But then you can’t inflate the numbers by putting a 3.7 volt battery in a power bank, listing the capacity in amp-hours and implying that you get that many amp-hours at the power bank’s 5V output voltage.

Well, we have preferential voting, so you can vote for whoever you actually want and put both of those further down the ballot.
- Comment on Senator threatens climate body after nuclear 'carbon bomb' report 5 weeks ago:
I mean, the proposal is to build seven new nuclear plants in a country with no existing nuclear industry. That’s probably just realistically how long that would take, so nuclear is the problem.
It can’t be deployed quickly, and it especially can’t be deployed quickly by Australia. If it could, the coalition wouldn’t be using it as an excuse to keep burning coal and gas.

It’s school IT, so it was probably a teacher who ‘knows computers’ and not anyone with IT training.

IIRC the pop up even did scummy bullshit like continuing with the update if you closed the popup by clicking the cross in the top right of the window, you had to actually click the cancel button.

Yeah… One of my great great grandmothers, nobody was ever allowed to know how old she was while she was alive. It was this weird mystery.
Turns out if you knew her age you could easily count backwards and work out that when she got married she was 13 years old and about four months pregnant.

But seriously, having a sense of taste for the interior of one’s home does not make a person gay— it means you’re an adult with good taste. It does, however, run the risk of classifying you as “fabulous.”
“I’ve had loads of gay experiences. I’ve seen a pair of shoes and said, I have to have them! I’ve described a cake as ‘to die for’. But I’ve never had the gay experience of having another man’s cock in my mouth and/or bum. And I think that really is the one that counts.”

- Comment on Honda teases reveal of two new Honda Zero EV prototypes 3 months ago:
‘Teases prototypes’? Do they think it’s 2010? Nobody cares about your EV prototypes, launch something people can buy or just resign yourself to being killed off by the wave of Chinese EVs.
As a great philosopher once said, “Shit or get off the pot.”

IIRC different species of frogs make wildly different sounds, so all of the languages might just be what type of frog lives in that country.

at least, not with my 1080p monitors, which I prefer over higher-res ones
Blasphemy!
4k monitors are beautiful for normal desktop usage, making text crisp and clean with smooth curves and none of that blockiness that comes from low resolution, and with modern scaling settings you can even have 4K text and 1080p graphics at the same time with the same performance as native 1080p.

Without property investors in the market, there won’t be enough stock of rental properties
People seem to have this weird idea that those houses will just be set on fire or something, instead of being bought at lower prices by people who want to live in them.

- Comment on I don't hate Body Type replacing Gender, I hate laziness 7 months ago:
My point is that gaming could abandon “A/B” in favor of something more like an actual spectrum of Height, Weight, and Gender Presentation instead of just awkwardly renaming the binary? I wouldn’t get so up in arms about gender replacing body type.
Okay, but an in-depth character creation system that lets you pick and adjust individual features is a lot more work than just manually creating two models and asking the player to pick one. Adding that means something else gets cut.
Putting in half a dozen body types and a boob slider shouldn’t be a ton of work, but devs who only offer two player models to choose from in the first place probably aren’t putting that much thought into character creation.
- Comment on Anon tries to be ethical 7 months ago:
In a business school they’re the same thing: stuff we have to put on the syllabus so it looks like we care about them.
It’s not like they actually teach those subjects, they just need to appear on the timetable. So putting them together works fine.

So after it’s done you can adjust it’s cooking time, but instead of a cook time knob that you turn they try to pretend it’s AI?
