Totally.

I get some people having a brief shower in the morning to ‘wake themselves up’, also.

… And here I am thinking FistingEnthusiast and FartMaster69 must surely have a lot in common.

When will I learn to never make assumptions on the internet _sigh

Make alternator spin. Is only way.

“It demonstrates that in low-density, sprawling cities like Brisbane, people cannot be expected to permanently give up driving unless there is significant investment in public transport.”

However, researchers found given participants were likely to slightly reduce their reliance on cars, it showed experiencing car-free living, even briefly, could help people break away from automobility.

In Brisbane, 89 per cent of households own at least one car and 48 per cent of commuters drive to work.

This was essentially the goal of the study, to demonstrate that more investment is needed in public transport to increase public buy-in, and that even just being forced to try it for a few weeks increases usage and lowers car use longer term - so if there can be incentives to try public transport that could also increase its use long term and reduce cars on the road.

The headline is not what people here (myself included) wanna read, but the study succeeded in its demonstration and will hopefully drive positive govt policy outcomes.

Vietnam speedrun any%

It did achieve the intended distraction from Trump’s Epstein issues quite well though, they’ve been off the press radar since this began.

I mean I wanna upvote but this has my AI sensor sus.

“They are made in china, why not just smuggle them out of the factory and skip the middle man?”

Explain how this comment makes sense.

They are not made in China.

This does not disagree with what I said, nor add weight to the statement I was replying to.

The servers in question in the article were made in the US and the chips in Taiwan.

Yes, there is shitfuckery going on with the grey market, and yes, Nvidia is likely doing their best to turn a blind eye - that really doesn’t have anything to do with what you wrote.

Uhh… No.

The servers in question are made and built in the USA, and the chips are made in Taiwan by TSMC. China is not involved at all, as they lack the capabilities to manufacture these chips (for now).

Absolutely. Never show weakness in your conviction. Don’t back down on your ideas because they may offend.

Seems to work on voters “looking for change” for the politicians selling hate, racism and fascism - don’t see why it couldn’t work for politicians selling inclusivity, positivity and socialism.

I don’t drink coffee after 3pm for that reason, and it’s definitely helped with settling for sleep at night. Good luck with your efforts.

Very cool, never heard of it… What an unfortunate latin name due to colonial misunderstanding.

I’m sure more enviromenally-hardy caffeine producing plants like this will become more popular and economically relevant as time goes on.

Totally fair enough, thanks for entertaining my curiousity. It is psychoactive which would be concerning about its widespread use if it wasn’t so clearly studied. Kicking the alcohol is definitely a far more impactful improvement to holistic health. Good luck in your efforts.

I have ADHD so caffeine is a useful tool for me, and I do love the flavour and scent.

Why go caffeine free?

I sadly figure the oil companies will make us all go caffeine free in the medium to long term, so may as well enjoy it now before it becomes a luxury of the wealthy.

We have consumed roughly half of the planet’s fossil fuels that are known and not too difficult to access.

If we continue and consume the other half it won’t matter one shit by then if the problem of leaks have ‘fixed themselves’ because most of humanity will be dead, those that remain will live in a world with so much CO2 in the atmosphere that they’re in permanent cognitive impairment.

I wish, I might be able to reprogram a bot off using Facebook every day and compulsive shopping habits.

IA is probably being slow for the same reasons as usual - DDoS attacks.

OP are you an undisclosed bot?

I ask mainly because the ‘Archive’ link does not exist - like the URL has been automatically generated for the benefit of this post, but the content is not hosted on the Web Archive yet. That and the Ai-looking user avatar and mass of news articles posted regularly day.

Its fine if you’re a bot BTW afaik, but just mention it on posts or in your user profile to set people’s expectations re: errors/etc.
