Corned beef is pretty good value. Cook low for about 6-7 hours with onion, carrot, celery and pepper. Colesworth also sell ‘gravy beef’ and ‘chuck beef’. These are usually cheaper and very tasty when slow cooked. Perfect for stews/etc. 6-7 hours on low in a stock works great.

It’s mass that holds heat. Rammed earth is great if you don’t let it get too hot (so needs shading), or if it’s insulated (the best way).

For almost all of Australia bar the tropical north, the best construction is insulated mass - ie cladding (lightweight or not), then a cavity, then loads of insulation and a Vapor membrane, then masonry.

I’m not being facetious or unkind here, but for many 10’s of thousands of years we have been developing meaningful social circles by seeing people in person. Just give it a go!

It’s a big WHOOOSH, but I actually do respect all the people getting as far as reading ‘https://twit…’… and saying ‘fuck that’.

No. Hydrogen peroxide is the best disinfectant. Beats sunlight by a long long margin.

Bleaching Nazis on the internet is basically what OP is calling for, and by your own analogy, they’re right.

Dude. It’s an app, not your wife.

Maximally hilarious.

The whole premise of ads on Twitter is that they’re targeted.

IBM don’t sell consumer crap. They sell smoke and mirrors to major governments and industry. They’re chasing jobs worth millions per pop. They want ads to target the people making those decisions.

Mate, come on, that’s not fair at all. Get your head out of your arse.

ABC have been covering this heaps. They broke the Afghan files story in the first place. Adele Furgheson has literally been writing articles about whistleblowers and David McBride for weeks in the lead up to this. Latest one from looking at the ABC website here: https://www.abc.net.au/news/2023-11-18/david-mcbride-guilty-plea-whistleblower-protection/103120544

Fairfax is also literally the news link at the top of the OP post here!

There are always excellent reports coming from the ABC & Fairfax with a quality of investigative work that FJ doesn’t even come close to matching. ABC & Fairfax may have their faults, but this is not one of them.

This must be insanely frustrating. Only more the reason to have a decent suite of whistleblower protection laws.

It’s not the onion, it’s The Chaser who are based in Australia. And I guarantee they don’t give a shit.

 

That damn Melbourne community has posts with 400+ comments. Honestly, what is going on here?

It's the middle of winter, so I know we're all still surfing and drinking in the beer gardens while they have nothing to do but chatter while they freeze their nuts off, but still...put some damn effort in people.

 

Browsing through the federated list of communities, it's interesting to see the local Aussie Zone ones so active compared to most. I'm sure we're not seeing every thing, but I imagine that most of the more active communities will be federated here.

Big props to Lodion for getting things off the ground. What a legend! And good on everyone here for getting on board so quickly. You're all bloody legends too!

I’ve been in Sydney for 12 years now and we’re up the Blue Mountains all the time. I’ve been putting off the Lockeys Pylon walk because there’s just so much else to see and do, but yesterday was the day.

And it was a beautiful perfect sunny winter day. So little haze that you could see the CBD towers. And I do love this side of the Grose Valley. Heaps of flowers out, with new wattle just coming in too.

The walk was great, but I think Dr Dark’s cave is my favourite spot in that area.

Where’s your pick in the Blueys?

 

What good are interest rate rises to fight inflation when these mugs slap 20% on to your home & small business power bill?

 

I mean, other than procrastinating at work.

 

If we're going to have a Melbourne community, can we have a Sydney one too? It will be just like the Melbourne one only insufferably smug and better for it.
