It’s all too silly to actually engage with it, but I think Answers in Genesis are talking about carnivorous dinosaurs potentially becoming ‘vegetarian’ for the duration of their stay on the ark: answersingenesis.org/…/dinosaurs-ark-how-possible…

Ah, yeah, that’ll do it!
- Comment on Ebike ‘swarms’ descend on roads and parks across Australia as meet-ups gather pace 6 days ago:
These are different; they require pedalling and are top speed limited to 25km/hr.
That may be the law, but I see e-bikes daily that have been modified to remove those restrictions. In the video in the linked article I can see maybe one person pedal.
I mean they could just get an actual motor bike at 16 anyway
They have to pass a written test on the road rules, and yeah, they have to actually be 16. The motorbike also has to have registration plates and they can be penalised or lose their licence.

Bikes paths? Maybe we can use this to get the boomers on board with spending money on bike infrastructure!
- Comment on Ebike ‘swarms’ descend on roads and parks across Australia as meet-ups gather pace 6 days ago:
Yeah, of all the e-bike incidents for people to be concerned about, this one gets traction? I guess it’s it’s just this one is visually interesting, and for some people is emblematic of the disregard that actually is dangerous in other situations?

Hey, what if we gave every teenager a motorbike, and didn’t make them do any kind of driving test? That’s probably a good idea, right?

- Comment on Cameron Corner celebrates New Year's Eve three times in one night, on three state borders 3 weeks ago:
Also, there’s three three-way time-offset junctions in Europe (at this time of year), but they all have ‘hard’ international borders. If the junctions were in the Schengen Area, then it’d be like Cameron Corner, but I don’t think you can legally walk freely between countries (and time zones) at these three points, without using an official point of entry (I might be wrong about that, though).
- Comment on Cameron Corner celebrates New Year's Eve three times in one night, on three state borders 3 weeks ago:
I got curious about whether this was possible in the U.S., and it looks like it isn’t!
There’s a point where 3 time zones meet - at the border junction of Nevada, Utah and Arizona - but that’s only during the northern hemisphere’s summer, when most of Arizona is on daylight saving time.

- Comment on As of December 10th, You need to be sixteen to use Aussie.Zone 1 month ago:
I had previously got a similar impression from the eSafety Commissioner’s publication of those lists of platforms, but it does not seem to be the case they are actually defining regulation there. The lists seem to be, essentially, only statements of intent about which platforms that eSafety will seek enforcement of compliance on.
See here: …gov.au/…/which-platforms-are-age-restricted
eSafety does not have a formal role in declaring which services are age-restricted social media platforms. In the absence of any rules made by the Minister of Communications specifying a service is either an age-restricted social media platform or not an age-restricted social media platform, any determination that a service is or is not an age-restricted social media platform is a matter for the court.
