Awesome post. wish I had something intelligent to say but it's 2am. I understand your sentiment and frustrations completely. Obviously my view is that the problem lies with disinformation so If everyone could just turn off their TVs and stop buying into this whole political shyt-show that would be awesome. Which isn't gonna happen right, so yeah, we need our governments to toughen up on mis-information, because self-regulation in the media and social media is weak as piss like always... anyway that's just my humbe 2 cents for now.

Every coles I've been to sells them all the time. Not sure if they're the real deal or not though. They're not that hot. I munch them down with a couple of dimsims and yeah, they're OK but it's not like a kick in the balls or anything. Maybe just all the water and ferts they pump into them.

Use a soil-wetter when dunking too. Eg a couple drops of detergent or a couple teaspoons of molasses. It helps the water stick to the larvae and drown them. Otherwise they can survive in little air pockets through out the mix. Also I've read that crab-shell-meal works wel, as the bacteria that thrive on the ?Chitin? will eat the exoskeletons of the larvae. Sticky yellow traps can be made with cut-up plastic pots and vasoline. Let us know how it all goes

I doubt anything much will come of this but at least it's a step in the right direction. Sky News Australia to face Senate inquiry after week-long YouTube suspension Sky News Australia will face a Senate inquiry next week after the broadcaster was suspended for seven days for posting numerous videos which violated YouTube’s Covid medical misinformation policies. The hearing comes as former prime minister Kevin Rudd calls on the Australian media regulator to take a tougher line on the broadcasting of contentious Sky News material on subscription TV and free-to-air television in regional areas. https://amp.theguardian.com/australia-news/2021/aug/06/sky-news-australia-to-face-senate-inquiry-after-week-long-youtube-suspension

Sorry to hear you're struggling bro, My one and only local ethno-bro just left town recently and that's been a major bummer. I love going to meets though, even if it's a bit of a drive to get to them. I do have a few local gardening friends that make life a lot more enjoyable. As for covid, I genuinely felt a lot better once I was fully vaccinated, like I was part of the solution rather than the problem etc. so I would encourage anyone to get vaccinated. It's funny how previously people believed in vaccinations enough to literally wipe some things off the face of the planet, but now with all this social media power in the hands of the reclessly mis-informed, we're seeing (for the first time) vaccination rates dropping so low in some areas that a virus is wreaking havoc. My only humble but genuine advice is to steer clear of the anti-vax hysteria going around and just stick with the science. Our medical science is the best it's ever been in the history of humanity and there is no grand conspiracy to inject us all with microchips or take away our liberties, or whatever the latest BS is. Murdoch's business model is literally to divide and conquer. He's not interested in journalism, he's a power-broker and that's it. So yeah I agree we need to unite and look out for eachother. My personal approach has been to take a stand against misinformation and advocate for the science as much as possible, and I do get a sense of satisfaction in seeing my friends and family staying safe and all of us getting safely through all this.

Dude, some of us have family members who have been put at significant risk with this massive misinformation campaign. So I'm trying not to laugh at your meme right now. But yeah, it's deadly serious and killed hundreds of thousands in the US alone. Me turning off my TV won't do much to help stop this beast. Technically I don't even own a 'TV' but the scraps of Sky and Fox that I do come across are truly shocking in terms of what it's doing to enable this killer virus. Remember Hitler rose to ultimate power through a powerful and carefully crafted propaganda campaign, and went on to kill millions. I'm sure many people DID just switch off the TV /radio and look how that turned out Anyway. I get that it was a bit of a joke but, yeah I wish people actually 'could' turn off all that BS. I think it's the social media that really allows the BS to spread like wild fire though, but with players like the Murdoch media pouring fuel on the fire it's a truly deadly combo. Anyway I look forward to checking out those other awesome papers when I get a chance. Cheers

The Murdoch misinformation campaign is real, people... Youtube Blocks Sky News Videos https://www.theguardian.com/media/2021/aug/03/six-videos-by-sky-news-australia-hosts-alan-jones-rowan-dean-and-rita-panahi-removed-from-youtube

Here's a spicy one, obviously it's political opinion but I certainly think they're right on the money with all the misinformation being disseminated by certain groups with vested interests. As usual apply your own personal discernment...

Ah sorry man, I'm just talking shit. It's been hitting our family with a lot of worries etc, so anyway, carry on

Covid is now an epidemic among the unvaccinated.

*** Yes some more OPINION, So please apply your brain and discression when considering this, or take it with a grain of salt etc, but please don't take this as scientific advice obviously, Bla Bla Bla -disclaimer over... *** An interesting look at some of the BS going on in the media around lockdowns and vaccinations. Some of which is leading directly to people fearing the vaccine and helping the spread. I hope the Murdoch media is proud of their false messaging.

Nothing wrong with opinion if it's based in fact rather than fallacy. That one was more political commentary rather than the specific case of that nurse etc but anyway, it's certainly not meant to take the place of actual scientific information. HENCE THE BLOODY DISCLAIMER IN MY VERY FIRST LINE. Hell, remember that you've expressed your 'opinion' here also.

This is just an 'opinion' piece but it offers some very interesting commentary and insights into the politics behind the current anti covid- vaxxing phenomenon

I thought they might of been aqua's or even sapphire. That ultra light blue is really nice in a gemstone. But yeah if they were diamonds then DANG! That would be some pretty pricey earrings.

Bugger, yeah, sorry I couldn't make it. Just snowed under right now with assignments that are already late

Don't give them any more ideas, haven't they killed enough of their own lemmings already?

Areas With Low Vaccination Rates Allow Covid A New Foothold.

That's just right-wing political claptrap to take the focus away from Trump's utter failures. Fauci is merely the public face of the CDC. Why would a whole entire US government organisation be involved in some elaborate conspiracy to make bioweapons with their main enemy the Chinese? That would be a top secret military thing and they'd be doing it in US not in China. It's just a catchy political diversion pushed by fox news, like "Critical Race Theory' and 'Hunter's emails etc'. There's no actual substance to it. Remember that whole Hillary's email's thing. It literally won the election for Trump. Propaganda is extremely powerful for people willing to blindly believe anything they're told.

Definitely bro, it was awesome ;)

Latest statistic from the CDC is that 99.2% of fatalities are from unvaccinated people a highly significant number. The vaccine was designed to save lives and it does what was designed to do. And many of those dying people are 'repenting' on their deathbeds saying they wish the had gotten the vaccine in time. There's no doubt that covid vaccs are saving many thousands of lives around the world, meanwhile the blood clots are only killing 1 in three million, a virtually insignificant number (statistically). Moral of the story is don't be the guy who bets his whole life savings on the horse that always comes in last.

Got mine done today The 'Pfizer-High' is REAL, PEOPLE!!!

Bummer dude. If I get onto some more seed I'll hook U up with a bunch.

Championship Point!!! C'mon Ash! Yep, she did it! You little rippa! She worked hard for this one...
