    It's how Astana bulked up their points last year - sent strong teams to the minor races, and barely bothered showing up to the major races. They knew their best wasn't going to be good enough to claim points in races like the TDF, so they basically gave them away and focused on races they could...

    It's good to see different teams coming up with different concepts though, working within the same set of regulations.

    Opinion AUSTRALIAN Politics: Adelaide Board Discussion Part 6

    10 years of "masterful inactivity" (as Sir Humphrey Appleby would phrase it) by the LNP definitely slowed progress down. Thankfully, that roadblock has been removed, and we are now progressing towards the future at a reasonable rate.

    We're headed in the right direction. I'm not confident of us getting to 100% inside 10 years, but we're headed in the right direction now that we've got the LNP roadblock out of the way.

    If you look at the graphs, Q4 has been the cheapest quarter for several years now - it's normally fairly sunny & windy (good renewable generating conditions), without having the extreme heat which drives up demand. It's one thing to get good renewable output in Q4, it's another to get it in...

    There's an interesting article on the impact that renewables had in Q4 of 2005 on the ABC today: https://www.abc.net.au/news/2026-01-29/australia-hits-power-demand-record-as-renewables-pass-50pc/106280246 My selected highlights: For the first time, renewables produced more than 50% of...

    Aussie Summer of Cycling 2026

    Interesting, given that the fires are well to the west of the routes for both the Surf Coast Classic and CEGORR. You can see the fire locations here: https://emergency.vic.gov.au/respond/?=&bbox=142.9541015625%2C-38.832754476016554%2C144.42352294921875%2C-38.23602279968667&tm=1769565602954 The...

    Are you seriously trying to justify posting a 300 line screed of AI Slop, and passing it off as a quality post? AI Slop should be banned full stop, regardless of who is posting it and why. Make your case without resorting to AI generated crap, which is completely disreputable and 80% of the...

    Opinion INTERNATIONAL Politics: Adelaide Board Discussion Part 6

    To be fair, "It's AI Slop" is a good counter argument for anything - MAGA or otherwise. The default position for anything/everything AI generated is mistrust. This one's not on Pete - it's on you for posting AI Slop in the first place. If you want to argue against trickle down economics...

    From what I can gather, Taylor is or at least was overseas. Both come from the right faction, and they're trying to figure out who has the numbers to become the faction's nominee/challenger.

    The ICAC found both Gladys & Maguire (her boyfriend) to have committed seriously corrupt conduct: https://www.abc.net.au/news/2023-06-29/key-findings-icac-report-gladys-berejiklian-daryl-maguire/102541084

    Gladys probably isn't getting one any time soon, given her corruption findings from the ICAC.

    Agreed. Very happy to see him rewarded for his work outside of his political offices. Scomo was famously quoted as saying "I don't hold a hose" - Abbott was (and is) the complete opposite. I despise his politics, and maintain that he was one of the worst PMs in Australia's history, but I have...

    Opinion INTERNATIONAL Politics: Adelaide Board Discussion Part 6

    With electorates that haven't been gerrymandered (electoral boundaries set by an independent and non-partisan organisation), and without the stupidity that is the Electoral College. So many things that are horribly wrong with the way elections are conducted in the Fascist States of America.
