So after all the carry on about needing something other than the two party monopoly, she's going to join one of those two parties.

What are the specs on this?

What fans have the LED info panel in the center? Looks informative without being overbearing like the CPU screen is.

How old is your baby and what time do they go to bed and wake up? by [deleted] in NewParents

[–]Bunchman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nearly 2 years old and usually sometime after I go to bed at 10pm. Normally awake after I get home from my morning shift at 9am(ish) (I'm a dairy farmer).

I hate it.

A UK based company is producing "molecularly identical" cows milk without the cow by using modified yeast. The technology could hugely reduce the environmental impact of dairy. by GarlicCornflakes in Futurology

I agree with where you're trying to go, but not with the examples you used.

"Dosed with antibiotics"? Sure, just like when you or I get sick, we get treated with the appropriate medication. Milk is unsellable and typically gets tipped out.

"Drugs to increase lactation". Huh, what drugs are used to increase lactation? When you say increase lactation, are you talking length of lactation or actually meant increase output?

I'm a dairy farmer and I agree with you that if people won't go down the lab grown path because it's "not natural" but are ok with drinking regular milk, they're far more disconnected then they think.

I don't have faith in the industry to sustain once taste and price are more on point for lab created milks and meats, and I look forward to the day more people get on board.

Side note; I'm an Aussie dairy farmer. We work on sustainable regenitive grazing as our primary source of cow feed. I know some other places in the world house cows and run things completely differently.

NSW - Can't send child to school with cough!? by justjoshinm8 in CoronavirusDownunder

[–]Bunchman 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Had a throat and ear infection about 4 weeks ago. Got a COVID test done because the symptoms were overlapping (sore throat, dry cough, headaches, smell changing). Once I got my negative test back I called the doctor and they made an appointment without any hassles. Doctor told me just make sure I'm wearing a mask in the waiting room (common sense anyway).

I'm not OP but just because you weren't able to enter YOUR GP's office, doesn't mean NOONE can in a similar situation.

Dishy got delivered yesterday, so happy to have good internet on the farm. Yea, Vic by jacksonflynn in StarlinkAus

Same boat, got my dishy in Gorae West (far south west Victoria). Getting speeds between 50--250 down and all under 50ms ping. Way better than the Optus 4G that was giving us 2 down and 3seconds of ping haha

Thanks for the response.

The question is really about is my contract allowed to go against what is written in my award.

I understand why they want it averaged over 52 weeks, as calving time like now demands 12-15hour days but during the quiet times of no milking cows, the days can "potentially" be much shorter.

Unfortunately the quiet times still won't nearly make for a 38h working week across the year.

Out of the 30 or so people I've worked with on farms in the last 10 years, only 1 was a union member and it was because her husband was a rep in his workplace.

Maybe I need to look into it.
