The two people declined to name the Chinese manufacturers of the inverters and batteries with extra communication devices, nor say how many they had found in total.

Without this information I don't think it's possible to determine if this is actually a threat or if someone just wants their department funded.

I'm curious if it's actually preference or if it's supply side. From casual browsing Toyota looks to have completely eliminated their small cars (e.g. Echo) and their smaller cars (e.g. Yaris) are getting bigger and more SUV-like. Volvo stopped selling their station wagons in favour of SUVs and I can't think of any station wagons left on the market. Most of the EVs in the Australian market seem to be SUV-like, especially the MGs which have dominated the "remotely affordable" category for a while.

It's possible the manufacturers are just responding to consumer demands, but I'd like to see some evidence of who's driving the change.

Is there any technical or policy reason that they need a new leader? Or did Adam Bandt just step down? Presumably most of the parties that have no MPs still have a leader.

How many children died because Bill Gates lobbied for the Oxford Covid-19 vaccine to be patented?

Does it use Fabric or Neoforged?

More seriously this looks like a really neat way to build TUIs

I want a small EV

Some of this is the fault of the design of Word. Even modern versions have direct formatting in the Home tab, to the left (chronologically "before" for people used to left-to-right paradigms) of the styles box. The styles box itself becomes rapidly less accessible if the window is not full sized.

If they moved direct formatting to a formatting tab, had a more focused concept of styles, and possibly repurposed some of the direct formatting buttons for quick style application, people would use them a lot more reliably without any training.

Material from breaches shows that during a portion of this period, she used the same password across multiple email addresses and online accounts, in contravention of well-established best practices for online security. (There is no indication that she used the password on government accounts.)

This is... not interesting

It's disappointing to see that an article with such a flaky premise is written by the political editor of Crikey.

The shift from purely environmental policy to a broad progressive platform that he ascribes to Adam Bandt was complete when Di Natale was party leader, possibly before but I'm not doing the research that this editor should have done to check.

Marginally more controversially, while I think Labor was probably successful at painting the Greens as "obstructive" over the HAFF, they did exactly what they should have; they voted against bad policy, negotiated with the government and got a hell of a lot better policy passed. What else could the job of a minor party possibly be?

Most controversially, I don't think the author is even wrong about the misalignment between who traditionally votes Greens and who their policies have the biggest impact on. But, the idea that they should therefore tailor policies to benefit their voters instead of, you know, maintaining anything resembling ideological integrity, is a gross "realpolitik"-style attitude that our political landscape could do without.

Tape the cord to the top

Peeeeeeeewdududududududududududuh

I use to live next to a silent crossing and it threw me every time, despite crossing it twice every week day for years

Do they have to be open for this or is closed fine?
