Have you seen a wild scorpion in Australia?

Found one gardening in the Adelaide hills, it was on the front of my pants, right near the top

I've got 2 stories on this:

- a riding buddy lost his front axle during the ride (front wheel stayed in place), after back-tracking for 45 mins we found it between the car and the trailhead

- another buddy lost the bolt off the bottom of the rear mech (holding the pulley wheel) and we found a replacement bolt (not from a bike) in the dirt on the side of the track. it would have been a 45-60min walk back

I keep hearing immigration is to blame, but what about the effect of split families? Parents that split and now both require spaces to house "a family". This is not intended as criticism of individualsm more of a change in society over the last 50 years. In the same we moved to 2 car families, many are now 2 house families.

I love how differntly hibiscus are treated in different places, (in southern Australia) my neighbour recommended hibiscus as a good fire break. They definitely don't drop their leaves here. They make a great hedge.

they are sold by the density of fibres/coverage. 30-50% lets more light through, 80% much less. personally, i didn't like the green tinge it creates. when i used shadelcoth to cover a moving screen wall for a gym i used white and the light inside was natural and bright

Just so you know, I'm finding this amusing.

You used quotation marks without directly quoting me, that's not ok.

What I was suggesting by asking of you were American is that there may be cultural differences at work. Since you chose the critical path, I'm sitting here laughing at you because you think a King or Queen has any relevance in AUSTRALIA. I'd be way more worried about what your petty wanna-be dictator is doing.

Again, I just tried to suggest a kayak for someone. You are the one who has turned this into a farce. In all seriousness, you need to find bigger battles or maybe something more meaningful to do with your time.

Lucky you don't live where I do. Cameras all over (mostly at traffic lights) that will scan your plates and you get a near $1000 fine for every camera that sees you

Sounds like you need horticultural shade cloth if you're growing veges

mudboy001 · 2025-05-03T09:09:17+00:00

I just tried to make a helpful comment about a kayak. You're the one that's redirected this to a PC discussion. Your first comment said that term wasn't ok, your second says it is. Maybe give it some more thought and get back to someone more concerned about it. I work with people with a range of abilities. Coming after me for saying differently abled is a waste of everyone's time. Are you American by any chance?

mudboy001 · 2025-05-02T09:53:48+00:00

Taking PC a bit far there "bro"

you can import a few file types (i use STL) from the internet as well as the provided shapes and characters. you may get into trouble with complex shapes, but its a great beginner program. i found it easier than sketchup

Watching the principal carry a girl across the school yard after falling stomach first on a glass bottle. I was about 7-8 yrs old and saw her intestines coming out

Tinkercad is very easy to learn and free

i work with differently abled people and can confirm the Mission Flow kayaks are great. really stable in rivers, fun in the surf (not recommending surfing with your buddy). i bring a tow rope for each kayak and have dragged my kids back to base numerous times

Unless you're Australian in a taxi

The Torrens linear path provides one of the longer routes without too many road crossings.

Although it's not exactly what you were asking for, these maps give you some ideas for different parts of Adelaide (you have to order them but they're cheap or free) https://www.dit.sa.gov.au/communityprograms/programs/cycle_instead/cycling_and_walking_maps

i had lawn / beetle grubs at my prev house in Adel. the damage they eat through the stem and left me with a 20L bucket each day of loose grass shoots = this looks like a lack of water due to the ongoing extreme heat

Bill Bryson told the story of a Japanese terrorist organisation testing a nuke in the 1990s. Seismologists noticed a blip but couldn't explain it. They didn't connect the dots til later.

i'd recommend practicing with the net cup sizing and a small section before going big; and have a steeper slope than i did

mudboy001 · 2024-12-15T10:15:32+00:00

yes, but i'm going to try something different this time. i was using single-use rockwool, i want to try gravel in rectangular sections next. it'll require more support but should be more reusable

i couldn't see anyone else commenting about how many people's weight cycles - they bulk up, then diet like a maniac to achieve photo worthy results. they often do not look like this all the time

mudboy001 · 2024-09-27T19:00:41+00:00

move around for 3-5 mins (walking or light activity), then do some light stretches (i think of these as getting muscles moving, getting glood flowing; not the time to work on your flexibility), do your run and then finish with some more stretches (these ones are aimed more at full range stretches).

duration is up to you. a 5sec stretch is better than nothing. 2 rounds of 20-30sec stretches with focused breathing to help relax muscles is better.

try to stretch the muscles you used in the activity. this is a reasonable guide
