It's a good platform, but it's not European, right?

Data center setups don’t use consumer level PSUs and CPUs.

CPU coolers, not CPUs.

And presumably the raw materials are the same for server PSUs and heatsinks, which is the explanation (true or not) for price hikes given in the article:

The company explained that prices for key upstream materials such as copper, silver, and tin have continued to climb over the past few months due to global market conditions.

If the alcohol is the problem, there's a lot of non-alcoholic beers available in Australia these days.

Possibly a nitro cold brew? I don't know if you'd consider that a good pairing with a burger, though!

In fact, China’s military spending per capita is less than the global average, and 1/10th that of the US alone. Yes, China has a big population, but even in absolute terms, the US-aligned military bloc spends over seven times more on military power than China does.

Furthermore, China has not fired a single bullet in international warfare in over 40 years, while during this time the US has invaded, bombed or carried out regime-change operations in over a dozen Global South countries. If there is any state that poses a known threat to world peace and security, it is the US.

These are points worth making every single time our politicians and media try to scaremonger on China.

“What we need to do here is to have very clear statements and actions by the Australian government that make a difference ...” Mr Albanese said.

Oh, cool, so are you planning on taking any actions, then? Anything at all?

The fucking gall of Albo to imply the protest movement is just empty slogans when he hasn't lifted a fucking finger, whereas members of the protest movement have put their bodies on the line to obstruct weapons exports.

It won't.

If they thought it would do any good, then they wouldn't have the spine to do it.

We know they don't have the spine to do anything with any practical effect, because otherwise they would have done it by now. They could have instituted broad trade sanctions, or prevented the export of military goods including F-35 parts and steel armour plating.

It's not about lobbying, it's that the USA owns Australia.

they do these timid little flash mobs when most people are asleep because they keep getting beaten up or humiliated whenever they do anything in daylight
