Oh gawd. Lignin and fungi i’d forgotten all about that. Biology was never my strong suit!

carbon capture is sort of a farce

Yeah, i like your phrasing here. By no means a bad thing to promote, but not the simple silver bullet solution to net zero/GHG reduction the marketing departments of large emitting companies make it out to be.

Tickets/Voucher for a rock climbing centre could be up his alley.

If you want something that will last you could get him a powder bag, or his first Carabiner as well.

Be prepared that the climbing place might not let him use the Carabiner in conjunction with their equipment though, so it might sit around until he got his own harness if he ever went that far. Powder bag would be all good.

fix carbon anymore (yay fungi)

I’ve not made the time to get all up in my fungals, but i know a lot more understanding is coming out. Whats the deal?

For the rest of the thought, i’ve pictured it as a net loss, with a little uptake, a bit like the zoomed in hockey stick graph shows the yearly changes with the seasons. But i haven’t any evidence to point to, if any exists.

For context, i live near bush and see the effects, so this all is just like, my opinion man… Ithink it retards growth, but there is definite regreening as you say, a lot though seems to be invasive weeds, so i don’t know if the biomass actually increases that much. I suppose a tree ring study would show whether but offs effect biomass increase or noy.

Good thought, couldn’t agree more with Albanese, but blasting it across the world in that fashion is maybe not advisable. Don’t need to put the incoming US administration offside if we can help it.

At the same time, you never know whats going on behind closed doors, maybe the horse has already bolted for Labor with the Republicans on that one.

Welcome!!! Come over to Aussie Zone for a banter anytime you like!

So, further to mu previous comment, no you shouldn’t need to create an account on each instance you want to explore. At best creating an account on the instance might make navigability better.

Mastodon is single developer

I think he has a few people with him now. But i listened to the interview at the start of the year, so i’m starting to the detail.

Exploring instances should be as easy as looking up any other website. At least to get their ‘local’ front page. Or just navigate to them through that link above.

As an example you could look up jlai.lu, a french instance. They’re pretty active.

No idea on Mastodon myself. I’ve heard a couple interviews of the developer, seems like a cool guy. But thats about all i can say.

I’s playing round with this instance and community finder the other night, works really well. Might be useful to find a more active community that you’ll enjoy.

The instance could be a problem if you scroll through the ‘local’ feed often and thats where you see a lot of things you don’t wish to see. A European or special interest instance might suit your context, (Portuguese?), better.

I spend more time on my ‘local’ (aussie zone) feed than ‘subscribed’ or ‘all’ and its definitely nicer, so a move like this can work.

But you could also optimise your own ‘subscriber’ feed as another option.

Choice quote, “Net Zero by 2050 is clearly not working…”

Just started, Live Stream, Minderoo Pacific climate connect: On the Road to COP31 featuring Dr Andrew Forrest.

The Cook Government is contributing a capped amount of $30 million towards the Industry Response, with the remaining funding provided by the pipe manufacturer, Iplex Australia and participating builders.

Why is the government paying anything? These are private businesses with a faulty product. Its their and their insurers problem? What have i missed?

The Industry Response provides a practical and proportionate remediation program based on the number of Typlex 1050 leaks at a home: repairs and a ceiling re-pipe for one leak, a zone re-pipe for two leaks and the choice of a full or partial replacement of all pipes for three or more leaks.

This sounds like a crazy solution to me, people i know are having these leaks, one had to move out for a few weeks while almost her whole house’s ground floor was redone. That was for a single leak, so she has to put up with the possibility of that situation two more times? There better be accomodation and inconvenience payments at least.

Also how are these houses going to be insurable?

All homes with Typlex 1050 pipes are eligible for the installation of a leak detection unit at no cost through an online registration system operated by Iplex:www.perthpbresponse.com.au(link is external)

This will be okay, i hope they are actively contacting people as well.

This, and we have to find a better way of dealing with fire risk than dumping a whole extra load of greengouse gases in the air every autumn/spring.

Its a trade deal for military technology. Where the US already is in the superior bargaining position for re/setting terms, agenda, and prices.

I don’t know why anyone in Australia, or the world, thinks thats in jeopardy. Even the most craven of administrations would love this, as far as i know, uncapped ‘deal’.

At most the screws might be turned, but our unimaginative military leaders will always recommend we pay, or rely on the US’ decisions in regards agenda or terms.

They will do this, because they seem to have no genuine ideas for builing our own defense capabilities. Their answer is always the same.

A wise government would be directing companies around Australia to build up the Australian military industrial supply systen in the national interest. They should’ve given up the slower single large contract tendering processes when the Russians tried to decapitate Kyiv.

Oh man, head off any newscorpse attack, i think your on the money, at least partially.

Will do!

Oh Awesome! I’m planning on getting down there tonight. I’ll look out for @leece’s photos. We’re planning on at least walking through to look at the telescopes, even if the weather means yheres nothing to look at.

It seems every year the clouds roll in just in time for Astrofest, its so weird!

See you there!

A roadway allowed multiple speeds across the lanes could be how to get around this.

If the citizens of a transport zone don’t like the rules as they stand, ie, one single speed for all lanes, they should lobby to vary them.

Apart from cases where multiple speeds happen, the speed limit is the speed limit, the person behind contravenes rules if they speed, use the shoulder, etc. They’re in the wrong, they have agency, and decide to cause the unsafe situation.

The person ahead, as that video showed to the tune of straight funktown, may cause worsened traffic conditions, but they’re not the people being dangerous on the road. (Assuming they are going within the range of the expected limit)
