Huge vote of confidence for Doohan there, jeez.

"Ticketing giants Ticketmaster and Ticketek have defended the practice, saying prices were set by artists and their teams, and that demand-driven pricing mitigates the problem of ticket scalping."

People were fed up with scalpers overcharging for tickets, so we decided to overcharge in their place. Problem solved, you're welcome!

"The Biodiversity Council said a “first-pass assessment” had found the Australian government spent about 50 times more subsidising activities that damaged the environment – including clearing and degradation of nature for mining, agriculture, native forest logging and road construction – than on helping biodiversity."

This was a cheap and easy announcement for the feds, with no real work being done. Very little is done to protect continental offshore environments and we will lose the Great Barrier Reef as a result.

Nah, can't chew bro.

When I say "herbal" you say "no, thanks"

He was not given a fine, it was suspended for 12 months. He has essentially escaped consequence, which is just so disappointingly unsurprising for Western Australia.

TL;DR: "ORNL has a high level of confidence that all data indicate the material was manufactured terrestrially—albeit using an uncommon mixture of elements by today’s standards—and then incurred damage caused by mechanical and heat stressors".

My father-in-law is from Burkina, and his family, including my brother-in-law, still live there. The rejection of ECOWAS and the alliance with Mali and Niger is popular, owing mostly to what I'd describe as a general anti colonialist and, particularly, anti French sentiment, which I suppose is understandable.

The article talks about how the countries have rejected French military aid, but the overwhelming opinion I hear from any of the expats I talk with is that the French were only there to protect their mineral interests and provided minimal aid outside of that.

Ultimately, the combined military power of all three nations is not enough to fend off the insurgency. They are further hampered by inter-ethnic conflict, and I very much doubt that Russia will be able to provide any meaningful support, especially for free. This all leads to intense civilian suffering which, in my opinion, requires UN intervention. Unfortunately unless the military junta suddenly reverses its opinion on western influence, this is unlikely to happen.

Oh that's interesting, I definitely get a depth of field with the other two, but you're right that this one is much more pronounced. In any case, I didn't make them. They were produced in the early 1800s by Ben Franklin, and it wouldn't feel right to edit them (not that I have the know-how).

There's a centre of mass joke in here somewhere
