Hey humans. You're living on a space station with an unlimited power supply (what you call 'The Sun') and there's a bunch of bastards trying to poison it with chemicals and hate. Is anyone else listening in to this train wreck? Man, it's a fascinating study in self-destruction.
Extraordinary statement on Taiwan by Bob Carr, former Australian Minister for Foreign Affairs:
"If the worst thing that faces the people of Taiwan would be what prevails in Hong Kong today, then we haven't got a cause for war.
I'd like to see the National Security Law no longer apply in Hong Kong, but Hong Kong still has substantially its own system and if that were the outcome that applied in Taiwan, then I can live with that."
You've got to admire Australians for their unparalleled no-nonsense bluntness. And this is really the key question. Anyone who'd been to HK before the NSL and who goes back today would notice virtually no difference. Is preventing the same thing in Taiwan worth a kind of war that most key thinkers, such as Kissinger, say could "destroy civilization"?

@oscaroach Pretty cool, eh? Many cool features but the best is the replaceable batteries. All EV's should have that feature. And the price looks reasonable too. They don't appear to be gouging like all the major names.
Growing crops for biofuels drives the destruction of the natural world, will worsen the impacts of climate change and increase the costs of both food and fuel.

None of the world's worst people are in prison. Most of them are fabulously wealthy and widely esteemed. Our systems are not set up to reward beneficial action and punish wrongdoing; at the scale that really matters, they are set up to do the exact opposite.
@LyndaCorner Sorry to hear you're crook. Are you one to feel better at another's expense? What about this:
