    Bring Back Picnics

    It's interesting the way our country fire brigades are set up, outside of the cities they're all volunteers, our state emergency services too. They're set up as non profit community social clubs just like any local sports club, you can join the local football club, you can join the local cricket...

    Bring Back Picnics

    Although we've got our fair share of arsonists too, most fires here get started by dry lightning from dust storms. The next biggest cause is accidental, human error. Someone using an angle grinder out in the yard without bothering to clear all the detritus off of the ground first, welders on...

    Bring Back Picnics

    After the fires you've had in the last few years I'm surprised that total fire bans haven't been implemented. A lot of our fire fighters go to help out in the US when they've got fires, but our fire season has been getting longer in the last decade or so and we now have much less off season time...

    What video game are you currently playing?

    A small gift for you, provided no one else has found it yet of course. Eissentam Galaxy Earth like planet, no predators, no sentinels, bubbly atmosphere. This planet has large flat spaces good for building on. If you land at coordinates +36.80, +65.11 you'll be on one of those flat spots that...

    Training any wild animal to come to you for food is a very bad idea, they do get more aggressive if the feeding stops and it also encourages them to forget their natural instincts. More and more areas in Australia are banning the feeding of wild animals and the fines aren't small.

    What video game are you currently playing?

    I've been getting back in to No Man's Sky again recently. I play an older version than everyone else though - 3.75. I never play online so I bought the Gog version and it's installed under Wine with no internet access. I could have updated manually but when I read the change logs I decided not...

    Bring Back Picnics

    One of the reasons for our electric barbecues - The majority of Australia has a year round 100% fire ban. You're only allowed to cook on gas or electric by law and having free barbecues everywhere lets us maintain our lifestyle. Because of our climate we spend a lot of time outdoors and many...

    Bring Back Picnics

    If you live in a city set up for that then it's a great idea. Aussies do this a lot and most of our parks have nice picnic areas with free electric hotplates so you can cook as well.

    Extreme social anxiety

    I knew a lady living in Paris who said the same thing and if you explore Paris through google street view you soon see why. Australia's sprawled out cities are a different matter though, and even in our biggest cities where you can get away without driving there's a stigma around not being able...

    Extreme social anxiety

    That's good, so if you got a job in the city it's not going to be like 4 hours each way each day to get to work. That sort of thing is a big deciding factor for employers when they're hiring too, how far you have to travel affects how reliable they think you might be. Don't give up. You'll find...

    Extreme social anxiety

    Far more important than for those in a city. Someone in a city can lie and say that they're worried about polluting the environment but out in rural districts if you can't drive then you're totally reliant on others. Much harder to find work and to escape from your childhood in rural areas too...

    Extreme social anxiety

    Having a driver's license is a big thing, even if you're only applying for an office job in the city. There's a stereotype around people that don't have a license, they're seen as socially immature and expect everyone else to drive them around all the time. When I quit school I was only 16, I...

    Extreme social anxiety

    Much older Aussie here. As a kid I was bullied pretty badly at school and my home life wasn't all that much better either, and I could have ended up with extreme social anxiety. Quitting school and getting a job at 16 changed everything for me. The people I worked with were really good to me...

    My plan of action against pervasive discontent.

    Adelaide is one of the very few planned cities in the world. The original settlement was at Glenelg and Adelaide was surveyed and mapped out before anyone ever lived there. The Glenelg Tram still runs, plus there's a few more trams in the city centre itself, but we have an extensive train...

    My plan of action against pervasive discontent.

    That's pretty much me too, except I live 100 metres from a train station and it's easy for me to go for walks through the parklands in the city. Adelaide is surrounded by parkland, and now I'm over 60 public transport is free.

    Ways Humans Can Help Other Animals

    Here it's only in the cooler regions in the south east that we have trouble with horses and donkeys and they could have been wiped out years ago if it wasn't for a bunch of non drinking non smoking cat loving tree hugging vegans getting in the way. They keep going to court to prevent the culls...

    Image Copy/Paste to this site only not working

    Take a look at what format the images you're trying to use are. This site accepts .JPG and .PNG formats but not .WEBP. More and more sites are using the .webp format these days simply because it makes it more difficult for third parties to use their images, although that never stops someone...

    Aussie birds make a lot of noise and there's nothing personal about it. Here's a short clip of the sounds we wake up to in mornings, to us these are the sounds of home.
