Apple is the Patriot
Au contraire, a patriot would not enable the State by funding its superfluous wars, banksters, and State cronies.
A patriot would do what he can to starve the Leviathan monster, not continue to feed it.
A patriot would help productive fellow citizens avoid the State's plunder altogether.
A patriot doesn't define "fair share" by whatever random numbers some self-serving politician and other government kleptocrats come up with. And only victims of the "public" education would think that patriotism is somehow equated with the desire to subject fellow citizens to such arbitrary theft extorted through violence or the threat thereof.
A patriot would pay its fair share of taxes.
Tim Minchin Vs. Cardinal Pell (child abuser protector?)
Wait for it...
http://www.abc.net.au/news/2016-02-17/priest-says-tim-minchin-song-hurting-abuse-survivors/7178606
"A Jesuit priest and human rights lawyer has accused Tim Minchin of endangering the integrity of the royal commission into sexual abuse after the comedian penned a song describing George Pell as "scum" and inviting the Cardinal to "come home and frickin' sue [me]".
Father Frank Brennan has warned that turning the commission into a "laughing stock" runs the risk of derailing proceedings.
"I don't think it's altogether helped by having songs about a key witness, calling him scum, and a buffoon, and a coward and that sort of thing before the commission does its task," Father Brennan told ABC's the Drum program.
"Because if we turn it into a laughing stock, then the big losers ... will be the victims themselves.""
Yeah, it's Minchin's song that's disturbing, not covering up child rape...
Kuhn SW 4014 Bale Wrapper
The idea of the wrap is to stop rain from damaging the hay, so I doubt it would let moisture out either. The bale shouldn't rot though, since part of the process is that you only bale dry grass (or you risk a haystack fire).
The other way of storing grass is to cut it green and ferment it into silage.
I found that oddly mesmerizing.
I do wonder about the wrap. Does it allow the moister out or would the bail develop rot?

You see here in Australia even the daddy-long-legs catch deadly snakes?

Don't know if it's okay for ants though.
Dogs can have peanut butter?

There was only the plume of smoke the first day - http://www.abc.net.au/news/2016-01-11/industrial-fire-sends-thick-smoke-across-melbourne/7080002
Somehow I managed to miss it, despite my office having almost the same view of the city that the thumbnail of that video has, and despite living 1.5kms from the fire! In my defence though there is terrain in the way. It is a 10 minute and 5 km drive, but that's because there is no direct road... have a look at the map, https://goo.gl/maps/PxVBFJWaLA92 and the problem is the western ring road, 400m to the south of the fire.
Can you see the smoke http://digg.com/video/melbourne-tire-fire

Thanks
Bandit is a steer, so screwing the cows isn't a concern, it's really all about the money. It takes about a hectare of grazing land per animal (see http://www.mla.com.au/Extension-and-training/Tools-and-calculators/Stocking-rate-calculator for the gory details) if you raise them outside, compared to a few square metres if you keep them chained up.
I'm a little surprised that this is allowed in a civilised country.

Why Wine Snobs Are Faking It
Food is 50% psychology. All those Wine-Experts are just people dumb enough to trust their brains.
And this comes from a guy who sold Cassismousse as Mousse au Chocolat in a blue lit room and got away with it.
Your brain lies.

Likewise.
I did find an article in the Sunshine Coast Daily which explained some of his problems - http://www.sunshinecoastdaily.com.au/news/music-video-offers-funny-new-take-campaign-lemon-l/2837465/
It's the dealer who is responsible for either rectifying the faults or giving him a refund and not FCA (although they are subject to a separate ACCC order and are dragging their feet to the maximum extent allowed by the law).
Hope something good happens, at least the Australia law does seem to cover some things Canada doesn't

It does look like it should be covered by the normal law though - https://www.accc.gov.au/consumers/consumer-rights-guarantees/consumer-guarantees

I hope he gets enough money from the youtube vid to buy a Toyota
Sadly this seems to be the norm in countries without lemon laws. CBC Marketplace, a Canadian undercover reporting group released a very similar expo on this type of treatment in Canada.
I Made A Mistake I Bought A (Lemon) Jeep
He bought it in October 2013, when the exchange rate was $1 US = $1.0569 AUD, so that $A60,000 was really $US56,769.
Cars here always cost at least twice as much as in the U.S.
I don't see how FCA could wriggle out of the fitness for purpose clause of the consumer protection law, but then the ACCC aren't always that helpful - https://www.accc.gov.au/consumers/consumer-rights-guarantees/consumer-guarantees
I thought $60k was high, then I realized they were in Australia, so I asked Google to convert: $60,000 AUD = $42,804 USD
still a lot for a lemon, sucks to be him. Definitely go for a Toyota next time.
Obama defends Black Lives Matter. It's real.It has a history
His half remembered quote was from Anatole France, from his 1894 book Le Lys Rouge
(In its majestic equality, the law forbids rich and poor alike to sleep under bridges, beg in the streets and steal loaves of bread.)
