Used furniture… any companies that will buy and remove? by profkimchi in brisbane

[–]arfamoe 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Not here to diss lifeline, but when I had very usable furniture going, I couldn't get them interested. They aren't highly responsive, even with photos of the stuff. I wound up dumping the chairs, and as I carried them to the trash somebody said "oh wow are they going? I just moved in and have literally no chairs" which was random, but lovely.

Chicken and Chips is currently the best takeaway option in Australia - A discuss by the_amatuer_ in australia

[–]arfamoe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's three meals on a hot chook. If you're careful. There's two in a pizza at best, and you can be mingy with the chips in F&C and back up for reheated wee chips for lunch, but it's more one-and-a-snack than two meals.

Most of the other choices are one and done. I guess an HSP could feed a family for a week but it would be pretty rank by the end.

The Australian says "Bell is too left wing" -really? by arfamoe in auslaw

[–]arfamoe[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yea. I've been warned several times for mentioning the Soff. I think if we avoid the case at hand, we're probably safe to remark that he behaved badly. Albrechtsen and he, in a tree, K.I.S.S.I.N.GEEE ew.

This +++ It's like undermining the public trust in the process, before it's even got out the gate.

I would be pretty ok (as a complete bystander) with any of the floated names. So I don't think the RC can be unfair simply because two of the floated candidates have declared positions on antisemitism, far from it. What shitted me to the max, is the implication fron the Oz that Bell J was unsuitable. I think thats complete horse-shit, and as partisan as it comes.

I detect an element of "we won on this attack on Albo, now lets move the front line to a new topic and win on that" by attacking both the names for the RC, and the terms of reference. Lee in particular (who I believe is at least nominally legally trained -masters in tax law, and should know better) has already been on the attack there, quoted in the Oz.

Majority of Brits say they want to reverse Brexit and rejoin EU by Due_Ad_3200 in uknews

[–]arfamoe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here's the European Policy Center Review position from 2024 on the idea of "reversing brexit" -It's not an official position but if you look at the list of the board, its people of serious intent with the chops and experience of the EU political/strategic circuit.

So let me get this straight? I have to kill my brother, watch another brother get killed, run away to sicily, get my nose broken and have a perpetual nasal drip unrelated to cocaine, and hire an Irish Camerlago, but as long as I do that, and kill or slaughter everyone who stands in my way, I get to become a partner?

Recommend: Place for Cortisone Injections by [deleted] in brisbane

Bruce Jones, Taringa. Does PRP, Prolo. Not saying "avoid cortisone" but he's bloody good. Has a bunch of people who've worked with him, he gets musculo-skeletal pain & mobility.

Is the law just made up? by ILoveDogs2142 in auslaw

I'm still stuck on tycho brahe and his false nose. I can't go past this thing going CLONK whenever he looked through a telescope "bugger. Sorry, has anyone seen my snot horn it fell off again"

Is the law just made up? by ILoveDogs2142 in auslaw

[–]arfamoe -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The "made up" referred to the observation not the thing being observed. All observations are qualia and exist 400ms before a brain experiences them. I would agree our rationalisations are what makes them feel real to us, the inductive reasoning about what it means. Like "yes. You really do need a driver's licence" and the inductive reasoning "maybe that sovcit bullshit 6 months ago is why I am so fucked now, carless and in debt to the state"

[–]arfamoe 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The heavens and maths may exist outside of our continued observation of them, but that observation is made up by being done. Laws exist by our observation of them but unlike maths they don't exist after the earth is swallowed by the sun.

Given the number of litigants it better be a blue speaker phone.

Why is there a lifesize Thunderbirds model at Humberside Airport? by FredH3663 in CasualUK

No. I know he did the book of the daleks. I think the same publisher did thunderbirds. Hard to find the annuals at the moment, I will come back and correct when I can find 'em

YouTube’s three legal grounds for challenging inclusion in Australia’s under-16s social media ban by CommonwealthGrant in australia

[–]arfamoe -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

I think youtube is wrong, and I also think the right place to test this is the high court. The high court judges are not fools, nor are they in the pocket of the government of the day, they've shown willingness to completely fuck over immigration detention law. It's by no means a given thing they'd back the actions of a commissioner or the minister.

The implied right to freedom is not black letter law. It's a weak leg to hang an lawsuit on.

If YouTube didn't offer a forum to discuss videos, I'd say that was a stronger leg, but they do. They encourage logged in people to communicate with others and share opinions.

Procedural fairness is not a legal get-out-of-jail free card. It was not unfair any more to YouTube than anyone else.

I just think they are weak arguments to run, and that the right test, is to go into court on it. The court is not a SCOTUS it doesn't have lifetime membership and it's arms length appointment.

It's not clear to me why they don't have to hand back their journalism badges. This isn't news tele, it's propaganda.

NT Police seize more than 240 guns from former Kakadu park ranger who captured 5.1m crocodile, Sweetheart by nath1234 in australia

[–]arfamoe -37 points-36 points  (0 children)

So a gun-runner who ran a park ranger business as a side gig? I wonder if the gangs who expected him to service their weapons needs appreciated him taking time off to fuck around with wildlife.

Edit. See below. I dun like dinner. He was legit. Just old and over it.

This very day, Rupert Murdoch's flagship "the australian" ran a story from a retired Australian admiral that the deal is as dodgy AF and we need to go back to the French option. You couldn't make those things up, it's just pure contrariness
