How would you go about getting this rusted axle nut off?
Is it possible that the nut is reverse threaded? Ie, clockwise to undo it?

Many Leave voters have died

Change itself comes with a hefty price tag when dealing with decisions of this scale. Doesn't surprise me that there's a decent chunk of people voting "just leave it the fuck the alone", regardless of whether that means leaving the EU, or staying out of it.

If the organisation does not respond to the issue for over 100 days, then advising users of how insecure the system is, and that the organisation refuses to fix it, seems like a fairly responsible thing to do.

Production of DDR4 memory and motherboards is restarting amid unprecedented memory shortages — PC industry preparing for a world without DDR5
Reply in thread
Per the article, they will compete for wafer apace, but are actually simpler to produce, so hit one bottleneck instead of the two that ddr5 hits.
Although there is already DDR4 in the market, it’s also easier to produce, which would help elevate some of the bottlenecks in the current memory supply chain. One of the key shortages right now is advanced packaging, which DDR5 requires with an integrated PMIC. DDR4, by comparison, is much simpler to package and sell, which should help keep prices from climbing into the DDR5 range.

Smart really. In a time before dissection became common, the guy charged with torturing and/or killing people probably had the best anatomical knowledge of anyone.
There were also the corpse-magic superstitions, but I wonder how much of that itself arose from the coincidental 'getting covered in corpse juice" that occurred alongside having your broken bones set by that guy, and misattributing the cause of the subsequent healing.

Leggo's, Coles and Aldi selling Chinese tomatoes as 'Australian' and 'Italian' in products, forensic testing finds
I would like to see the tests results, and the datasets used to calibrate them before believing them. This entire article shouts "trust us, we did science" without actually sharing any of the results or the methods used to obtain them.
That's not how science works. Show us your methodology.
Edit: just had a read of the Source Certain website to see if the actual methodology is listed there somewhere, and not only do they have no useful information at all, they claim to use "proprietary science", aka, not science, because there is no peer review.

What ever happened to Ipecac? Why is it rarely used today, there was some side effects but not to warrant most hospitals to abruptly stop the use of it.

There are a lot fewer staff around than TV would have you believe. You would need basically 1-on-1 supervision until the drug wore off, which is very resource intensive compared to a one-time intervention.

An illegally parked car hindered the firefighters' intervention. The team passed the hose through the inside of the car.

The amount of water in a tank is a fraction of what is needed to tackle a major fire. You've got about 3 minutes worth with a branch open at full flow.
Because of that limitation, you also aren't going to start an internal attack until you have a reticulated supply established, since running out of water while inside a building is a potential death sentence.
If I were in the same position I would have simply run my feeder run around or over the car rather than messing about like this guy.

Why Toyota Was Right About Hydrogen, Even If The Industry Let It Down
Reply in thread
You can make your own hydrogen gas, at home without too much cost. Cooling and compressing it to a density where it would be viable for fueling cars is an order of magnitude more expensive.

That number moves much closer to 0% if you start counting the baby cows killed in order to keep their mothers perpetually lactating, rather than just those whose bodies were used as a direct ingredient.
A cow will be impregnated 6-8 times during her life on a typical dairy farm, before she is killed af half her natural lifespan to be replaced by a younger cow. One of those baby cows will be raised as that replacement cow, the rest will be killed shortly after birth.
Killing baby cows is an inherent part of cow-milk production.

Assuming that nunber wasnt pulled completely from someones ass, it has gotta include assets. There is no way anyone my age has two years salary available in cash. Shit, I probably only have one salary year's worth of equity in my house. Cash on hand I have maybe a weeks salary, depending how close I am to payday.

Victorian prisoners to be sent out to repair roads under Labor’s pothole plan
Reply in thread
Article says that they are being given low-skill jobs like mowing and trash collection, in order to free up paid workers to tackle high-skill jobs.
They will be paid a whopping $9 a day for effectively unskilled labour that doesn't increase their post-release prospects kn any substantive way.

How come not all people are organ donors? It's not like they will need them where ever they go.
Reply in thread
I very much agree. Also, in a lot of places, that indicator on your license is not legally binding, the decision still comes down to your next of kin.
A system where everyone is a donor by default, but can opt out in a low-effort manner such as sending off a signed declaration, would still allow those with a genuine desire not to be donors the ability to do so, but would greatly increase the donor pool by capturing the majority of indifferent people who simply have not made the effort to opt in.

Guess the game (#008)
I used to love this game as a kid. Tried to return to it a few years later though and found it was one of those 'game speed = cpu speed' setups which was unplayably fast on my new 800mhz machine. I should track down an emulator for it...
