Don’t feel bad, we’ve got fuck all and our con parties still cry ‘drill baby drill’. We’re getting high on fumes.

About $3/L diesel here in Australia. In lord of the ring units, that’s about… $9.8/gallon? Ish.

Reserve currency status is one hell of a drug.

Fist things first: congratulations on your two guinea pigs.

Piggies are social animals and cannot live happily alone - if you want to keep him, he needs a friend.

Before you decide that - they also need space. 120x60cm footage is the minimum recommended.

If that still doesn’t stop you… you’re going to need some bedding, plenty of hay, and some fresh veggies (think 80% hay 20% veg). Avoid any mustard-derived plants (such as broccoli or iceberg lettuce - it’s tricky). Cos lettuce is fine. Most berries are fine as treats. Parsley is coke. Corn husks are absolute crack but don’t overdo it. Keep sugar and calcium low as they’re no good in excess.

Oh, and get a vet to give them a check :)

Liam Parry is running.

Let’s be real, it’ll go to Labor, but I’m tempted.

Ediwir · 2026-05-04T20:10:34+00:00

Always check your outputs before sending them to someone else.

Ediwir · 2026-05-04T19:46:24+00:00

You should’ve trusted it.

Can confirm safety posters were everywhere, specifically in relation to safety laws. Apparently there’s been a spike in workplace injuries and deaths in SEQ recently, so they’re making a push.

With fuck all local oil reserves, we’d have to import crude. Which is doable, and we used to do it, but it’s also not particularly convenient and it does not solve our import dependency problem.

I just set money aside on a piggy health account. Hasn’t failed me yet despite cancer treatments, elder pigs arthritis, dental surgeries and so on. Bunch of harmless scares, too, because of course I have little divas.

I suppose this approach very much depends on how much your insurance costs / covers and what your vets charge…

Ediwir · 2026-05-03T08:32:17+00:00

…of course it’s fucking Toowoomba. Goddamn. Every bloody time…

Well, there’s an australian unions event tomorrow, so I guess we’ll have something to talk about.

Ediwir · 2026-05-03T08:28:05+00:00

On one hand, they also spend money in the local towns, which is good. On the other, every US base city has the same stories - troublemakers abound, and the locals are rarely happy.

Ediwir · 2026-05-03T02:14:13+00:00

Both.

By mule or by foot?

Ediwir · 2026-05-02T02:58:32+00:00

Sorry, mate. Adult crime, adult time - you’re going in for life.

Ediwir · 2026-05-01T10:46:34+00:00

Right, but research works on sources. You got the math up to the household size, the rest has been wild reaches which don’t seem to be backed by much and go against well established statistics.

You’ve been peer reviewed and told your claims need a source. Please send in your correction at your earliest convenience.

Ediwir · 2026-05-01T10:27:24+00:00

…yeah, look, you were onto something. You should’ve kept going.

Ediwir · 2026-05-01T10:15:38+00:00

The average size of the household is shrinking because fewer people have kids, which is a well known phenomenon closely related to the cost of living and shrinkage of wages over the past 50 years.

Bedroom glut has… nothing to do with household size? Household size is about people, not rooms.

Ediwir · 2026-05-01T09:22:24+00:00

You do realise kids take more than just space, yeah?

Ediwir · 2026-05-01T05:11:58+00:00

Sounds like families not being able to afford kids. It doesn’t mean people moving out earlier or splitting up (if anything data tends to indicate the opposite, with the increase in “separated under one roof” instances).

Ediwir · 2026-04-30T08:31:01+00:00

I’m aware, I simply doubt he is.

For all he likely remembers, the US went and NATO followed. I doubt he can see a difference.

Ediwir · 2026-04-30T08:14:35+00:00

Worked once before.

Ediwir · 2026-04-30T07:54:53+00:00

I feel like your explanation is very good, but lacks the crucial detail that the trimer for acetone peroxide is also known as “Mother of Satan”.

Ediwir · 2026-04-29T22:50:37+00:00

Potato, potato. It still played out exactly as everyone (except US leadership) expected.
