In Australia, we have followed the British housing tradition and have really bad insulation too! We are working on fixing it but there is so much to retrofit.

Sadly that was not the advice that they got.
On the other hand, using a heat pump for replacing a hot water heater is definitely a good thing. Using a heat pump on an old water radiator system may not work well. Friends had to replace a gas heater for their water radiator system and were told that there wasn’t a heat pump unit hot enough for the retrofit.
However as a common carrier they should be bound by rules like other providers of public infrastructure. To say that if people don’t like it they can leave trivialises the situation. People are being subjected to private propaganda and private censorship on a platform that masquerades as a bastion of free speech. Doesn’t matter if it’s Twitter or Facebook or Instagram , they are purveyors of other people’s ideas. If they manipulate or distort or censor then they should be sorted out.
I’m starting to think that social media sites of a certain size are more like common carriers (in the telecommunications sense) than news or discussion sites. As such they should be bound to deliver clear moderation and ensure that everyone able to be connected and communicate with in the clear rules. Ie. screw the algorithm and weird owner interference.
It seems that he actually said the words and from what he has said that he doesn’t like a reasonable work/life balance. He probably thinks that he’s a great employer however the millennial workforce may disagree.
I don’t think he is joking. As an out of touch billionaire who thinks that he is a modern feudal lord, he sounds on message.
Always thought that Cessnas with machine gunners was the way to go. Low tech but so are those drones.
True, they can be hard to find.
They were very popular in the day!
That’s the same as writing tests for software code after writing the code. A mystery without end or reliability.
It could be worse. He could also be a TV evangelical pedophile.
And for those of us who predate VHS it was books! I was hooked on the Lord of the Rings!
Another name for leaf blowers is air brooms and air brooms are useful for big jobs. They now come as battery powered which is better on two fronts as they are quieter but more importantly they are not using 2 stroke motors. Apparently the 2 stroke is the most polluting of internal combustion engines whose design hasn’t really improved since they were first invented.
It’s more about metabolic health rather than weight loss or gain. Mitochondria are the powerhouse of cellular biology and not having enough or poorly functioning mitochondria leads to all sorts of problems like inflammation and metabolic disorders like diabetes. A well functioning mitochondria should give more energy and better performance as well as better health.
From what I’ve read it is claimed to regenerate mitochondria, be quite quick to do so you save time but other forms of exercise achieve different results like burning fat, cardio etc.
There are a number of articles and these are a couple.
Try High Intensity Interval Training. Really intensive short workouts of a few minutes seem to regenerate mitochondria.
In Australia it stems from the use pays ethos. Universities have to raise funds and then do research based on what the funders want. Pretty stultifying to be a researcher.
And when Bill Shorten proposed to change the tax system to slow down speculative capital gains that are driving house prices, the people voted for Robodebt Scotty Morrison.
