Kinda weird that Victoria has exactly the same unhinged pro-Lib media but Andrews still managed to not only win, but win in a landslide. What was the deal with that? I was living overseas at the time.

The deal is that NSW is bad.

Who isn't taking it seriously? The people working essential jobs locked into their LGA's or the government that locked them in there and implemented a 10km limit for everyone else? Everything non-essential is closed, outdoor masks are pointless because there are no cases of outdoor transmission, a curfew doesn't stop essential workers going to work and that and households is where the transmission is happening based off of every single statement and piece of data released.

It's all about giving people better financial support, better communications and doing whatever they can to reduce risk in essential workplaces at this point.

You'll find that people are not complying with the rules and taking risks. Anecdotally: Not shopping alone, not social distancing in parks, visiting peoples homes.

The first one isn't really an issue - as any family member is going to get it from the lone shopper that gets unlucky.
The second is an issue when you have people from different households in close contact - such as kids on play equipment.
But that's just some examples - the main point is that some people aren't taking it seriously enough to follow the rules. It's to different degrees. You have the range from, kids playing all the way up to holding protests, secret parties, fleeing Sydney and illegally crossing into queensland. Some people aren't taking the attitude of "this is serious and i should minimise what i do", they are taking the attitude of "I'll do whatever I think I can get away with". Proportion wise it's hard to tell, but I don't have much faith in Sydneysiders on the whole.

Yeah, that's what irked me about getting AZ. It was taking on a (minuscule) risk to cover for the constant failures of the governments. But in the end, with the outbreak only going to get worse, it's better to to got a shot than to not.

Amoeba102
Jan 22, 2010

Yeah, if there was a news story about every AZ jab that didn't have complications you'd be loving swamped with it. It's selection bias.

Regardless, it was better to wait for pfizer when the AZ risk was non-zero but minimal and the covid risk was zero. The government has hosed up and now it's better to get AZ.

What is also hosed up is the framing that it's unvaccinated young people catching, spreading and dying to the delta outbreak, when there was absolutely no way they could be fully vaccinated regardless of personal choice or actions. Even getting your first dose was impossible until poo poo really hit the fan (you couldn't get a booking anywhere or a GP to recommend it when the government first tried to let people under 40 opt for AZ). It shifts the blame to these people, because now you can get your first jab, and these people are unvaccinated so it must be their choice.

AZ hesitancy isn't helped when the fuckwit PM also responds to a TTS death with "everyone makes their own health choices".

Went to Mosman today to take my partner to the optometrist (I stayed in the car). "What lockdown?" is the general feeling we had.
Yeah, people aren't taking it seriously, but why would they when the government hasn't really done well to instill the right mentality or the go far enough early enough with rules.

Sydney lockdown rules are not conveyed the best, so I just found out about recreation being a valid reason to be out and about. Which basically allows you to do anything so long as you're distant from people.

Carbon capture and storage is bullshit and no attempt in the world had shown good results.

Blue hydrogen is bullshit and is just a way for coal mines keep digging poo poo up

The biggest direct carbon capture plant in the world opened in Iceland and it only captures the equivalent of the output of about 900 cars a year.

The Glasgow meeting is going to be a whole bunch of countries arguing about how their bullshit is so much better than everyone else's.

NET zero is just a weasel term to justify continuing to output huge amounts of carbon into the atmosphere but saying you'll make up for it in some magical technological way.

Wilson was on the project saying something about a carbon capture project turning out bricks. I thought "atmospheric carbon to building material? Sounds like trees".

Of course, it's trees with more steps and less efficiency.

Why do we want to turn methane into nanotubes, when it's carbon dioxide already in the atmosphere, or going to be released, we have a problem with? You can make hydrogen by passing a current through water using an electrolyser.
You can make carbon nanotubes already, and the process by nature, keeps the carbon sequestered.
It's not solving any problems.
