I live in Canberra, Australia and we also have an excellent climate for olives and lemons. Apples and practically all citrus also do well and plums and other stone fruit grow like topsi. Figs too.

Deep inland, 600m elevation

We need to protect many of our fruit trees from birds, but not olives, apples, or citrus

The playful, drunk elves of the Hobbit were wood elves; the stuffy ones were high elves

I think PJ made them a bit too up themselves

(Too stuck up, too snooty, too like the ideal British noble)

Right, so you’ll hope it’ll stabilise prices, penalise people for moving home if it doesn’t work, penalise people for moving home regardless if they bought before this measure

The general idea is you tax things you want to stop, do you think it’s a good idea taxing selling one house to buy another to live in? I thought it was investment properties you didn’t like.

1. Why go after the paper gains of people moving from one primary residence to a different one?
2. Taxes on investment houses are directly passed on to tenants, raising rent

People who bought a very cheap house twenty years ago might have a million dollar capital gain and a $30,000 income. If they wanted to move they couldn’t sell that house and buy another under your scheme

I quite like the current policy in Canberra, Australia, where land tax is levied on rental properties, but not if you rent it at a lower rent

I guess using two good sources is good. If you get different results you can just not trust that ID

The danger of using a universal guide is it opens more confusion. The death cap in my earlier comment is an example, a Chinese guide will tell you a mushroom that looks like that is good; an Australian guide will tell you it’s deadly

For a differentiation of the two you need to check in more detail, but if you had the local you’d be fine as there’s no safe mushroom that looks like that here and no dangerous one that lives there

With a smaller set identification is easier

You would be better using a local field guide

A large category of dead mushroom hunters is people who know the mushrooms of where they are from, but find mushrooms elsewhere that look like a good one from home

In my city it’s Chinese trained mushroomers thinking death caps are a good eating mushroom (it isn’t)

I have driven through one of the grass growing areas of Australia (wheat, barley, all the animal feed, etc)

It’s so dead other than the specific grass grown in that field

It was nice getting into a beef raising area where there were trees and wild plants

If you live in a place you cannot access the capital gain

If I were to sell my house I bought for ~$100k for $500k I would need that 500k to get an equivalent house

I can imagine ways of doing that without too much friction. Building residents would have to buy out the building though which many won’t want to do

My city levies land tax on any land that isn’t the owner’s private residence

That though really just increases rent, even if rent is unfair already

They have just also added a thing where you don’t cop land tax if you rent out a place at sufficiently below market rate

It just was not much different to 98 and had less good UI

keyboard layout resets

Most people don’t care as they only have one layout. You and me are odd. I usually set my preferred layout as default

It’s going to annoy me. I keep the task bar on the bottom on my machine and on the side for remote/virtual machines

The system in question is capitalism. It’s been around longer than any of the named generations. It was tamed a little before the first world war (it enabled the first world war to be a world war). It needs to be more restricted

What you wrote was fine. Some people don’t like that sentence structure for stupid reasons

I wouldn’t, but only because I enjoy writing, even for email

“that’s a shame, you should have considered it when you last downsized the workforce. I’ll be back in a month”

STILLWATER, Okla. (KFOR) — The Oklahoma Highway Patrol says they arrested a man in Pawnee County earlier this week for allegedly stealing a truck so that he could drive to his court date for a stolen vehicle possession charge.

Kody Adams was reportedly at a Stillwater gas station asking people for a ride to his court date in Pawnee County.

OHP says that when Adams couldn’t find a ride, he “borrowed” a LifeNet ambulance supervisor truck that was left running to make it to the courthouse.

An OHP Trooper caught Adams walking in at the courthouse and arrested him after he allegedly admitted to the theft. Adams was taken to his court date, then back to Payne County.

According to OHP, Adams’ court date in Pawnee County was for possession of a stolen vehicle.

You mean in a single dose? I’ll have 700mg 1000mg over three hours often

I have only heard of melatonin for jet lag and changing shift work

I don’t believe it’s good for sleep in general given those two uses are about messing with circadian cycles and that’s not going to help someone without otherwise good sleep habits
