I am sorry for insulting your people

It's not clear from your post whether you've read the article. In case you haven't, it's not really about printers.

Oh look there's a whole Wikipedia page on it

Possibly an accidental byproduct of metal working

Maybe tektites? Natural glass formed when ~~lightning~~ meteorites strike~~s~~ sand. I only remember the name because they share it with the jumpy spiders from Zelda

It's a watermelon. It's used as a symbol for Palestine due to it's alignment with the colours of the flag

I appreciate the ambiguity in your comment created by the missing pronoun.

There are a few PCB drones out there.

Most PCBs, even really cheap ones, are made from FR-4, which is a very robust fibreglass. It's would be a pretty decent choice for drone components in general.

Not drones, but Carl Bugeja on YouTube makes some fascinating machines almost entirely out of PCBs (although he uses a lot of flex PCBs, not just FR-4).

The coal plants are decommissioning due to costs, renewable energy is booming, and (obviously due to the ban) there is no local nuclear industry or expertise. Even if you manage to lift the ban, which nobody is trying to do*, nuclear would not be replacing coal plants here, but might divert renewable funding. In other countries I have no doubt building more nuclear could offset coal, not here.

* The coalition claims to be in favour of nuclear power, but they've spruiked it before in opposition, and nothing gets tabled when they're in power. It's got as much chance of happening as high speed rail.

It doesn't look like there's been any activity in 7 years, but your post reminded me of Uzbl, a set of browser components designed to apply the Unix philosophy

I don't think there are too many people arguing against fission who are in favour of coal

Consent has no relationship with technical ease.

I don't know that Steam doesn't record it anyway, but sharing OS is explicitly part of the data they show you that they will take if you agree to the Steam survey, which certainly implies they're not doing so if you don't consent.

The website situation is (arguably) different, as a User Agent is something your browser is giving the website on your behalf (in theory). From the website's perspective, you are voluntarily sharing that information and any issues with that are between you and your browser.

Yep, and they're far more progressive than any of the neoliberal bastards that travel there to make laws for the rest of us.
