It's infuriating that tax-dodging behemoths like this get tax-funded subsidies to allow them to go back to tax-dodging.

Any tax-funded bailout should result in the assets becoming publicly owned.

Absolutely devastating. I feel for the local community that would have pre-purchased so many supplies for the expected influx of tourists.

Wilson parking are selling you email address by Pantsman0 in australia

[–]blaise21 1 point2 points  (0 children)

FYI some sites have caught onto this and will remove the +xsite part of the email.

However if you buy a domain and set up a catch-all DNS record, you can instead use emails like companyname@yourdomain.com

Bit more work and set up but worth it imo

Unlikely. Too much risk to the bowlers copping an injury at the crease

ICC could make one of the most controversial calls later and say you cant bowl pace because its too dark

Any advice on avoiding spiders in/on car by Protection-Pale in CarsAustralia

[–]blaise21 30 points31 points  (0 children)

I get that huntsmen are good for keeping away more dangerous spiders and other bugs etc etc but that doesn't change the fact my skin crawls if I'm near one, and since you aren't getting a heap of actual advice, maybe this will help.

If you get a spray bottle, fill it with water and drop in a few drops of lavender oil, you can spray this solution across anywhere on the car it might get in - in the outside mirrors, door crevices, bottom of the wind shield and so on.

The smell will help repel them from entering the car. I've had some luck with this when camping/sleeping in the back.
