In Australia, to get a sufficient amount of vitamin D you just need to be outside for a few minutes a day.
Tasmania enters the chat. As repeated on The Health Report some podcats ago, you can lie naked outdoors for hours in winter and not get anough sun exposure to impact D levels.

Well, the previous Geeens housing spokesperson, Max , used to donate 1/2 his wage to a homeless chairty and rented. This was too egregious for Brisbanites, so they voted him oit at the last month election.
- Comment on Five young teens on life under Australia’s social media ban: ‘It’s not a big deal any more’ 2 days ago:
That’s how the government eliminates the basic rights. Step by step. Starting with small things. Almost always with “defend children” slogans
I always wondered why they didn’t let kids have sex, smoke cigarettes, drive cars, drink alcohol forced them to go to school etc. /s
Its not like there isnt endless amounts of research showing social medias toxicity. Better to ban it outright but here we are.

Sure, unless you’re a roofer, or plumber, or sparky pulling cable in a roof cavity because fuck those guys yeah ?
My sister says she doesn’t care and doesn’t see what the ptoblem is, she works in AC, has AC in her car, visits AC shopping centres etc. Though I am sure if the AC at home shits itself, she’ll want the refrig. mechanics out fixing it in 45c heat, or if Callide shits the bed yet again and her power goes off , she’ll unironnically expect them to work through the day to fix it.

- Comment on An Company(ies) that Converts Classic Automobiles to Automobiles with Solar Panels Built into Their Skins? 3 weeks ago:
Solar panels on cars are a needless gimmick. Better mounting a lot of them on the roof of your home and charge off that (and feed into the grid etc)
Whike converting and old ice car to electirc is possible it’s going to be a shitty idea, theres a reason ecars use a skateboard design and no axels etc
Better to ride a bicycke, much better.
