Now that is an unpopular opinion.

World record photovoltaic efficiency achieved for kesterite solar cell (www.unsw.edu.au)
 

If you're like me, and need an explainer on tandem cells, they're simply talking about Multi-junction Solar Cells.... Yeah, i's not sure either, have a link! :)

We love luxury goods, as long as you don’t tell us they're sustainable (www.qut.edu.au)
 

Ms Joenpolvi said similar results were found in posts on the luxury cars – those that included progress-focused language about sustainability achieved well above the average shares on Facebook for each brand.

“The posts that mentioned their luxury cars had ‘sustainable materials’, ‘eco-friendly materials’ or were fighting ‘plastic pollution’ achieve dismal shares, such as just 6 per cent of the average shares for that brand.

I'd forgotten that episode. Time for a relisten, Turnbull has done a good job with that podcast.

He probably needs another host though, someone else to bounce off to liven him up a little.

I heard Shorten is about to become quite a lot less busy....

Politicians kneecap charities, climate in electoral power grab | Climate Council (www.climatecouncil.org.au)
 

The bills ban charities from using general donations on public communications about ‘electoral matters’, which includes commentary on issues like climate change during an election campaign.

Climate Council CEO Amanda McKenzie said the dirty deal is an attack on democracy and truth in politics:

“This law kneecaps charities from doing their essential work during elections. By silencing independent voices, the Labor and Liberal parties are making sure Australians only hear from politicians on issues like climate change.

“This law gags independent and fearless advocates like the Climate Council from speaking out on the very issue we were set up to solve. How will Australians know what politicians are up to on climate change, if the only voices left in the debate during elections are politicians or their financial backers in the fossil fuel industry?”

I used to work with a lady who could whistle like it was a summery bird. She was one of the more pleasant people i've worked alongside in my life.

When you say hold, what do you mean?

Like furrowing your forehead and holding it in the creases? Or is it more of a balance type situation?

Do you pick it up with your forehead as well, or does this thing need finger loading?

What part/s of the pencil can be held, is it the side? Dull end? Sharp end?

Please answer this.

Maybe your one of those local famous people everyone in town knows about, but nobody from out of town has ever heard about, you might be called, the red-line throat singer, the train seat growler...

Interesting, so i take from that, they see some issues themselves. Be interesting to see what actions they take with that in mind.

For my own interest just looked on lemmyverse.net.

I knew they had a lot of communities, but at 10,612 communities, phew, who is modding all of that!

A human might not, but you have to wonder if Treebeard was cruising round Isengard after the battle collecting arms and legs of the dunlendings for his vase on his dinner table back home.

Wow! This is new! For me, i mean. That'll be useful to keep track of cheers!

Yeah, LW is a little problematic. It'd be interesting to read the LW admins and mods take on this. Whether they feel stretched, or see the issues the smaller instances see, or whether their size and centralised role is what they like.

The only thing i remember from a ways back is the admins have an express mantra of user growth.
