Maybe they realised that their voter base used to include the sort of middle class professionals who buy EV’s in that price range and they can’t win elections off the backs of the sunglasses, pot belly and pickup truck brigade alone.

Who’d have thought “we want our country to be the dumping ground for cars illegal to sell elsewhere” would be an election pitch?

It’s going to be the story of the Japanese and Korean cars in the Australian market all over again.
I remember when the joke was ‘what do you call stealing a Hyundai excel? A victimless crime’

This is satire right?
Please tell me it’s satire?
No?
This is reality now?

It’s the issue when a CEO very publicly injects themselves into politics.
Did I consider the politics of the CEO of Polestar when I ordered my Polestar 4? Absolutely not, because whatever they think it isn’t in my face 24/7.
Beyond anything else… who is doing the CEO stuff for Tesla at the moment?

Insert comment about fujifilm autofocus not being able to capture moving people.
(In all seriousness nice photos).

I love how this image is not sharp, the subject it caught partially out of focus but it’s so interesting because of what it captures rather than it being a technically perfect photo.

Basically it’s social permission to charge higher prices for a coffee. There is about 60c worth of ingredients in a small flat white (that’s paying retail so wholesale will be less).

People often forget that the things no so ubiquitous to their lives were once clunky, stupidly expensive and inferior to the then standard method.
Early digital cameras were heavy, expensive and took fewer photos at much lower resolution than film cameras.
Now we all have one in our pocket.

Some people unironically yes, as long as they can get their fill and more.

Except there are two winter solstices each year, one for each hemisphere and they are 6 months apart.

Nice story… but unless Jim operates in the third world a directed donation from a relative is unlikely for ABO alone… and most people won’t know their blood group (and dizygotic twins are not necessarily going to share the same blood group).

It’s lovely ink! I have a bottle and love it. Just have to be careful with very fine nibs I find.

It’s the ‘we have no idea how this is going to be possible but we want to headline for having mandated it’ approach to public policy.

Linux is great, its customisability and adaptability means it can underpin my NAS, my virtualisation server and even my handheld.
However it’s still unapproachable by the average user. MacOS proves that you can make an approachable UNIX-like OS, and some distros get close, but not there yet (ever?)

It looks awesome. So as a collectable absolutely.
But it still has sticks that are going to fail so no, no controller that doesn’t have Hall effect sticks can claim to be the best ever made for usage.

Well on Blue Sky yes.
In terms of the existential question of existence I have no guidance for you on that one. Maybe?

So you’re saying the local John Deere dealership now has HIMARS for sale?

I’ve got photography, interesting people from the other place and some science.
The medical stuff is a bit light on at the moment though.
Still what I don’t have is posts from the blue check mark brigade praising their idols.

Why should the GP turn up to work to make nothing?

Speaking up for my GP colleagues here if the reimbursement from Medicare won’t cover the costs than they shouldn’t be expected to shoulder that cost themselves.
I’m sorry, but providing universal healthcare can’t be reliant on the charity of GPs.

I wonder if in that world any platform ever gains true traction, particularly with business.
It’s kind of going back to the 80’s and early 90’s with bulletin boards just with prettier UI’s and no dialup modem sounds.
