Don’t let perfect be the enemy of better. Democrats in America suck, yes, like Labor in Australia sucks. I’m still absolutely making my vote count away from the conservatives.

I very much agree, the number of guns per licence in and of itself is not a concern. That said, I still believe that it’s a valuable statistic to track.
Legally owned/originally acquired guns are the ones that contribute to the grey-market, obviously, and acknowledging that the supply for that market is likely to grow is important to bare in mind.
I absolutely agree with the last statement as well, greater restrictions around semi-automatic and faster firing weapons has had the greatest impact on safety, regardless of the increase in guns per person.


I’d never heard of it, but I appreciate your comment, thank you.
I would love to see similar projects rolled out globally. I don’t think we quite understand how much data can be and is being collected by our local agencies, and how much that puts us at risk.

My mother used gas stove tops her whole life. My dad has quite a bit of climate concern, and he convinced her to go to electric induction (after many years of argument, mind you).
3 years later, and neither of them would ever cook on gas again. Mum cannot believe how truly efficient electric induction heating is, and combined with their new solar panels, the only bill they’ve had to maintain since 2023 is the internet.
I think in Australia, there’s a bit of a stigma against electric cooking, because in the 70s, 80s, electric cooking was achieved with really slow, inefficient resistance coils. I would submit that there will be an even greater acceptance of electric cooking once the older generation get the opportunity to try induction.
I’m actually really excited for this one! The same as Cult of the Lamb, combining genres is such an untapped market at the moment. And a factory-builder-esque management sim where you are at the whims of your own bad code, combined with a god simulator where your citizens and enemies are at the whims of your own bad mood seems like a match made in heaven.
