Hobart, Darwin and Canberra topped the list, while Sydney, one of Australia’s most populous cities, has come in the 150th spot, posing questions about the impacts of air pollution.

But experts have cautioned against taking the data at face value, saying the logic is “fundamentally flawed”.

However, Professor Gavin Pereira, an environmental epidemiologist at Curtin University in Perth, said the ranking of cities was “fundamentally flawed, even if the calculations are correct”.

“Firstly, air pollution events like bushfires and dust storms are common in Australia even if the air quality appears okay at other times,” he said.

“Secondly, it ignores everyone living outside the selected cities, including those in regional rural and remote areas most prone to bushfire smoke.”

Defs gonna get mine the moment I can. Mounting evidence of brain and heart damage with infections. Fuck that to hell, I want them in good health so I can use their threshold for damage on things that are fun.

I haven’t been able to talk my mum into getting any of her boosters, she’s also the one that infected us all by lying :(. Logging onto Facebook to play words with friends is damaging, also I think a somewhat traumatic memory of smallpox vaccine or something.

Highly recommend people take precautions, life is fragile.

My apologies I lied to you.

That information is wrong, coal is still being formed today. Although mostly in bogs, which provide an environment where decay doesn’t happen.

About a million to 10 million times slower than we are using it though, and the rate is declining relatively as bogs are cleared or mined for peat/moss and our coal use increases year on year.

omfg they charged him and refused bail.

edit: also yep, he’s brown. Figures.

It’s soooo good. Incredibly moody, strange, easy to play while also being a vaguely alienating experience that contributes to the otherworldly vibe.

I loved it so much, some genuinely troubling dilemmas at times if you get into it. I do recommend trying to get the airship first and then side no actually, do whatever it’s short and sweet and full of yearning.

How many actually will vs how many innocents you just abandon. Like how many people actually presented to doctors or hospital after getting vaxxed, missed work etc.

I think this fear of other human beings behaving in ways you probably would never dream of, nor would you expect of almost everyone you know, is misguided.

Society can afford a few mooches if it’s the price of helping the needy. We support an entire class of mooches with stuff like CGT discounting and that doesn’t help anyone.

I agree, part of keeping trust in collective health measures is trusting people when they say they are hurt by them and trying to help.

These people did a prosocial and sensible thing, they got hurt in freak accidents, they deserve respect and compassion.

CSIRO hastening the trend in culture by explicitly making us a nation of fart huffers.

she’s living up to the paramedic tradition of being completely awesome and down to earth.

I’ve not made the time to get all up in my fungals, but i know a lot more understanding is coming out. Whats the deal?

So I might be wrong here, I have no formal training in the carbon cycle and am not nor have ever been a biologist but I was under the impression that coal basically no longer can be made as it comes from a time before lignin (the stuff what makes plants woody) could be broken down by organisms. Now, barring unusual geological events, plants die and fall into the soil where the vast majority of their substance is metabolised by fungi which use it for energy emitting co2 in the process.

So if you take some area and forest it, there is now a mass of carbon bound into plant stuff, but since it reaches a steady state quickly it isn’t really sequestering any after that. This is why carbon capture is sort of a farce, as captured carbon in its ideal form is coal.

I’m actually curious, given that forests don’t actually fix carbon anymore (yay fungi) is there any amortised effect on co2 levels? or just a peak then increased uptake during regrowth.

Of course, smoke is bad

The sluiced fragments (some of) hairtie for scale.

Not practical, but I want a tiny 3d printed chest of gem rough so for now I’m collecting it all.

Uh tiny fragments of zircon and saph I haven’t sorted yet. A single flec of gold and a metric tonne of magnetite.

Gonna dry the cons and strip out the magnetite and look for more gold, it’s not an area where you expect it though. This was the sand from classifying a few buckets for sapphire. Photo of sieve finds attached, the sluice found similar stuff but smaller.

Labor is certainly trying to stop the rise of the greens.

A) you don’t know it was sold with one B) Being arrested is a massive escalation that is humiliating and dangerous C) absolutely nobody was hurt or threatened

Yeah I assume some wowser panicked and called the cops on the scary brown man with a gun. I shoot 22s, am not exactly a gun nut but am also astounded at general fear and ignorance of firearms in city dwellers despite their actual massive presence there.

Like fair cop OK, he’s an idiot for bringing it out in public but nothing indicates he was trying to scare people or do anything nefarious. Hang me for this if you like but I reckon we should be a bit forgiving of people doing silly things if alls well and they understand that the forgiveness is conditional on doing better going forwards.

Kinda neat, a bit weasely in a few places. Our Lords and Masters stance has always been Palestinian sovereignty under a two state, but usually they vote against or abstain from any UN resolution iirc.

Sign that the anglosphere is turning against the USA on this issue?

The cops necessarily lean fash mate. Yeah not all, but they’re statistically a hell of a lot more sympathetic to nazis than like unions or students.

What they’re very good at is not being punished by the law or the cops. Sewer doesn’t deserve credit for that.

You’re right, in that it’s the complicity of the cops and judiciary in allowing these sort of things to happen. However I do think Nazi ringleaders in general have a good understanding of both that the law is this way and how to manipulate the legal system.

Like they dress in suits with a clean haircut and stuff when appearing in court and plead good character, they front the media well etc.

None of this would work if anyone did due diligence but they intuitively know they wont.

Having odious politics and being a slimey coward doesn’t mean he’s stupid.

This guy is like the Nazi ringleader in aus. He is a cunning little thing, very good at walking the line without ever crossing it.

For example, when he recently led a gang in attacking some people filming a group of the shits hiking he himself was careful not to actually get hugely involved in taking their car keys and attacking them. Only getting 7 days in gaol.

Sewell was in contact with the Christchurch mosque shooter too.

If there was any justice in the world he’d be cut off from using the internet or running social groups, but those are penalties we only levy against people holding climate rallys or sharing films.
