Australia: The Lackey Country
Less nefariously: it’s a poetry slam, organised in their spare time and making no profit, and they don’t want to go to the effort and expense of getting a bank account, setting up a merchant account, and buying a card reader.

Yeah, that is very silly. The usual convention when you have a tie for a ranking is to skip the appropriate number of rankings afterwards. Probably deliberate so that more countries’ media picks up the story because their country has a high ranking.
Also, hats off to Henley & Partners for somehow convincing the media that a very straightforward ranking needs to be a brand-named ‘index’. They don’t even compile the data! They just take it from IATA.

Should just be able to do it with one rule of Disallow: /c/*@*
, I think?
I forgot that federated posts are just under /post/*
like local ones are. You’d have to block each federated post individually. Not sure if you can do that on each individual page? Certainly adding every federated post to the top-level robots.txt isn’t feasible.
Chas was still doing the Planet Extra Podcast while he was on break 😆
I highly recommend it, if too much detail is never enough: https://planetamericapodcast.libsyn.com/
🤮 What a fucking embarrassment that we still officially have a monarchy.
Fucking Setka. As always, folks, power corrupts. Unions need to be under the control of an active and engaged rank and file base.
It’s a developing story, but at least two are dead - the shooter and an attendee.
Yeah, fair enough. I don’t have any first-hand experience, but advice I’ve heard is that if you can get just one other committed person on board, you’re halfway there.
If you’ve got a local Food Not Bombs group, that’s a good place to find people that are into cooperation. There’s other community groups around that might have people who are interested or that are willing to provide infrastructure of some kind - men’s sheds come to mind. Otherwise, it’s worth a try posting on local Facebook groups.
There’s probably a guide or blog written around getting something like this set up. I should have a dig around.
Without knowing about how things are set up in your local co-op, maybe you could investigate setting up a two-stream system of ‘budget’ and ‘organic’. Or you could just set up an entirely separate co-op.
I’m thinking a Bundy Rum and Cola premix: https://www.danmurphys.com.au/product/DM_28730/bundaberg-u-p-rum-cola-cans-375ml
Death, incapacitation, and unforced resignation don’t count 😆
Image uploads are working, just not the thumbnail and embedding. If you click through on the link it takes you to the image.
Yeah, Chaos would be more bottom-right.
Craftworld Eldar are probably the best fit for the bottom-left, amongst the major factions.
Whey powder and aquafaba are also useful as substitutes.
There’s no place in the Labor caucus for someone who acts in accordance with their principles!
🎵 … is that the Chattanooga Choo Choo? 🎵
Trains are really unpredictable. Even in the middle of a forest two rails can appear out of nowhere, and a 1.5-mile fully loaded coal drag, heading east out of the low-sulfur mines of the PRB, will be right on your ass the next moment.
I was doing laundry in my basement, and I tripped over a metal bar that wasn’t there the moment before. I looked down: “Rail? WTF?” and then I saw concrete sleepers underneath and heard the rumbling.
Deafening railroad horn. I dumped my wife’s pants, unfolded, and dove behind the water heater. It was a double-stacked Z train, headed east towards the fast single track of the BNSF Emporia Sub (Flint Hills). Majestic as hell: 75 mph, 6 units, distributed power: 4 ES44DC’s pulling, and 2 Dash-9’s pushing, all in run 8. Whole house smelled like diesel for a couple of hours!
Fact is, there is no way to discern which path a train will take, so you really have to be watchful. If only there were some way of knowing the routes trains travel; maybe some sort of marks on the ground, like twin iron bars running along the paths trains take. You could look for trains when you encounter the iron bars on the ground, and avoid these sorts of collisions. But such a measure would be extremely expensive. And how would one enforce a rule keeping the trains on those paths?
A big hole in homeland security is railway engineer screening and hijacking prevention. There is nothing to stop a rogue engineer, or an ISIS terrorist, from driving a train into the Pentagon, the White House or the Statue of Liberty, and our government has done fuck-all to prevent it.
