How awful! That would have been so frightening, I hope you are doing ok.

Maybe? At lunch she told them she had cancer. That’s a big fat lie too, maybe she wanted them to feel sorry for her and give her attention. But they can’t do that if they are dead, so who knows? She probably didn’t think that far. None of her story is cohesive enough to make me think she had some genius plan. Maybe in her head, making them feel sorry for her and then suffering a slow death pleased her, and that’s as far as her logic went.

I was today years old when I first tried Marmite. It’s milder than Vegemite, and almost seemed a bit sweeter? Possibly less salty? I didn’t mind it, but will be sticking with Vegemite for the stronger flavour I’m used to.

Maybe it’s overdose from drugs?

I much preferred the old days where you just paid for a game and there were no adds and no in-game purchases. Twas the golden era of cheap entertainment.

Finished watching The Last of Us season 2. I didn’t like it.

spoilerI haven’t played the games, so have no preconception of what the show should be like. I didn’t like the main character developing into an even more dislikable person than season 1. Yes yes, not all characters need to be likeable and I get the whole anti-hero thing adds complexity to a storyline, but it was too much. I was just constantly annoyed by her, and constantly annoyed that everyone pandered to her. For someone to be an anti-hero they need redeeming features. I struggled to see any. And the big shock in episode 2 where the character I liked most was killed off, it left me disappointed because I thought he was the best part of the show. The whole thing was just one long string of miserable fallout due to an arrogant self-indulgent persons actions. The end.

I’m really sad to hear Magda Szubanskis cancer diagnosis. I have had very many belly laughs from her comedy talents over the years. And she seems like a genuinely great person. I hope she can make it through.

I noticed some red leaves on a maple today, maybe the colours turning has been late because we had such a warm sunny April.

So sorry to hear, such a difficult life event. Hopefully things can continue as amicably as possible, and when the dust settles the healing begins. It can take time, let your emotions take their course.

An early good morning to all. Just want to let you know I really appreciate this place. The banter, support, friendly advice, cute animal pics, all of it. It really is a wholesome corner of the internet. May you all have a superb weekend.

Rat control (aussie.zone)
submitted 1 year ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

This year I grew tomatoes, and found rats are stealing them. I am certain it’s rats because I have seen them. Have tried netting the tomato plants, but rats found ways in. Called an exterminator to bait in the roof and under house. Feel ambivalent about it, because if a predator bird takes an affected rat it may get ill. But I’m located deep in suburbia and have never seen an owl or eagle so I think it’s unlikely. Didn’t work though, still have rats. Have given up on the tomatoes, plants are destroyed. What are your strategies for ridding yourself of ratty pestilences?

Was this meant to be a get-off-my-turf micro aggression that could later be denied if needed by saying it was an accident? But also, if the sonar can injure people, what does it to to whales or fish?

The constitution has special legal status in Australia. Parliament cannot alter it the way they can normal laws. The constitution can only be changed by a referendum - which is vote by the whole nation. What parliament is allowed to do (not Albo individually, but by majority vote in parliament), is make laws under the constitution. So yes, parliament could pass a law that creates a voice. But the next government could then pass a law that cancels the voice. And so on. The idea of putting in the constitution was so that it would have more staying power. If it was in the constitution it could still be removed, but only by another referendum, because as per point A, constitution can only be changed by a referendum.

Looking for inspiration. Which Australian food sites, bloggers, youtube, social media do you frequent? The places you go for ideas and recipes. I love Nagi (recipe tin eats), and occasionally browse Taste and SBS food. What are some others to look at?
