Ah, cheers, didn't notice. Must've been some glitch with the auto title.

BTW, why the double title?

I'd just like to please ask you to keep your language less vulgar.

We have a greater glider nest box project happening in the area where I live and where there's a lot of large trees being cut down for residential development. If it wasn't for the care and commitment of a few, we would have lost many more endangered species by now. That's why it's so important that many more people get on board and do what they can to save our amazingly unique and beautiful native animal species. Here's a pic of a GG joey to prove the point:

That's a tough one 😜

Can I still buy new tampons or baby formula? What about meds?

I remember the term from Robin Williams stand up special years ago where he drinks a shitload of water and talks about the difficulties of cumming on viagra.

Great advice, thanks.

I like the name of your movement. It gives me the giggles and reminds me of a song / jingle that was popular more than a decade ago. It wasn't about buying dumb shit but about doing dumb stuff in metro stations and risking your life. You might recognise it when you see it (but you might be too young). Anyway, have a look and enjoy it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IJNR2EpS0jw

It's true that they look pretty ok after all that time but the taste, maybe I'm imagining it, doesn't feel right.

Nice! I hadn't thought about paper towels to absorb the moisture before.

One thing I've been doing that seems to help, is re-wrapping things up airtight again, or putting things into airtight containers in the fridge.

Eg, with lettuce, wrap it in paper towels to absorb moisture, then rewrap in the bag it came in, making sure there's no air leaks. It can last me weeks.

I already buy fuck all new. The shit I buy I 95% need to buy. I need to buy fence pailings to fix my fence tomorrow. After that I'm looking to buy under floor insulation and the strapping to hold it in place. I think we just need a "Stop buying dumb shit" movement.

They keep apples in warehouses for almost a year so they can sell them out of season. Refrigeration and the chemical the article mentioned does magic

"Replace war with free everything"

Certainly an enormous amount of work and resources are spent on war and defence against the risk of war. If those resource were instead spent on useful basics... well... yeah, everyone's basic needs could be met with no extra cost.

Unfortunately, there is no easy transition from where we are to that type of utopia.

As an Aussie, Facebook marketplace and gumtree freebies are the free stuff online sources.

And destroy the natural environment at the same time so that land, water and air are poisoned as has happened on Palestinian lands

It doesn't really bother me, high energy prices push people further towards renewbles (see South Australia)

Same thing with oil prices, higher petrol prices at the pump, more EV adoption

The impact of energy prices on electric vehicle adoption: From a perspective of consumer expectations

Empirically, the study quantifies the relative influence of gasoline prices, which are found to have a significantly larger impact—approximately 3.5 to 6 times greater than electricity prices—on consumer adoption behaviour.

It's sadly a balance for me, higher prices give Russia more money but also encourage EV adoption, lower prices give Russia less money but slow adoption

Okay, forget the timeline, what is the objective!

Nawwww man. They got Venezuela now. World’s biggest oil reserves. Don’t need the Middle East any more!

What do you mean Infrastructure? It just comes out of the ground right?

Like fighting over a dwindling stash of AoL discs with “1 free month” codes for dialup.

I heard about this site a couple years ago and signed up, and it took jumping through like 6 hoops of bullshit to sign up.

Then all I found was an old couch, probably infested with bedbugs, and a pile of palettes for firewood.

Then I couldn't even log back in again a couple months later to check for other stuff.

On a 1/10 scale, I give it a flat zero.

500billion for the military could have been spent on solar, wind, and batteries. Oh and create tons of jobs.

But nah let's bomb the shit outta people and trash the economy.

Oh, rhank god I can blame the upper atmosphere, and not the shithouse humans that cause the changes in the upper atmosphere!

Hey, I notice you refer to a couple online articles in this comment. Lemmy text can be formatted with Markdown to make the text in your comments flow well while linking for further reading. I've found it fun to play around with, especially when it comes to the essays i'll sometimes subject people to 😂

Here's a link for a Markdown Guide

So for (wikipedia), you could copy the url and title the link surrounded by brackets. Like this, [title]-(url) but without a dash or any space between the sets of brackets. Refer to the guide above for a better explanation.

So you're able to link the wikipedia article like this if you want. :)

Coal in Australia - Wikipedia

Don't get me wrong, i've just noticed the brackets as references and thought you mightn't have come across Markdown, or know it can be used here. Hope your weekend's been good!
