I'm not sure I agree with the authors take on the unfairness to the greens here. The greener electorates manage to elect green MPs. In the seats where they are close, the preferential voting system works as intended. The conservatives can say hey I want the libs in but if they don't make it I would rather labour over the greens.
How else should it be done? As far as I can see switching to a first past the post system would be significantly worse.
Blender has a decent cam processor add-on. Solve space and openSCAD are other very good parametric CAD programs.
Solve space and openSCAD are both great options. I have been learning solve space lately and it is great. I couldn't learn freecad, something about the UI and workflow was just too unintuitive for me.
I was burnt by fusion 360. Had some of "my" designs locked in the cloud when they spent 2 weeks and a dozen emails trying to "fix" my educator access. The fix they really wanted was my credit card details. I refuse to use or teach anyone to use that ecosystem now.
Not defending the lack of updates in any way. But you can fix this if you login with a browser and enable all languages in your account settings.
Watch the media turn on anyone that tries such sensible shit. And then watch the voters lap it up.
Even with 2 sigma confidence lines there is barely a correlation in a lot of this data. If we looked at the 3 sigma confidence lines there would be nothing here.
I remember one study had such a small sample size that a single man having a heart attack on his way to work was the bulk of evidence used to criticize the time switch. A scientist with an agenda can usually get their position published even if it's questionable.
The overall evidence weakly suggests there are negative health effects here when we make a time switch. But if it was truly a large statistical shift with high confidence values then we probably would have a much stronger scientific case to address time shifts in our society cycles. We would also have to include a much wider study. Are there papers looking at the possible beneficial effects of these time switches out there? And lastly, is this even worth the research time and potential implementation cost?
As it stands now, it's basically just a bunch of people's personal preference of when they want more light relative to the standard work day. Personally I would be happy to use UTC worldwide and just shift the hours appropriately with location, but that won't fly with most people.
It's crazy. I'm expecting a bunch of forced academic redundancies in April/May. I don't expect her to last a full term, but she will take a lot of others out on the way.

This is too real.
I assumed these are small fpv drones? They have kind of broken the traditional warfare dynamics and are more like ground force+ without the traditional air to air susceptibility.
But I like the tannins!
Whilst trace lithium is important for many biological functions, it seems unlikely to me that a particular tree would require significant quantities of lithium to thrive.
Having a quick google it seems the issue is a particular forest that exists in a place that companies wished to prospect for lithium. I couldn't find any evidence of a high lithium dependence for Jarrah trees.
I would be very surprised if it's not possible for us to mine lithium deposits and also have healthy forests. Though typically companies just care less about flattening acers to get to the money making rocks.
People in the minority of their electorate will always feel a bit salty about the outcome, but that's unsolvable. Having the senate mitigates this already in my opinion, where the greens have roughly proportional representation. There is perhaps an argument to make the senate pool federal rather than state and territory based (looking at you Tasmania).
Moving the lower house to a federal type pool would remove any chance of area localised representation. Not that our current system is great at that with most MPs only caring about the party line, but at last some electorates have members that care about local issues.
