During a campaign isn't really the right time to criticise your only opportunity to avoid what we have now.

I'ts possible to acknowledge that Democrats Suck while simultaneously acknowledging that electing one was the only chance to avoid a Trump presidency.

Nuclear was always going to be a gambit.

They would've been better off just being laggards. "Clean" coal et cetera.

It's not that dirty, just how campaigns are run now.

This is pretty radical economic policy.

Is there any research supporting all of this or just the vibe?

Labor ran on negative gearing reform and we got morisson.

Interesting move to ban them every second day.

Yeah because Zelenskyy has been a true leader and stuck by his people in their darkest hour(s).

What would Trump have done as the president of Ukraine on the night of 24 February 2022? He would've long since sold out to old mate Putin and sure as shit wouldn't have been visiting troop deployments on the front lines.

He has well earned the adoration of his people and of course any attempts to undermine his integrity will not be well received.

Yeah this really sucks.

Especially the proliferation of American style ute's in recent years, like we're the only two places in the world that will tolerate the emissions.

I'm also surprised about China, not for any other reason than their track record on pollution hasn't been great.

Yeah my city is the same.

They do have a comprehensive website but it's extraordinarily difficult to navigate. So bad in fact that they created another website like instead of mycity.com you have to go to mycityevents.com. It's still terrible in that the information thereon is very vague and always text based. No maps or really useful information.

It seems that the best source of information for events is indeed to follow them on facebook and scrutinise whatever they post in the lead up to community events, and the useful information about parking et cetera is often in the comments. Obviously I'm not going to engage with that.

I'm not adverse to them using social in some way but you should not be required to use social in order to find information.

Fair enough.

The only reason things burn up when they enter the atmosphere is because they're moving so fast that the friction from the air generates too much heat.

So yes, if you slow yourself down enough then you could just float down like a feather in the wind.

I have no idea how fast is too fast.

The answer to this depends on how much the magic device with the oxygen weighs.

Also just going to set aside anything to do with sky diving and space suits and having friends and everything else that I don't know anything about.

I only know this from playing Simple Rockets on android but basically you direct your thrust in the direction you're moving in order to reduce your velocity, and you'll fall down to earth.

Think of an orbit as the balance between falling towards earth and zipping past earth. If you fly past too fast then you just fly past and maybe the gravity pulls you a bit but not much. If you fly past too slow the gravity pulls you down to earth and you crash. If you fly past at the same speed you fall towards earth the two directions balance out and you end up just spinning around earth.

Therefore, If you're in a stable orbit on the space station, and then you slow down, you'll start to fall down towards it instead of "falling" around it in an orbit.

If you only slow down a little bit you'll start moving towards Earth but you'll be moving way too fast for an unshielded human to enter the atmosphere without burning up.

You'd have to slow yourself down, by directing thrust towards the horizon you're headed towards, enough so that you're not going fast enough to burn up.

Whether or not you can slow down enough, quickly enough, depends on how much thrust your magic device can provide and how much that device makes you weigh.
