Green steel is a thing, but not economically and at scale. I think "technology" might not be the right word, actually a think the core limitation is cheap and abundant renewable energy. Once renewable energy become cheap enough and enough electric arc furnaces are built we'll have green steel. Until then though we need metallurgic coal.

Coal is currently needed for steel production (the technology isn't yet there for clean steel), but in no universe is it critical for energy security.

  • 9/10 murders
  • 3/4 serious assaults
  • 2/3 rapes
  • 1/4 robberies
  • 1/8 burgularies
  • 4/5 car thefts
  • 4/5 frauds

Higher than I thought honestly. I thought it was like 1/4 murders that were solved.

Were they ever solved?

Perhaps these kinds of degrees should require work experience (or a disability) as a prerequisite. If they're using taxpayer dollars to get a degree they don't need, they should prove they would have the social and adulting skills to be employable in the fields in question.

There's a legitimate argument to be had about privacy vs. safety. The police need information to investigate crimes, complete privacy means all crimes go unsolved. It should absolutely require the police put in some legwork, law enforcement shouldn't be able to be automated, but where in-between the two extremes you draw the line on this issue is subjective.

I don't want the government to have all the information, and I do want the government to be able to enforce the law. VPN's are probably where I draw the line, private access to information is a red-line for me. Signal chat is a grey area for me, because it is also a means of accessing information but privacy of association is not something I consider to be important enough for the risks to public safety.

I'd just ban the algorithm and comments section of YouTube. Because kids are 100% gonna get a VPN to access YouTube or die trying.

To confirm, are strip searches required to be done by the same gender?

What is this obsession with HECS debt. We're not America, our student debt system is extremely reasonable and of basically no concern. The only reason it ever causes problems is because our housing market is an absolute nightmare but that's true for everyone HECS debt or not.

I read that title as "facial transplant".

I will be taking no further questions.

The electricity grid may not yet be able to handle the sudden influx in demand that replacing them would cause. Once electricity prices come down due to renewables naturally it would make no economic sense to use a wood-heater anyway.

I just want existing accounts grandfathered in. These kinds of bans are more effective at reducing uptake than getting people off the platforms, and more importantly I don't want to do more paperwork.

I can't find my source for the fact that existing accounts won't be grandfathered in.
