They're little sea puppies that are perfectly happy to cruise around while you swim with them. At least that's the grey nurse sharks we get in aus. The ones you're describing sound more like wobbegongs or similar. The grey nurses need to be in highly oxygenated water.

Grey nurses also used to have a rep as "man eaters" but that was just because of how they looked,not any actual attacks

That's often the point of riding two abreast. If you are riding one at a time and on the edge of the lane then cars will often try and overtake you without leaving the lane, or at least a minimal amount. That leads to very dangerous close passes.

If you ride side by side or in the middle of the lane if alone, then generally the times you get passed by cars are much safer as if going fully into the other lane already they tend to give you enough space.

This would depend on the drivers in your area, but with the shitty Sydney drivers I learnt quickly to hold the lane unless it was a safe place for them to pass.

Also, because traffic is a thing it's very rare that I don't end up right behind whatever car passed me at the next traffic light, safer passes don't really cost much time for the driver once traffic is accounted for

I'm assuming for large scale commercial solar

It's also better than v and much much better than 2042. It's a pretty fun arcadey shooter, with a very non toxic player base

Yeah I'm kinda with you. If you're becoming filthy rich off selling access to content others made then you're fair game. If you're just doing it for yourself / not profiting it's a very different ball game though

I think the current thing is quite likely an organic uprising. Things have been very very broken in Venezuela for a while now and the people there aren't happy. Lots of people have been fleeing to Colombia for a while now and there are solid signs the election results were made up.

Yeah, I'm learning on an old mini, which is a great car to learn on because they made basically the same car for 40 years and it's one of the most heavily produced cars of all time. I can buy every part for it for a reasonable price from one of 15 online retailers, about 5 of which are in Australia. However, if that wasn't the case it would be quite a bad thing to learn on because you'd just spend all your time chasing parts.

Something like that, an old Toyota or a bug would be a good car to learn on

For YouTube stuff, d3sshooter is pretty good. He's an older bloke that really knows his stuff and does detailed videos about how to do specific jobs on his cars (e.g. I followed his video when putting together the hubs for my mini). This is also a more expensive way to do it, but restoring an old car isn't a bad way to go. You'll learn a hell of a lot from it and they're a bit simpler and more approachable than a newer car

Over the past 5 years the monthly road deaths here in aus have been going up, because of the prevalence of those massive cars

Not mostly, mostly consumer preferences. You wouldn't be able to sell them and it'd just be wasteful

Nuclear is a terrible fit for that though, it can't scale up and down generation quickly, which is what would be useful with renewable. Honestly we're better off for now trying to get to 95% renewables as quickly as possible for cheap, and filling the 5% with quickly scaling gas, and solve the last few percent a little more slowly but in a way that's economic (and therefore will realistically happen). Nuclear is just way too slow, and if you sunk the cost that it'd take to build out the nuclear we could easily have a 100% renewable grid a lot sooner than the 20+ years it'll take with nuclear

Or the gas companies he wants to bridge the gap...

The cost of the commissioning and decommissioning (+of course running and wast management) is enough to make it more expensive than renewables with enough storage and transmission though. Nuclear was a great idea 30 years ago. In Australia where we have incredibly good renewable resources it's a terrible idea today.

I think a lot of the pushing for nuclear now is just as a distraction to keep fossil fuels in the mix for as long as possible, so those politicians can get their cosy board positions on fossil fuel companies after they quit politics

In this case it's because if you raised them no-one would want to buy them. The egg laying breeds are a lot tougher and have a lot less meet than the ones bred for meat. They also cost more per amount of meat in the end.

The simple fact is that people don't want to buy that, so it'd just be wasteful to grow them out.

Ah yes, let's take the low life area and make it 0 life

Nah, it's mostly because all the tech reviewers trashed phones with plastic backs saying they felt cheap. If you look at any of those reviews they always talk about the premium feel.

It also changed from aluminium to glass backs mostly for wireless charging.

Plastic backs are better, but the tech reviewers did a lot of damage there. If they'd tried to influence people and explained why particular made sense instead of trashing it we may have more plastic phones.

If they aren't absolutely essential for some important societal function the aircraft should just be grounded rather than be allowed to fly on leaded. No one's toy or joy ride should be giving thousands of people lead poisoning

But ranked choice is easy to implement and in practice if everyone would put a candidate second they aren't likely to be knocked out in the first round. There are very limited practical examples where it doesn't provide the optimal outcome.

It also seems to have some level of support and momentum in the US and it seems to me like it'd be better not to get caught in the weeds fighting over which new voting system should be implemented there.

If it's just passing the fire over the nest it shouldn't catch the wood on fire, but it could damage the paint. You don't need the heat under the nest for long though, just long enough to burn the wings of the adult wasps

Get a newspaper, roll/scrunch up a bit, light it on fire and hold it beneath the nest. Then when they try to fly out their wings immediately singe and they drop to the ground. Then you can step on them with boots. I don't know yellow jackets but that's what I use in Australia for paper wasps (which are very aggressive).
