Strong Convections posted:The one blooming is maybe a touch early for here, but not by much. It's been mostly warm the past week so I figure that's triggered it. I should really dig mine up and divide them after they're done growing for this season. They've gotten quite crowded in the last couple of years. e: superb fairy wren ftw.

Magpies need the love. They're not everybody's favourite, but every year in the few weeks of mating season there's always people smearing them and wanting them shot for swooping. Public should rally behind their right to exist.

Yeah I noticed that yesterday when I had to drive to get an eye test so that I could keep my licence. Last year I was filling up with 98 most weeks cause it was super cheap and while it didn't extend my range it did give my car a little more pep

I humbly request pictures of the plover danger signs! We have heaps of them around here and they make nests in the dumbest places. Last year they made one right next to only entrance into the PCYC carpark and all the traffic going in and out had them in a constant state of attack. Bird of the year is always a tough choice. I think this year I'll vote for something elusive that could use a bit of spotlight for conservation purposes.

Infinitum posted:Petrol $1.75 The regions tend to not go as low as Sydney on a good day, but the price is more stable, and doesn't go near as high. Sydney seems to try to gouge people, but cycle it - maybe so there's no regulatory intervention? Canberra and Melbourne just don't cycle as deep as Sydney in my experience.

Strong Convections posted:Are you in Sydney? I've found that in Sydney in particular they go through cycles of ridiculousness. Like a week from now it'll drop back to 145 or so. Also depends on location in Sydney. there's 2 servos near me that are consistently charging 10c/L more than others because its a busier road.

Plovers are cool and I had a guy at work who was deathly afraid of them because he was 100% sure they could inject poison into you with their little spurs. He couldn't be convinced that venomous birds do not exist.

Infinitum posted:Yeah I'm in Sydney. It's hosed. Welcome to the capitalist insanity of "competition zones". Each competition zone is decided by each company on how likely it is that any group of people is to visit their sites versus another site in the area. If they decide they're about the same, they will price match those other sites. But, if they decide people aren't going to drive to the other sites - because busy roads, traffic flow, industrial versus suburban clients, etc - they'll just charge the most they think they can get away with. This means if you're driving home from work on a busy multi-lane road, the servo on your side of the road might be 20¢ more than what it is on the other side of the road because companies know most people aren't going to bother with crossing over a busy road, driving in the opposite direction to what they were originally going and then trying to cross back over the road to where they were in the first place. My knowledge is pretty out of date as I haven't worked in a servo since I was a young lad, but I think only WA and one other state have a hard cap on fuel prices which makes things even worse. And of course, the real kicker, from the list of federal level MP entitlements: quote:Private-plated vehicle: Every MP given a car from a list (typically a Holden, Ford or Toyota). MPs pay $711 a year and taxpayers pay all costs, including petrol, registration and servicing. Can be used for private and family reasons and can be driven by a staff member or family member. Can't expect pollies to care about something which doesn't affect them or their families - and how much do you want to bet that government issued fuel card gets handed around to everyone in their family.

magpies also steal shiny things to make their nest so it tracks. I got a bunch of fillings done today. They put anaesthetic into my lower jaw and drilled on the lower molars 4 times before I stopped feeling anything. Now it feels like I've been punched in the face from where they put all the needles in, shits hosed. Another day of court tomorrow, wish me luck. I am officially too much of a fat oval office to fit in any of the button ups I owned while bartending so I'm wearing a tshirt to court like an absolute fuckhead.

Now it feels like I've been punched in the face from where they put all the needles in, shits hosed. I spent my life going to dentists whose idea of injecting me was to just jam the loving needle into my gum and then rummage around with the drill so roughly my whole mouth hurt for ages afterwards. And I only just discovered it doesn't have to be like that. The place I just started visiting after does sleep dentistry and prescribed me valium before the procedure. loving amazing. Just, loving amazing. I've had two appointments now and both have been absolutely pain and anxiety free. The first visit, I was in the chair for an hour and a half and it felt like five minutes. They were doing some heavy work in there and I was just lying back without a care in the world. Also, the dentist was amazingly considerate to my needs and did amazing work that didn't leave my whole face numb and drooling and feeling like I'd been punched by a truck for the next several days. And the only difference in price to the regular (lovely, painful, stressful) dentistry I'd suffered through all my life was the $20 for a small bottle of valium pills. tl;dr some dentists loving suck. If you can, find a new one who won't leave you feeling terrible. And best of luck in court. Sadly there's no way to make that suck less.

I was really stressed out I wasn't going to be able to eat anything for lunch until I realised I had a bunch of up n gos in the fridge. Lunch of champions. Got a quiche on the go for dinner as well so I'm hoping that won't be too much effort for the old chompers but tbh the numbness is mostly gone and its just the needle hole causing me grief

I got a tooth out a few years back at a paupers dentist in Elizabeth in Adelaide's north. Anesthetic just wouldn't do anything and I got sick of the prick jamming a needle into my gums so I told him to just take the thing out. The dentist asked "...Are you sure?" but by that point I hadn't slept the last two nights because of the toothache so I just wanted it done. That loving sucked. 0/10
