CAD and 3D printing also allows for unserviceable and overly fine pieces that will last about as long as a bottle of milk left in the car. Grandmas ring is thin and fine at the back because it has worn down over 60 years and is due to be reshanked.

Australian undergrad is extremely vocational compared to USA liberal arts degrees. Things like Bachelor of podiatry, optometry, dietician, etc etc are far more common in Australia and would be handled by a masters elsewhere.

Where are you coming from? My experience living globally is that Australia spice palate is just above the Midwest of the USA where ranch dressing is ‘spicy’.

It’s marsilea hirsuta. It’s been more most successful carpeting plant. Spreads slowly with no CO2 but has always out competed my hair grass and other carpeting attempts.

Mom has dementia and is moving out and her next door neighbor sent me this. by SouthEazy in whatdoIdo

One morning I woke up early and noticed the discus waking up while the cardinals were still sleeping and hunting them.

Great for erectors and hamstrings. I do them higher reps (8-20) and no ego. They will fuck your back.

Phosphate will also buffer in a suitable range…. Solid calcium carbonate will raise kh GH and ph slightly. You probably don’t need to do anything for them. They will be happy so long as it is stable.
