Parking spaces (minimum) setout sizes are governed by an Australian Standard, which is enforced by planning and building permit compliance.

There is usually a requirement to provide a certain minimum number of spaces depending on the building usage, which is set out in the local government planning scheme. Most of the time, the more parking you have, the less area is available for the actual building and other uses.

The upshot is that parking is nearly always designed to the minimum standard, which these days is far too small for the large trucks that the small egos like to drive.

This creates an immense chilling effect on all climate protests in Germany.

Unfortunately, the chilling effect needs to be applied to the climate, not the protests.

Let's not forget this is all driven by people with the right skillset, in the right place at the right time, who are hell-bent on making vast amounts of money.

The "visionary technological change" is a secondary justification.

I still have, and occasionally use a pen virtually identical to this. Mine is a Sheaffer "Slim pen" purchased 1988, so maybe thinner than yours. Some years ago, I sent it away for repair. It came back fixed free of charge!

This is what the 3rd party access to API was really all about.

When API access was allowed , all reddit content was effectively free: They needed to ban 3rd party apps so they could sell the accumulated content. I expect using content to train AI also factors into it.
