Ok on reflection maybe it wasn't. There was at least a little wrapping motion there, and the contact want with the head.

Send off! That was way worse than last game's send off.

Maybe they cancel each other out

Wtf how is that not a professional foul‽ Grabbing the defender's legs!

[-] Zagorath@aussie.zone 3 points 2 days ago

Fuck me, how is that not a shoulder charge and a strip?

Queensland's Parliament is currently considering a bill which would effectively ban ebikes. They would be unable to go more than 10 km/h on footpaths and shared paths, which make up over 90% of the so-called "bike paths" in Brisbane. It will also force you to have a driver's licence to ride an ebike, ban under-16s from riding them at all, and increase the penalty for riding without a helmet for both ebikes and analogue bikes.

There's also the niche fact that it will require ebikes be compliant with the EN 15194:2017+A1:2023 standard, instead of just the basic EN 15194 standard. This is a specific niche change that means all older ebikes and even most currently-sold ebikes will be non-compliant with the technicalities of the law, even though they fit within the basic premise of being: (a) pedal assist, (b) 250 W maximum, and (c) incapable of going more than 25 km/h with motor assistance. One of the cycling advocates in Brisbane went to a local major bike store and checked their inventory. They only sold one model that complied with this new standard. And it was a child's bike, and thus de facto illegal under these laws regardless, since children cannot ride ebikes.

Next week, Aldi's specials will include a folding ebike. It will almost certainly not be compliant with the 2023 standard.

The details of the bill and the committee can be found here: https://www.parliament.qld.gov.au/Work-of-Committees/Committees/Committee-Details?cid=272&id=8575

Or you can contact the committee directly here: SDIWC@parliament.qld.gov.au

Submissions to the committee close at 10 am this coming Friday . So get them in by Thursday evening!

We can blame the religious organisation as much as we want, but the fundamental problem here is payment processors. They should be common carriers. Content-neutral middlemen who facilitate payment to anything that isn't literally unlawful. This is no different to an ISP throttling access to Netflix because they operate their own streaming platform. If the storefront, the developer, and the buyer are all ok with a transaction, there's no good reason for a fourth party to stand in the way of that.

Fake and gay.

No way the engineer corrects the mathematician for using j instead of i.

The CIA wrote a manual on how to do this. It's a bit old and parts of it are outdate for some times of work, but a lot of it is still useful.

  • Misunderstand orders. Ask endless questions or engage in long correspondence about such orders
  • Insist on perfect work in relatively unimportant products
  • Hold conferences when there is more critical work to be done (some might say normal businesses do this as a matter of course...)
  • Bring up irrelevant issues as frequently as possible

apparently he didn’t even get paid and covered his own travel costs

Holy shit that's bad. Can't even try to claim the excuse of "a job is a job" and claiming there's no politics to it.

Safe, sure. Efficient? Not even close.

It's far, far more expensive than renewable energy. It also takes far, far longer to build a plant. Too long to meet 2030 targets even if you started building today. And in most western democracies you wouldn't even be able to get anything done by 2040 if you also add in political processes, consultation, and design of the plant.

There's a reason the current biggest proponents of nuclear energy are people and parties who previously were open climate change deniers. Deciding to go to nuclear will give fossil fuel companies maximum time to keep doing their thing. Companies which made their existence on the back of fossil fuels, like mining companies and plant operators also love it, because it doesn't require much of a change from their current business model.
