Yeaaaah come on, gently caress the super yachts. Also how many time does it need to be said Prospect Res is part of Sydney's water supply and you can NOT do what you want there. Not like there is a water park just across the road too......

Bucky Fullminster posted:Do I really need to explain the logic behind giving billionaires a place to open their wallets Do I need to explain the logic of "Billionaires are the main cause of how hosed things are and can gently caress the hell off"? It does not matter where you put the pool, it is still restricted area due to catchment for the dam. Full stop. And uhhh.... since when is a public pool NOT noisy? Season pass for Raging Rapids is hundred buck for the season, that's not exactly bad value. The main issue is there's effectively no public transport even if a suitable bike path - actually quite a good one that's getting close to completion - exists from Blacktown. If you still are keen for a public pool in the area, Blacktown Drive-In has land around it suitable altho Blacktown itself has a public pool already

Then their home loving country can tax the everliving poo poo out of them so they cant buy their 5th yacht. They are the only boat people I dont want to ever see here.

Bucky Fullminster posted:We'd still need to get them here though. I’m told Sydney Airport is at capacity, and lol if you think they’re going to get the metro from Badgerys Creek. There is in fact capacity at Kingsford Smith. Nancy Bird is more likely to get freight otherwise esp given 24/7 operations quote:Ok so you guys don't want hundreds of millions of virtually free extra dollars per year by just letting boats tie up here. We'll just keep using it to store massive and almost entirely pointless navy boats. Even the 5 storey carpark there underneath Embarkation Park alone would be worth billions. Absolutly correct we dont want it. Billionaire pollution can just gently caress the hell off.

Strawmanning means you dont have any decent reply and basically my answer to a strawman is "gently caress off, it's a stupid way to debate" There is more than enough money for womens shelters from raising Gina Rinehart's taxes of you want to play it like that plus Garden Island if the navy vacated how many billions would that cost and also how about the regular visits foreign warships contribute to the economy to continue to play this game do you forgo? It's a badly thought out idea esp trying to cater to a tiny mega wealthy minority. The fact anyone seriously suggests an idea to cater for billionaires on SA is just..... does my goddamn head in.

And who is going to sail their super yacht from Morocco / California to the arse end of the world anyway? Private jet all the way!

EoinCannon posted:Cocaine isn't prohibited by WADA who test players on game day. AFL does the illicit drug testing, player's union shouldn't put up with it Cocaine is very much a prohibited PED as per already quoted that has lead to deaths when used as a PED (Off the top of my head it was used as a stimulant and increases the effect of other PEDs, side effects may include heart attack) What players do in their own off competition time is who the gently caress cares, In competition, it's banned for pretty sound reasons.

Trying to insist Newington - which is an environmentally sensitive area and a wharf that at low tides can't be used built on a historic site with preserivie order over it and with no existing PT other than an asspull idea of ferries that above reasons won't happen - when Penrith Lakes exist and has been used for festivals - is stupid. Not that Penrith Lakes is great for purpose but it's better than an area that also has residents close enough that may well get real annoyed by the noise I'm not sure trying to handwave someone who sounds like they stiffed people for a lot of money is a good look either CAT INTERCEPTOR fucked around with this message at 04:12 on Apr 1, 2024 |

This is called "appeal to authority" via "I ride bike!" and it doesnt work when you are trying to do that by vs someone with 120,000kms in Sydney alone over the last 11 years.

ssmagus posted:Once again, Cat interceptor's Fit Cyclist vs Buckys Casual bike rider augments. Seriously, you both have different things you want from cycling infrastructure and something for people who solo ride with speed is not for people who ride with others to get places. is that so hard for both of you to understand? Seriouspost for a moment here, the actual thing I want is actually exactly what you want. Sydney does have some good cycling areas but there is some truly ridiculous crap that absolutly will stop casuals that does need to be addressed and be done twenty years ago. It can be done and some councils are actually trying to do it - sometimes pretty badly too unfortuantly and thats something that needs to be avoided. What I've liked to do and invite People Who Matter to ride and experience the good and the bad and that's helped a bit but in the end what I really want is to get people out of cars and onto PT or self-powered transport and that's the way this city should be going. Cars loving SUCK for commuting. Ride or walk to a Metro/heavy / light rail or bus, go close to your destination, ride or walk the rest of the way. Like City of Victoria B.C., they dont have trains but they got an impressive bike network and buses everywhere that you can put your bike on. I'm more onboard with Building Beautifully's idea of "Build Metro EVERYWHERE" than anything else honestly. Metros are awesome. quote:while he's basically saying "FYGM" Mate, no. Just....... No. Just because I think your plan is not good doesnt mean that at all. CAT INTERCEPTOR fucked around with this message at 02:58 on Apr 2, 2024 |

When the host interviewed the sole actual expert on the the topic he opened with calling him an ivory tower elite. The show is loving evil and the people involved are evil.

Electric Wrigglies posted:I would be super chuffed if you can provide sources that support diamond, gold and precious stone mining around the world causing less damage and issues than *checks notes* generating the power of a good-sized European country. Crypto single handed reversed a whole bunch of emissions reductions and is responsible for actual full percentages of carbon emissions as well as requiring a bunch of precious resources to build ASICs like.... gold to do exactly jack loving poo poo worthwhile. Crypto does not solve any problem at all and is significantly worse that what exists now. hooman posted:They aren't traded as securities, nobody is in the short term market for diamonds or gold. Not true. Short term contracts / markets do exist for them Jezza of OZPOS posted:This is pretty dumb because the vast majority of those things being mined is not used for practical purposes it's enabling security trading and making trinkets. Gold is about 78% for shiny things true, diamond however is approx 70-80% industrial because it's real drat useful for cutting, drilling, polishing and grinding.

NPR Journalizard posted:You can use lab grown diamonds for jewellery though, except for the fact that people seem to really like having child slave labour involved in making their shiny rocks. Lab grown diamonds are so good DeBeers changed their campaign saying the "true value of a gem diamond is it's flaws" gay picnic defence posted:The value of diamonds isn't really tied to the fact they have an actual use besides being a store of wealth, you can't use industrial grade diamonds for jewellery and as much as you could theoretically smash up gem quality diamonds to make abrasives you probably don't want to. That wasnt the point I was trying to go against - what I was debunking is the idea diamonds are primarily used for wealth store when they arent. There's also on that tho the point that trying to sell "gem" diamonds usually doesnt financially go too well so thy arent that great as a value store unless you get a diamond of note

Megabound posted:AI is going to be so much worse than crypto in terms of value generated to emissions belched out into the world. Paracausal posted:Yep, all the big tech companies have already started chewing up all the available enterprise computing space to sink into this bullshit and it's only going to get worse in the short term. The bubble needs to burst asap (and people need to keep feeding junk into them to make it more and more useless) While I completely agree LLM's / Generative Computation is a bubble that badly needs to burst and gently caress off, unlike Crypto it does has some use, so the tech companies like Microsoft - ESP Microsoft - are going to leverage the small amount of use cases to keep forcing it everywhere and it's going to stay like a smelly poo poo dumped in the middle of the room no one wants to clean up. Crypto can gently caress off tomorrow and no one but the bag holders will notice or care, cant say the same for LLM's or Generative Computing now. Microsoft is profiting heavily from it all because Azure is the backbone of so loving much of it, a lot more than I think most even in tech realise. quote:Crypto is estimated to use about half to three quarters of a percent of global energy generation, mostly from renewables (because they routinely build where cheap and often wasted (hydro)electricity is available) so no, crypto is nothing remotely close to a full percentage points of carbon emissions. In fact, if it helps monetize otherwise curtailed renewable generation (and it reduces/scales back consumption at other times), it is contributing to the transition to renewables by decreasing the importance of dispatchable generation while improving the economics of otherwise marginal wind and solar. This is wrong and fortunalty I dont need to point out that it's dribble from the Crypto bros, thanks to those who already debunked. Plus lets say it's .5%. 0.5% of thw ALL the worlds energy going towards doing exactly nothing of worth when all that power could be used to do real poo poo that can reduce carbon. ANY power used by crypto poo poo is wasted. The big problem now tho is as crypto goes out the window, LLM's are taking the power instead, we are just so loving dumb as a species.
