It’s a consistent highly inefficient heat because it only smoulders, without a flame.

It will clog your chimney/flue 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).

Catches the train and supports other principled causes:

Long answer, it’s true.

Letters, punctuation, and spaces are just about the only ASCII in that art.

“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.

So… (spoiler alert for everyone who is only up to the June 2023 episode of APH in the Vice article):

In September 2023 the $10B housing bill was passed by Labor and the Greens.
Bit of a shame Labor held back for so long on the Greens amendments, but Labor did show here they can work around the inevitable delays of robust parliamentary discourse by approving interim funding for housing in June to get things started while the details of long term funding were nutted out the crossbench.

You’re all still suckling at the opium teat of corporate media, whether via torrent or not.

The replacement battery you bought in 2017 was the last of the genuine stock for that 2012 Thinkpad model. Now it’s only poor quality aftermarket. Maybe just stick with the existing genuine battery – its 47 second runtime should be enough time for AC loss to trigger a custom script to make it hibernate.

LoL, blue shirt has no persistence. Anger and giving up gets you nowhere.

This is how you get hyperinflation.

We can only hope Charles takes the opportunity that would avail itself:

Tl;dr: TSMC

These are Australian elections – it is 100% paper ballots.

The starlink thing is just a backup link for communicating election-night preliminary count data counted by election staff at the booths. Then the ballots are transported to counting centres for the official count. Full legal results aren’t known for a couple of weeks.

Whittaker’s phrasing is ambiguous. Could be read as expressing one of a number of things:

• The paper/article is misleading and distracting from meaningful threats to privacy.
• That the original tweet is using misleading accusations to distract us from the article’s revelations of meaningful threats to privacy.
• That Appelbaum’s authorship of the research is an unwanted negative association which undermines the attention deserved by the threats documented in the paper which are misleadingly justified as necessary by eg. governments.

It’s difficult to know without a better understanding of Whittaker’s position on the various matters at hand, so I don’t know.
