I disagree. I will not under any circumstances be advertised to in my own home.

I'm happy to pay for your goods and services, but if you break that agreement our relationship is immediately concluded. The penalty for breaking the original terms of our agreement is that I will take what I originally paid for in perpetuity. You had your chance.

Same rules apply for attempting to renegotiate the rules whilst the ball is in play: see Amazon's new trend of attempting to charge an additional monthly fee of the same amount as the initial service to access documentaries etc. They're finished.

Neither of them represents an acceptable choice to lead a party. That's kind of my point.

If these are the only two viable candidates then something is completely broken and needs to change.

I know enough to believe this isn't a great idea.

Genetic variation in target populations can result in different outcomes for a variety of treatments and is worth testing specifically.

No thank you. Startallisback to the rescue. Ghost spectre to remove whatever bullshit they put in this time.

I'm not against progress, I just prefer my computer to leave the thinking to me.

If I rode my bike to work, my shift would be over by the time I got there. I'm really starting to like the idea of biking to work.

I don't really know what people are expecting to happen?

It's true that the housing market does not represent real value of the asset at all. You pay double or triple 'real' value, and it seems that OP is suggesting a market correction is due.

Whilst that may be true in some areas that are actively collapsing with major population drain due to crime, lack of work etc (I'm certainly not familiar with the USA or its cities) - overall the supply of houses is still vastly outstripped by the demand of people that would like to own one. The population continues to grow via immigration and births to prop up the never ending shell game of annual GDP growth.

Whilst there may be regional blips, unless there are massive social housing programs that flood the market with cheap, desirable dwellings then I'm not sure why anyone would expect the housing market to crash. Until the shell game and the table they play on is flipped and burned, the housing market will not crash. It's the most basic supply/demand equation out there.

I work in the bush. I'm well familiar with snakebite first aid, snake ID and all of the "Here's what NOT to do" etc.

There is something that nobody likes to talk about regarding snakes in Australia. If you get bitten on a limb and you know what to do, you'll probably be ok.

None of us like to talk about what happens if you get tagged on the torso, arse or head by a brown snake, taipan, rough scaled snake etc. The fact is, you are probably going to die.

Further still, I can follow all the right first aid advice if I am bitten on a limb: Pressure immobilization bandages, lay still, wait for help. If nobody knows exactly where I am, I could be waiting days for help. Again, I'm likely going to die. I do my best to communicate my movements but Australia is a big place, and emergency GPS devices often fail under canopy cover.

This is something that is ALWAYS in the back of my mind. I wear good quality snake gaiters, make a tonne of noise and keep my eyes peeled but when you are walking through thick undergrowth where you can't see the ground there's really not much you can do about it. It will be the one you don't see. Also lots of snakes climb trees, not just treesnakes - this is another thing most of us like to just ignore because otherwise we'd never go out in the field.

Between the plants and the animals it does sometimes feels like this country wants us dead.

I've got a better idea. You want to make your game stupidly large? Ok fine, sell me a physical copy pre-installed on a fast USB stick. Job done.

Please crawl back into the weird hole you crawled out of.

To the American palate natural sugars taste like sour lemons. The rest of the world goes crazy for sultanas or raisins in things because they are such a sweet little surprise. To Americans raised on a steady diet of factory brewed high fructose corn syrup, they seem to offend and overwhelm their senses.

I hear so much raisin hate on American podcasts etc. I'll never understand it.

Can normal people who just don't like being tread on not have anything?

As far as I'm aware, the Gadsden flag has it's origins as a warning against the British when the American colonies started to get their shit together and become ungovernable. It seems like it might be a good time to start flying it again just about worldwide.

Is forestry happening in the area? A few thousand hectares of well managed forest creates hundreds of jobs. A couple of timber mills and all the labour that powers them, mechanics and saw doctors for those.

Trucks to haul the lumber, machines and operators to cut and extract it, and the mechanics for those. Machines to prepare the site for replanting and the operators and mechanics for those. Ground crews to plant trees. Foresters to manage the forest and all of the beaurocracy and hierarchy that comes with that. Fire management crew, science and research crews, plot measurers, tree markers...

Then you need another whole industry to keep this small army plied with booze and food.
