Rules in Victoria preventing building within x no of metres of trees or tree lines have just meant people are cutting down more trees. Which just adds to the problem of hotter, dryer conditions. The only thing that stops fires is holding mo

If you are from FNQ, i had heard somewhere there are grants available from qld gov for language initiatives. Did a which search and found one here [0]. I know grant applications can be a real pita, but from the face of it sounds like you co

Not OP, but at least in oz we live in a representative democracy. That means that though 51% may support the current government, any one piece of legislation only needs to have the support of the majority in parliament. It could have zero s

A belief is not a very compelling argument. Frankly, in the context of a job market I see both as interference. But whatever our beliefs, we already have sets of rules, legal and social, which limit people's choices in the job market.

I almost don't think any service will ever get a decent ui. It seems to be against the business model to be able to search easily and keep lists of what you have watched and what you want to watch. But TBH I would just like to watch on

I remember the first time I flew in the mid eighties. The plane was a twelve seater, the pilot asked for one of the passengers to sit up front and 'be' the copilot. When it came time to hand out the refreshments, he would get the

In my experience, asking people for clarification, regardless of which side of a discussion they are on, leads to inflammation. People seem to be attached to the idea that they perfectly understand the others point of view and therefore the

People do not want to believe animals are sentient and can communicate. They often spend their whole lives ignoring the evidence plainly in front of their own eyes. Hell, they used to do this with other humans.. I would argue this training

Wasn't meant to read as hubris, I genuinely was curious (if a little unclear). FWIW I have read about this at length generally at a local level, living and working next to a couple of bridges with this issue. A high tech approach has b

I never understood the high-tech approach to this problem. Where i am from they have large metal tubes dangling down a ways in front of the bridge. Makes it sound like you have already hit it. Another more insistent approach I have seen els

Sorry, never saw your response. Agree, and often argue that architects should pay more attention to the fastpaced and generative lessons of software languages, processes and businesses. We should see architecture as less finished, because i

Your phrasing suggests a comparison between 1. a finished building and 2. the process of making a piece of software.. of course there is no comparison. If you look at a more apples to apples comparison, ie. designing (and in that I would in

I guess it depends what you use it for. Definitely it is not OK for engineering or 3D printing. But it is really quite good for planning interiors, where no other tool I have found is as easy to navigate and change a model in broad and in d

Hell, Aussie pollies have been doing this for donkeys ages (also comedians.. wildlife park owners). But I always found it funny that the broadest Aussie accents I've heard outside NT have been in urban Melbourne or Sydney.

I think the point of these hamfisted rules, intentionally or not, is to push responsibility for the spread of the virus onto the public and provide scapegoats to point to when it continues to spread. Or else people would start to blame lack

Funny thing is, the real settings app in windows is still more or less the same as xp and still just two clicks away. I think they just put the new fake settings app in there to fool people.

That they did not get a response says nothing of whether or how hard they tried. They got a reponse from other police, but not NSW. Read into that whatever you please, I did not.
