overview for zero

In short:

Donald Trump's newest round of tariffs mean virtually all imports to the US — including from Australia — will be hit with an import tax of at least 10 per cent.

Australia has avoided a higher "reciprocal" tariff rate, which is being placed on imports from specific countries deemed to have treated America poorly.

What's next?

Some of America's trading partners are preparing retaliatory measures, such as counter-tariffs. Australia says it would prefer to work through a dispute settlement process in the nations' free trade agreement, but hopes it doesn't come to that.

Fifteen Palestinian paramedics and rescue workers, including at least one United Nations employee, were killed by Israeli forces “one by one” and buried in a mass grave eight days ago in southern Gaza, the UN has said.

According to the UN humanitarian affairs office (Ocha), the Palestinian Red Crescent (PRCS) and civil defence workers were on a mission to rescue colleagues who had been shot at earlier in the day, when their clearly marked vehicles came under heavy Israeli fire in Rafah city’s Tel al-Sultan district. A Red Crescent official in Gaza said that there was evidence of at least one person being detained and killed, as the body of one of the dead had been found with his hands tied.

Right now, I have a cron job set to run on Monday and Friday nights, is this too frequent?

Only you can answer this. How many days of data are you prepared to lose? What are the downsides of running your backup scripts more frequently?

I'd recommend browsing the Lexicanum wiki: https://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Main_Page

For books, a common recommendation for starting with the setting is the Eisenhorn trilogy (https://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Eisenhorn_(Novel_Series)). Another common recommendation is reading the first few books of the Gaunts Ghosts series (https://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Gaunt%27s_Ghosts_(Novel_Series)).

The lore in this meme (the Razing of Monarchia) is covered in the Horus Heresy novels. If you wanted to jump straight in with the Heresy series it's generally recommended you read the first five of them^, then branch out into whichever subseries interest you.

^ Horus Rising, False Gods, Galaxy in Flames, Flight of the Eisenstein, Fulgrim

Would you be in favour of introducing some kind of Condorcet method to address this?

Unlike GURPS though, they probably didn’t have their offices raided by the FBI because the jackbooted thugs were too stupid to understand the difference between fiction and real life.

lol, I'd never heard about this: https://www.sjgames.com/gurps/Roleplayer/Roleplayer19/Raid.html

The agents who raided our office grumbled loudly in my presence about the "manual for computer crime" that we were publishing, but (aside from holding our hardware and text files) they have taken no further action against the book.
