my make and model is not listed (Mitsubishi Minicab-MiEV). Just FYI, these are reasonably popular in several markets globally even though they are a JDM.

On track for Handmaids Tale. I really hope this life destroying stays in the US only and doesn't get approved elsewhere....

Ugh crap, it was approved in Australia by the TGA last year. Yaaaaay.

Is she dressed as a cow?

This is the first time on Not The Onion I've genuinely been flabbergasted that it really wasn't from The Onion.

I guess they've calculated that people will react with similar incredulity and thus brands awareness, but still, wtf.

Very rarely. I have an older ChaDeMo vehicle (Mitsubishi Minicab-MiEV) so don't have as much competition as the CCS chargers, though there are fewer of them I do a lot of highway driving and the waits are usually at the busiest highway chargers, especially if any ultra fast chargers are down.

PlugShare is global, we use it in Australia 😊

laughs in 20kw ChaDeMo relatively short range battery compared to modern EVs

This doesn't sound like satire

Righto, how about politicians start first. Take a pay cut, or maybe actually do your job gratis for the good of the country and live off your passive income investment properties perhaps?

In Australia you do a visit and stay in the centre to check it out with your child. Next visit is short, and you leave your child for maybe 1 hour. If all good next time usually a half day or two, and then full days. My daughter has been 1 day a week since 3 months old (though is also in sessional Kinder now 3 days a week x 5 hours). Here there is reasonably well funded early learning, but the sector does have some major issues. I've been very happy with my centre and my daughter is happy enough there, though she prefers sessional Kinder.

This is what I fear too. I have never been on FB, Bezos can get f*ed, and I'm trying to deGoogle, but I fear they will come after the Fediverse and anything not controlled by Big Tech in the name of "safety".

No worries. It's a very stupid link!

I can't help wondering where the impetus for this ACCC investigation came from. It's a well known fact that Colesworth has fruit & veg suppliers over a barrel, they often have contracts where they barely break even: Colesworth makes all the profit. Could this accusation have come from someone actually working in the interest of Colesworth by trying to eliminate the competitiveness of Aldi by hamstringing their suppliers? It just seems such a bizarre accusation given Aldi is so much cheaper, making the attack, which is supposed to be in defence of consumers, likely to do the opposite of the intent of the law... unless I'm really missing something here.

Agree. The other part I didn't mention in the previous comment, is that on average, "people" aren't really much better off because we tend to ignore the extraction of wealth from the Global South: and those people certainly aren't better off on average, the bottom 50% of which have the same carbon budget as the top 1% of global population.

Technology plays a role, but the big part of current wealth is the hundreds of "oil slaves" we each have in the West. On the downslope of the carbon pulse this is going to be extremely unpleasant to have to get used to having less of.

It me!

They have "discriminated on circumstance". Due to structural factors like losing superannuation and workplace advancement due to biology, women are disadvantaged as a group to start with. When it comes to housing, especially after a relationship breaks down, women are the ones who generally have much less resources to start over. This is a structural and societal problem, so if you want "equality" learn about the backpack of privilege and start acknowledging structural biases that discriminate against women.

Absolutely!

It really is bad, I agree completely! The few good things are usually available elsewhere anyway.
