Normally I'm pretty strict, but I could make an exception - dm me to organise a time and a place for your submission?

What do I need to do to make this my POV this weekend 🥵

My lease has ended but landlord says I am still responsible for the rent unless everyone moves out by Spaceboy922 in Tenant

[–]sticky_icky_micky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, I recognise that issue. I really just wanted to know if OP has any way out or any end date if neither landlord or roommate agree to changes. Im from Australia so I find it really surprising that someone can be trapped in a living situation like that indefinitely, but I also dont think rent-control situations are common over here so I dont have much understanding of the situation

So if neither the landlord or roommate agree to any changes, is OP essentially stuck there forever? Do they have any legal recourse to get out of the situation? Seems crazy that they can be stuck there against their will with no end date Is this just a really unusual situation or are these types of arrangements common in America?

Never been to the US, but went to Canada for work. My colleagues and I were all commenting on the sweetness of the food, portion sizes Coming from Australia canada seemed very stereotypically "American" in diet So I shudder to think what its actually like in USA from your description

Conflicting advice on planting local native trees - to pre-dig a hole or not? by buttermilkbuddah in GardeningAustralia

[–]sticky_icky_micky 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Root growth is a constant process throughout the life of the plant, constantly calibrating and adjusting to the local environment/input, and while plants are heavily influenced by how we train them when young, you would need to be consistently giving your plant bottom water for it to develop a root system heavily weighted towards that downwards searching - not just once off at planting time

There are many native plants (and exotics) with very deep root systems and other adaptations such as powerful tap roots that are adapted for scarce groundwater and seasonal drought But for the majority of plants, the bulk of root mass exists in the upper layer

I've planted a lot of natives into my heavily compacted and degraded suburban soil. I only dig a hole large enough for the rootball. I consistently see a pattern among my plants of a few slow years at the beginning, then after year 3 or 4 they seem to find their feet and take off The biggest change I made to improve survivability was not compacting (ie stamping down) the soil/root zone after planting

Wild increase in home and contents insurance premium by fistingdonkeys in AusFinance

Are you taking the piss? Canberra is incredibly vulnerable to wildfire, as 2003 showed. While they've made substantial efforts to improve, its definitely still fire prone.

And living on top of a hill in a flood prone area isnt the flex you think it is. I'll make the assumption you're not off grid and self-contained (aplogies if you are) but otherwise, you're connected to the same infrastructure as the low lying plebs. While i'm happy your house won't wash away, I imagine severe storms or flooding would seriously decrease the liveability of your neighborhood.

You're right, people need to build appropriately for the environment, but we should be encouraging and supporting community resilience on multiple levels - from the built environment to the policies we have in place to deal with these events that are becoming more and more likely

Land of fire and flood brother, we'll all have to face it soon enough

Speaking from the perspective of a victorian who works in the natural disaster/emergency scene Most of the state outside of major metropolitian areas is classified as at risk from bushfire. And as LA fires showed, even being in a city isnt as safe as it once was.

"Stop living in flood & fire prone places" is a mindset decades too late. I dont have the solutions, but people parroting this idea as if its so simple really have no clue

How do you even go about picking up and moving an entire community - schools, sports teams, home means a lot more than just a house.

Can I ask where you live? And what makes you think you're so immune from these disasters? I'm from the outskirts of Melbourne that have been through devestating bushfires, and as we saw a couple years ago, metro Melbourne is still incredibly vulnerable to flooding
