Isn't there some well known agency that is in charge of finding and cutting back on these sorts of wasteful spending?

Child had a State level school swimming carnival yesterday.

No finals just timed heats.
Did well in heat, possibly through to next level carnival.

But didn't take a pic of the previous heat results on the score board to compare times. Are there results print outs somewhere? On website?

"Results are available in Meet Mobile app"

Download app, can see right race etc. Hit results, " please pay $10 USD to access results"

"So what we're looking at right now in America, is waking up Monday morning and having $US3 billion ($A4.77B) worth of beef, pork and poultry no longer eligible to export to China,"

Export licences issued five years ago were meant to auto-renew, but that was not happening and it seemed to be on purpose.

Last year the United States sent 170,000 tonnes of beef to China that would need to find another market.

All of the sudden the only grain-fed beef on earth that China can buy is from Australia

But surely when a fire starts we could just put it out with some DOGE AI or a fleet of Tesla robots?

Star link killing the ozone layer.

First generation (Gen1) Starlink satellites are being retired to make way for newer models. "More than 500 of the 4700 Gen1 Starlinks have now reentered,"

When Starlinks reenter, they disintegrate before hitting the ground, adding metallic vapors to the atmosphere.

In February 2023, NASA flew a WB-57 aircraft 60,000 feet over Alaska to collect aerosols. 10% of the particles contained aluminum and other metals from the "burn-up" of satellites.

What we're observing is a giant uncontrolled experiment in atmospheric chemistry. The demise of just one Gen1 Starlink satellite produces about 30 kilograms (66 pounds) of aluminum oxide, a compound that eats away at the ozone layer. A new study finds these oxides have increased 8-fold between 2016 and 2022, and the recent surge is increasing the pollution even more.

Surely nothing could go wrong if you outsource the US government to AI.

The thing is, bluesky is Centralised.

Yea you cannout you account info somewhere, but you need bluesky to do everything else. Yes other companies can run relays, but the amount of data and storage means it is very costly. A decent big size company would be needed. As more uses are added, those costs grow. which then would have to inject ads to help pay for it all. Then the authentication of your account still needs to be done centrally by bluesky.

It is a great twitter replacement as that is what it was designed to be.

Insurers say a 'bear' that damaged luxury cars in California was 'clearly a human in a bear suit.

A subsequent search of a home revealed a bear suit and a pair of meat-shredding claws.

The six-pronged Kitchen Mama cooking implements seemed to match the six puncture marks and scratches seen on the damaged upholstery.

Bears have five toes.

Gina Rhinehart, Australia's richest woman, has been trying to use her power and influence to remove a painting of her from the National Gallery.

She has even got swimmers that her company sponsors to write letters to have it taken down.

Renowned Aboriginal artist Vincent Namatjira is famous for a caricature style which challenges power structures, and he says his Australia in Colour series is no different.

Ordinary Australians are not having a bar of this. They have raised 35% of the money raised to put the painting on a massive billboard in Times Square for the world to see. Organised by @danilic

Where have we signed up for the bluesky TOS?

What gives this guy the right to copy our content we make for the fediverse available on a commercial network?

No one has consented for this.

The difference is it is a commercial network. We have not signed up to the TOS AND he is copying everything with out permission from the user.

We did sign up just to the fediverse, not to make content for a billionaire.

If people want to post elsewhere they can sign up for the TOS.

It needs to be OPT IN If people want to use it.
