In this case it’s because if you raised them no-one would want to buy them. The egg laying breeds are a lot tougher and have a lot less meet than the ones bred for meat. They also cost more per amount of meat in the end.
The simple fact is that people don’t want to buy that, so it’d just be wasteful to grow them out.
Ah yes, let’s take the low life area and make it 0 life
Nah, it’s mostly because all the tech reviewers trashed phones with plastic backs saying they felt cheap. If you look at any of those reviews they always talk about the premium feel.
It also changed from aluminium to glass backs mostly for wireless charging.
Plastic backs are better, but the tech reviewers did a lot of damage there. If they’d tried to influence people and explained why particular made sense instead of trashing it we may have more plastic phones.
If it’s just passing the fire over the nest it shouldn’t catch the wood on fire, but it could damage the paint. You don’t need the heat under the nest for long though, just long enough to burn the wings of the adult wasps
Get a newspaper, roll/scrunch up a bit, light it on fire and hold it beneath the nest. Then when they try to fly out their wings immediately singe and they drop to the ground. Then you can step on them with boots. I don’t know yellow jackets but that’s what I use in Australia for paper wasps (which are very aggressive).
Buying the shares is cheap if the company is worth nothing /goes bankrupt from fines for their environmental breaches
Fining the shit out of them for their many many environmental breaches. Then when they’re bankrupt, re-nationalise them for cheap.
No, it’s the privatised sewage companies that have cut costs to the point their infrastructure is crumbling
Renewables are cheaper and faster to build. In Australia with the renewable resources we have nuclear just doesn’t make sense to start building today.
It’s a damn gold plated skeleton though. A skeleton of transmission and storage is cheaper and a really good complement to renewables
I mean, that seems like a really sceptical way to live. Often things get shilled because people are just happy with the service and think the business is doing things well. I am a kagi user and have brought it up to some others, including outside of lemmy, because I find it produces better search results than ddg etc. And it’s a definite step up from google in privacy
It still takes upfront investment. that’s easy if you’re wealthy but a lot harder if you’re pay check to pay check + there’s no reason landlords would do it. part of it is the high resolution pricing data, but we need more than just that
That and incentivise smart devices like water heaters that run when power is cheap, which is effectively a rudimentary battery
Try out bottlebrush, not sure of the variety but they’re one of the trees that does very well on riverbanks and can survive being underwater for 5 days just fine.
They also grow pretty slowly and aren’t a massive tree unlike the casuarina.
They love growing on river banks and often go under in floods. A good nursery should be able to point you in the right direction.
They also grow stupid fast. Most of our river banks are casuarina, bottlebrush and ironbark (the right variety of bottlebrush may be a better bet if you want a smaller tree and flowers)
I’m not certain of Brisbane, but my family has a little farm about 4 hours north of Sydney. Part of it is floodplains (go under in even small floods) so we tend to be reasonably familiar with the conditions that cause the big floods.
At the moment it’s not desperately dry, but the soil can hold a lot more water and there hasn’t been enough rain to cause run off so the dams are almost empty.
There’s a bit of a downpour now and if it’s particularly long and intense there may be a small flood round there, but nothing like the conditions surrounding those devastating floods last year.
Also for a lot of those rivers an occasional small flood is healthy because it helps to clear out the excess water weed that may be building up etc.
And brown poop fans
Huh, when I initially read “petty bourgeois” I thought you’d got the term wrong, but when I looked it up to check its a common anglicisation of “petite bourgeois”.
I find the latter more intuitive, as it’s “little bourgeois”, but both are right.
FYI there’s a survey you can fill in on the city of Sydney website for it
Not mostly, mostly consumer preferences. You wouldn’t be able to sell them and it’d just be wasteful
