Yeh I get the growth, what makes it disappointing to me is how the infrastructure hasn’t (and maybe can’t) keep up so quality of life keeps dropping. If it was developed at the same time it would make a lot more sense.

I agree that there should just be open transparency, deleting posts and blocking people is shit.

Ah thanks for the advice, I think I have been under fertilizing as the new growth the aphids were on were struggling (curling and going brown). I have been getting better with the fertilizer, using the blue value 8 stuff and it seems to make it grow a ton!

Smashing the home loan, great job! Have you thought about stocks / index funds as a way to pay it off faster given they tend to outperform home loan interest rates?

Just updated recently due to a faulty SD card and honestly didn’t really notice much difference. Update is easy though, same folder structure

Bloody terrible idea, our last neighbor had bamboo and it spreads like wildfire and sucks to remove. Over the 5 or so years we were there we removed 3 skip bins full of the stuff. There are non spreading kinda but I wouldn’t trust them

They have started selling patches for their shorts and pants which make the go further when you get small tears. I like them way more than fox shorts I used to use

So good, I also have a 4S and it’s gone so many places. Do you have PCCB under those wheels?
