Preface: I am no expert, this is just my understanding.
Weapons that are illegal/considered war crimes fall roughly into categories of:
A. Indiscriminate - kill soldiers and non-combatants/civilians alike (eg. Land mines, incendiary, cluster bombs, etc)
B. Cruel - especially painful ways to die or designed to cause ongoing suffering and maiming. (Eg: gas/chemical warfare, dirty bombs, etc)
A lot of weapons tick both of those boxes, and there are possibly more i am unaware of.
Exactly, except that in Australia it wouldnt be a starbucks, but a non-chain basista coffee shop.
Wouldnt they be Meteorites if they actually enter our atmosphere and land on earth?
We have neighbours a couple houses down that occasionally like to have people over in their loud echo-ey metal fence+patio back yard and chop their firepit wood every hour or so when they run out, sometimes well after midnight. I do not think they realise how far that sound carries through the night and dont have the foresight to chop during the afternoon beforehand.
Oh my.
A chamois is going to give a MUCH better finish, is silent and costs pocket change.
If you listen very, very carefully, you can hear the percentage of humans to bots on reddit tick that little bit higher

I could be wrong but i believe british police dont routinely carry guns
You’re tearing me apart lisa!
I saw some footage from footage from their recent shows and they look like they put on a fun show, and the years haven’t slowed them down
The plastic straws thing drives me up the wall.
They had to choose the smallest of possible plastic items to replace with the smallest impact (compared to things like plastic plates/cutlery or something). But paper/cardboard straws SUCK. Smoothies/thick shakes/juices/cocktails, its mush before your done or just straight up bends and snaps when you try to stir the drink after a couple minutes of bing in there.
Plastic straws disappeared immediately but the lids for coffee cups and soft drinks are only just getting phased out now? Its like they did the absolute least possible and went “look at us saving the environment!”.
At least bamboo straws and other biodegradables hold up the whole way through the drink.
This is becoming an issue in Australia, we have high solar uptake but a lot of systems were installed before batteries were readily available earlier on or without batteries to save outlay. The result is that there is more energy on the grid during the day while nobody is home and the grid highly utilised at night, but there is less people paying utility fees & usage so the grid will soon become underfunded for repairs and expanding infrastructure.
Its not a problem yet but there will be policy and taxing changes in the near future to account for this (similar to fuel exercise tax being shifted from being tacked onto the fuel prices to instead be some tax or licence fee as we shift to electric/green tech vehicles)
Thanks, ill check it out
Autodesk for myself, apparently its super dependant on .net and other windows framework so its not like they are going to make it linux compatible any time soon.
All i can think is ‘imagine if Bernie was 10yrs younger…’
For me its the Borderlands series & portal 2.
Well TIL, thanks. I always associated it with the kids who would listen to like deftones and dance like that
Hands are essentially just giant sporks
