...and Pink Lady was invented in SW Western Australia, so I'd imagine its only problem with growing in the US would be that you actually have rainfall and soil nutrients.

Side-eyed the front door, side-eyed the stairs in 6 and 7, was certain by 10.

A carpenter who did custom furniture could make some decent money advertising their services to the new owners.

....aaaaand why doesn't she have that show any more, ABC? Hmm?

Threatened black cockatoos, quokkas & other native wildlife are being pushed closer to extinction as their habitat is torn apart for mining profits. 🌳💔 #wildoz #environment

It’s time to say enough.

I just added my name to the Wilderness Society’s submission, you in?

The funniest regional divide in the US is Wawa vs Sheetz, and woe be unto you if you take the Wrong Side.

You know, you can amalgamate all of your state variables if you turn them into fixed-length strings and concatenate them.

That list reminds me of when I was gathering materials for my strawbale build, and realised I was ordering 20,000kg *of straw*. It was a rather large truck. 😁

Then that makes little economic sense until every existing roof is covered in panels. Why build a new structure solely to mount panels (and keep some cars cooler) when there is so much existing roof space with basically zero engineering required?

I read their post as meaning "build new roofs over top floor carparks [where they're currently open air or maybe shade sails]". If they meant retrofit over existing solid roofs then sure, go nuts.

One reason why this isn't done more is cost - you have to engineer that free-standing structure to hold the panels, and withstand wind loading in an exposed space.

Compare that to rooftops where you can mostly just bolt down the panels to the existing structure with a couple of aluminium rails.

It's popular with ultra runners for use as an electrolyte - flat is because it's a LOT easier to get down (and keep down) without the carbonation.

"Many people pay their bills a week late. This one was 10 days overdue,"

LOL....nah mate, it was 10 days suspended. It was *3 months and 10 days* overdue.
