No, it's cars that are dangerous ,as they are to cycllists and pedestrians, speaking as somone who has ridden motorcycles for 40 years.

Always, because they're not stupid, if they were, they'd be Conservatives ... and the answer to complex problems are not simple. That can't change.

Rice or pasta with cheap sauce and some grinded meat can sustain a person for quite a long time.
Another tip is to mix ground beans (just use a blender, black beans and chick peas etc) into the minced meat as well at say 50/50

Not everyone should need or own a truck, even if they can affird it .
Everyone, including the working poor are better served by great PT and AT and cities organized around that and then occasional need for a truck is met with rental, like the occasional need for a u haul trailer.

www.theguardian.com Is this river alive? Robert Macfarlane on the lives, deaths and rights of our rivers
As pollution levels hit record highs and fresh water becomes ‘the new oil’, is it time to radically reimagine our relationship to the natural world?
The vast Anthropocene reshaping of the planet that is now under way extends to water as well as land. The Three Gorges dam project on the Yangtze River in China impounds so much water that it has measurably slowed the rotation speed of the Earth. Oil extraction from the Alberta tar sands uses more than 200bn litres of fresh water a year: this is abstracted from the Athabasca River, rendered toxic – and then injected back into aquifers by way of “disposal”. Europe has the most obstructed river system of any continent, with more than 1m barriers fragmenting flow and only a handful of free-running waterways remaining.
It has long been in the interests of power to deem nature dead, in preparation for its extraction, conversion and consumption. This systematic de-animation process has been accelerated to calamity speed by the new US administration. Trump’s inaugural address was obsessively focused on “land”; his speech a bingo card of 19th-century settler-Christian tropes glorifying fir
b>ecause it’s stupid, pacifism doesn’t lead to less war, it leads to more suffering
You've confised self dence and pacislfism, they are not the same thing. A pacifist will always supoort self defence, like the Palestinians in Gaza,.the Houthi are the only onea defemding them, Ukrianians againt Russia
Australian's in Turkey, or in Vietnam or Malaysia etc not so much.
it’s the equivalent of saying don’t stand up to your bully just let him get away with it, in the end you lose and suffer more
So you're argument is that indigenous Australia's should stull be fightibg against the invasion ? I can onky agree.

At least the Greens can back their policies with numbers and details, even if you disagree with them. Dutton and Co, it's just a lot of spooky handwaving and "oooo Labor baaaad! Vote for us! We'll fix it by mumble mumble
But the latter wins the votes. LNP at the last election had the most votes of anyone with 35.7% Greens only had 12.2%. This election I'd expect the Greens to get less votes and the LNP to increase their voting %.

An ashen pallor and an eerie stillness all that remains where there should be fluttering fish and vibrant colours in the reefscape, one conservationist says

The world’s coral reefs have been pushed into “uncharted territory” by the worst global bleaching event on record that has now hit more than 80% of the planet’s reefs, scientists have warned.
Reefs in at least 82 countries and territories have been exposed to enough heat to turn corals white since the global event started in January 2023, the latest data from the US government’s Coral Reef Watch shows.
Coral reefs are known as the rainforests of the sea because of their high concentration of biodiversity that supports about a third of all marine species and a billion people.
I wonder what's causing that /s

Some of my classmates had activated their cameras. I scrolled through the little windows, noting the alarmed faces, downcast in cold laptop light. There were dozens of us on the call, including a geophysicist, an actor, a retired financial adviser and a civil engineer. We all looked worried, and rightly so. The issue formerly known as climate change was now a polycrisis called climate collapse. H1N1 was busily jumping from birds to cows to people. And with each passing day, as Donald Trump went about gleefully dismantling state capacity, the promise of a competent government response to the next hurricane, wildfire, flood, pandemic, drought, mudslide, heatwave, financial meltdown, hailstorm or other calamity receded further from view.
I still find it staggering and heart-rending that we blew this so badly,”
I can only agree with that

Rising temperatures could cause a surge in mental health disorders with young Australians most at risk - ABC News
www.abc.net.au 'Only going to get worse': Extreme heat linked to rise in mental health disorders
Young Australians are most at risk, according to new research by the University of Adelaide.
Lead author Professor Peng Bi said the impact of climate change on mental health was “only going to get worse” without action.
“From mild distress to serious conditions like schizophrenia, rising temperatures are making things harder for millions,” he said.
High temperatures, according to the report, contributed to an annual loss of 8,459 disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) between 2003 and 2018.
A new study led by a team at the University of Adelaide’s School of Public Health has found the burden of mental and behavioural disorders could increase by almost 50 per cent by 2050.

Australian Conservation Foundation says opposition has ‘failed every single test’ while Labor passes with 54% and Greens achieve 98%
cross-posted from: https://slrpnk.net/post/20839222
One of Australia’s largest conservation organisations has awarded the federal Coalition just one out of 100 for its environment and climate change policies – the lowest score it has given the Liberal and National parties in more than 20 years of compiling pre-election scorecards.
Labor scraped through with a pass – on 54% – while the Greens achieved 98%, according to the scorecard, which ranked the major parties and key independents on their policies for protecting nature, championing renewable energy, and rejecting nuclear and fossil fuels.
As a Greens voter, I am bemused they scored that high, must be a low bar, which is scary considering how low the two main parties ranked.

One of the major obstacles preventing reform is that no-one is willing to admit there’s a problem, according to Mallon.

He says because banks and insurance companies have exposure in these sub-prime climate markets, it’s not in their interests to raise the alarm.

www.theguardian.com Revealed: nearly 2m hectares of koala habitat bulldozed since 2011 – despite political promises to protect species
Guardian Australia is highlighting the plight of our endangered native species during an election campaign that is ignoring broken environment laws and rapidly declining ecosystems
The scale of habitat destruction in Queensland and New South Wales – states in which the koala is formally recognised as being at risk of extinction – has continued despite political promises it would be protected.
About three-quarters of the lost forest is estimated to have been cleared for agriculture, to create cattle pasture and crop fields. The analysis found 13% was removed by the forestry industry and 5% for development of infrastructure, including mining. Just 4% was likely due to natural causes, such as bushfire and drought.
Nearly all of the forest destruction occurred on a small scale that did not require consideration under federal environment law.
