  • fix carbon anymore (yay fungi)

    I’ve not made the time to get all up in my fungals, but i know a lot more understanding is coming out. Whats the deal?

    For the rest of the thought, i’ve pictured it as a net loss, with a little uptake, a bit like the zoomed in hockey stick graph shows the yearly changes with the seasons. But i haven’t any evidence to point to, if any exists.

    For context, i live near bush and see the effects, so this all is just like, my opinion man… Ithink it retards growth, but there is definite regreening as you say, a lot though seems to be invasive weeds, so i don’t know if the biomass actually increases that much. I suppose a tree ring study would show whether but offs effect biomass increase or noy.

  • The Cook Government is contributing a capped amount of $30 million towards the Industry Response, with the remaining funding provided by the pipe manufacturer, Iplex Australia and participating builders.

    Why is the government paying anything? These are private businesses with a faulty product. Its their and their insurers problem? What have i missed?

    The Industry Response provides a practical and proportionate remediation program based on the number of Typlex 1050 leaks at a home: repairs and a ceiling re-pipe for one leak, a zone re-pipe for two leaks and the choice of a full or partial replacement of all pipes for three or more leaks.

    This sounds like a crazy solution to me, people i know are having these leaks, one had to move out for a few weeks while almost her whole house’s ground floor was redone. That was for a single leak, so she has to put up with the possibility of that situation two more times? There better be accomodation and inconvenience payments at least.

    Also how are these houses going to be insurable?

    All homes with Typlex 1050 pipes are eligible for the installation of a leak detection unit at no cost through an online registration system operated by Iplex:www.perthpbresponse.com.au(link is external)

    This will be okay, i hope they are actively contacting people as well.




  • Its a trade deal for military technology. Where the US already is in the superior bargaining position for re/setting terms, agenda, and prices.

    I don’t know why anyone in Australia, or the world, thinks thats in jeopardy. Even the most craven of administrations would love this, as far as i know, uncapped ‘deal’.

    At most the screws might be turned, but our unimaginative military leaders will always recommend we pay, or rely on the US’ decisions in regards agenda or terms.

    They will do this, because they seem to have no genuine ideas for builing our own defense capabilities. Their answer is always the same.

    A wise government would be directing companies around Australia to build up the Australian military industrial supply systen in the national interest. They should’ve given up the slower single large contract tendering processes when the Russians tried to decapitate Kyiv.
