The fact that there is a market for NZ$1750 gumboots tells me that the rich aren't being taxed enough. #uspol #nzpol #auspol #ukpol

Seawater, a perfect energy source?

‘’We have split natural seawater into oxygen and hydrogen with nearly 100 per cent efficiency, to produce green hydrogen by electrolysis, using a non-precious and cheap catalyst in a commercial electrolyser… Seawater typically needs to be purified before electrolysis splits it into hydrogen and oxygen…cobalt oxide with chromium oxide catalyst, had similar performance to applying platinum and iridium“

I don’t know if “climate activist” is really the right way to put it. Like, if I’m drowning and trying to come up for air, I’m not suddenly an “oxygen activist”—I’m literally just trying to stay alive. Maybe addressing climate change shouldn’t be viewed as an “activist” position.

On Monday New Zealand will be celebrating its National Day - #WaitangiDay. The day is not without controversy, but the debate is not bitterly divisive the way the Australian equivalent is.

Australia needs a new National Day.

A friend sent this:
“Our six-year-old handed us a note. His teacher had called my wife and I in for an emergency meeting. We asked our son if he had any idea why
and he said, "She didn't like a drawing I did."
We went in the next day.
His teacher pulled the drawing below out and said, "I asked him to draw his familv and he drew this. Would vou mind explaining?"
"Not at all." my wife said. "Family vacation. Snorkeling off the Bahamas.”

Great news!
Opal Australian Paper has been logging Ancient native forests to turn them into Paper and now it has to stop.
It's an absolute farce in 2023 to be doing this.

Mastodon isnt just a life-raft, mastodon is how we win.

The next big thing is not corporate apps. Not corporate anything.

We arent running away from elon, we're replacing him.

I'm older so I remember things. Everything you see happening today should be understood this way:

The top tax rate used to be 90% in order to prevent the really rich from destroying democracy.

The corporate tax rate was 50% because corporations exist to serve society.

AND the inheritance tax was really high to keep family dynasties from gaining power over us.

It was always a dumb idea to have multiple competing telecommunications networks.
As with just about everything, I've been moaning about this for decades

OK for mobiles in urban areas, where there is enough demand to support multiple networks, but not in rural Australia

Time for mandatory roaming.

I honestly did NAZI this coming. I grew up in Iowa and used to proud of that fact. Today's GOP and today's America.
