  • They’re little sea puppies that are perfectly happy to cruise around while you swim with them. At least that’s the grey nurse sharks we get in aus. The ones you’re describing sound more like wobbegongs or similar. The grey nurses need to be in highly oxygenated water.

    Grey nurses also used to have a rep as “man eaters” but that was just because of how they looked,not any actual attacks





  • Yeah, I’m learning on an old mini, which is a great car to learn on because they made basically the same car for 40 years and it’s one of the most heavily produced cars of all time. I can buy every part for it for a reasonable price from one of 15 online retailers, about 5 of which are in Australia. However, if that wasn’t the case it would be quite a bad thing to learn on because you’d just spend all your time chasing parts.

    Something like that, an old Toyota or a bug would be a good car to learn on


  • For YouTube stuff, d3sshooter is pretty good. He’s an older bloke that really knows his stuff and does detailed videos about how to do specific jobs on his cars (e.g. I followed his video when putting together the hubs for my mini). This is also a more expensive way to do it, but restoring an old car isn’t a bad way to go. You’ll learn a hell of a lot from it and they’re a bit simpler and more approachable than a newer car

    But ranked choice is easy to implement and in practice if everyone would put a candidate second they aren’t likely to be knocked out in the first round. There are very limited practical examples where it doesn’t provide the optimal outcome.

    It also seems to have some level of support and momentum in the US and it seems to me like it’d be better not to get caught in the weeds fighting over which new voting system should be implemented there.



  • I mean, that seems like a really sceptical way to live. Often things get shilled because people are just happy with the service and think the business is doing things well. I am a kagi user and have brought it up to some others, including outside of lemmy, because I find it produces better search results than ddg etc. And it’s a definite step up from google in privacy
