Apparently the average is up in Germany, you just haven’t had any extremes this year.

Wait. Do people go into Kmart and target weekly?

If it’s not built to code to code it can pose all sorts of safety hazards to your neighbours or future owners of your property. If you don’t bother getting approval you didn’t bother building it properly either.

At the slightly more silly end, your shed could lower the value of the neighbours property (because it looks like a meth lab, or just a general hillbilly grotto) and the law holds financial harm higher than physical harm most of the time.

Edit: also it’s not just you, it’s any meth head who decides to build their own shed. Laws need to cater for the lowest common denominator.

I see a lot of people claim the training model included copyrighted works particularly books because it can provide a summary of it. But it can provide a summary of visual media too, and no one is claiming it’s sitting there watching films.

If the argument is it has quite a detailed knowledge of the book, that’s not convincing either. All it needs is a summary and it can make up the blanks, and get it close enough we can’t tell the difference. Nothing is original.

Why do you think the laws exist in the first place. Because there is some hurt to somebody else. You just can’t see it.

Mostly agree with you but some context is required

Cluster bombs historically have a 30% failure rate. The modern American ones have ~1%.

Historically they were used indiscriminately against unknown targets in a large area (they’re really good at that), in Ukraine the Ukrainians are using them against known targets and are logging their use so after the war the area can be cleaned of any duds.

This also isn’t introducing a new weapon to the war; the Ukrainians and Russians have been using their own stocks of cluster bombs from the start, the Ukrainians are just asking for a resupply of the better American ones.

Just checked all 43 unis in this list and only Monash and carangie melon, which is an international uni, break the trend.

Australia doesn’t. We’re all .edu.au

Edit: here is the list of who uses it. Stands for academia if it wasn’t self evident to anyone else either.

2nd edit: having trouble with escaping characters in the link so it’s defaulting to the ac page when it should be https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.ac_(second-level_domain)

What @hanni said. But they also split out the unemployment payment as the disability support payment. So it’s all the disabled pension too.

Just had a quick read of the dingo wikipedia article because I was under the impression that we didn’t have many pure dingos left. Apparently we do.

only benefits animal agriculture.

That is entirely the point. I’m not sure what you thought it was? Dingos aren’t an endangered species and are even a declared pest in some areas.

In 2018, the IUCN regarded the dingo as a feral dog and discarded it from the Red List

Even conservationist regard it as a feral species.

Greedy ? They’re both free products?

I’m pretty sure they plan on selling the apartments. an article I read describes them as premium apartments which make more sense to sell I think.

But even if they weren’t selling them, woolies (group) is just capitalising on the land they already (or will) own. I.e subsidising the cost of building a Woolworths store. It’ll be run as a business through a real estate agent with all the protections you already have. Probably be better for the tenant as there isn’t an owner with an ego on the other end.

And there’s nothing stoping you from getting groceries where ever you want. You could even get coles delivery if you wanted.

 

As per the title.

I just tried taging someone for the first time and I didn’t get the magic blue link. I assume they don’t get notified unless it turns blue. I’m on the mobile site if that makes a difference. I’ve noticed a few other peoples comments with the same issue.

Comment for example. https://aussie.zone/comment/297324
