Studies are easier to beat people over the head with. A rolled up journal hurts more than an opinion column.

Additionally, they have stats on exactly how much money the program saved. Good to be able to pitch a social program making the county/state/country money.

Australia has some of the tightest safety regulations and strongest unions on the planet. We are opening lithium mines left right and centre.

I have to be in the minority of sane people who enjoyed this book.

To be fair, I had no context and read the first 10 pages assuming it was satire. The rest of the experience was bizarre. In the first chapter the main character ignores the advice of the train employees and orders the train to run despite the signal being red. It's touted as taking responsibility when none else would. Utterly insane to me that someone who had been out of the area for decades, making management level decisions, would decide they know better than the worker on the ground who does the job daily. The contempt and arrogance leading to destruction - a great critique of management structure and survivor bias. How is it not satire?

Through the looking glass with a self important free capitalist narcissist, with almost no experience of the world and commerce outside their bubble, self hating tirade against perceived inability. Fascinating stuff

I'm assuming they've blocked out chemistry from the training data. It's crazy how easy it is to make many things from common chemicals, the liability would be insane.

Are we interpreting the humor as the absurdity of asking identity questions on a form for no reason OR silly trans, there be only two genders?

Up / down vote me respectively, I am curious how often these sort of posts appeal to all sides of the spectrum with different groups interpreting he humor.

Oh, I thought we were discussing mastodon's sex work community, not rando ad-bots

Sex work is real work.

Independent workers should be able to compete with larger corps under their own conditions.

Yay fediverse

Land use is the main contributor. The OP article is knot great. Seaweed only helps with methane. Still, good.

Yeah, the main focus of greenhouse gasses in the literature is from land use. The amount of land used for rumanents and their feedstock could plant forests the world over. And don't get me started, noone is farming on the sides of mountains
