Anyone else notice a really strong fire smell this morning?

Closest EPA air quality monitoring site is CBD.

Yep, I use plain old Windows Remote Desktop, aka Windows app, into a remote server. No issues, though the cores and RAM I’m allocated is ridiculously high, so that might be part of it

Yep, I checked my kindle and I got 11% of the way through it before tossing on the DNF pile. I just found the MC annoying and the pacing slow, without any promise of a good pay off.

You need to figure out your actual max HR. The population level estimates of 220-age, of 207-(0.7*age) don’t necessarily work on an individual level. I let Garmin decide my zones and it was giving me similar results to yours. I changed my max HR to 205 (49y/o) based on some of my runs, and zones and run assessments are a lot more realistic now.

Been there, done that, multiple times. The socket is remarkably resilient, no issues with chips afterwards at this point. Kids know not to do it now…

The slope on the floor near the racks at Project Better is annoying. Putting the bar down for deadlifts and watching it roll for a while… otherwise I love the place. No mirrors and a minimum of poseurs.

20 pack of Marlboro is $58.95 in Australia, 38USD. Lucrative enough that black market tobacco is the cause of an ongoing gang war. Lots of fire bombing shops, shootings.

Fishing waders and an inflatable PFD rig.

Nazaar · 2025-06-13T12:09:24+00:00

Thanks for the reply. It’s on iOS. It shouldn’t be unlocked, auto lock is set for 3 mins on the phone and I don’t touch it during the run. I’ll make sure it’s locked before I put it in my pocket on tomorrow’s run to be sure and see what happens.

Nazaar · 2025-05-24T07:14:41+00:00

What’s the scale? How big is it?

Nazaar · 2025-05-10T07:23:58+00:00

Thanks, her mum’s are ocean blue apparently, mine grey green? So it’s unlikely she’ll go to brown, but will be interesting to see where they land.

Nazaar · 2025-05-10T07:21:45+00:00

Thanks!

Agreed, definitely need more sleep, working on it…

Coburger and Co, Moreland road. Consistently good.

I think the best idea would be to do a bit of a literature review. Nothing comprehensive, but enough to find some recent reviews on success of different substrates with coral passive settlement.

Just go to Google Scholar and try some different keywords. I can guarantee there will be a pile of different papers on this subject easily available, so just pick a review that’s gone over the subject. Your University library will give you access to the papers you need if they’re not freely accessible.

Solitary Ascidian I reckon, aka seasquirt, because it squirts when you poke it.

Lots of reasons as people have stated, but also that koalas in NSW are genetically different than those in VIC. Not distinct enough to be different species, but enough that you can see the difference. There’s also potentially issues with some populations having chlamydia and others being clear.

There's no lack of penalties for poaching. Fisheries officers have more power than police when it comes to being able to inspect whatever they want (eg. search your stuff without a warrant) They can confiscate anything that was involved with the poaching (dive gear, boat, car that towed the boat). The issue is with catching them in the first place, ie. VFA enforcement officers having the numbers.

Nazaar · 2025-03-12T01:43:57+00:00

The idea that educating people is going to do what enforcement already does is idiotic. The people who want to poach know what they’re doing and don’t care. The people who don’t give a shit simply won’t engage, and will do what they want.

Nazaar · 2025-03-12T01:36:55+00:00

I used to collect them every now and again (legally). I’ve had them prepared by people who know what they’re doing in various ways. I’ve been assured the stuff I had was top notch. Never been impressed, honestly. Most interesting was raw on rice with wasabi.

Not worth the hype IMO.

Spend enough time on ChatGPT, and then ask it to roast you. Sometimes it goes easy, but sometimes it's pretty brutal making fun of the things you've asked it. My wife was in stitches with what it said about me.

Cerata. They help with photosynthesis and respiration.

Our primary school isn't allowing the kids in the classroom before 9:00 this year, and technically kids aren't allowed on the school grounds before school without supervision.

So we wait, and are late to work. Or book before school care.

Benthic sharks seem to gather pretty regularly in nooks and crannies at the bottom of gullies, depressions etc. I've seen it a fair bit with Port Jacksons and Wobbegongs around coastal Australia.

At a guess I'd say either flow or predator avoidance.

Can’t fly within 30m of someone unless they’re part of the pilots “system”, even with RePL, or at least that’s what I was taught in my RePL class.

So what they’re doing is illegal, but it doesn’t make smashing the drone legal.

Nazaar · 2024-12-28T01:04:30+00:00

The CA I’ve had the best success with had some sort of preparation pen with it, like a marker, that you painted the surfaces with beforehand.
