If I can’t share a Curly Wurly then it’s not a revolution.
Haha I wish I could manage 365 days of leisure time.
So long as you enjoyed all 6 minutes. A full album might offer more long term value.
I have a $10/hour entertainment budget. If a movie ticket is $15 and I get 1.5 hours of entertainment then it was a good purchase. if I pick up a game for $60 then I expect to get at least 6 hours of fun from it.
Using this measure I’ve decided books provide some of the highest value entertainment and fancy restaurants some of the lowest value entertainment.
But that’s just me.
Fair call. I only just got the community update so I hadn’t seen it.
Democracy manifest!
No corporate control
It’s such a genuinely unhinged document. I was reading it after seeing some specific page numbers online and I wanted to see the original source. it’s just a fucked view of the world.
I know it’s celebrity news, so might not be true but the story of his special contract clause has been around for a while now.
"During our filming, JM closed the Kang deal. I remember asking said friend about it, and they shared some details. X number of movies, X number of dollars, and more interestingly, due to the nature of the character and potential multiple versions, JM had a contract clause stating that only he could play any and all versions of Kang.”
His contract said he was the only person who could play Kang in any multiverse.
I just earned my long service leave this year and I am fucking stoked.
Well it’s not really an either/or situation. The current Labor government’s plan is a combination of majority renewables with gas and hydrogen. They are also running coal at the moment but have no plans to renew those plants during the transition. They’ve signed on to emissions reductions of 75% by 2035.
So you’ve got one plan which has some reduction targets (probably not steep enough) planned transition, costed and budgeted that doesn’t require more coal, and one plan which will pull funding from renewables, and requires more coal until some time as which they can get nuclear approved, built and commercialised.
Context is important here. The conversation here was about Australia’s nuclear capacity. A country where nuclear power is banned at both state and federal levels. Where the plan for it’s use is currently uncosted, the planned sites have been selected without environmental protection studies and several of which are supposed to be SMRs.
Would you build a bleeding edge nuclear reactor without a legal framework to govern its construction or operation? Without a workforce trained in its functions? Without considering the environmental factors of its geography? Without considering the cost?
Probably not. But that’s the current plan put forward by the reactionary right in Australia and this from a party who doesn’t believe in climate change, have no emissions targets, and whose whole plan is to continue to run and build coal power until whatever time they work out the details on nuclear.
My team moved to fully remote a month ago. I’m loving it so far.
Getting to see my little girl throughout my day makes me feel like I’m not missing out on watching her grow up.
Yeah they’re kind of the ultimate monopolization machine
Did they ever? They bought PageMaker in 1994 and Photoshop in 1995. They bought Macromedia in 2006, GoLive, Live motion, Typekit, Behance… Is there anything they’ve ever bought they haven’t slowly ruined with financialisation or just outright shuttering what would have been competition?
I will never not post this. This is what anyone who gets one of these is destined for :
The emotional reaction I get to these stories is hard to put into words. It’s a mix of deep sadness and incandescent rage. I just can’t imagine being in that position and not wanting to firebomb a politician’s house.
My little girl had a very high fever the other night and we were really worried about her, so we called the nurse on call hotline who advised us to wait and go to the urgent care centre in the morning unless she got suddenly worse overnight, then to head to emergency. It was all stressful enough just worrying about how sick she was. I can’t imagine how much worse it would be having to worry about paying for any of those services on top of that.
I think American’s call them OtterPops? We call them icy poles. Wherever you are in the world, those things.
I had to tweak some settings on my PC and lower the output to 720p but mine seems to work pretty well with that.
