This is good info. OPs article doesn’t mention this at all, and would suggest Aussie beef suppliers won’t benefit as their article suggests. With your info, I’d expect import restrictions on Aussie beef into China in the weeks ahead too.

“All of the sudden the only grain-fed beef on earth that China can buy is from Australia — so it’s not bad news [for Australia’s cattle industry],” he said.

That surprised me. There are lots of other large beef producers in the world. So I went looking. Canada got blocked in 2021 for possible BSE (mad cow) detection. And less than 2 weeks ago China suspended imports from the large beef companies in Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay and Mongolia. Now this possible ban on lots of US beef.

What is going on in China beef right now?

It’s not a Musk company. It’s owned by E-Bay.

Even that is old news. Ebay spun off paypal into a separate company in 2015.

“It was announced on September 30, 2014, that eBay would spin off PayPal into a separate publicly traded company, a move demanded in 2013 by activist hedge fund magnate Carl Icahn. The spin-off was completed on July 18, 2015.” source

Do you have other family members in your house?

Yes, and yes we have shows on services that each other don’t watch. When one of us gets to the end of the content on the streaming service we’re subscribed to, we let the other know. Many times the other person too has watched the “important” stuff and are fine with dropping it immediately. Other times, one person is still watching “important” stuff and we may sub to an additional service early, but thats pretty rare. Most of the time its "okay no problem, let me know when you’re finished with ‘important’ shows and we can drop it. We then look at the list of streaming services and decide together which one we want to sub to next. Rinse. Repeat.

Do you watch sports?

No.

Why subscribe to more than one service per month? Its not like you can watch two shows at the same moment. Even $15/month for a single ad-free service is far cheaper than the $100+/month that a cable subscription costs. Further, when you want to cancel the streaming service, its less than 10 clicks where canceling cable is more than an hour on hold fighting with the “retention” department trying to prevent you from canceling, and then having to drag cable boxes to a storefront somewhere before the bills stop.

Even with all streaming’s faults, is far FAR better than cable.

All of those still have an dd free service option.

…and cash up front before you mine.

Reading about the predicted terrible human cost of the loss of aid across the world does make me wonder if this was a possible hidden motivation for its creation.

Hanlon’s razor - “never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.”

We had a convesation about this in the Ukraine Lemmy Community. Our suggestion was to arm a drone with a carrot, and lead the donkey (carrying all the supplies) out of the orc camp after all the orcs have been liquidated. Ukraine gets supplies, Donkey gets safety, orcs are pink mist. Everyone wins! There’s zero downside.

Hmm, should I consider your post as an honest dialogue and actively continue talking to you?

Nope! That tells me everything I need to know about you. Now I get to press the “block” button and you disappear from my life forever!

No exaggeration, Russia is issuing donkeys and mules (yes actual pack animals) to soldiers for transporting supplies because vehicles are in short supply.

It seems like if Honda has any interest left in in Nissan, they’ll just buy it out of bankruptcy when that occurs. The only other chance Nissan seems to have is if there is a non-automotive company that wants to become one.

The G2 X2.

So why is a “reality check” ALWAYS felt negatively?

When someone is being told they need a “reality check” its usually in response to that person proposing some overly ambitious or aspirational idea as being practical. So the “reality check” means that expectations need to be lowered to match reality.

I’d say we should have no opinion on it at all. It is for the people of Namibia to decide how they want to use or not their land. Our only role is to respect the decision they come to.

What I hate is that way that people see videogames, like, if you play something old you are stuck in the past

I must not operate in those circles. I’ve never heard that before, but I’m also old and playing old games and fewer newer ones.

Her efforts may not be to actually affect change, but to force Google to choose sides, and then extract concessions from them for doing so.

4 rubber buttons.

The coating of those buttons that contact the PCB isn’t really rubber.

I’ve cleaned it well in the hopes that sticky plastic was the cause, but it wasn’t.

Between cleaning and years of wear, the conductive coating is likely gone. To replace that conductive coating you might have success with at Electric Paint Pen. Probably carbon based for those pads. Something like this.

Not a word about how much energy went into the process and how much was harvested…

A 17 minute runtime in a Tokamak an incremental step on the path to success. You’re in the kitchen looking over the shoulder of the chef saying the steak he’s just put in the pan isn’t cooked enough yet. He knows, but you can’t have the steak on your plate cooked to perfection until he does this current step he’s on.

I can create plasma using a candle and a microwave.

In 1964 you could build an honest to goodness fusion reactor copying the Farnsworth Fusor, yet that would never be on a path to a sustained fusion reaction with a net energy gain. The work in the article is.

trump doesn’t understand this. The USA gets away with a lot of shit because it does a lot of other good. If we remove the good, we lose the tolerance for our shit.
