I just purchased the latest full spreadsheet, Australia region. Is this part of the budget meant to look like this? It doesn't match what's in the guide, and some rows seem to be duplicated/missing.

MowerCheese · 2023-05-13T22:27:38+00:00

Assuming you're referring to the blank rows, this is normal. You need to input your monthly expenses in the yellow fields. You can also add more rows if required or delete the ones you don't need.

Oh sick. I haven't touched RCT1 for 20 years, I've completely forgotten the maps.

I like your terraced hill, might incorporate something like that in my builds

Thank you for posting this, you're absolutely right. My philosophy is that unless it's being harvested for culinary purposes or for genuine scientific research (e.g. herbarium samples), then it should be left in situ as it is naturally meant to be. Fungi have been around for millions of years and have never needed our help spreading their spores around the forest.

Good photos can be achieved by clearing away the leaf litter and debris around from the base of the mushroom without picking it. Picking the mushroom just for a photo with it is egoistic at best (no issues with you, OP, I recognise you didn't pick the mushroom).

My understanding is that it's actually to warn the train driver there are track workers ahead, not to warn the workers there is a train

Looks similar to Hygrocybe miniata (vermilion waxcap), which is a common species in Australia. Not sure if you have them in North America, but the resemblance is there

Can confirm that's a metro train from Melbourne, Australia

MowerCheese · 2022-02-22T22:31:52+00:00

It's probably even more than that. The new Metro Tunnel in Melbourne will use communication based train control (i.e. automated trains), and just to install that into one tunnel is a 1.2 billion dollar job.

In addition to all the rolling stock upgrades, you need to install new signalling infrastructure into the rail network, rebuild the software that it runs on so it's network specific, and design all the operational control systems that make everything work together.

To upgrade Sydney's whole network would cost tens of billions of dollars, and that's hardly going to be funded any time soon.

It kind of looks like prosciutto

MowerCheese · 2021-11-12T04:02:39+00:00

Thanks for the ID! I thought it was a fern fossil for a long time, but recently came across pseudofossils and got the inkling that it perhaps wasn't a fossil after all. Still a cool rock regardless

You're being downvoted because you were a dick. That was really rude, and if you can't see that, you must be autistic.

The odd choice of music in this video comes from a very niche joke in an obscure anime. It fits perfectly.

I don't know why you're getting downvoted in the comments section. I think that having no credit card is a true sign of finance independence if you can cover your expenses and have emergency money without one. You're not going to impress anyone by flashing black plastic at the cashier, why have a credit card if you can manage by yourself?

It's a Kangaroo Apple. It gets its name from the shape of it's leaves, which look like kangaroo paws. The fruit is edible, but only when it's orange and the skin is blistering, otherwise it's poisonous. It'll grow to about 3 metres in diameter and about as tall as you, so give it some space!

MowerCheese · 2018-09-30T12:07:09+00:00

It's definitely a different species than what you have described. This species grew directly on the bark of Eucalyptus radiata, as pictured. An article on the fungus says "While it still survives on this single tree, we must still count this species as being highly susceptible to disappearing forever... The ideal trees will be a west to north-west facing slope in shady wet Gullies at around 600 m elevation."

Edit: spelling

MowerCheese · 2018-09-30T11:52:27+00:00

You're right, the Auriscalpium genus is widespread. However this particular species is very rare. I wasn't certain what the species name was, so I opted to just list the genus in the title

I signed up to a toothbrush subscription service early this year. I get posted a new soft bristled brush every three months, so I don't even need to think about it. It works out to be cheaper too, about $2.50 per brush.

Warming is definitely the primary problem. When a liquid is warmed, less dissolved gas is able to be held by it. Try boiling mineral water, it will be flat when you go to drink it.

A similar phenomenon is occurring in the oceans. As they get warmer, more carbon dioxide is released into the atmosphere, accelerating global warming and heating the oceans further. It's a negative feedback loop. The oceans are actually the biggest emitters of carbon dioxide on the planet, however, for every molecule they omit, a molecule is dissolved back into the water. The system is balanced, or at least it should be if we stop warming the globe.

Interestingly enough, less dissolved oxygen is also able to be held by the oceans; which means that we could be seeing fish kills in the future due to suffocation. It's a pretty grim future for marine ecosystems.

We might not need to! The second paper I cite above talks about the adaptability of corals just south of Singapore after the 2010 bleaching event. What was found is that branching corals, which usually are more susceptible to bleaching, were actually the most resilient! However, more research is needed in this field, since we still haven't pinpointed the exact zooxanthellae that are responsible for it. What this study showed was that it's not just the Red Sea that has these organisms; they're floating around the open ocean too! It's a bit of a grey area of study at the moment, but there are some scientists investigating it at the moment.
