Can't have people keeping the truth if you're planning to rewrite history.

IPWEA (Institute of Public Works Engineering Australia) Bridge Guide. I'm a bridge engineer. That "proper care and maintenance" line is doing a lot of heavy lifting. Sure, you can make timber last that long, but it's maintenance-intensive.
Trouble is, wood has a much shorter design life and needs a lot more maintenance than concrete. Concrete bridges have a design life of 100 years, while timber will likely need significant refurbishment within 20-40, not to mention constant inspections every year with testboring at 2 year intervals (per AustRoads) and they're often more expensive to build nowadays with the price of timber.
So yeah, they can look cool, but there are far better things to spend our money on.
The law is now whatever trump says it is.
If you're not a property owner, you've always been left behind by Australian federal budgets.
Both the article and the summary forgot to mention HOW he was forced to scale anything back. I assume it's a court order? If that's the case, it remains to be seen whether it has any effect.
In what way is he your boyfriend? He doesn't sound like he is. Poly is really hard, and it's full of shitty people who use it as a justification for being shitty. Sounds like you need to do a whole bunch of work on yourself right now, and it doesn't really sound like either of your "partners" are good for you.
Fuck fetterman. Don't give that worthless piece of shit the recognition.
Couple of reasons in my experience. Cigarettes have a generous butt, and are pretty structurally sound, which makes them pretty easy to handle that way, and you can ash with a simple flick of your thumb. Joints often have no butt, or just some folded up but of paper or some other dodgy bullshit, so there's far less to grab onto. They're also often pretty flimsy, and fall apart easily. So holding them that way gives you better control and is more gentle on the joint.
I'm absolutely disgusted that we've announced we're just going to grab our ankles and back up for this. Similarly with Canada backing down on its electricity tariffs. All these world leaders bowing and grovelling at the feet of this imbecilic dictator are just validating him and it's only going to make him worse, which in turn makes everything worse. The rest of the world needs to unite and stand firm against trump.
Or, another idea - we stop subsidising private schools and only give public money to public schools? I don't think the private school down the road really needs a fifth auditorium while the kids at the public school are sitting in the library for science class because there's literally nobody to teach it. But I guess we don't want the poors getting educated, can't have my landlords little princes and princesses competing with the peasant class for jobs.
I swear if anyone tells me they're voting LNP I'm going to have a really hard time not just punching them in the face.
Fuck America. We don't want their tyrannical oligarchic bullshit here. trump and his hopelessly incompetent government think they can coerce other countries into doing whatever they want through tariffs, the rest of the world needs to start a new global economy without the US in it.
In the US right now we're witnessing the logical conclusion of capitalism and unless you're one of a handful of people it's not pretty. Unregulated capitalism needs to end or it's going to take us all down. We should be looking to emulate the democratic socialist countries of Europe, but it's never going to happen while we sit back and let rich people's kids rule our lives.
