Can today be the day that something else does not go wrong... please?

So that!

Despite everything trying to stop them the plucky academics still manage to teach and research… maybe.

#EVs will crash the grid they yell... heard it endlessly..

Reality check:
Right now, data centers (especially AI) are putting more pressure on the grid than the entire global EV fleet. EVs are proving to be one of the more grid-friendly loads we’re adding. Data centers getting worse..

I see your Robbie and raise it…

Receiving a flu shot doesn’t just protect you, it protects all the people you would have passed your flu on to. Among those people may be some who are frail or old.

It takes five minutes, it may save a life and will certainly save some suffering.

Get a flu shot.

Never quite got the go to restaurant pay to cook your own food thing.

Good, these waste of space 'influencer' idiots should all piss off.

Our new album is out today! A sincere request to help spread the word!

Good. Suck it bigot.

But it is a virus that you can't see and those woke weirdos spread it with their high-faluting ideas and things. (Sorry you wanted actual evidence where there is non? 🤣)

not the worst type of student feedback I've got...

Now you are confusing them even more with your difficult words and concepts.

To speak of 'postmodernism' in the military is a very silly notion. Rapid development in the techbological & threat ecology is forcing a proliferation of language & frameworks that are ill fitting & confusing.

They suck. They suck and they’re replaceable.

Biggest argument against EV trucks in Oz is always: "Yeah what about Melbourne to Perth?!" Mate, chill. Most road freight is Sydney–Melbourne. Long-haul to Perth is mostly train anyway. Fred doing Port Botany to Parramatta every day? Perfect EV truck territory.

That damn dismal science always needs to be reminded why they need sociology and psychology.

Sign me up for that lobbying!

So Jelly!

Really good points - we need to change the mindset around how you 'fuel' an EV.

Surely that will ruin the "Great Australian Weekend (TM)"

TISM absolutely slapped it - so glad we saw it.

I don't know how to explain to the people who pop up when creatives complain about "AI" to say there are legit uses for it just how much they sound like someone saying "Well actually fire is used to make bread" when people are talking about an organized arson ring burning down their fucking houses

Oh? Was that also an option? I don’t recall Albanese offering that one.

If only we could, I dunno, tax the rich?

Sawing open our brand new cellar cabinets to get to water damaged flooring… not how I expected today to be…
