Interesting map of Australia with "nearest large town with a population of over 100,000" as the basis for labelling each region. A little surprised to see that Queensland has got 6 big towns while NSW has only got 4.

This was one of the hardest truths to learn and accept. With my visceral hatred for hypocrisy, it took looking at the data on how much bigger polluters companies were compared to individuals to finally accept that it's ok to preach environmentalism that you can only inadequately practice.

"Phase transition approach" is a really cool attitude to adopt for problem-solving and learning because instead of getting frustrated you realise that with most things in life that require effort, it's often an "it's not done it's not done and suddenly it's all done!" kind of a deal.
“this idea of a phase transition can give you a boost of confidence. You might be a lot closer than you realize to solving the whole thing, as long as you can just get a little bit better and jump over that phase transition point.” arstechnica.com/science/2025...
