In the US news this morning, one of the January 6th "tourist" visitors to the US Capitol has sought political asylum in Belarus. Wow! Is he ever going to be on a steep learning curve.

It was never going to end well, making private businesses have to act as police but without power...
But really I think this is mostly the anti smacking generation coming home to roost.

This will prob kill retail faster than online shopping. I doubt the police unit will make much difference except agitate the marginalised feral element to a higher level. Seems some store owners aren’t affected so maybe it’s all in the delivery.
Yesterday I was at a major store, I scanned the label at door which took a few go’s glass and all only to have a very rude store lady barking at me from behind “ have you scanned in” repeatedly. I don’t answer people who can’t afford basic manners. Funny thing though they saw me putting my phone away... “ oh he must have scanned he’s putting his phone away” like as if I was some cowboy holstering a pistol at the saloon... she all went back to normal.
As a side note I have family living near a busy t junction that’s always been an effort to get safe gap in traffic. About once every three months used to be a nutter tooting or shouting because they thought car in front could have gone. Apparently now it’s several times a day, a certain element of society thinks the normal rules and respect don’t apply to them... perhaps the new police unit could sit there and get them before they get to a retail store....

Oil giant Shell says it needs oil to pay for green shift ... stupid is as stupid needs to do to try not to be so stupid despite the evidence showing that you can't afford to be sensible by doing what needs to be done. Heh, but shhhh, no one really grasps the stupidity of that sort of shit... nor can they afford to grasp it.
I didn't think!!! I experimented!!!

Well none of current green enerygy projects are economically viable without govt subsidies so their decision is quite smart.
Oil is still going to be needed.
Power density of lead acid batteries was 25Wh/kg in 1900, today’s best lithium batteries are 300Wh/kg. Even a generous logistic curve of assumption in technology improvements only takes that to 500Wh/kg by 2050.
Diesel fuel kicks the angry pixies out of the park with a whopping 13,750 Wh/kg, orders of magnitude better.
Take for example a 5 ton farm tractor that carries 40 gallons diesel providing 2,186,250 Wh of energy for the day’s work. The same weight battery would only provide 47,700Wh. You can’t be stopping every five mins to change batteries in middle of farm. To compete with diesel onnsame tractor it would need about a five ton battery which would be impractical

"economically viable without govt subsidies". That's FINANCIAL viability, not ECONOMIC viability. You might wanna look into the distinction between the two coz it's important... unless you're ok with destroying the planet so long as we can financially afford it, coz it ain't an economic approach. Closer to a stupid approach by pretty any measure that exists mind, but hey, one would have to understand the distinction before stupidity comes into place
Yes, oil will still be required, so will trees n gas n animals n all sorts of other shit that we say we shouldn't be using. Horses for courses should be the mantra, not, "how much does it cost?"... almost as if the purpose of doing the thing is financial and not economic............. "almost as if", pfffffft I gave a little chortle typing that.

Everyone knows they have direct access now to all your devices via manufacturer built in back doors but in the article they try to maintain some mystic of intel collected via other means.
That high speed fibre internet wasn’t just so you could watch Netflix or work front home in The upcoming pandemic....
It’s a wonder Jacinda isn’t spinning it as a sign of peace in our world.
Maybe we got our access cut over the Aussie submarine deal?????

Odd the person i knew that worked there thought it was real, its odd you know more about it then they did......
Tell me how you are so clued up on the system you never worked at and more than likely never knew anyone that actually did.
Do you get the voices directly in your head.?
