I’m not surprised, I’m pretty sure they’re wetland birds too.
Australian white ibises. They’re kinda like the Australian equivalent to a raccoon in the US; they eat rubbish and their roosts stink because they tend to congregate in a single tree and then shit everywhere. But they are quite unique looking birds: long beaks, black heads and white plumage. So the tourists find them quite interesting and the locals call them bin chickens.
Ok, surely this is a violation of the first amendment. This is clearly the government restricting speech. Wait, nope. It’s the government ensuring its employees don’t promote speech it doesn’t like. Fuck.
I’m always kinda impressed when people can fill silence with a lot of words without actually managing to say anything.
Farken oath mate, I hear what you’re farken sayin. These cunts have no bloody idea and they make us all look like wankers. Shits me to tears.
They have their pros and cons. I wore a uniform to a public school (Australia) and it definitely meant that I had one less thing to worry about every day: being judged by what I wore. As an adolescent that meant a lot, and getting the freedom to wear whatever as an adult has meant that:
I got to learn what’s appropriate before I got that freedom and
I had the maturity to not care what others thought about how I dressed.
Can’t remember what the article was, but it was a local one for an area I don’t live in (I think it was a Canadian one). Anyway, ate the onion in a large discord server I had just joined. I was mostly just trying to become part of the community. Nobody corrected me for a couple of hours until some smug bastard said something along the lines of “…at least I know it’s a satiric publication.”
Development approval, required by a council before you build something
Fun fact: you don’t need a DA for these*, so they are a hell of a lot cheaper to install. *Subject to jurisdiction
You didn’t have to preface “cross check” with “In Canada”.
Yes, but they’re calling it a “Stanley cup”
I’ve seen a lot of reporting on finding microplastics in new places and new quantities, but is there reliable evidence that it actually does damage? Genuinely asking, can someone please send me the papers?
In Australia we have state based policing and the police live where they work. We have local police stations but the money and equipment come from state taxes. And our states are bigger than yours, WA is almost 1,000,000 km² larger than Alaska, and most of our states have much lower populations and population densities than yours. It can work, which is why I asked.
It still amazes me that your public safety agencies (police, fire and ambulance) are city based, not state based. Is there a compelling reason for that?
They still have shareholders. Public trading only means that the public can trade the shares on the open market.
Hey, I've heard this one before!
That’s gotta be the most pretentious way of saying “aircraft tail”
