ah ok, what’s your reasoning for this one?
German authorities are suspecting that the attack plans were based on an Islamist motive and that it would be carried out by car. The suspects include a 56-year-old Egyptian, a 37-year-old Syrian and three Moroccans aged 22, 28 and 30.

- Comment on Spiralling costs spark 'urgent' overhaul of $2.3b battery subsidy scheme 2 weeks ago:
I’m getting a genset and some diesel and disconnecting
Worth looking into Ecoflows, I know they use them in Ukraine for portable power
au.ecoflow.com/…/ecoflow-delta-pro-3-portable-pow…
Even a 4kw with solar will do >50% of your daily power needs and added bonus you don’t have all the noise and fumes that come with a diesel generator, save that for emergencies
- Comment on Spiralling costs spark 'urgent' overhaul of $2.3b battery subsidy scheme 2 weeks ago:
Other industry participants, who were not authorised to comment because of their work advising the government, said the scheme had created significant waste.
They pointed out that most households were only using about 10 kilowatt hours of power overnight and would struggle to fill a system with five times as much storage.
what are they talking about…
the average solar system is now 10kw’s, I have 6.6kw and can do 35kw in a day, on top of that what happens if you have multiple days of low sunlight? or in winter when you want the sun that does come through to last as long as possible
you want oversized batteries, they last longer as there’s less wear on them and the utility they offer (self-consumption) is increased
One critic said: “You end up with a lot of batteries that will never fill up, just sitting there empty forever, paid for by the Australian taxpayer.”
Why does the ABC not take 5 seconds to literally ask anyone with a bigger battery what their usage is like?

good luck to them
- Comment on Age verification errors see some under-16s retain access to banned social media platforms 2 weeks ago:
The government expected this, it’s not a flat ban, if anything the law is entirely reasonable
It’s only age-restricted social media platforms that face penalties *if they fail to take reasonable steps to stop under-16s creating or having accounts. *
- Comment on Age verification errors see some under-16s retain access to banned social media platforms 2 weeks ago:
They predicted it and were trying to set expectations 6 months ago:
eSafety Commissioner Julie Inman Grant said work to implement the laws was on track but people should not expect that all under-16s would be scrubbed from social media as soon as the ban was in place.
www.abc.net.au/news/2025-06-24/…/105454838
“This legislation does not give us a mandate to cut the Coral Cable or deplatform social media apps on stores,” she told the National Press Club in Canberra on Tuesday.
“Nor should we create expectations that every child’s social media account will magically disappear overnight.”
In her address, she characterised the controversial laws as a social media “delay” rather than an outright ban, despite its blanket application for all Australians under the age of 16 — even if they already own an account or have parental consent.

because more and more evidence is showing that social media is cancer, it’s a bit like asking why in the 90’s there was suddenly a rush towards outlawing smoking
- Comment on Reddit files legal challenge against social media ban for under-16s 2 weeks ago:
then they leave and the whole country is banned from reddit, nice!
- Comment on Reddit files legal challenge against social media ban for under-16s 2 weeks ago:
tbf that wouldn’t realllly impact me that much, it’s just reddit and youtube that I use, and the social media ‘ban’ doesn’t block you from accessing reddit or youtube, it’s not like you get a big “BLOCKED! UR UNDER 16!” page come up, you just can’t sign up for an account, so reddit and youtube still work I’d just not be able to see adult content on those sites
- Comment on Reddit files legal challenge against social media ban for under-16s 2 weeks ago:
tbf i’d go even further, I’d ban over 65’s as well 😶🌫️
- Comment on Reddit files legal challenge against social media ban for under-16s 2 weeks ago:
so you’re in favour of it then? less need for parents to worry about what misinformation and disinformation is being supplied by paid actors on facebook, win/win ?
- Comment on Reddit files legal challenge against social media ban for under-16s 2 weeks ago:
Hey both of these are covered on the FAQ
proxy to bypass blocked sites was common knowledge
It’s not a technological block, the social media sites will rely on a variety of signals, for example if you sign up for a facebook account in USA, but take a selfie geolocating you in australia and image scan picks up that you might be under 16, you’ll still get pinged for id check
amongst the smarter kids
They are targeting all under 16’s, and this is mentioned as well, even if 10% of kids get around the ban somehow, the fact that 90% don’t removes a huge part of the social in social network

from my pov if being a nanny state lets kids be more like kids and less like little phone addicts having their dopamines blown I don’t mind it
there are other countries looking at doing the same

Over the course of October and November, the pair visited the casino multiple times, winning a total of $1.18m, which raised suspicions at Crown, police alleged.
Should have stuck to 100k, could be back in Kazakhstan living it up

Cool, so you’re not off grid. That last 10% is the hardest part, the most expensive part. The part that stops people from ever being able to be off grid.
Stop talking shit mate LOL! it’s because I bought my battery in 2022 for 16k, today I can buy a 40kw battery for 6k:
PLUS • Standard Price: $5,999 • OzBargain: $5,899 (Single-phase 10kW, 4 MPPTs + 41.93kWh Battery)
www.ozbargain.com.au/node/925016
I also saw recently 50kw storage:
[NSW, VIC, QLD] 53.2KWH Solis Storage (Alpha Battery)& 8KW Single Phase Solis Inverter $6399 Installed @ Hybrid Solar
www.ozbargain.com.au/node/935342
You know how prices have rapidly come down for solar and batteries? and generation and storage capacities have gone up? I’m making the crazy prediction that this trend will continue… crazy I know!
This is in 2025, do you seriously believe in 2030 or 2040 we’ll be back to 10kw storage again? that there will be no gains in solar panels for the next 30 years?
The price of solar panels and batteries will only go up
🤦♂️ The fuck is this? Are you trolling me?
Anyway I’m done with this conversation, you don’t know shit and instead of learning and growing as a human you seem content to fill in anything you don’t know with shit and having shit fantasies about the future, this might be the dumbest conversation I’ve ever had on energy ever. good day sir.
