The parents didn't get right up at me, they were just agitated and making calls/circling the area.
I've never actually had a problem with plovers despite plenty of stories from others about how aggressive they can be, similarly I've had magpies fly past and click their beaks near me a few times during their season but I've never had them go past that. I feel like a lot of the time people just get panicked when a bird starts trying to make a point.
I think it is getting a bit better, the last few years has seen slightly more colours come back. It's still largely boring but there are a few red, blue, and green cars around again instead of everything being grey, white, or silver. Grey can look rather nice on the right car but it's a bit much when every boring SUV joins in.
I'll note Mazda seemed to lead a bit of a resurgence a while back with red and that is a colour I do like, dark green is my favourite though (I've seen a few newish BMWs with a particularly nice dark green, I hope it starts a trend).
The horse has well and truly bolted in this case. To get people back to buying legal cigarettes again they're going to have to both lower the price and find a way to crack down hard on the illegal market. It takes a pretty principled person to decide to pay two or three times the price to get legal cigarettes when you can walk down the road and every man and his dog will apparently sell you cheap illegal ones.
There is truth in that, as someone who also went to such a school (numbers dropped very noticeably in yr 11, either towards TAFE or simply leaving education as soon as legally possible).
Combining CIT and UC would indeed be a hard task to manage without scaring off those who are sick of schooling as they know it and desire more practical experience. The other end would have its own issues too as prestige does still play into people's university choices and the combined edifice would have to spend efforts on maintaining its reputation for research/academia to not scare off those prospective students.
That screeching is a great example of what helped shift people (and design/manufacturing budgets) away from building lighter and lower cars. No point prioritising those things which help handling when speed limits keep being set well below the safety limits of actual trucks (let alone cars), you can't advertise sporty handling, and roads become more and more potholed.
Take away people's ideas of one form of enjoyment when driving and they'll find another - this has ended up with everyone having ideas of adventure instead and now you've got herds of nominally off road capable SUVs everywhere and many more four wheel drives than there used to be in urban areas.
You're a lot of what is wrong with the modern left. No capacity for nuance and if someone is perceived as failing any of the multitudes of purity tests then they're obviously terrible and couldn't possibly have a point.
I've never even liked the proliferation of SUVs let alone the American utes, I'm just sick of the anti car crowd bewailing the current situation without having the intellectual honesty to admit they helped cause it.
Congrats to all those who stuck overly low speed limits anywhere people dared to have fun, complained when ads showed a car doing more than driving sedately, and complained about spending money on fixing roads to a proper smooth standard. You've successfully moved the aspirational goals of most people's car ownership from handling and performance to being larger, higher up, and capable of adventure holidays.
Not that I expect any of these people to admit they've helped caused this problem, the efforts will probably move now to trying to also ban anyone from enjoying themselves on the dirt.
They appear to have some smart features, the kmart website includes these on the description:
Bluetooth connectivity for music and hands-free calls
Smart touch controls and buttons
Image recognition and chat features via the HeyCyan companion app
The last point is most relevant, I'm guessing that means it can do things like attempt to identify stuff you're looking at. I wouldn't have high hopes for the software being well coded or supported for any length of time though...
If you really want a forced saving experience with tax remove your claim to the tax free threshold for that job. Do that and I can basically guarantee you'll be sitting on a fat return every year.
The downside is of course that getting that tax return means you didn't have that money for the rest of the year, which is good if you can't save otherwise but means you didn't even get the pittance of interest you could have gotten if you had it (not to mention making your life hard if the weekly budget was already tight).
If someone tells you they understand a normal combustion engine commuter car transmission they are either a transmission expert or a scammer, whereas you can make an electric motor literally with a battery, wire and some magnets.
And you can make a working multi speed transmission with a kids toy, if you're going to reduce both sides to a simplistic representation rather than just the one.
Trying to compare the simple motor you linked to a functioning transmission is like me using that mecanno video to say how simple a transmission is compared to the motor and control circuitry out of a modern electric car. Comparing like for like I'd venture to say that most people would have considerably better luck understanding exactly how a real manual transmission works than exactly how a modern electric car motor works.
Edit: Realised that was a bamboozle and I walked right into it too...
Something about their lack of filtering making it so you had to search through gobs of crap to find things
Marketplace is truly terrible when it comes to search filtering, so it probably was that. I've been trying to keep an eye out for a particular model of car and you simply cannot search for it on marketplace without getting results which are 99% other things. It can't even just return results for a particular make or model let alone basic characteristics like transmission type or drive type. The worst part is that we had this capability on places like carsales and gumtree but people decided they wanted to ignore all that and post ads on the most annoying option instead.
Because it's a dirt bike and that's the sort of thing it's built for, also the range is limited and I already have better suited motorbikes for general road use. My current dirt bike is getting on a bit and I think the electric bikes have good potential for tight technical stuff where you're normally in first or second and on the clutch a lot anyway.
I did mean single track not double track, as in literally a single track through the bush (or pines as more likely for me). I do however also like dirt tracks which have been abandoned for long enough to overgrow which is probably more like what you're thinking re. double track. This pic is the sort of thing I'm thinking of, except usually with steeper bits and a few rocks thrown in:
Well I'm just about to add to the numbers, should have a Surron Ultra Bee turning up next week (hopefully). I'd been thinking about these for a couple of years now and intend to use it mainly for the use case I wanted it for - single track - but I'll admit that the ability to use it to do the work commute or small runs around town if the fuel supply situation really goes tits up was a factor in me finally making the decision to get one.
You'll just have to choose between whether you want to be potentially identifiable or whether you want to make it known that there is a certain percentage of people with your specific circumstances/situation (who might need particular services, or be likely to vote for particular policies).
If you're unique enough to be obvious from a postcode and census answers then I don't really see how you can definitively avoid identification without removing potentially useful data (i.e. you'd have to remove/generalise questions or move to a higher level location category). It's a bit of a balancing act as evidenced in this thread with you worried about specificity while ada wants to narrow things down even more.
Sounds painful to me, I want to have my own space and not have to deal with other people in it let alone 15 of them.
I bet there's no proper garage/workshop space either for those of us who like to be able to work on things, and even if there is it'd be a nightmare sharing tools with other people. Lack of such space is unfortunately common in anything affordable now though, it's really hard to find an apartment with an actual garage (no wonder people are lacking manual skills these days).
Even it that service worked having people go online to request an offline form is a bit illogical, at least they claim to have a phone line you can request one with for those who can't or won't deal with the web form.
If you're going to eat meat it's no worse than others, the issue is that you should be able to trust that the food you bought contains what it says on the labelling.
please don’t make statements about other groups (like they are over-represented) if you can’t provide evidence
Your own quote in the body of this post states that First Nations women are more likely than any other woman to experience traumatic injury or death as a result of intimate partner violence, and neither you or the article linked to evidence for this.

Ah yes, because insulting people instead of admitting actions can cause effects is such a marker of a developed intelligence...

It doesn't fallover to other networks now? I thought that was still a thing but admittedly I haven't been following things super closely there.
