Yeah, the Lemmy software seems to be pretty unstable. There isn’t a way to turn off the “web 2.0” crap and load all the replies at once, either. Makes it impossible to use your browser’s text search on the page to find a comment.

FWIW the dude was apparently stabbing people with a pen of all things. This doesn’t seem to be one of those vicious knife attacks, just someone completely off the rails.
Only a roast pork roll should have crackling. A regular pork roll shouldn’t.
But that isn’t an unpopular opinion. She’s largely a one-dimensional character. She’s a terrible captain who can’t delegate and has to do everything herself, and somehow never comes unstuck from rash decisions. It’s lazy writing.
Picard is the best diplomat, and the best actual captain, in terms of actually coordinating a crew and putting everyone’s talents to use. Kirk has the tendency to try and do everything himself and make rash decisions, but he regularly gets into trouble as a result and needs the rest of the crew to save his arse. Both of them are written with more depth than Janeway.
Heroin is relatively easy to quit if you can remove yourself from the situation. If you can't do that, it's very difficult.
Digital or not, it still involves a projector that can fail.
I never had a good one from a bakery. It's one of those things you need to bake at home.
It’s not bribery, it’s donations! Fucking corrupt cunts.
Victoria is running out of gas. There isn’t as much easily extracted gas left in Bass Strait. We also use more gas now, being more dependent on it for electricity generation than in the past. We’re now resorting to having gas shipped in from Western Australia, having to compete on price with China who also want the gas from WA. Gas is just going to keep becoming more expensive, but Melbourne and the rest of Victoria was built around the assumption that there will always be cheap and effectively unlimited gas flowing in from Bass Strait.
We need to do something about this now, before it gets to the point that there just isn’t enough gas and we have to resort to rationing. The environmental angle is nice and all, and makes people feel better about complying. But it needs to happen anyway, just for economic and practical reasons. And getting rid of gas appliances in homes is an easy win with the added benefit that you’re removing a source of combustion byproducts from homes, yielding health benefits.
The dairy processing industry in particular is very dependent on burning gas to generate heat for all their processes. They have facilities for using diesel in emergencies (which they had to use in the gas crisis near the end of the ’90s), but getting them off gas entirely is going to be a lot harder than switching to induction stoves and electric hot water. Gas-fired power plants are going to be here for a while, especially because they can throttle up and down relatively quickly which is important if you need to respond to drops in output from wind and solar.
You fail to understand just how big a large container ship is. If a shirt comes on a ship from China, the truck taking it from the warehouse to the shop emits more CO~2~ for that shirt than the ship did bringing it from to the port. In fact, if you walk for ten minutes to the shop and back, you have emitted more CO~2~ than the ship did to carry that shirt. A container ship emits a large total amount of CO~2~ because it’s very big, carrying a massive amount of cargo. But overall, shipping is one of the most efficient modes of transport we’ve invented.
Aren’t you dead already, Kerry? Also, the people who were locked down on boats were willfully violating rules concerning interstate travel.
