    I got a frog :]

    They're native to the top end of Australia and very common, as well as being very noisy in the right conditions. Your temperature range is at the lower end of what they require. In the Australian tropics day time temperatures range from 29 to 36 degrees celsius all year round, there is no...

    We only settled on a name recently - a baby Platypus is called a Puggle.

    Yep. The more the world changes the more she stays the same. :)

    pikmin bloom

    Unfortunately there's a lot of politicians and bureaucrats that think Sydney represents all of Australia and is the only place that matters. But our state is used to that and used to having to sort our own problems out. The algal bloom is finally diminishing now and if we get a decent winter...

    pikmin bloom

    Although it's salt water algae it's very much the same thing. Odd weather conditions and unique geographical features meant that this time the algal bloom became huge and lasted far longer than normal. It became a mass extinction event that wiped out almost all ocean life in the region as well...

    pikmin bloom

    It's to do with audio processing disorder. I'm a very good communicator, even a bit of a con man in a face to face situation, but I rely heavily on lip reading and body language in order to communicate. Over the phone I can only understand every second or third word and I have to keep asking...

    pikmin bloom

    Never heard of it. When I first read the title I wondered if it was something like the fish killing algal bloom that has infested waters near my city for the past 12 months. Then when I saw it was a phone app I realised why I had never heard of it. Quite a few of us have issues with phones and...

    Dad Jokes

    The neighbour stuck his head over the fence to see what the noise was, and Little Johnny was digging a hole in the garden. "What are you up there, Johnny?" Little Johnny looked up with tears running down his cheeks and said "My pet budgie died, I have to bury it.". The neighbour said "I'm sorry...

    What Do You Love About Winter?

    It does, but not across the board as you might expect. Adelaide always poured a measure that they call a "pint" but it's actually less than an imperial pint at only 425 ml. That's still the case today, but that's only in Adelaide, the rest of the country calls that measure a Schooner. Other...

    What Do You Love About Winter?

    There's only one country in the world (of consequence) that still uses the imperial system. So if anyone's posting measurements online from outside the US then you can always assume they're talking in Metric. These days many of our younger generations have no idea what a mile is, or a pint.

    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...
