Nah, that was worth watching.

Just one example of the lies and misinformation out there:

Smart people I know believe that we have to go Nuclear because it's the only green way to achieve baseload.

When press on what baseload is, they seem to think it's the minimum amount of power needed to keep the grid up.

Which for anyone listening in, is backwards, baseload is actually the minimum amount of load required because it's un-economical to spin old coal burners down. That's why people used to heat their water at night on the cheap, because the power HAD to go somewhere.

And these are smart people, just disinterested in the how and why of electricity generation.
They flick a switch, the lights come on.
Every 3 months they pay a bill and tut-tut about how expensive it is now "because of the green obsession".

That's what makes this possible.

Part of this funding is to underwrite a new interconnect with the NSW grid, to increase the SA grids ability to transfer power in and out.

Having those interconnects means when we have a surplus or shortage of sun + wind in one location, we can transfer it from somewhere else.

The plan even relies on the ongoing backup of gas turbines, which will be turned off 99.9% of the time, but still require maintenance etc adding cost to the grid.

But the plan is to have enough solar + wind + storage to go 100% net green over any given year.

If you need to use windows because of a software issue, not a hardware issue, you're probably best off running windows in a VM.
That way your linux install is making the WPA3 connection, and as far as the Windows install is concerned, it's on a wired lan.
This has the added benefit of not having to reboot, you just always start linux and turn the windows VM on and off as required.

Most people in the meat industry agree it's a good move.
It's only the unscrupulous and greedy ones that are kicking up a fuss.
Just because we raise animals for slaughter doesn't mean we can't minimise the discomfort the animals experience.

Whilst I didn't always agree with their pronouncements, having a fact checker at this time seems to me a very important thing.

They include reference to "a new in-house verification reporting team, ABC News Verify", but that sounds like they'll only be verifying their own news, which is nice, but not the point.

You could read David Leigh's book, in which he published the full decryption key: https://www.amazon.com/WikiLeaks-Inside-Julian-Assanges-Secrecy/dp/161039061X

That's literally how he leaked it.

The wikipedia article on it has the whole "he said - she said":
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WikiLeaks:_Inside_Julian_Assange%27s_War_on_Secrecy

Including the lie that is frequently parroted about Assange not caring about people dying.

That was an editor at The Guardian, David Leigh.

This didn't happen, Wikileaks vetted information before releasing it for exactly this reason.

Name one person.

Its technically US soil, so he could enter his plea there in a US court, but its the closest place to Australia, because he obviously refused to step foot on the American continent.

Yes, the threats worked and the corrupt won.

Now he gets to see his kids.
I'd choose that too.
You can call it cowardice, I'd call it pragmatism.
