- Comment on Wood heater pollution is a silent killer. Here's where the smoke is worst 1 week ago:
It’s a consistent highly inefficient heat because it only smoulders, without a flame.
It will clog your chimney with creosote.
It’s also a horrible thing to do to yourself and your neighbours.
No efficient wood heater/stove is designed to burn like that.
If you want a slow release of heat you need to store it in masonry or water.

Masonry heater or don’t even bother.
It’s barely practical to run a typical modern Australian wood heater efficiently because they can’t store the heat of a blazing hot efficient smokeless burn.

Yep, need to get a hot blazing burn then it’s fairly clean (and efficient). Smaller wood is better – just keep loading it in.
Trouble is, no one ever listens. They throw on massive logs then crank the airflow right down for the lovely slow burn through the evening, then wedge in the biggest piece they can find and close the airflow “so it’s still burning in the morning” (*smouldering).

“Having carefully considered all these matters, we are unanimously of the opinion that the evidence was sufficiently cogent to support the findings that the appellant murdered four Afghan men and to the extent that we have discerned error in the reasons of the primary judge, the errors were inconsequential,” an executive summary from the court said.
- Comment on Australia spends $714 per person on roads every year – but just 90 cents goes to walking, wheeling and cycling 5 months ago:
And how much of that “cycling infrastructure” mileage and spending is on easy yet expensive and useless examples such as along freeways, in islanded suburbs where calm backstreets should suffice, or just mystery unconnected segments?
Does anyone know of any studies on this?

A possible ban on social media for under-16s in the UK is “on the table”, the technology secretary Peter Kyle has told the BBC.
- Comment on Australia’s social media ban for kids under 16 just became law. How it will work remains a mystery 8 months ago:
The likes of lemmy instances may be either small enough to fly under the radar, or handwaved away by legislators with “don’t worry it’s not the target of this legislation”, or even be given easy access to ministerial exemption …for now (maybe).
The kicker comes in 10-15 years’ time when, say, a government’s donor inconvenienced by protests organised using a self-hosted forum then asks the government to crack down on the age verification requirements of that forum, effectively silencing it due to the requirements being too onerous for a small forum, or the userbase being unwilling to submit their IDs/faceprints/whatever.
