A serious govt would have launched such an inquiry in the first year of its term, or maybe the second year
But all the same the results should be released before the election, so people can decide for themselves the extent to which it is a cynical excuse-making exercise

You can't do politics in here, this is the house of parliament

The House: Question Time gets more pointedly political
Parliament's Question Time is often frustrating but elections politicise it further, as recent exchanges on unemployment and gas imports demonstrate.

Ok, so here's the thing ... while electromagnetic radiative cooling in space exists, passive thermal cooling does not. The vacuum of space LITERALLY INSULATES AGAINST IT.
One of the biggest problems in space is getting rid of waste heat and putting a SERVER FARM in space doesn't get around this.

This would have been a good point for someone to have asked, is that really how things work? Or is vacuum in fact an excellent insulator? www.ft.com/content/a5cf...

Would Bluesky enjoy this god awful clip of Kid Rock from SNL S26E16 that has been scrubbed from the internet?
Because I just found a host of VHS back ups and have that clip right here 😇
As far as I know I have the only YouTube upload - SNL scrubbed the clip long before YouTube

Then I remembered it's the place that provided Neil Gaiman a resident professorship for a decade

this is why my corporate mottos are "Don't Expect Too Much" and "Seriously, We're Just Trying to Make Money"
I forget who said it, but it's been noted that while "Don't Be Evil" and "Democracy Dies in Darkness" are kinda corny as corporate mottoes, is invariably a *very bad sign* when companies abandon them.

So, this is the kind of rules lawyer shit I live for: saying something that is offensive to the president or vp typically refers to statements of opinion, rather than statements of fact.
Unfortunately, the determination of “offense” is left up to the parliamentarian if the chair can’t adjudicate.
