I built my own strawblae house and have worked on half a dozen others. I have designed 3 award winning homes, one of them was strawbale.

Mice aren't a problem, the walls are sealed with clay (inside) and lime (outside) render, the mice can't get in.

Same with fire, the straw is tight and sealed, they don't burn. In huge bushfires in southern Australia a few years back, several families sheltered I a strawbale home as the fire passed.

Moisture not a problem if you have proper eaves and footings, which you will cos you design it properly, right?

Loads of massive benefits over brick or stick built.

I have no data on wolves sorry, but definitely dropbear proof

Happy to answer any questions.

Haha "entry level school homework Mac" Hahahahaha Sure thing Richy Rich

Linux users install chrome now...?

Also walkable towns and cities. Also public and community spaces. Also strong interconnected communities. All these things are bad for capitalism and the ruling class and their enforcers though so don't expect to see any change in the policy of dismantling communities

M$ can get absolutely fucked

You've just said the same thing but you don't understand.

Reducing that job from 18 months to a few weeks frees up workeder for other tasks. That means nobody gets hired to do those other tasks and people who would otherwise have good jobs have nothing.

It also means the people Stoll there can be easily coerced into working for lower wages because there's a line of people at the door who will happily work for less since they're currently unemployed.

That's what replacing workers means and that's the effect of labour reduction. It puts power into the hands of the owner of the tool instead of the people who use the tool to generate cashflow.

This is capitalism - the one with capital exploits the many without, all backed up by the exclusive right to violence of the state which is owned and run by the capital owning class.

Australian government has apparently sent messages to citizens in Gaza telling them to go to the Rafah crossing and they'll be let out.

Wonder if they'll take any responsibility for the deaths and injuries when Israel bombs it again...

Big ol yikes right there

Yeah, we're already there bud. Come on in, the waters fine

This is no different than every other capitalist enterprise. The whole system works on taking a public resource, claiming private ownership of it, and then selling it back to the public for profit.

First it was farmland, then coal and minerals, oil, seafood, and now ideas. Its how the system works and is the whole reason people have been trying to stop it for the past 150 years.

The people making the laws are there because they and/or their parents and/or grandparents did the exact same thing. As despicable and corrupt as it is you won't change it by complaining and no-one is going to make a law to stop it.

Time to start moving away from google services there mate. This behaviiur is only getting worse with time, and don't get me started on the tracking. There are plenty of FOSS apps to do pretty much anything you need to do on an Android device

Antennapod is a great podcast app. I have behind the bastards on there right now!

Is this what the kids pass off as a meme these days?
