  • yeah… Here in Australia, they were also the only political party around who never removed their shitty signage after the election (and they legally have to). I’m surprised the Election council didn’t do it for them and send them the bill. I think the problem with those wankers is that they constantly try to get away with dodgy actions, and they end up being successful so many times, that they just keep doing it









  • This isn’t a hard concept to understand imho.

    I agree, the amnesty didn’t turn in ALL firearms. That’s completely missing the point

    HOWEVER… The entire point of the amnesty, is to make it illegal for ownership of certain firearms, make them illegal to resell, etc., but you give people incentive to give up and make money from the ones they shouldn’t own

    Over time, you end up with far less guns in circulation.

    That’s what happened here in Australia.

    You might still have a huge amount of firearms, but the aim isn’t to solve the problem overnight. But, it saves a huge amount of the problem immediately, and over time, it solves the issue…

    It works… It worked for us. You’re playing the short game.

    You’re trying to argue that unless the solution is 100%, it isn’t worth pursuing.

    No, but we have some of the most effective protection against shootings in the world. So it would be silly to ignore a working solution. We don’t have a lot of the things on that list


  • They already changed that didn’t they?

    I was in denver 2 weeks ago, and didn’t seem like anyone was going to jail for cannabis…

    It didn’t stop gun violence.

    Gun violence has very little to do with drug legalisation. It seems like people are just tacking it on as something they want, but it seems fairly dishonest, especially since you guys are getting a lot of mass shootings at schools and such which clearly aren’t related. It might only reduce the number of smaller shootings

    Better gun control is the primary factor that stops gun violence in most countries. At this time, everyone in US treats them like toys and fashion accessories. So when someone is getting bullied or having a shitty week, its very easy for them to snap and react. Here in Australia, they can’t easily react by grabbing a gun.

    We pulled the majority of them out of circulation for a reason… And it worked



  • Where exactly did she do that. Source…

    That sounds like a Facebook statement where eople like you just keep coming up with increasingly absurd comments until you forget what the truth is (like those anti EV people on Facebook who have somehow convinced themselves that petrol is cleaner and EVs constantly blow up, because they just keep upping their own comments).

    So I’d really like a source on that one



  • It’s not about free electricity though. It’s about efficiency

    It’s not about cost

    The facts are, with hydrogen, you waste at least 40% of the energy excluding transport due to inefficiencies and manufacture and fuel wastage . So you need to build a lot more solar panels. You also need clean water to do it

    With electric, you waste less than 10%

    We don’t have hydrogen planes yet, and it might not really be that feasible (there are a lot of considerations for planes. I’ve actually got a pilot licence).

    With hydrogen, you need almost twice the solar panels to produce the same results

    You also need to consider, battery technologies are still early days. If lithium at the moment supports 1000km of travel, later generation lithium air can support 12000km with the same space.

    That’s why hydrogen has such limited applications too. Because even if you increase the density of lithium 2x, most applications where hydrogen benefits disappears

    But in reality we’d probably shift from lithium anyway I’m guessing

    Hydrogen still hugely better than gas though, and Trump is an idiot lol



  • Even at 100% efficiency when producing, the efficiency of the car will still be much lower than battery (even batteries from decades ago were 90%+ efficient).

    Electric distribution basically abstract the energy source away from the car (you can use any battery chemistry). You can also feed power back into the grid

    With hydrogen, realistically, you just need to pray you improve it long term. Because at the moment it’s an efficiency suckfest.

    But it’s awesome for petrol companies and dodgy salespeople who want to provide cheap fuel that continues to F**k us whilst undercutting green alternatives
