I was actually really interested for a second, hence the click to the article. If there were 5.56mm bullets that were biodegradable and still had the same firing characteristics it would have been awesome.
But alas it is for the larger calibre stuff which given they are predominately chalk anyway seems like a massive waste of time and effort.
Not to mention this article isn't actually about bullets but larger ordinances, the smallest of which is a 40mm grenade. The current training version of which is plastic wrapped around chalk.
I thought that by definition the bullet was the metal part at the end of the casing. They are talking about 40mm+ ordinance. The 40mm m781 practice grenade is a plastic casing around a chalk core. I would have thought biodegradable plastic would have been relatively simple, and chalk isn't exactly what I think of as a pollutant.
Not in the US so I haven't seen your contracts. But my Telstra contracts all have an end date written in them. They are all 2 years from the date of the contract which then goes to month by month terminatable by either party on 1 months notice. So it does keep rolling for ever, but the locked down period is 2 years.
I agree that a company should have to abide by the terms of their contract. But as I said I would be amazed if they haven't reserved the right to vary the contract. Every contract I have has that escape clause.
At 900,000 miles you probably have had to replace the fuel tank on your ICE as the mounting brackets have failed. Go knows the fuel filter, fuel pump, injection system, spark plugs, fuel line and every other part had had to be replaced.
At 900,000 miles I suspect that the state of the battery pack is the least of your worries..... On any normal car the entire running system has either been replaced or so heavily maintained that it may as well have been replaced.
If that is the case then fair enough. I'm not in the US and all my local libraries are sprawling affairs with what feels like loads of empty space on the shelves. The main one near me doesn't even have bookshelves over 4ft high so you can see the whole place.
What is the limit of books that the library is able to carry and are they at / close to that limit? Your whole argument is based on the premise that the library is full and that stopping these books being removed blocked others.
If the library's total lend rate has dropped dramatically you may be in the situation where there are not enough borrowers to turn over the full catalogue in any reasonable time period. From the TFA they are only lending something in the vicinity of 65000 times a year. Where I live you can take 20 books at a time per person so they are only looking at something like 8-10 people per day.
According to their online catalogue search they have ~23,000 books. It would be normal to expect the best known blockbusters to be borrowed multiple times in any period so with just a 3 times multiplier on their collection it is very likely that actually quite historically popular books will sit on a shelf for 2 years.
Yeah that heating thing is weird. I was there in easter and it was hot but all the hotels were being heated. It was down right unpleasant.
I think coal probably produces the most raw polution, but I would be surprised if it wasn't their cars that cause the most in-city smog. When you have that many cars and trucks moving slowly through your cities it would have to have an effect.
When I was there I had a day that was smog so bad your visibility was down to 200m and then the next day clear skies to the horizon then back again. So I think the smog has a lot to do with local weather / wind on any given day.
It's not just their manufacturing. Their transport contributes massively as well.
That said, have you been there?
A billion people are moving from essentially subsistence living to a modern urban lifestyle in the course of 30 years. To achieve this there is mass construction going on everywhere. Construction of everything from roads to power stations to factories. But you are talking a society where lots and lots and lots of people have basically no disposable income, which means the cheapest possible vehicles are the only option. When you go to the absolute bottom of the transport section your efficiency is poor and your pollution is high.
The west already went through this. However they went through this when their population was a fraction of todays levels. It meant that the gross amount of pollution emitted was lower but the per capita level was much higher.
China is trying to control their pollution output, and one of the good things is that technology exists today to reduce it. However we aren't going to see a drop soon unfortunately.
Methodology is being left to the ISPs. Which means it will most likely be a DNS block. People just need to point their routers at the google DNS and it is circumvented.
As for the foxtel muppet he's claiming aussies don't use VPNs. Uh huh, right. That's why we have had legislation put through explicitly saying defeating geoblocking with VPNs is ok. Cause no one in Australia uses a vpn... Nope no one.
Yes in the end they would be able to track it back to the card that charged it. But it would be possible to use them as a cash analogue. ie. Here are 4 x $50 pasmos.
Japanese Pasmo type cards have no audit trail. You can charge them with credit anywhere and they are like a tap and go system but the cards are unregistered to you.

But he is talking 900,000 miles. Not 90,000 miles. You have said you doubt you will get to 300,000 miles. He wants 3 times that figure.....
Only question I would have is how long can you store them for before they begin to degrade.
Lol Sorry......

So no woodland training then? Or swamp? Or urban?

Why do you post a variation of this on every story?

I would assume that the contracts are for a specific duration. I would also assume that the right to vary the contract is written into the contract.

This is what my local library looks like inside - https://www.raeco.com.au/blogs...
According to its online catalogue its list 65,000 items.
Are the library shelves at capacity?

Watched the video and it's pretty blatant. But do we know if it was in self drive mode? Anything anywhere else on this?

Yeah uh-huh. And how exactly will that work when it is completely possible to spin up a hosted vm all set to go as your vpn end point?
They start blanket blocking ports and scripts that do everything for you automatically will appear everywhere.
Hmmm other articles I had read had the methodology left to the ISPs with 14 days to comply.
Internode, iinet, tpg, telstra, optus. ie most of the market all have quota free content.....
VPNs are an overkill against a dns block. But for accessing a huge amount of geoblocked content lots of Australians already have them.

I assume he was referring to a post cash economy so even charging them with cash was impossible.
