Three million?! Who the hell has that much?

At that point, 5% interest will give you an annual salary of $150k. You can comfortably live off that and never touch the Three Million!

I would be in favour of banning them in the city.
But a complete car ban? That won't have popular support in the near future.

Full disclosure: I honestly thought everyone could. 😆

As annoying as some escooter users are, I don't think this is the best solution. Far more idiots cause deaths in cars, no calls to ban those.

That sort of vote manipulation wouldn't be posted to this community. 😄

I'm a little surprised at how many people have seen this post. More people subscribe to Meta/browse Local than I would have guessed. Whichever it is, I love how engaged our users are in the health of the instance. You guys are great!

You are absolutely allowed to downvote anything you'd like to see less of. Yours was one of the two legitimate downvotes I was speaking of.

Nah, Eureka is legit. He just doesn't think news should be in Australia. And that's perfectly fine. There may come a time where we are getting enough content that we'll want to introduce that as a rule.

It has been reported, yes. I got the report because it was an aussie.zone user who reported it. As an admin, I can remove the post, but that will only remove it for aussie.zone users.

For reports on communities on other instances, I rarely take action unless one of my users is causing issues or the post is spam/something super nasty.

I've been twice, intending to go again at some point. The kids are keen on Japan being the next holiday destination. Maybe the one after that?

I was going to re-size this image to better reflect the real scale. But the required image was 468,000 pixels wide.

This image is pretty misleading. It's super easy to overlook that "900km" at the bottom. They would somehow transport the raw product 900km to existing infrastructure. This is on top of the problem of capturing the gas they want, while leaving behind the gas they don't want (CO2) - which makes up 40% of what's in there.

These are pretty significant bridges to cross. I don't want to say that they're dreaming, because the technology to do this does exist. But it's going to be super vital to hold them to the whole 'put the Carbon Dioxide back into the hole' part of the picture, and not just let them 'whoopsie, we accidentally let it loose into the atmosphere'.

The competition is built around actions seen in rugby union, rugby league, the NFL and AFL. Opposing individuals – a ball runner and a tackler – stand at each end of a 20m x 4m field, and run full speed at each other with the goal of trying to bowl each other over.

RUNIT Championship League released a statement to Stuff on Tuesday afternoon after news of Satterthwaite’s death was made public, saying it did “not encourage any copying of the sport as it should only be done under the strict conditions”.

I don't know what to say in response to that. Nobody (even a teenager) who actually thought about it would read this and think it sounds like a good idea. As a dad to a teenage son, it hits a bit close to home - feeling terrible for the family, but also wondering how you teach a teenage boy not do such stupid stuff.

I remember being young and invulnerable as well. I think teenage me could have been talked into doing this. That kid was an idiot.
