It wouldn’t just be cruel — it would be genocide. 💀💀

Good riddance. Yet another lowballing courier undercutting what should be a natural monopoly for standard parcels operated by public-owned AusPost (unless the Libs get in again and have a go at privatising it).

BPA is found in polycarbonate plastics (acrylic) [...]

Polycarbonate (BPA monomer) is a very different polymer to acrylic/PMMA (methyl methacrylate monomer).

As per the quote below, a car loses about 0.08g of tread per km.

Compared to a car, a bike tyre is about the same diameter, 10% of the width (20mm), 28% usable tread depth ([2mm](https://sopuli.xyz/...)), has 50% less wheels, and can travel 10% the distance (~10000km).

This suggests a (very approximate) tread loss of 0.08 * 10% * 28% * 50% / 10% = ~ 0.01g per km for bicycles.

For replacing longer car journeys less typically travelled by bicycle, rail transport is the best solution and removes the issue of tyre wear.

Quoting [deleted] in r/theydidthemath:

Using the same assumptions as above (215/60R16 tires, 7mm of tread loss over 100,000 km), I estimate the loss of tread by volume from each tire as follows:

Cylinder with a diameter of 664 mm and a height of 215 mm has a volume of 74,412 cm3. Cylinder with a diameter of 664-(2x7)=650 mm and a height of 215 mm has a volume of 71,307 cm3. The volume difference between a new and worn out tire is 3105 cm3.

Typical land to sea ratio of tires is 60-70% land, depending on the type of tire. If we go with an about average value of close to 65% tread, we get the lost rubber volume of about 2000 cm3 or 2,000,000 mm3 over a single tires lifespan.

Each revolution of a tire loses about 0,04 mm3 of tread, which, according to Wolfram Alpha, is a bit less than the volume of a medium grain of sand.

If we look at the entire car with 4 tires over a kilometer of road, we get 80 mm3 or about 0,08 grams of tread lost per car per kilometer.

Hobbies can be ... "given up"?

*Moves the oscilloscope from the bench to the shelf next to the box of yarn and needles/hooks, carefully pushing aside the set of sharpening stones (used for kitchen knives, chisels, and scythes). The stereomicroscope atop the yarn box wobbles precariously so I move that to a safer spot between the seed cabinet and welding rods. I can now move the sewing machine to the space on the bench, extracting it from atop the vintage amp (awaiting new transistors) between the stack of langstroth frames and the 3 boxes of empty jars. But before I can finish sewing up the new couch upholstery I need to reassemble the motor after inspecting it following an overheating event caused by a faulty pedal (already fixed). The secateurs and grafting knives can be moved out of the way (thankfully that task is done because the scions were taking up way too much space in our small fridge [couldn't fridge leftovers for almost a month -- just scions, and the usual permanent residents like milks, condiments, cheese, carrots, and an entire shelf of 6 different lines of sourdough cultures]).*

I agree. It's just the title ABC News had on its article.

[alt-text for the vision-impaired] Image appears to be a twitter post from Craig Murray posted on 2023-10-14: "To be entirely plain. I have always viscerally opposed war. I have dedicated my life to conflict resolution and reconciliation. But in the coming Gaza genocide, every act of armed resistance by Hamas and Hezbollah will have my support. If that is a crime, send me back to jail."

Hmm. Could be seen as a rather outlandish thing to say in the immediate aftermath of 2023-10-07, but in hindsight with what we know now in terms of what atrocities the Israeli military forces have brought upon the people of Gaza since that attack on Israel, it seems a reasonable statement to support armed resistance against the coming episode of genocide which indeed materialised and continues today.

[...] the attack is an extremely expensive nation state level operation that doesn’t scale.

About $250 at most. Quoting the linked page:

Below is a list of equipment we used for the experiments.

• (1) Software Defined Ratio (SDR): Ettus USRP B210 USRP, ~$2100.
• (2) Low Noise Amplifier (LNA): Foresight Intelligence FSTRFAMP06 LNA, ~$200.
• (3) Directional Antenna: A common outdoor Log-periodic directional antenna (LPDA), ~$15.
• (4) A laptop, of course.

Note that the equipment can be replaced with cheaper counterparts. For example, USRP B210 can be replaced with RTL-SDR that costs ~$30.

To reproduce the attack: our GitHub repository provides the codes and instructions for reproducing and understanding the attack. We have prepared a ready-to-use software tool that can produce real-time reconstructions of the eavesdropped videos with EM signal input from the USRP device.

What then? Maybe 98% supports + 2% doesn't support the genocide?

That 2% because a genocide might be a bit inconvenient with an election coming up?

Try different types of coffee, even different regions or growing conditions.

Among arabica clutivars, Ethiopian beans seem to sit the best with me, Brazilian makes me anxious AF.

I suspect altitude might be the correlation -- Colombian, Kenyan, PNG also seem to sit well; Indian, Australian, Mexican also make me anxious.

Brewing methods can give different feels, too. Espresso vs filter vs cold drip.

Plus, is he an abolitionist?

Slavery, abortion, prison, or guns?
