For the environmental vegans that read here to let them know it talks about animal meats. I’ve had some convos/back and forth and do it out of respect.

The people that downvote mustn’t have any respect?

See, with click bait, you can measure whatever the hell you want and then compare it to something incomparable.

Casey Station has more meat juice pollution than 1 Big Mac.

For all we know, they have more polychlorinated biphenyls than Rio.

When I was couriering, riding on the footpath was legal.

No one believed it. I had made cards of the 2 relevant road rules for handing out purposes but usually it was just an argument.

Barely related to Australia but content is content.

Working as as urban arborist, I heard all the excuses. I wish I wrote every one down to some sort of daily blog cause 90% were ridiculous.

I left urban arboriculture 7 years ago and started 17 years ago. Trust me when I say that there were so many people screaming for an urban forest and were sidelined by developers and other politics. I really wish heads would roll, they were so fucking wrong then and can’t admit it now. I rage quit because the stress of wanting to do the right, scientific thing was ignored for fucking idiots making god awful decisions instead. No one will suffer the consequences of their actions. Hot enough for ya?

Remind me to stop clearing hundreds of thousands of hectares of bush on my day off.

Thank you for explaining that. The excessive contact time has no bearing on what I was saying, obviously.

Nothing like tearing up the bush to enjoy it. Next up, 4WD action on the beach.

Very cool. It’s nice to see original content.

They took the tree down and then drilled the stump? Just spouting on the pieces? Shouldn’t come too much. Eucalyptus is another species that also gives it a good crack after cutting.

Usually when we do Privet you can throw the pieces wherever but during the La Nina we had to work through rain constantly and had heaps of cut small-leaved Privet pieces take root.

We took ownership of an old piano and inside was a bag of DDT and Camphor.
