Wow! The Mary Rose... you just sent me down memory lane. I hadn't thought about that ship in decades. So i saw that ship when it was still going through that water treatment business. Blew my mind then, i's really young at the time.

And now i realise i've been to Portsmouth, we were staying over in Eastbourne at the time.

The trip was full of museums and castle visits all over the south of England at least between Battle and Tintagel. So we could easily have been to the Explosion museum as well. I'll have to dig out the old scrap books and see if somethings written in them about it.

The years ticket to all of those sounds like a great way to spend some weekends, get to enjoy the harbour as well.

Lol Cheers :) I'd like the Community to be WA as a whole, but i'm guessing your meaning a little further than that even.

That was all one tree? Wtf!

I only saw a Perentie at the Zoo in the last week. Cool lookin bastards! The one at the zoo was enjoying the last sunny spot in its enclosure.

 

Ms Collard said. “The Coalition has done such great work on calling out the failures of voluntary codes in the big supermarket space, so we’re confused as to why they’re effectively offering a voluntary code to the big car makers on pollution.

Good point for them to make about the Coalitions double standards here.

“Now, vehicles like the Ford F150 Lightning, the Tesla Cybertruck, and the Rivian R1T — all powerful, clean options suitable for farm work — could finally become accessible here,” said Ms Collard. “It’s a gut punch to see these leaders wanting to remove these choices from the table.”

I find it hard to believe any farmer would have a use for a cybertruck though.

FCA member and fifth generation farmer Peter Stray penned a letter to the federal government in support of the standards last year

Damn, i like Magpies, they're the bird i want to see/hear most. Cheeky little bastards with a beautiful song. Hopefully they can work this out soon.

 

For now, researchers are urging the public who see a sick magpie to follow this checklist:

Avoid contact with the bird. Record what you see, including the location of the animal and take photos or video if safe to do so. For more information, see the WHA guidance document for sick and injured wildlife. Contact a wildlife rehabilitation group or your local veterinarian.
If you see any other unusual signs of disease or deaths in wildlife anywhere in Australia, you can report it to:

o your local State/Territory WHA Coordinator

o the 24-hour Emergency Animal Disease Hotline on free call 1800 675 888

o your local veterinarian

o the Department of Primary Industries or Agriculture in the State/Territory in which the event is occurring/occurred.

End of a successful week at work, time to spend the weekend with family over from ye olde country.... so drink the beers.

 

A weekend, (because i forgot since Wednesday), thread for discussing the wild, whacky and utterly mundane of life in our isolated wedge of the planet.

This looks so ridiculously nice!

 

But the High Court found people whose private interests were affected or who had a special interest, such as long-standing concern about logging and its effect on certain species, could bring prosecutions.

This could be quite significant.

It potentially restricts vexatious legal challenges by otherwise unconnected parties to hold up projects. Narrowing or reaffirming the size of the field of persons with a recognised claim.

I cannot find an article as evidence so if i'm wrong on the below, sorry, and please don't rely on my memory here.

Disclaimer aside, I'm sure i heard that vexatious legal challenges from non-local actors have been used to help cripple wind farm investments in NSW in the past. If this is true, then this High Court decision could make vexatious campaigns like that harder to implement.

I must have heard it on a podcast, instead of reading it, i think.

Hmm, i keep an eye out. Should be easy-ish to remember the name, i immediately associated him with Mark Webber.

Both speedy - different tracks.

He's apparently a writer for the Herald Sun and Australian. Thats enough for me to discount anything he says immediately as probably skewed if not outright false, until he proves otherwise. Believe it or not they, (Murdoch Propagandists), can, rarely, make levelheaded comments. Its a rare sight though.

Advance is Exposed in Macnamara

Title seems deliberate, and a little hyberbolic, in an attempt to mislead readers as to the articles subject matter.

The article reads like a friendly disagreement among friends. Where one friend has a brainfart their muddled mind construes as profound then has to express it, thus demonstrating his knowledge and command of a subject to all around.

They are aligned with Islamist extremists, offering a safe space for anti-Semites. The party backs some of the world’s most violent, tyrannical, misogynist, anti-gay and racist regimes. They claim to be progressive but are the exact opposite of progressive.

Classic lazy partisan writing.

Assertion of non-specific associations. Using language indicating those associations as deplorable to the unbelievably extreme.

But all too often turns out to be literally unbelievable. With comparisons easily made about all other actors, in this case Labor/Liberal/Nats/etc, when judged by the same skewed grounds these allegations have been laid.

One massive problem with this type of shitscoop writing is, when a truly disgusting association comes to light of some heinous group/individual and some political entity, be it individuals or Party, the languages impact has been minimised due to its low bar for deployment.

 

Queenslanders might have Gout Gout, but we have O'brien... "Oo...Ooo... Ooo.. O'brien!"

But in all seriousness is Aussie athletics having a moment?

So my non-technical view is it'd be better to stay public. I don't know the costs for resources, so i'll leave that for others.

Staying open
  • People perusing the internet could find useful information on the communities here.

  • The views of normal people probably want to be visible on the internet in these times, i think AZ excels at delivering a space for reasonable people. Whether its AI crawlers getting skewed to psychotic, or average people trying to find a space that isn't so extreme, i think the more visible reasonableness is the better.

  • the reddit argument. This is a clone of reddit afterall, and a mantra of reddit was to be 'the front page of the internet'. Doesn't mean we have to stay the same, but we should consider the departure from that idea and its implications.

  • Do we know the route that people take to become new users? We don't want to block off that route.

  • Sometimes it can be useful for me to quickly look at communities without logging in, in the browser. Just to see what a post or feature in a particular community looks like. Its a niche use, and it wouldn't be a big hassle to go without.

They will now. Sky After Dark'll probably have a whole segment on those woke bilbys!

Don't worry Scott Morrisons gonna steal the show from them. I heard a totally made up rumour by me that he will appear in a special advert spruiking chocolate chunks with an all new coal flavour.

Tagline:

"Its coal flavoured! Don't be scared, don't be frightened."

Oh yeah, i suppose theres gradients of how bad needles can be. I remember a scan where they injected ink into me, that was horrible. I could feel the difference in temperature as it spread through my body.

A rather late in the week thread for discussing the wild, whacky and utterly mundane of life in our isolated corner of the planet.

 

Desflurane is a commonly used inhalational general anaesthetic agent, and it is also a potent greenhouse gas, with a global warming potential 2540 times that of carbon dioxide (CO2).

Following support from WATAG and the Western Australian Drug Evaluation Panel (WADEP), desflurane was delisted from the WA SMF in August 2023

Special thanks to @[email protected] our resident electoral commisioner for implementing an Instant run-off Vote (IRV) similar to the Australian electoral system for Aussie Zone Lemmyvision 2 nominations.

A lot of strong songs were in contention for the Aussie Zone nomination this year. They're well worth a listen if anyones interested.

See here for the IRV explanantion and discussion on how Aussie Zone decided to vote this year.

See here for the List of Nominations, User's Nomination Ballots, and the full Results comment.

 

This is a gentle reminder to the Aussie Zone users to get your votes in today for our nomination for Lemmyvision 2 held by the good folks over at jlai.lu .

The link on this post should take you to the voting page, cast your vote as a comment as explained. If the way we're doing it is confusing, just do the best you can, and we'll try to deliver a free and fair election with whatever we get! ;)

Its been fun exploring Aussie music from the last year with everyone, head over to the folks at jlai.lu over the next week or so as the international songs start getting nominated!
