Are there any stats to suggest that? I don't mean in a "prove it or gtfo" kind of way but I maintain a community for the Pulsar text editor on lemmy.ml (back before it was cool /hipster) when there weren't really any other (popular) instances. We have no political ideology (as a group, not speaking for individuals within it) and it is meant to be a Fediverse alternative to our Subreddit for discussion and support. The last thing I want is for people to not have access to it because instances are blocking it or people are shying away from lemmy.ml in general.

Surprisingly good... I mean it is SORN atm waiting for time and money to fix it up a bit but it is ULEZ compliant! I only ever use it for fun now, I have a much more boring car for every day use. And although I've lived in London suburbs or commuter towns all my life I think I've paid the CC maybe once or twice? I refuse to drive in central london, public transport is much better for that.

Not that unusual if it was in its native Australia or even in America but I have a Vauxhall Monaro VXR with the big V8. Basically a rebadged version of the "hot" Monaro - the Holden/HSV Coupe GTO. Also sold as a Pontiac GTO in America. I think only around 500 of that particular model was sold here and the idea of a muscle car isn't really a very "British" thing, you rarely see much beyond 3L V6s outside of the most expensive cars.

But the point is that in many places there is no such thing as a Resume so calling them different things is factually incorrect. There are just different lengths of CVs for different purposes.

I do appreciate that, I do recognise the term is used differently in different contexts and cultures but the point is that it is at odds with your blanket statement of "Cv vs resume. Different.". OP mentions some stuff about European unis so I assume that is what they are going for and, at least within the UK a CV literally is, in all contexts, what other people may call a Resume. We might make a distinction to specify an "Academic CV" to make sure a longer format is understood but generally the right format is based on context rather than terminology.

These are the first two results I found for "Australia CV":

https://www.visualcv.com/international/australia-cv/

Australia CV Terminology: The terms ‘resume’ and ‘CV’ are used synonymously in Australia - they refer to the same document. The word ‘resume’ is used more commonly, however, so if in doubt, use that one.

https://www.resumestoimpress.com.au/career-resources/how-to-prepare-an-australian-cv/ - this seems to imply a "true" CV for specific acadaemia purposes as well but also implies this is not what most people mean

Is it ‘CV’ or ‘Resume’ in Australia? A CV, short for Curriculum Vitae, is a detailed document outlining an individual’s educational background, work experience, skills, achievements, and other relevant information. In Australia, the term ‘CV’ is often used interchangeably with the term ‘resume’. In this article, we’ll discuss it in that context. However, there are some industries in Australia where a true ‘CV’ is required, such as academic positions at universities. True ‘CVs’ are expected to be longer and include more detailed information about a candidate’s experience

Obviously not discounting your experience but most things I can find online indicate that CV and resume are synonymous in Oz.

Not outside of the US

I remember seeing plenty of advertising for it and always saw it as a fundamentally different game with much more of a PvE focus. I didn't buy it until quite a while later but I remember being annoyed at the comparisons being made between them as they seemed so fundamentall different to me.

Battleborne - I found it enjoyable but because it was superficially similar to Overwatch it absolutely bombed.

As I understand it, just a portion. So where we tend to have breakers for something like, downstairs sockets, upstairs sockets, downstairs lights, upstairs lights, cooker etc. they would have it broken down far more granularly so maybe a single room or even multiple breakers for a single room and limited to much lower currents. Like our breakers are for 32 amps generally, theirs might be 16 or lower.
