Ah, that makes sense.

Frustratingly, your images aren't showing up for me. Neither the one in this post nor your recent !perth post. All I can see is the title & text.

Ah, that one might be a different, its a link to the certificate, not a screenshot. I also entered it in the link field not under 'upload image'. Don't know if those details would make a difference.

It grabbed the image and displayed it for me when i's making the post though.

I think the random shelf stocker was behind a milk crate desk, so all very official. :P

https://aussie.zone/u/philip this is my favourite post of the week, please update as details emerge. I want to know how the saga unfolds. Will the ACCC get involved, will Head Office respond, will https://aussie.zone/u/philip go nuclear contacting their local Parliamentary Representative.

Thanks for tldr. I really didn't want to read that.

Its so bad over east. I remember visiting family when i's young, seeing these huge cavernous 'clubs' half filled with pokies, other half a buffet style dinner hall. I thought where is the RSL bit of this place?

Ah yes batteries. Makes sense.

A fire took out the recycling centre?! Woah! Thats crazy because i assume the building had some fire precautions in place, maybe not sprinklers, but surely hoses, fire extinguishers. But it still got out of control.

An old work friend had been in one. I's interested so asked lots of questions. I got few answers, and got the sense there was one investor, and the other people didn't learn a great deal or contribute in a meaningful way, but of course their funds, and decisions were voted on. It was a legit investment club, and she apparently gained a little money.

I thought the point of those things was to learn a bit about the market and stock picking, have some fun, and hopefully make some money along the way.

But if the reality is one knowledgable person leads, directs, and influences the group without any learning component then its almost certainly not better than an ETF that tracks the market, and any added value gleaned from a better personal understanding is lost.

So whats the point? If you just want to track an investor, i think etoro does that. Quiver quantitative tracks US reps and senators which for some unknown reason often beat the market... ... ..

Yeah, massively energy intensive. I say these things with the implicit assumption that they'd use renewables. Sorry my bad, i should just say that.

I've previously read reports from the desal plant in Cockburn, where the water corp seem to have managed the discharge quite well, as far as salinity levels in the Sound were concerned.

It would remove their collection as negative publicitiy

The key thing about Coca Cola at the moment is they're taking from the scarce underground water resevoirs around Perth for bottled water at bargain basement prices. We know that most, not all, of these aquifers are drying out. So this is the negative publicity coca cola has been getting this year. And rightly so, if you ask me. So a desal plant would remove that issue, as well as give them greater control over their own production.

Oh, haha right, i thought it was some meme i had no idea about.

My bad I's in a rush and wrote it wrong, its ESG, Environment, Social, Governance. A catch all term for broadly talking about ethical investments.

No shame in taking inspiration from the greatest, most excitingist, and amazingist show on earth.

I reckon Cabbages would be a great business idea in a Solarpunk kinda world... just sayin.

Lol, not really. I actually think the best thing for Coca Cola to do is set up their own desal plant. Or more likely do a joint venture with the State government on one. It would remove their collection as negative publicitiy (if they consistently match or beat standards of water corp), and in a very small way be net positive for on land water.

The way I see it this State has no choice but to massively ramp up desalination and irrigation infrastructure throughout the bush and wheatbelt. I can't see any other way we have to slow and maybe hold off the cumulative effect of the falling rate of rainfall across the southwest.

If that means Joint Ventures with water users like coca cola, then it should be considered.

 

Does anybody remember these little guys? I don't know if I do.

Query over Striker $$s (heraldonlinejournal.com)
 

The Freo Pilot service has been around for nearly 200 years, thats sooner after colonisation than i'd have guessed.

I'm guessing the Kwinana facility will still have a pilot service, but theres no way the docks down there will be as tricky for the container ships as Freo is.

 

Sounds like a really good spot for a primary school.

Housing right next to the primary school and the rates associated with them, plus $4 million... sounds like a fair plan to me.

Zempilas is politicising a wet fish for the attention here.

 

Why are we so obsessed with our lawns! Now we're laying grass in the Ocean! Lawn culture in the country is out of control! The Gobernet needs to take action against these Horticultural extremists! /s

 

F.o.K.P. Case against & Online Form (their "survey")

What a joke!

I don't know what i think of the issue itself, but the Friends of Kings Park group should be ashamed of themselves this morning.

Putting an online form on their website, and having essentially their network fill it out is not an gauge of public sentiment. And undermines the legitimacy of good faith attempts at data gathering.

Restricting sections of the botanic garden to provide high-priced accommodation for a select few does not align with this vision.

This is one of the examples of leading the respondent in their preamble.

By leaving it as an online form, and taking no demographic information this "survey" is no better than online product reviews and as such should be ignored by the government.

The Gov now probably need to employ a company who actually know how to conduct a survey to gauge real public sentiment, whatever that may be.

 

Good day for lunch in the sun.

 

4wd and mountain bike riders would be a natural set to do classes like this with as well.

 

Might be a bit late for a doco now, but this ones an interesting watch.

Never really thought about a whole community living pretty much full time on the islands, but there ya go.

 

I reckon its time for a change to the way we build homes here. Our current method seems slow, wasteful, and needlessly costly.

 

Well done ECU!

Sounds like we have the beginnings of our own home grown F1 team with these students!

 

There's something smelly going on here.
