Dualit classic toaster. Was replacing Breville and other brand toasters every 18 months or so.
Dualit cost more than twice my previous fancy units. So far, it has lasted 5 years, of nearly twice daily use. All parts repairable or replaceable, but haven't needed to yet.
If we implement an effective mitigation measure for global warming, why would those who profit from emitting CO2 feel any urgency to stop?
Despite the potential usefulness, i suspect it would find justification to allow continuation of fossil fuel consumption.
Not a great looking coincidence. It's difficult not to speculate and assign guilt, the more stories come out.
Australia has so called "clean skin" wines. Plain bottles with only the region and grape type.
Large volumes of surplus wine gets sold like this so the big brands can manage their brand value.
It's pot luck what you get, but sometimes it's gold and it's nearly always half decent.
The Laundry Files by Charles Stross, might satisfy.
I've never come across another writer that fills The Culture hole.
We should hold our politicians to a higher standard because of their responsibility in managing affairs that impact major population groups. The whole cross party political spectrum should be condemning her loudly and publicly.
In no way should she hold any future government or bureaucratic position.

Dutton realising his voter base will shrink without affordable housing
The opposition leader has promised the Liberals will ‘come back again’ at a gathering of party faithful
"Liberals from across the country gathered in Canberra for the annual federal council meeting on Saturday, the first since the fall of the Coalition government at the 2022 federal election."
"Dutton told the council the Liberal party was doing the leg work to offer Australians a clear choice at the next election. He said a threat to liberalism in Australia was the lack of housing affordability. “If young people can’t accumulate capital, they’re unlikely to have much fondness for capitalism,” he said." “By extension, if people can’t realise their aspiration to buy and own their own home, they’re unlikely to have much faith in liberalism and so they look elsewhere.”

Looks like they are starting to understand that not providing the younger generations, with equivalent opportunities of the older generations, is going to provoke resentment. Making it easier for the younger demographic to take massive loans isn't really going to fix the problem though. Affordable means either making housing less expensive and therefore less valuable, or increasing wages. Neither major party wants to pursue a path of lowering housing value due to the fraction of their voter base that has a vested interest in keeping value high.
Both are again committed to the line the high wage increase cause inflation.
Isn't going to be easily resolved.
Keeping their options open for an exit strategy. Must be for their domestic consumption
