@decryption@aus.social @aj@gts.sadauskas.id.au @jamesh@aus.social I'm convinced that in 500 years the 20th century will be remembered not for its wars or butchery or discoveries, but as the time we fucked all the cities by deciding everything should be built around cars as the main (often only) transport option, and the next couple of centuries were spent unfucking the place, and abandoning those beyond repair (eg Canberra).

@Kels_316@aus.social Had a discussion with one such a while back and asked her if she'd ever heard of imposter syndrome and got a completely blank look. Went on to a bullshit career as a management consultant and ended up on some university sinecure bullshitting on about AI. Five stars.

@camwilson@mastodon.social Much mirth in those costings. Current costings in the US around $US100B per GW. Is Australia 10x cheaper? Absurd.

@bigjsl@aus.social Became dukes and earls and counts and had fun in the endless toing and froing of little mini-states and gradual accretion of land into larger states over the next 500 years.

@pluralistic@mamot.fr people are always betting that physics is wrong, but this one is especially daft and wasteful. It’s exhausting.

@Kels_316 two thirds of boomers left school by 16. Doesn’t mean they are dumb but does affect their worldview and bullshit detectors.

@nealon Is it disrespectful to walk on the CPFC rug?

@nealon@aus.social but is that just a regular Costco shopper thing?

@neffo@mas.to @camwilson@mastodon.social Hah! Still lowballing it though. Unrealistic.

@franksting@theblower.au @decryption@aus.social childhood memories and older brothers…
