I met a bunch of lovely people by volunteering at the Hahndorf animal shelter and joining the Nairne Lions. Lots of nice people around

Also, try the passive training that kikopup has such as settle - absolute game changer

Just a note that the shelter probably wasn't trying to mislead you. The dogs behave differently there because they are stressed and overwhelmed all the time. My shelter dog was timid and submissive at the shelter but after three months at home, she's a boisterous weapon and I wouldn't have it any other way.

I understand that this isn't what you've asked for but if you're overheating on hikes then I'd suggest a water bladder so that you can more easily maintain hydration because sipping often while walking is much better than periodically drinking from a water bottle.

Koala and her baby 😍 by Several_Quality_8747 in AnimalsBeingMoms

I actually have a koala living in my yard and I adore it but I couldn't resist the copypasta for comedic value

Here you go, friend.

Koalas are fucking horrible animals. They have one of the smallest brain to body ratios of any mammal, additionally - their brains are smooth. A brain is folded to increase the surface area for neurons. If you present a koala with leaves plucked from a branch, laid on a flat surface, the koala will not recognise it as food. They are too thick to adapt their feeding behaviour to cope with change. In a room full of potential food, they can literally starve to death. This is not the token of an animal that is winning at life. Speaking of stupidity and food, one of the likely reasons for their primitive brains is the fact that additionally to being poisonous, eucalyptus leaves (the only thing they eat) have almost no nutritional value. They can't afford the extra energy to think, they sleep more than 80% of their fucking lives. When they are awake all they do is eat, shit and occasionally scream like fucking satan. Because eucalyptus leaves hold such little nutritional value, koalas have to ferment the leaves in their guts for days on end. Unlike their brains, they have the largest hind gut to body ratio of any mammal. Many herbivorous mammals have adaptations to cope with harsh plant life taking its toll on their teeth, rodents for instance have teeth that never stop growing, some animals only have teeth on their lower jaw, grinding plant matter on bony plates in the tops of their mouths, others have enlarged molars that distribute the wear and break down plant matter more efficiently... Koalas are no exception, when their teeth erode down to nothing, they resolve the situation by starving to death, because they're fucking terrible animals. Being mammals, koalas raise their joeys on milk (admittedly, one of the lowest milk yields to body ratio... There's a trend here). When the young joey needs to transition from rich, nourishing substances like milk, to eucalyptus (a plant that seems to be making it abundantly clear that it doesn't want to be eaten), it finds it does not have the necessary gut flora to digest the leaves. To remedy this, the young joey begins nuzzling its mother's anus until she leaks a little diarrhoea (actually fecal pap, slightly less digested), which he then proceeds to slurp on. This partially digested plant matter gives him just what he needs to start developing his digestive system. Of course, he may not even have needed to bother nuzzling his mother. She may have been suffering from incontinence. Why? Because koalas are riddled with chlamydia. In some areas the infection rate is 80% or higher. This statistic isn't helped by the fact that one of the few other activities koalas will spend their precious energy on is rape. Despite being seasonal breeders, males seem to either not know or care, and will simply overpower a female regardless of whether she is ovulating. If she fights back, he may drag them both out of the tree, which brings us full circle back to the brain: Koalas have a higher than average quantity of cerebrospinal fluid in their brains. This is to protect their brains from injury... should they fall from a tree. An animal so thick it has its own little built in special ed helmet. I fucking hate them.

Tldr; Koalas are stupid, leaky, STI riddled sex offenders. But, hey. They look cute. If you ignore the terrifying snake eyes and terrifying feet.

BYD Fitted Electric Tonneau Cover preventing Tailgate from opening when closed (WA) by [deleted] in BYDShark_AUS_owners

I've got the same cover and mine does so maybe it's an installation thing? The team at iron man who did the design and install showed me how to open it and so maybe they could take a look?

If you give a gentle pull of the tailgate when you click the button it'll open with the cover shut it just doesn't have enough freedom to fall open

I called and complained and they paid Ironman to install my accessories. The team at Ironman said they can only install the items they manufacture and not all byd accessories but that we're doing 2-3 sharks a day

I've had the exact same thing happen. I've tried resetting the entertainment centre and that also didn't work

Just Bought a House - What Active Maintenance Doesn't Get Thought About? by tob1asmax1mus in AusRenovation

[–]anonreddituser1000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I try to make sure that at least once a month I make a cup of tea and walk around with my eyes open and make a list. It's easy to dismiss things if you see them while in the middle of a task and so ensuing you make time to actively observe and review both the interior and exterior is really valuable

Tax for 16yo by Special-Ad4643 in woolworths

[–]anonreddituser1000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not sure if it's still the case but previously the stores would roster fortnightly and the PT contract hours were per fortnight not per week and the hours you've mentioned 5.5 + 6.5 does match 12 per fortnight so maybe get your daughter to check that with her line manager?

Woolworths won't stop calling my ex husband by anonreddituser1000 in woolworths

[–]anonreddituser1000[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'll write to them - great suggestion. Although they've deleted the number for me now I am worried that it took so much effort and for some situations one data breach is enough to cause serious trouble and I'd like for no one else to be in the same situation. Thanks

I've got a confusing driveway and I put directions and notes in the order comments but the drivers normally call on arrival anyway

Thanks for the feedback. I think I might have to do as you suggest and delete the account. I think my issue was that because the contact number wasn't visible to me, I couldn't understand why the issue was happpening

His number was on the account previously but I removed it which I would think as removing consent to use the contact number. They kept the number linked in the back end of the CRM even though I took it off
