It was mostly practical. We spent most of the two days riding the bikes. A postie bike with Aus post panniers equipped is 2/3rds the width of a yaris, a tank of a thing. With these panniers loaded up with 10kg each side, we were doing a cone weave which required you to go full lock right...

Re: attn: musical people. my friend is an idiot. Southern Cross University has an excellent music program, and you can major in music education Entry is only through UAC application, it's entirely based on HSC results, there is no audition or theory test. There is only an audition if you...

I crashed the postie bike when trying to go flat out through a cone weave (lol), I passed the course, but my boss was disinclined to let me out on the road. Being a mail sorter is better than postie anyway.

When I was training to become a postman, I had to do a two day training course that taught me heaps about handling as well as roadcraft, much better than the P's course. Much more difficult to pass than the P's test as well. Conducted at the HART centre at St Ives, great place, they have a...

Increases in life expectancy are subject to diminishing returns.

Yeah, but kids could just as easily get their hands on the currently banned AvP by torrenting it, or importing it. Restriction for those aged under 10s, ability to access this material, is exactly the same for Bruno or AvP. All you've got reason to complain about is the legislative status...

I managed to escape the clutches of humanism, unitarian, nontheism. 1. Theravada Buddhism (100%) 2. Unitarian Universalism (100%) 3. Secular Humanism (87%) 4. Hinduism (78%) 5. Liberal Quakers (75%) 6. Mahayana Buddhism (73%) 7. Neo-Pagan (68%) 8. Nontheist (65%) 9. Taoism (61%) 10...

Bruno was originally rated R18+ in Australia. The Australian cinema version was edited, some footage was cut, to make it MA15+. I gather the DVD version is R18+. In either case, viewing is restricted for someone aged 10.

Re: Questions about euthanasia... You're looking at this from the perspective of 'what harm may be caused by allowing someone to kill themselves who would have recovered'? I look at it as 'how much unnecessary suffering might we cause if we don't let someone with a sincere and well founded...

Re: Strong and effective climate change policy, that doesn't involve a great, big new I don't even know what to say. Increasing ocean acidity threatens coral reefs worldwide Is the title of the article. The first photo in the article is captioned "Rising levels of carbon dioxide in...

Re: Questions about euthanasia... Yeah I certainly respect the grey areas involved. I like to make a strong statement that anyone should be able to end their lives, but such extremism probably undermines any respect for my position. Say your friend did want to cut off their arm though...

Kerosene Sprays always end up covering the sidewall, messy and expensive. Used engine oil is the best chain lube imo. Paint a light layer on with a brush.

Re: Questions about euthanasia... Individuals should have the right to end their own lives, at any time, for any reason, by the safest, cleanest, most painless and reliable method available, without facing harassment by the state or anybody.

Re: Strong and effective climate change policy, that doesn't involve a great, big new lol how can you say I've misinterpreted it, when I didn't post any interpretation, beyond simply highlighting that "Carbon dioxide is in no way harmful to the environment" is a complete fallacy. You must...
