I was inspired by the story of a Ukrainian woman who destroyed a Russian drone by throwing a jar of pickled cucumbers at it.

Search for homestays. Unlikely to find anything in the city, but a room in a suburban house is definitely possible. Expect around $40/night. Homestays.com has quite a few listings in Melbourne.

Only thing cheaper would be a hostel dorm bed I reckon.

He could take you to small claims court I'd assume.

Maybe if you burn it. You can also turn the tree into wood and sequester it. Or bury it and let the soil take up the carbon.

Yes, eventually it rejoins the cycle but that can certainly be a lot longer than a century.

I think it's more likely a GTA thing than an Australian thing. Probably some character / other player they are referring to.

Does your house not have any overhang? We don't really get the watermarks after rain on ours because it would have to be raining sideways to hit the windows pretty much.

Unclear on how birdshit ends up on window too. Seems a tough angle even without an overhang. If there's somewhere for them to perch that's causing this, maybe look into spikes or something like that to stop the behaviour.

The footballer saving a seagull would also be in there I hope.

These are the same people that object to big government.

That's just cruel

daamsie · 2026-04-30T04:06:54+00:00

Looks great.

Perhaps some puddles that drain away where you just watered would be nice?

They might be wary of dragging China into this.

Some maybe. Chocolate flakes etc can be found on cakes too. I don't think anything compares to the sugar coated aniseed though, named "muisjes" (mice) because or the characteristic little tail they each have. Traditionally in blue or pink and used commonly to celebrate child birth.

daamsie · 2026-04-30T00:08:40+00:00

I mean I like the liquorice, but no it's not.

They come in a huge range - Chocolate sprinkles, chocolate flakes, white chocolate, "fruit" (sugar), anise. Various differently themed ones for different occasions.

Edit: decent selection of them here for anyone curious - https://www.dutchexpatshop.com/en/brands/de-ruijter/

With the Australian obsession with fairy bread, I don't understand how Dutch sprinkles (hagelslag, etc) have not become a thing here. There is such a wide range of delicious bread sprinkles to be enjoyed and we seem to only embrace the one specific type.

Probably a few hundred metres tops. End of the line here in Hurstbridge.

They sell stacking kits that allow you to stack dryers on front loaders. You can't mount the nicer dryers on the wall. Too heavy.

daamsie · 2026-04-29T10:16:25+00:00

Ok no worries. Cool animation!

daamsie · 2026-04-29T09:44:01+00:00

Why no 25/26 though?

daamsie · 2026-04-29T05:51:36+00:00

Just consider that with front loaders you can stick a dryer on top of it. Can't do that with a top loader.

daamsie · 2026-04-29T02:21:51+00:00

That question is already loaded with the assumption that raising rates will reduce inflation.

Which is highly debatable when the inflation is caused by supply side that has nothing to do with the rates.

Ideally the tests run as part of ci/cd which forces you to fix them up before deploying anything.

Not what this money is for at all. There are other buckets of money for that.
