TLDR: Australia wanted to sell our Jindalee over-the-horizon radar (JORN) to the US, then Trump happened, so now we’re selling it to Canada
TLDW: the graphics card market sucks, prices don’t relate to quality, base models are fiction, you should wait to upgrade if you can
Also it’s a different table depending on where you are
The giant breweries everywhere make low flavour beer as their aim is to make a product that won’t offend anyone. That sort of beer is also cheap so it’s more popular than more complex beers for both reasons (inoffensive and cheap)
I expect Newfoundland also Labrador, serving the beer drinkers in half a million people population, is higher quality than Molson-Coors, but even if they increased production it would be hard to keep the quality or meet the price of their competitor
Though in Australia we have regional beer and the giant east coast beers haven’t squashed the smaller breweries in South Australia or Tasmania – and South Australia and Tasmania produce better beers than Queensland, New South Wales, and Victoria

Australia has been running over the horizon radar for decades, I think Australia’s role in this is providing expertise
From over-the-horizon radar on Wikipedia
Another early shortwave OTH system was built in Australia in the early 1960s. This consisted of several antennas positioned four wavelengths apart, allowing the system to use phase-shift beamforming to steer the direction of sensitivity and adjust it to cover Singapore, Calcutta, and the UK. This system consumed 25 miles (40 km) of electrical cable in the antenna array.[7]
Note that the UK is approximately antipodal to Australia
Australia’s current OTH radars covers South East Asia, use half the transmit power of US OTH radar, and have longer range
That would be the other pole.
I hope this brings Canada and Australia closer together, but I think it’s just because Australia has been running an over the horizon radar for decades (since the 1960s), and so we have experts on the technology

It would suck right now to be a conservative with so much of world politics now being between centre left and radical right, with no simple conservative position left.
