Pavers for $40-45 - are going to be pretty unattractive grey concrete (well, cement) ones, right? Even Bunnings (albeit marketplace) has 100mm geogrid for $20 / square metre. Most local vendors have 'call us for pricing', but

I saw some examples of this while travelling in Japan last year, and am keen to replicate. I suspect, like a lot of things, the local product there is superior to what I could find back home here in AU. At some castle courtyard, we were wal

I don't use gcc directly - not in a long while - but almost everything I rely on uses it, and it's hugely encouraging to have the stewards of this project contemplate, and then determine to have this policy. Meanwhile, I don'

I was sure that pre-2020 - going back 40y or so prior - VLP's were also generally regarded as coming under the umbrella term 'vaccine'.

Yeah, there's a claim I've seen about 'every third mouthful of food' that humans eat needs honeybees, and that may well be true. I'm in Australia, and we only got Varroa in 2022, and it was suppressed for about a ye

Amusingly, propagate has a horticultural, and non-horticultural meaning, and it's not obvious which one you're using there, because the bee's role is long over by the time the seed is ready to go out into the world. Pollen ca

What do you mean 'what about' ? Is your suggestion this case is somehow spurious because there aren't equal cases against everyone else clearly guilty of this manipulation? In any case, as per TFA, the claim is: > [intent

100% agree with the sentiment here, but a small nitpick - MS SQL originated as a port of Sybase onto (IIRC) OS/2.

Your first link to OPG - suggests, when looking at https://www.opg.com/about-us/ - that they have TWO nuclear power stations in their fold, and it's not clear how many of them were refurbished over what time perio

Does that '100s of billions' come from a big bucket somewhere called 'spare cash', or does it correlate to a commensurate reduction in the 'around $500 billion in ad revenue' that Google and Meta are extracting

Generally speaking the local crowd is anti-hype, and so it's easy to get the manifestation of that conflated with with what you're describing. (I fit your literal description, but primarily from a nomenclature perspective - I&#x

I had to look up black grass, as we don't have that particular weed in AU. I don't have any answers, of course, but a search on 'permaculture response in europe to black grass' gives some fairly unsurprising responses. B

aha - they've added colon. I notice that ( still goes into emoji mode though. So, the worst of both worlds. I should not be surprised. (And I am not.)
