- Comment on What is the maximum number of potatoes you could grow in your house or on property you own before it becomes a crime? 5 days ago:
I think (and it was a few years ago, and I could be imagining things) that the land was originally farm land. When it was sold off and subdivided into the suburb, the owner added that clause for some reason. Maybe to piss off a local brick company 🤷.

Google tells me I need 800-1200c, my oven might not cut it. Maybe I can just put it directly in a fire? Can’t have fires in my area though.
If I ever work it out, I’ll be sure to post it.

Have shovel, sunlight not so much atm. I assumed it would need a kiln and molds?
- Comment on What is the maximum number of potatoes you could grow in your house or on property you own before it becomes a crime? 6 days ago:
I absolutely want to do that, but for now lack the tools/skills.
It was in the copy of the title, and our conveyancer told us before we settled. We were devastated of course, our planned business to revolutionise the brick industry was ruined.
- Comment on What is the maximum number of potatoes you could grow in your house or on property you own before it becomes a crime? 6 days ago:
Depends on entirely on local laws. My house has an interesting quirk written into the title where I cannot dig up clay in order to make bricks. No idea how that’s enforced, but its there.

Thats hot. And I am going to assume this is canon from now on.

Ok furry artists, you know what to do, I wanna see the filthiest Visa x MasterCard art you can dream off. Payment process me baby
- Comment on Have most people never seen a full starry night sky 1 week ago:
According to that map, the place I was visiting to see aurora was a yellow region, but it was definitely dark enough to see the milkyway and the aurora itself by naked eye. If the rest of the map is similar, then there are still plenty of “dark enough” skies.
Would love for more though of course. Better light regulations are long overdue everywhere.
- Comment on If i stain or spill a drink on a shirt, can i just wash it in the bath with generic soap and let it soak rinse and dry to get the same thing as a whole load of laundry? 3 weeks ago:
More or less yes, but getting it dry will take longer.

Soaking the stain in water asap (before it dries) will go a long way.

On our end (Aus), I’d argue that we were “successful”. Outside of a few desperately keeping their culture alive, much of it is dead and gone.
The really shameful part is that we didn’t do it 2 centuries ago, it was 1960’s. And given we keep destroying their historical sites to make way for mines, it arguable hasnt entirely stopped.
- Comment on [deleted] 5 weeks ago:
It didn’t murder you, but do you keep much of your original culture?
The whole point of the stolen generation policies were to destroy the aboriginals culture. Its not a genocide in the murder sense, but the end result is the same, the group will no longer functionally exist.
- Comment on [deleted] 5 weeks ago:
There is more than one way to genocide. Contact likely ends in assimilation, which is functionally a genocide.
For a historical example of this, see the “Stolen Generation” in Australia.

- Comment on Is flirting redundant? 1 month ago:
Do you mean like pickup lines? If so, yeah, I dont think those are necessary anymore. But that said, I haven’t dated in years, so what would I know :/
- Comment on Is flirting redundant? 1 month ago:
Flirting is how you build connection? Perhaps we have different ideas on what flirting is, but to me, its the things you do to build a connection (talking, joking, hanging out, etc). So if you dont do those things, you’ll not build a connection.
- Comment on After Israel and USA's bombing, wouldn't any supposed nuclear bombs go off if there were any? 1 month ago:
Not necessarily. Nuclear weapons generally require fairly precise timing in order to go critical and properly explode.
If the timing is off, it’ll still spread nuclear material around, but it won’t make the large mushroom cloud style explosion.

The answer is to fix the hospital issues, not to play Russian roulette with mothers lives. “Fallback” is no good if the mother is bleeding out, or the baby is not breathing, and the hospital is 10 minutes away. Every second counts.
- Comment on 1 month ago:
Yeah, no shit. Its basically antivax nonsense applied to birth.
Giving birth in a hospital has its fair share of horrors, but child birth used to have a really high mortality rate (and still does in parts of the world). Anyone who wants to go back to that is ignoring history.
- Comment on CEOs Are Creating AI Copies of Themselves That Are Spouting Braindead Hallucinations to Their Confused Underlings 1 month ago:
Except that these are AIs trained on the CEOs thoughts, so its a bit of a “We trained him wrong, as a joke” situation.
- Comment on What are some good places/activities where a middle-aged man can new make friends? 1 month ago:
Archery. Relatively cheap sport to get into (no consumable bullets).
As for limited mobility, that depends on what you mean, wheelchair - not a problem, upper body - maybe a problem, depending on the extent. Crossbows can solve the strength part, but if you can’t aim, that will be a bit harder.
- Comment on CEOs Are Creating AI Copies of Themselves That Are Spouting Braindead Hallucinations to Their Confused Underlings 1 month ago:
Spouting braindead hallucinations
So how do you tell the difference?
- Comment on Are standing seats on airliners actually going to be a thing? 2 months ago:
Yeah, further compounding the problem. And if standard carry-on luggage’s dont fit anymore, it’ll force more luggage into the hold, which will also run out of space. Unless there is a new plane built around the standing concept, I just can’t see it ever happening.
- Comment on Are standing seats on airliners actually going to be a thing? 2 months ago:
Realistically, no. Unless the airline also slashes the ticket prices in half, its just going to make them less popular than regular airline seats.
And even if they did manage to cram 2x more seats, there isnt enough space in the overhead lockers for 2x the luggage, so it just won’t work.

- Comment on I'm a console gamer so, Why the hate on the Epic Games Store? 2 months ago:
Isn’t steam responsible for match making only, and the actual game company is responsible for the servers? Are you sure its not the game servers?
Either way, that would be very frustrating if its happening mid round.
- Comment on I'm a console gamer so, Why the hate on the Epic Games Store? 2 months ago:
Whichever gaming store I buy into, I am going to spend thousands on games. I need to be able to trust that they’ll still exist in the future.
I trust (whether correctly or not) gaben more than sweeney.
Of course, the smart thing to do is buy from GOG and keep the games backed up yourself, but failing that, steam is the next most reliable store front.
This all boils down to a personal opinion though.
- Comment on I'm a console gamer so, Why the hate on the Epic Games Store? 2 months ago:
My dislike of epic is that they seem to be buying their way into competing, instead of actually competing on features.
Free games sounds good now, but what happens when the fortnite gravy train runs out, and epic needs to start making a profit? They’ll likely have to enshittify fast.
Steam at least has a solid history of being generally good. But who knows what will happen if Gaben ever ascends.
- Comment on I'm a console gamer so, Why the hate on the Epic Games Store? 2 months ago:
Does steam really have frequent multiplayer downtime issues? I’ve never notice any issues, but I don’t play a lot of multiplayer anymore.
- Comment on Which kind of applications need legacy processor but up to date OS ? 2 months ago:
It could be things like ATM machines, that have bespoke motherboards, but need to be networked, and therefore patched.
