I know for a fact, I've driven througout sweden šŸ˜„

forest edge
#

and those are the people who complain the most that you "hear"

umbral cliff
#

So densify cities

forest edge
#

it's one of those things that you would have to live it to understand it

#

and who knows, maybe by the time your my age maybe au will experince some of it

umbral cliff
#

Keeping in mind I’ve lived in China before too

forest edge
#

and how did you like living in china?

#

did you actually live in one of your "densified cities"?

#

american's are sardined as much as they will tolerate right now

umbral cliff
#

I lived in Beijing. Which has the same population as australia. It’s still got sprawl

umbral cliff
forest edge
#

we don't want to cram 50 people in a 30ftx30ft apartment

umbral cliff
forest edge
#

I think your idea of sprawl and mine are two diffrent things lol

umbral cliff
#

You don’t need those huge suburbs or huge parking lots the USA is known for

forest edge
#

but we do

#

by our standards even atx's suburb is too compact lol

umbral cliff
# forest edge but we do

You don’t though. Parking can be resolved by public transport. Housing people have to get used to living closer

clear ferry
#

Come think of it, I've probably been to more US states than most americans šŸ¤”

umbral cliff
#

It’s called adaptation

forest edge
umbral cliff
forest edge
#

you guys are super compact as well

#

from the video's i've seen. your not as bad as china but you all live ontop of each other more than we american's would like

umbral cliff
#

Eg, Kauffman stadium in Kansas, holds 37,000 people in it. The other is the mcg in australia, holds 100,000 people

#

Notice how little parking is needed

umbral cliff
forest edge
#

every game that parking lot ovberfills to the point where people walk for a mile just to go see it

umbral cliff
#

Because they take the train or the tram

#

Or the bus

forest edge
#

they do that here as well

umbral cliff
#

Then why is that large carpark needed

forest edge
#

but that's besides the point that the parking lots most certianly fills up and gets used lol

#

you underestimate the sheer amount of people that go to those things lol

umbral cliff
#

Parking lots are ugly (as you said) and take up so much space

forest edge
#

you have a parking lot fetish you know that

umbral cliff
forest edge
#

50k is alot of people lol

umbral cliff
#

Mcg hits the 100,000 mark at least semi-annually

#

That’s double

#

With not a carpark in sight

forest edge
#

and ontop of those people inside the stadium, people go and sit in the parking lot

umbral cliff
#

Average capacity is 60-80k

#

Summer or winter

#

Cricket or afl

forest edge
#

so your MCG takes up more space than our stadium and parking lot combined...

#

sooo

umbral cliff
#

How did you get that

forest edge
#

just looked at your stadium

umbral cliff
orchid rose
#

MCG is a circle of about 300m in diameter. The Kauffman is about 250x300m

umbral cliff
#

So the stadium itself is roughly the same size, ignoring the carpark

#

….

#

Sonoma can’t do maths again

forest edge
#

i can't do maths? your trying to clump two seperate stadiums to one lol

umbral cliff
#

I don’t get why you’re arguing the car parks are a good use of space after you just said they’re ugly when they’re in your area

forest edge
#

when you size the lot + stadium it's the same size as your mcg

#

so i don't get what your point is

umbral cliff
forest edge
#

so instead of parking lot, you just got more building

umbral cliff
#

That’s not how maths works

#

If the stadium is roughly the same size, then either you’re not counting the carpark, or you’re only counting part of it

forest edge
#

google measure, blame it not me

umbral cliff
#

Gonna provide screenshots?

#

Of what you measured

forest edge
#

same size yet you fit double the capacity?

#

what were saying about maths?

umbral cliff
forest edge
#

point is, the parking lot and the stadium for that lot takes up the same space as your mcg

#

sooo

mystic mulch
#

you guys are forgetting the volume as a factor now too

forest edge
#

i don't get why your hung up on the parking lot

umbral cliff
umbral cliff
umbral cliff
forest edge
forest edge
#

well like i said, blame google not me

umbral cliff
#

Why not just provide a screenshot of your measuring

forest edge
#

according to it your mcg and one of our stadiums plus it's lot is the same size roughly

umbral cliff
#

So provide a screenshot of your proof

forest edge
#

so rather it be parking lot or just more building.. same diff

mystic mulch
#

nah im just stuffing around- but u cant rlly reference the mcgs oval's radius as it has two radiuses bc its not a circle

forest edge
#

because this is a dumb conversation and your capable of doing your own leg work

mystic mulch
#

id say the most important factors are seating capacities, oval area, and other facilities including the car park as a plus, but a plus of the mcg has ptv

forest edge
#

can't have parking lot bbq's at the mcg tho..

#

which is a huge thing here

#

people stay at the park for hours before a game and many hours after

umbral cliff
#

I got 700x280m (assuming just the top two car parks and not any of the others) for Kauffman and 300x300m for the mcg (roughly)

mystic mulch
#

that is true, does your oval have restaurants?

umbral cliff
#

Also driving to a game is stupid since you can’t drink, gotta have a few beers or whatever whilst watching

forest edge
#

you can't drink

#

we do

umbral cliff
#

You do realise we also have an allowance for drinking then driving?

forest edge
#

parking lots in the us are not going anywhere anytime soon.. that's just a fact that is unescapable

umbral cliff
#

It’s just stupid to do so

umbral cliff
forest edge
#

or we'll shut our borders

#

whichever

umbral cliff
#

Actually do. Then Americans don’t have to travel overseas. Win win

forest edge
#

world is heading towards a cyberpunk game anyways

forest edge
#

we travel to throw our litter on your ground

umbral cliff
#

This is one thing I don’t think I’ll ever get, why Americans have the largest egos and think that to win they just need to abuse and spit on everyone else

#

Because everyone laughs at that tactic

forest edge
#

firs tthing i'm going to do when i visit norway is throw poo at @clear ferry mudhut

#

it's just what we do

umbral cliff
#

Please never come to australia

umbral cliff
#

It’s what I’ve seen all over

#

So I can’t ever see it as a joke anymore lol

forest edge
#

well we see things skewed from other countries too

#

we're all guilty

forest edge
#

but on that note, many Americans think we should stop doing what we always done and pull back and just focus on ourselves for a change. curious how that would impact the world seriously speaking

umbral cliff
#

But like with any major player pulling out, it would cause a bit of instability

#

No different than any of the top 10 there

forest edge

any downsides to using AWS glacier deep archive for photo backup? other option is b2 thus far

which i will hopefully not need to do

hmm, amazon photos is free since i have prime... though i sort of feel like i will just be doing this again in a couple years when they change their mind like google

or if i ditch prime

I do google unlimited for $10 a month fixed, and jottacloud unlimited for $7 a month fixed

#

then I do crypt mount on both of those

i think i need so little that b2 will be rather cheap. not even sniffing 250gb, so it should be like $1/mo

I'm planning on setting up a box at my parents' house that I can do remote backups to.

In America, you are most likely to die due to a gang attack. In Australia you're most likely to die due to getting kicked in the balls by Kangaroo or bitten by a spider.

Kangaroos too depending where in the city

You're an aussie right?

pretty good video of what more common smaller tornados are like. not many videos show multiple viewpoints of the same area. https://youtu.be/T2Qu7cgwJmw

Surveillance cameras at Prairie Creek Elementary School in Andover, Kansas, captured an EF-3 tornado as it struck the school and a nearby YMCA on April 29, 2022. No students were in the building when the tornado struck, and no one lost their life in the Andover community. The Prairie Creek building sustained substantial damage in the storm.

and all it takes it was squashed to trap all remaining 29 cars rotf

And if insurance/ the body corporate had acted fast everyone would’ve been paid out for their stuck car and then it’s on the insurance to get them out

well if they didn't need them then why they complaining? how those cars get there to begin with

#

maybe not all aussies feel as you do šŸ¤”

umbral cliff
#

A) you’re using a segment from a current affair (designed to be trashy & provocative),
B) even though you may not use a car that much, you might still have one (eg me, don’t need it for the shops or work but it’s useful)
C) Some people do happen to be out of the range of the PT network, because it’s not had money spent on it

maybe you should check on your car.. that might be yours squashed down there in the video lmao

Never said we were ideal, just that for some things we have done better

Just because there’s ownership doesn’t mean you can’t improve public transport you know…

oh lord the new litter robot 4 is like 650 bucks

it's similar sticker shock to when phones crossed $1000 and along with robot vacuums.

forest edge

yea the 3 connect was 500 lol

static schooner
#

I've tried pretty much every automatic catbox and it's definitely the best, but they know it

forest edge
#

well it's a made in america product too lol

static schooner
#

I do like the fact that they don't gouge you by requiring certain specific litter or bags

forest edge
#

the litter robot 4 weighs the cat which is nice, tempting for that feature alone

static schooner
#

I wish they could make it less gigantic, but that would probably require smaller cats šŸ™‚

forest edge
#

the review i read says the 4 has a smaller footprint than the 3

static schooner
#

it's the height that's the problem for me. I have it in my laundry room and it gets in the way of the drier door

forest edge
#

the whole thing has been redone, aside from the core way of how it works every piece is diffrent

#

ah yea, dunno if the 4 is taller or not

static schooner
#

that's where the ones with a rake were better, but they're clearly inferior in all other ways

forest edge
#

i like the ramp for 3 which dosen't seem to be an option for the 4

static schooner
#

I also saw that they have some fence addon that prevents cats from shoveling litter outside the globe, which mine do all the time

forest edge
#

the 3 has that, it's not as pronounced as it's rubber unlike the 4's being a snap on plastic

static schooner
#

that rubber thing does nothing other than give my cats something to scratch up while trying to move litter

forest edge
#

I didn't care for how tall it looked in the video.. cats stepping over that might be an issue

#

lol

#

works for me

clear ferry
#

Kitten nerds

static schooner
#

it's a fine line between making it unattractive or impossible for cats to get in there and containing the litter

forest edge
#

time will tell how the 4 pans out. they redid all the sensors to try and adress the 3's failures etc so we'll see if those last

#

but the ability to track each cats weight is just so nice

static schooner
#

I bypassed the "pinch" sensor because it kept malfunctioning

forest edge
#

the review i read said they are gonna release a way (based on cats weight i imagine) for the thing to distinguish which cat uses it

I just added some spade connectors and tied the leads together

it really sucks to come home after work to find that the litterbox has decided to stop in the upside down position

I just don't understand why anyone would pay $500 for a litter box that you still have to empty. CatGenie all the way.

static schooner
#

I have one of those sitting in my garage

weak otter
#

Had problems?

static schooner
#

it was okay for one cat once they stopped trying to sleep in it, but the cycle time is really, really long and was problematic with more than one cat

weak otter
#

Yeah it is like a 20min cycle time

static schooner
#

I would find that one cat would use it, it would start its cycle, and then there were 20mins of "no catbox" that was a problem

#

I really wanted to like it, and only had one cat when I had it in service, but it's not an option with the 2 I have now

weak otter
#

Just setting it to run a certain number of times a day didn't solve it?

static schooner
#

there's still a long period of time where it's out of commission, and cats don't understand that

weak otter
#

Hilarious that they tried to sleep in it

static schooner
#

I have a picture somewhere

#

it's warm and circular

#

everything a cat would want

weak otter
#

haha true

#

I don't have cats anymore, but it worked really well for me. I can see it depending on the cat's though.

#

Then again you could always just get two of them for about the same price as one of those other ones

#

can't believe how expensive those are for what they are

static schooner
#

I also didn't like that they lock you into the cleaning cartridges and special litter

#

and some cats just hate that litter for some reason

weak otter
static schooner

yeah, reminded me of the ink cartridge and Keurig lock-ins

For me just never having to mess with it is worth paying for their cartridges.

but you don't have to empty bags of crap

I still have it and a bunch of supplies, just not sure whether I want to inflict it on someone else

it's so different that it's a hard sell

weak otter
#

What is the emptying process like on the litter robot?

forest edge
#

yea the tray cleaning is way easier than dealing with something that complex lol

static schooner
#

one thing they recommend is dumping having it eject into the toilet, but again, kinda gross

pull out tray, grab bag, tie off bag, put in new bag

# coarse coral Are you saying that I should waste 50€ on an SSD just for the Home Assistant?

Just to butt in - I tried using an SSD in a USB caddy (PITA doing it, didn't work in the end, total waste of time) but you can get specialist SDs that are a little more expensive but far more reliable and resilient, which is what I opted for in the end. Here's a decent guide https://home-assistant-guide.com/2020/10/14/the-best-microsd-cards-for-home-assistant/

also if its lead acid, you only want to discharge them as little as possible, ideally not under 50%

Zoo is a 2007 American documentary film based on the life and death of Kenneth Pinyan, an American man who died of peritonitis due to perforation of the colon after engaging in receptive anal sex with a horse. The film's public debut was at the Sundance Film Festival in January 2007, where it was one of 16 winners out of 857 candidates. Followin...

Fortunately preferences are usually exhausted by the the time you get down that far. Also even if you know a candidate has a snowball's chance in hell of getting elected but you really like their policies you should still put them first. Your preferences flow on to your next choices once they are eliminated, but they get funding next election based on how many primary votes they got.

No I meant journalists claiming that this one fumble was the low point of the campaign

But never mention anything about the past 9 years

Of all the LNP's corruption

It's not just the ABC (which has had their board stacked with News Corp peeps), it's News Corp, 7 West Media and Nine Fairfax

#

Sure. But it's the media's job to accurately paint a picture of the past performance and what's actually going on

#

The election campaign shouldn't be where this starts

#

Forgetting a number (that's arguably wrong anyway because 1 hour of working per week isn't working to me) isn't a low point

umbral cliff
#

The whole election season was the gotcha numbers, and going from that scomo did manage to get them all. Albo missed a few. Not that it’s an accurate or nice way of doing an election

#

Though disagree about abc being liberal heavy, given they’re the main ones who pounce on their fraud or fake statements or the 4 corners investigations into the LNP shit going on

Compulsory voting, also called mandatory voting, is the requirement in some countries that eligible citizens register and vote in elections. Penalties might be imposed on those who fail to do so without a valid reason. According to the CIA World Factbook, 21 countries, including 10 Latin American countries, officially had compulsory voting as o...
