China is pushing to decarbonize its steel industry by shifting to green technologies like electric arc furnaces. As China reduces its reliance on Australian metallurgical coal and traditional iron ore (hematite) for steel production, Australia's key exports are at risk.
To adapt, Australia must invest in green iron processing and hydrogen to align with China's new supply chains.
Australia has flourished as an export powerhouse for decades. Much of this prosperity has been driven by the nation’s natural endowment with two important
Australia is like the USA when it comes to trade in this neck of the woods: if you're not buying what they're selling, they don't change what they sell, they just whine loudly and claim you're doing "protectionism".
They do, yes. Between the royal rogering they're taking from their "allies" and their increasing irrelevance as they refuse to change to match the shape of the market around them they're going to be fucking themselves with a spiked, rusty dildo before long (and blaming it on China, natch, along with sunspots).
i hear seemingly conflicting informational with regards to chinas energy transition. while almost everybody reports that they've expanded renewable energy production, many also report they're continuing to expand fossil fuel-based energy production
At the same time, President Sutter said that the government was “disappointed” with the new tariffs, as the rate was higher than the previously announced 31%. According to her, the US duties had a negative impact on the engineering and watch sectors.
Joh's Queensland where street marches & protests were banned. The police special branch targeted dissenters. We may not always agree with those marching on streets & over bridges. The alternative is politicians having the only say. #auspolabc.net.au/news/2022-04-30/har…

legend of the galactic heroes it is very good. phezzan is an independent planet astride a strategically important corridor that likes playing both sides of a galactic war off each other, staging false flag attacks to instigate conflict, and making fat stacks of cash off tolls. they secretly follow a cult that says they are the chosen people who will lead the galaxy and rule over the lesser gentiles elsewhere i warmly recommend
Some genocide apologist told me last week how Israel is being so very careful... "no carpet bombing", they said. How can people delude themselves so thoroughly?
March of the white shoe brigade. Here's the situation in Brisbane after David Crisafulli & Jarrod Bleijie reneged on the no new stadium for Victoria Park pledge. Heritage laws suspended, housing crisis all but forgotten as the Crisafulli Colosseum fuels property prices & saps resources. #qldpol
Alan MacLeod- From Star Wars pages to Rasta forums, the CIA’s secret websites helped spies communicate, track targets, and manipulate narratives, even among America’s friends.
@Maddad ☑️ Do keep in mind that during the 14th century they were dumping their pool and drinking out of the same rivers, sans any sort of treatment in either direction and there was no such thing as antibiotics back then.
Attempting a slow transition away from Spotify to Apple Music, and it still surprises me how terrible Apple is at making software that gives the user any kind of agency or depth of utility.
You would think, if a song was playing, and you liked that song, there might be a way, in the menu, to "Go to Artist" or "Go to Album", but nah, you have to go to the search screen and type it in yourself and then search.
I would be extremely appreciative of anyone who wants to tell me I'm an idiot and I've missed something.
In the view showing the album cover up top, with controls down below, tap on the artist name just under the song name. (Or have I misunderstood? Apologies if so)
On a positive note, I'm glad the Apple Classical app exists. It's just as terrible as the normal Apple Music app, but the fact that it's available is very nice, because managing classical music in Spotify is hellish, every search just returns some generic Classical Chill compilation album.
I dreamed last night about all the people I've lost, who've left me, one after the other, and woke up thinking: I need to contact them. I reached out to them before to see about working things out, but I should do it again, now.
And I rolled over and started writing to one...and hit a roadblock, because I couldn't think of a reason that I should actually trust these people again. If someone is so cold and so cowardly, or just hates me so much, that they ditch me forever without a single word over some petty bullshit, why on earth should I want that person in my life?
Do your best to keep your friends — it's hard to make them as an adult — but if some spineless, deceitful worm leaves you, as much as it hurts, you're better off without them.
I've got my issues, for certain, but three things you can be sure of when dealing with me: I will never lie to you, I will never intentionally leave you in the dust, and I will never back down when you need me. To some people, these are negative traits, and this says a lot about them.
I dont normally listen to gay podcasts but when I do its the Perfume Nationalist. This episode on Married With Children reveals a lot without saying it out loud.
alright i have finished order of eclesia and i gotta say
man, they desserved way better, that has to be the actual most depresing ending in the entire castlevania series
you know you kinda get used to seeing the protagonist along with his friends outside as draculas castle collapses but seeing shanoa, all alone with no words spoken completes that bittersweet feeling to the ending
Poor dracula thought those beam skeletons were badass back in Rondo little did he know some random woman would show up and get OP because of those shits
anyways luckily the game was challenging enough that it distracted me from how bleak everything was almost how it feels to be in an adrenaline rush i didn't stop until i got rid of dracula and only then it hit me
from beginning to end it was fun cept for the fucking large cavern, fuck that place can't say im a full fan of the areas being segmented as sort of stages and i can say the part i enjoyed the most was the entirety of draculas castle
the glyph system was great, like being able to alternate between two weapons/spells in real time and make combos with them from a combat point of view i think OoE has the best combat in the series
speaking of combat the balance was fine most of the game with only some 1 area and 2 bosses making me say "oh that damage is bullshit"
music wise goddamn i fucking loved the soundtrack it's full of bangers and action packed songs and with that very castlevania like feel
It's worth trying hard mode because they redid the game enough to make "Now you have to actually care about weaknesses or you eat shit and you can NEVER, EVER damage tank" viable but you may not want to actually clear it
I prefer systems and stories with emphasis on roleplay and player input, particularly Powered by the Apocalypse-based systems. More than happy to GM as well.
I've created my own systems, the most developed and successful of which is a setting that takes Dungeons and Dragons to its natural conclusion: the "good" races are victorious against the races of "evil" and have now become the colonizers of the kobolds, trolls, ogres, gnolls, and so forth — which the players now play as in this new world that sees them as nothing but monsters. I call it People, Too and the PDF of the core book is attached.

Sacramento electric utility sent everyones smartmeter data to authorities to trigger police raids based on energy consumption greater than 2800kWh per month.
Sacramento residents discovered their utility company has been secretly feeding their private energy data to police without warrants, leading to a massive su...
@dever It's not like you need smart meters to do this. In the early 2000's I was running an ISP out of my basement using 64-port terminal servers and discrete modems. The total power draw was around 7kw. I had the Windows blacked out and boarded over because I didn't want anyone stealing my equipment. The cops come one day, without a search warrant, and claim someone called from the basement claiming they were being held hostage and they had to see. If that isn't the largest load of horse manure there ever was. But the truth is the power company had reported my electric usage, they did the math and figured oh 4 or 5 metal-halide lamps growing pot, what a disappointment it had to be to them to see it's just a bunch of computer equipment. The Forth Amendment isn't worth the paper it was written on when there all the cops have to do is make up a bullshit story.

Idk I feel like technology peaked long ago and all these techbros have been doing is coming up with shit we don't need to amass their fortunes. It should have been that once technological advances reached their heights, that man-made problems should've been tackled. Instead there's been nothing but a heightened promotion of consumerist culture that has been passively accepted. This of course has happened because capitalism and white supremacy have not been abolished. This is a natural progression of an oppressive class that has stolen and killed to get where they are. Ridding the world of their ills means they should vanish and lose all their power. Thats what our liberation is contingent upon.
"There are 8 billion humans, and we should aim to serve every single one…."
The problem is, some of those 8 billion people are fascists, racists, transphobes and pedophiles. A "big fedi" would be a surveillant, fascist, capitalist fedi. Nah! Embrace the niche
This is the actual gas works at Gas Works park at night. I won't lie, I snuck in after hours and climbed the hill to get this shot decades ago. The eerie sky is the city lights reflecting off the clouds above.

“It’s the best depression any country has ever had. No one has ever seen such a Great Depression. In fact, I just came up with that term, Great Depression. No one’s ever done that before. ” - Donald Trump, probably one year from now.
Republicans may be fixing to crash the economy again — Republican presidents oversaw 10 of the last 11 recessions and the Republican Great Depression — and they’re doing it to satisfy the greed of the billionaires they serve.
Palestinian women deserve safety. Palestinian women deserve freedom. Palestinian women deserve protection. Palestinian women deserve belief. Palestinian women deserve care. Palestinian women deserve justice. Palestinian women deserve to live.
