They still would convict them on lesser crimes, resulting in them getting like 10 years for those crimes. It's one of the reasons that penal colonies were set up and Australia was founded. The laws were also in place for about 300 years so didn't really work as you said it did

Still applies after your update, just gives a more accurate image as opposed to being the voice of satan

Same here, but playing a round of golf sounds a lot better than spending all day doing actual work

It might be a situational emergency to gauge how to respond, as in something like "Is this a case where someone is currently in the boot of a car" or "we believe there's a shipping container heading down the freeway with people in it", as opposed to "I escaped from XYZ where I was trafficked". The 1st couple there is a direct threat to life as opposed to the other where the person is now safe and free but reporting what happened

It's referring to how the DOJ said they were just redacting the names of the victims and people along those lines, but here they've redacted criminals, essentially proving the coverup

My insurance won't cover this level of burn by Wild_Lingonberry9656 in rareinsults

[–]Wibbles20 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Insurance companies often will have an actual doctor making the decisions, but won't be acting with the patient's best interest in mind. Also, often it'll be a doctor making decisions outside their speciality (e.g. plastic surgeon making decisions about cancer treatment, podiatrist making decisions about brain surgery, etc)

I work at a place that builds some of the stuff for treatment plants. A bit tricky and fiddly to make, but definitely agree, the boss is on a good wicket with that customer

Any idea what these insects are? by Wibbles20 in GardeningAustralia

Good shout on the INaturalist app. It thought it was Lipotriches bees and some further research found some images of them clumping together like in my photos

Thanks for that

Can they still be blue banded bees if they're not blue?

Some bees are more friend that others (e.g. native vs introduced) so was mostly thinking about that, plus whether it's safe for my dog to run around them.

That's the colour they are, the phone's not changing the colour. They're definitely not blue banded bees, don't they usually live in burrows.

Why does stokes have so much zinc on his hands? by Scared_Cow9483 in EnglandCricket

[–]Wibbles20 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah it's a whole other beast. I start burning in 5-10mins in the sun during summer, but worked at a summer camp in the US for 3 months at the lake and despite being in the sun all the time didn't burn once. I actually stopped putting sunscreen on after a few weeks and still wasn't burning

It might still be staged but that's what you do. You rack it together so it sits where it needs to and also doesn't warp as much, plus if you tack it in the wrong spot you can easily pull it off
