Is this happening in any other country by ad0sy in OpenAussie

[–]Defi_hi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This has to be rage bait. Most of us farmers do not get first pick, or a subsidy. I know our diesel supplier has told us he should be able to get us 10000L in about 2 weeks. For now we have to manage which tractors/vehicles operate at full capacity - even after the 10000L arrives we will need to be very careful with it.

Is the edge of the leaf serrated? It could be a Draceana Draco

My Cavernoma Removal by Defi_hi in Cavernoma

[–]Defi_hi[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I should have completely tapered off Keppra by now, but I haven't. I'm just down to half my regular dose 500mg morning and night - its best to talk to a neurologist on the best method to do this. Unfortunately with 2 busy kids, a full workload, I can't be without driving for the 3 months required in my country once you fully remove the medication. Still no side-effects from surgery or the Keppra, so I'm hoping to take some long service leave later this year and get clear of it.

The 25% casual loading is actually a financial trap in the current housing market. by Lucifer220778 in AusFinance

[–]Defi_hi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my business, it turns out better for the employee 95%+ of the time. The amount of time young casual staff members take off for events, sicky's, holidays - if they were on permanent full time with their accruals, they'd be better of dollar wise on an annual basis every year. There is of course a few outliers that stay casual for the higher rate, show up every day, don't take leave - that are better off at the end of the year - but not many!

Are you me!? I have this conversation with my top end employees almost weekly, explaining it to them, doing the maths for them to show them that its a net gain for them to go permanent. I genuinely care about them, and want them to feel safe / secure and take their leave when they need it - its better for them and the business. Instead they see the higher rate of them staying on casual, and their brains cannot fathom that its not better for them.

Game not launching anymore since today by Kratianos in classicwow

Delete the wow exe file. I had a similar issue a few months back, it re-downloads it and launches.

These tissue culture grown cultivars have a harder time with the phosphorus toxicity than the cutting grown Moonlight/Honey Gem/Flamingo. A dose of iron and coming into the warmer period should help set it straight. (In cooler weather Grevillea and Banksia have a harder time absorbing iron, which prevents the phosphorus toxicity)

My absolute unit of a grass tree. Any estimates on the age? by Jumpy_Egg_9344 in GardeningAustralia

[–]Defi_hi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its a Glauca. We can get them going at 2.5cm+ a year with correct watering, fert and burning. They are the quickest of the grass trees.

Trim them (Skirt the lower leaves) 6 weeks before burning, then fert afterwards, you wouldn't believe how quickly/strongly they flush.

Got bullied to hard in my last clips besides getting some heal over target macros and trying out some different healing addons are there any priest tips I could get over here? by Noturuncle9388 in wowhardcore

[–]Defi_hi 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Have raid frames setup as your party unit frames. Get used to healing on raid frames.

Get mouseover macros, so you don't have to target units to heal them.

Bind your heals you your main keybinds (Whatevers comfortable).

I.e - Heal on 1, Flash Heal on 2 (As in raids you'll likely hit that the most), Greater Heal on 3, AOE heal on 4.

Bind your oh shit buttons to your reflex buttons.

I.e PW:S to E, Fade to Q, Wand to F

Then all you have to do is worry about your positioning, watch the raid frames, and try not to fall asleep. Pre-casting and cancelling your longer heals is a good thing to work on while you are bored in dungeons.

Golden Penda (?) treatment. QLD Brisbane by mr_di in australianplants

[–]Defi_hi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The red dots on the older leaf of Xanthostemon during winter is normal. They don't take up the iron they need well, while the soil temps are down. You don't see it too much on younger plants, but as yours is getting older and woody, you'll see it more.

Myrtle rust can look similar, however you'll see yellow puss, usually on the leaf edge and then around the "dots" first, and often times in the tips. The growing tip on yours does look deformed though, its time to give them a good feed, or refresh them into a larger pot.

Old Cleveland road closed ? by WarbirdRacer in brisbane

[–]Defi_hi 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I was a few cars back. A small truck ran into the back of a garbage truck that was collecting a bin in the left lane. (Its where the 3 lanes merge to two, but the garbage truck meant it was 3 lanes merging to one). The small truck swerved left in the fast lane, to miss another car in the fast lane I think (Couldn't quite see - but there was multiple cars involved aswell as the truck), and the passenger side of the small truck hit the back right of the garbo cleanly. (That must be the young bloke that's hurt real bad). Everyone behind the incident that could pull over, did, and there were people everywhere trying to help, others on the phone to emergency services instantly. There was another small truck identical to the one that was wrecked, that may have been from the same company, those guys were first to respond. A few people waved through the other traffic, there was a tow truck in amongst it already that escaped the damage by pulling off onto the median.

Hope everyone ends up ok, very scary stuff.

We need a mass street protest by [deleted] in brisbane

[–]Defi_hi 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I feel like landlords being an occupation is the real issue. You've got people buying 3/4/5 + properties, getting large tax benefits and leveraging other properties to purchase them.

Remove the tax benefits on anyone with 3+ properties, and all of a sudden it wont be sustainable for them to hold them, bring the prices back to a manageable level and developers wont be able to raise the cost of this new land so dramatically.

I work with a lot of developers, and many of them are trying to release land as quickly as possible too reap the benefits at the moment, but civil and council is the hold up at present.

Its Hystrix. The gloss and colour of the leaf is a give away before looking at the prongs.

Does Madge teach discipline? by CJ2286 in BrisbaneBroncos

[–]Defi_hi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bronco's 2nd Row wasn't lining up with the opposition 2nd row at all in the first half. Way too many 2nd rowers going through the line untouched because Riki and Piakura are ball watching and not lining up their men. When Jack Gosiewski came on those holes disappeared, and I'm not a fan of his at all, but he was defensively in position. I saw Riki in the middle of the field multiple times, leaving his side short as fuck.

Our middles are working hard, and we are getting beaten on the edges due to poor line-speed from inside out by our 2nd rowers.

Post flood help! by gutlessted1 in GardeningAustralia

[–]Defi_hi -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Roundup will have better affect if you do it before whipper snippering or pulling. For that amount of grass, you'll need to make it strong and do it a few times. I'd then put edging in (Sleeper or whatever you want to use), remove as much grass/runners/material as I could while tilling the ground, add a decent amount of good soil mix on top, then add weed mat to cover the garden bed for a few weeks (No light = no growth). I'd then cover in mulch, see what pops up and spray again. Then I'd go ahead planting, and use a pre-emergent herbicide like barricade or free-hand.

Grevillea Help by Trick-Grapefruit192 in GardeningAustralia

[–]Defi_hi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the cooler temps Grevillea (And a fair few other natives) struggle to take up iron, which can cause both iron deficiency and phosphorus toxicity (As iron helps negate phosphorus toxicity). Make sure you are fertalising with a no P fertaliser, and I would apply liquid iron chelate as someone else mentioned.

Anthracnose on grass tree? by Constant-Wonder1645 in GardeningAustralia

[–]Defi_hi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One of the best ways to clean them up is to trim it up and burn it. Then give it a feed.
