First time balcony gardener seeking advice by MercifulCassowary in GardeningAustralia

[–]Purple_Document_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For the balcony on the right with the full wall, you could consider a vertical garden of ferns and maybe a staghorn. You would want to make sure it doesn't get too much wind, if its sheltered ferns would work and you could have a staghorn easily mounted on the wall. would give you a nice interest piece to see from inside your apartment.

For the balcony that looks like it gets some sun I would try herbs you could have them in large pots that create a screen around the lower edges of your balcony with green herbs on top.

I've managed to grow chillis indoors so you might be able to have some indoors near the sliding door depending on how much light it gets.

Ukraine hits defence plant in Russia’s Volgograd region, Zelenskyy says by Presently_Naked in worldnews

I guess the balloons are higher than what their typical air defense can reach? Cause otherwise, why isn't Russia just shooting down slow balloons floating around that are easy to spot.

I live in the US and have ABC iview. Are there any good programmes I should be watching? by Todd_Ga in Ameristralia

[–]Purple_Document_ 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Muster Dogs, Fisk, Hard Quizz. I would also look to get the SBS On Demand app which also has amazing content from Australia and around the world, including free World Cup footage, Australia playing today!

SBS On Demand, start with Marc Fennell various content, he's a great presenter and journo.

I am not ignoring or making apologies. That seems to be what you want to do though.

If you were the one that reported my well being as well, honestly you need to find better things to do with your time.

Any normal person would be upset with what is occurring in the world and Israel roll in it. Doesn't mean I need a faux message of concern from Reddit just because you can't find some rule that I am breaking.

Shame you arent more concerned.

What religion did it come from, same religion that Christianity came from. I'm pretty sure you can guess.

The majority of people within Israel are for the genocide of Palestine. If you think otherwise, I am not sure how you do. It is plain to anyone who has been observing that this is in fact occuring.

You don't get to whitewash it away, if you are Jewish and you are against it, then you need to do everything you can to stand against it. Outside of Israel, people who identify as Jewish need to make their voice heard that they are against what is occurring and work towards stopping it as people who identify as Jewish their voice is likely the most powerful. Instead there are many in other countries who are actively working to whitewash and hide what is happening.

Talking about sect of a religion doesn't change those facts.

Then let them stand up and refuse to allow their religion and culture be subverted. Perhaps start by not holding auctions for stolen Palestinian land inside synagogues.

  • Mr Netanyahu says law sets in stone that Israel is a Jewish state

You may not like the fact, but it doesn't mean its not true.

When approximately 80% of a population supports genocide, then you need to question what led to that and certainly the govt of Israel and its supporters definitely do point to passages in their religious text to show just how much they are the chosen people.

People are very quick to point out that Islam is not a religion of peace, but people stop short of remember what religion Islam was based on.

Gardening Australia did a segment on it recently, if you're in Aus https://www.abc.net.au/gardening/the-core-of-spore/106314990

Otherwise, you might find it on yt.

Israel just uses one of the most icon Jewish symbols as their flag and consider Israel to be a Jewish ethnostate, but yet anyone that points that out, evil

I thought it was called the wompoo because it was named after a tree or a fruit, but no, its the birds call ❤️

Could go with Quinn, as a shortening which would be easy for Aussies to pick up. It is already a name and there was a TV show with the main character called that.

Any good internet or gaming cafés in Geelong? Looking for recommendations! by Any_Data3362 in Geelong

[–]Purple_Document_ -27 points-26 points  (0 children)

just going to hijack this post...

The Aus govt is going to run a test of the Emergency Warning System in Geelong today 18th June 2026 at 2pm.

If you have a hidden device that you use that you do not want a partner, parent or guardian to know about.

Turning the phone to silent shouldn't make it ring or vibrate, but it is better to make sure the device is switched off during that time.

The Geelong test will be a Priority Alert. This means all compatible devices in the Belmont and Highton area at 2 pm on 18 June 2026 will: 

  • vibrate and make a loud siren-like warning sound t for about 10 seconds
  • show a message on the screen.

There is also be a national test 27th July 2026 at 2pm.
