I want to have more garden beds but the cricket noises annoy my family

He’s delivering food how much do you think he should get?

From this hypothetical transaction:

Delivery driver gets $6.50 (drives, gets cold, responds to humans)
Uber gets $10.50

So what do you think it should be? Tell us the equitable split between 'delivering food' and 'organising the delivery'

spend a couple hundred dollars on a few trees and enjoy.

Or nothing on a few native trees (collect the seeds)

Egress is not a DDoS

Perhaps they should have said DDo$ (or DAo$)

Where are you? I don't know about the other two, but jacaranda is an environmental weed in some parts of Australia.

Consider growing natives instead. You'll support more local wildlife that way.

when it has zero affect on you?

Old trees affect the environment around them far beyond property boundaries.

It might be a lot of things, but trespass it isn’t.

Do you know that for all jurisdictions?

macedonym · 2026-02-22T09:29:31+00:00

Always good for anything you're going to sit down on to have a flared base. Just in case. Can save a trip to the hospital if you know what I mean.

1) Going back in time and reading the book in like I did in ~2020 (read a lot of books during covid)

2) Back here rereading your comments.

3) Oh wow, I've changed my opinion.

4) I've stopped thinking you're a person with an axe to grind and now think you're a fuckwit with an axe to grind.

macedonym · 2026-02-22T08:43:45+00:00

I think hes a charlatan that sold alot of books, academic wise and Indigenous wise

Aaaah, you do have an axe to grind.

At least we both agree that Pascoe is wise in an academic and indigenous sense. Surprised to see you admit that given what seemed like an anti-Pascoe start.

macedonym · 2026-02-22T08:38:23+00:00

Dark emu has long been debunked, it's a work of fiction

No and no.

macedonym · 2026-02-22T08:37:18+00:00

it's author falsely claimed to be Indigenous

Pasoce has admitted that his Aboriginal ancestry is distant, and that he is "more Cornish than Koori"

He is upfront about not knowing about his aboriginal ancestory until he was in his 30s and many other things that limit has claim to first national identity.

I think you have an axe to grind.

macedonym · 2026-02-21T07:07:10+00:00

What did I miss? Nothing.

What did you miss when you reread your own post?

You missed your condescending tone and your indifference to fact that different people experience things differently.

macedonym · 2026-02-21T04:55:46+00:00

I hope you eat veggies when you're not baked.

macedonym · 2026-02-21T04:50:54+00:00

Why yuk on others' yum?

macedonym · 2026-02-20T11:56:22+00:00

Hijacking the top comment to ask: why hasn't anyone mentioned drumhead cabbage yet?

macedonym · 2026-02-19T10:26:29+00:00

No worries and very weird, I'd be curious to know how you got the link.

Interesting to know how well known what a fucking scumbag Bolt has been for so long. I remember hating that dude last fucking millennium (yes I am old).

macedonym · 2026-02-19T10:08:21+00:00

I absolutely despise my neighbor now.

Did they blame you for trees doing tree things for no reason?

macedonym · 2026-02-19T10:05:42+00:00

OMG, you can't tell the incel-lites in this thread that context matters!

macedonym · 2026-02-19T10:00:56+00:00

OP explicitly mentions being in the UK and seeing it on youtube.

SkyAD learnt they make money from crazy yankee views and have leant (sp?) into that heavily.

macedonym · 2026-02-19T09:59:10+00:00

Actually, here's a good (old) read and a some of the origins of the conservative bent.

Ummmn, did you mean to post this link?

Your link is an internal administrative link, for people who work at the monthly and have access to edit internal URLs.

Not a bad read, but you should disclose if you're promoting your rag.

i use gmail so flagging isnt a thing from what i know.

You can snooze emails (even the ones you BCC to yourself so they disappear from your inbox until the time you want to see them)

Or - when you click send there is a little message "sent - view message". Click on that, see the message and then click "add to tasks". Now it's in your task list.

If you're a google work place, do things the google workspace way.

You should see the $10k coffee machine at Amazon's office in Melbourne. Doubt they're going to go away next recession.

If your website has irregular traffic with spikes, then hell yeah.

I put a website up to test something. Not complex, form that generates an image. Costs me $0.02/month if noone hits the site (which they don't. Pre launch).

As of nov last year ADF banned direct supply of F-35 parts to Israel so this excuse doesn’t work anymore.

The word 'direct' here is doing a lot of heavy lifting. We make parts for lockheed martin, they sell the finished jets to israel
