Yes, but regulating pollutors requires a populace that won't accept anything less. Instead people are placated by paper straws.

Oh little Askew, I think you're fucking amazing and it's my genuine honor to watch you conquer new things at activity club.
My experience was the same as everyone else's here: strict christian upbringing, not talking about things because they're "bad", and making up answers to things mum and dad don't know.
I'm trying to figure out parenting now. My plan, and I'm sure it won't survive contact with the enemy, is to be as open, thorough, and honest as I can be about sex and drugs.
While it is scary for me, I do want my kids to experiment with these things, but I want them to do it with as much contextual information as I can provide.
"The talk" which I plan to give often, as commonly talked about house rules, is that there's two ways adolescents can inadvertently change the course of their lives: car accidents, and getting pregnant.
It's indicative of the lack of benefit that LLMs are providing. If gen AI was providing tangible benefits to anyone, people would identify a need for data centres.
This is just another American shitshow. It's so obvious that what's happening is not transparent, and not in the best interests of the public, yet no one seems able to address it because the people who can are sycophants.
Anyone know what's up with this?
Bot spamming every thread with dumb Australia facts.
Im not even subscribed to 196.
Transparency is always good, but sometimes less is more.
"Given some ideological concerns, kittens has decided to step back from moderating this community to pursue other opportunities."
Really? Actually I thought it was caused by retailers taking the opportunity to increase prices when everyone thought prices would increase due to covid.
In Australia we have "the outback", which isn't really "the middle of nowhere" but, it's also nowhere in particular.
I don't really know but I suspect it arose in the colonial era, when settlements were on the coast, and the hinterland was settled agricultural properties, but "out the back" away from the coast its dry, arid, and not much to see.
"The Australian Outback" refers to a class of landscape, rather than a place, but if you're in the outside back you're in the middle of nowhere.
Thats not really the right lesson to learn here.
Just have real, non-combative conversations with your colleagues and supervisors. Don't communicate with stupid games and manipulation.
IDK how you ended up feeling so trapped, but honestly most people believe that their job contributes something positive to the world.
All I can do is encourage you to re-evaluate your assumptions and find a way out.
I can replace this rusted post but before I do I have questions!
This is the context:
This construction is about 30 years old. I live in a coastal city so there's plenty of salt in the rain. The ground level was level with the place it's rusted through completely. However, it was probably painted down to that level and no further. My assumption is that it's galvanised steel, but only because that's what's commonly used for this type of construction.
Firstly I just want to confirm that this is likely to be caused simply by being in the ground for 30 years. It's possible that in the past there was water ingress through the screw holes in the roof panels. I had someone replace those fixtures 4 years ago, so those seals are new.
My second question is, am I supposed to use some sort of footing to avoid the same thing happening again in another 20 years ? Should it be in some kind of stirrup like this or are these only for timber:
My third question is, the current top plate / bracket is custom made with welded parts. I don't have a welder nor any experience with that. Should I expect to find a purpose built standard top plate from wherever I buy the post? I could use 3x right angle brackets but that just doesn't feel like the right approach. Presently it looks like this:
Thanks!

I don't really know anything about privacy and security in this context, but I remember playing around with encrypted disks and reading that encryption isn't really useful if your adversary knows that something exists albeit encrypted.
I think this is similar: having a freshly wiped phone is going to attract attention. I'm not saying it's the wrong move in all cases, but it's probably the wrong move in the kinds of situations most people are going to encounter.
I think the latest advice for attending protests and similar is to take a cheap burner.
