It often helps to consider sprawling complex inter-jurisdictional, inter-industry, multi-special-interest dynamics like this (electricity producers, manufacturers, gas distribution networks, gas producers, state+fed gov, etc etc) as a sprawling legacy codebase that nobody wants to refactor

It's such an obvious time-bomb in the macroeconomic fabric that ... How does this make sense to anyone involved

It really feels like our current centrist government just wants to hand the XBox controller of government back to the conservatives who set this up so that they can deal with it

Brought to you examining the world's largest LNG exporter having to create an LNG *import* terminal so that we can buy our own domestic gas loaded/shipped over water/decanted at SE Asia market prices paid in USD

At a time when AUD is tumbling & energy prices keep inflation up

This seems suicidal

4000 ANSI Lumens! I have to squint on some colour profiles if I look up from my little screen at night.. perfectly viewable with lights on, or during the day

So Eco mode is best actually, at 2400 ANSI Lumens (~17,000hrs lamp life)

Best of all you can customize the boot/"no signal" splash screen

trust RT to frame it as only NATO sending aid, .ua as not a real country, Ukrainians as a people who hadn't built a standard of living for themselves that left .ru behind, or a future worth fighting for.. and with all .ru's post-2000 actions in this region blameless in creating this war of attrition
