I dunno I have an 80L bin and it’s got one bag of rubbish per week as a couple. Understand families have more waste, that’s why 120L+ bins exist. I can’t personally say I’ve ever been offended by a smelly bin. Waste smells. Make less waste, or give your bin a better seal. We could comfortably move our waste frequency to monthly if we had a bigger bin tbh.

It’s more that the state has no say in bin collection, that is a local council task. Every council has different bin collection cycles and even types of bins, as well as different waste management facilities etc. balanced against local requirements. Doubling bin pickup means either twice as many trucks + staff, or 24 hour collections.

Very optimistic (probably too much) for the discussion about algorithm laws. Even if it just sheds light.

I lost my best friend of ten years after he wouldn’t stop insulting and bombarding me for my woke opinions. He wasn’t like that before COVID.

I am genuinely worried about the upcoming elections here. Pauline is one angle, but we will probably have a coalition government with the Liberal party (they are our politically right party, Labor is our left).

The policies in my city that are winning public sentiment include:

1. Increasing the speed on a consistently gridlocked highway from 80 to 100km despite this demonstrably decreasing traffic flow (but I want to drive my Ute fast!!)
2. Increasing regular rubbish collection to weekly, from fortnightly, despite this being a local council issue. Why? Because my bins are stinky!!!
3. Increasing police jobs, despite there already being 1500 vacancies in my state. Too much crime!!
4. Racism.
5. Housing prices (my property value must go up, not down!!!) in serious - they are campaigning on making housing less affordable.

To make things worse, the Labor party currently in power recently changed leaders on account of a corruption allegation. The new leader is going and capitulating on a lot of things to try and stop the sway to Liberal/ one nation. Such as cutting the budget for the most influential and forward planning infrastructure development I’ve witnessed in my lifetime. An outer loop train line to connect all the radial lines. Should it have been done 30 years ago? Does that mean we shouldn’t do it now? For fucks sake. I’m pissed.

I’d like to see the media mix modeling data to really assess the ROP of these prayers. Cross check that against miracle count and we’ll really be cooking.

My carpents, please they need fixing.

And if you have time the plumbs under the sink are leaking.

FYI CoMaps is the new fork of organic maps, without the selling out.
