell, give them whatever drugs they want too, who cares, just keep them away from society.

It was about 105f in Perth yesterday. It reached 115f at my friend's place a bit to the northeast.
