Why is it that professional martial artists are allowed on planes? Shouldn't their arms and legs be restrained being lethal weapons and such?

Shoosh marty351! Don't you realise the government wants to introduce a policy to ban hate speech?

Why is it that no matter what I've been up to and how prepared I try to be, I always feel rushed on a Sunday night?

Maybe Saturday night’s “swipe left” crowd are reviewing their options after a dry spell?

Why is it in 2020 and 2021 we were fed daily death statistics but now nobody talks about increased numbers of cardio vascular deaths?

If you are relating this to covid then fear is what controls people, no need to do that now.

Why is it in Debbie Does Dallas we never get to find out if the young ladies managed to raise enough money to go to the Texas Cowgirls try outs?

Why is it, coffee vans at car shows etc, which are usually operated by mum and dad, a family affair, charge the same price as a coffee shop who have to pay electricity, rent, staff wages, super, clean the tables, wash the cups etc?
Some fuel for the generator, license for the van and cash pocket money for their kids.
I'm sure there are a few more costs, but nothing like a franchise shop.

why is it that men invaribly blow their nose then proudly inspect what they produced

…Autoliv inertia reel seat belts with balls-in-tube pyrotechnic pretensioners, have about half a dozen different plug versions?

I don’t believe these are “timed” or staged like airbags, they just go bang and lock the reel - so what is the reason?

Why is it the fringe dwellers of society claim that the genitals you were born with do not determine your gender, but then the same people support modifying your genitals to change your gender?

They are around along with a few others stealing oxygen from real people.Have a friend who has an aquaintance who is so religious he has himself convinced that the world didn’t exist until that fairy tale was written

Also, I believe in God.

I think the point being made is everyone has their beliefs, right or wrong. Live and let live.

For the record, I'm neither for or against both topics mentioned in the last two posts.

Speaking of “G_d complexes” - Telstra!

Nearly every other utility or subscription service has a simple online “Pay your bill here” webpage for situations where direct debit isn’t used and you want to instantly effect payment. Not the Big T. You either need an online identity (more data for them to leak

) or use B-~~delay~~Pay or go to a Post Orifice etc and wear a $2.50 surcharge atop the card payment tariff.

Why is it that it you pull up at a KFC hundreds of kilometres from the ocean and there’s seagulls in the carpark?

Why is it the weed and feed seems to have given some new shoots but not much effect on weeds. For real the base is dead but still growing and flowering

I also dug up the pavers in the lawn down to the clothesline I never use and filled in but seems about a bag short

Fully explained here -

Why weed and feed isn’t your best option -

https://lawnsolutionsaustralia.com.a...20is%20Dicamba.

"The active constituent in Weed n Feed is Dicamba. The rate of Dicamba present in Weed n Feed bottles is very low and isn’t very effective on most broadleaf weeds (hence the very cheap price of Weed n Feed) and you will usually need 2 or 3 applications to get a result.

Dicamba cannot be used on Soft-Leaf buffalo lawns, as it will cause the lawn to die back and turn yellow. This greatly limits the products use in the domestic market as a lot of home lawns in Australia are soft leaf buffalo."

Weed n Feed adds very little nutrient value to the grass. The fertiliser component mainly contains Nitrogen and Iron, which will give the plant a short boost of green colour, but usually contains zero Phosphorus and Potassium, so it does virtually nothing for the root strength and development of the plant. Which means it is hardly a fertiliser at all."

The key thing with these types of products is the short-lived effect, which in turn means you buy more of it. Also, because these products are sold through Bunning's, they water it down so much, catering to the lowest level of intelligence to prevent a lawsuit if someone kills their cat or sets fire to the lawn.

These are what we recommend, killing the whole weed rather than just the foliage -

If you have buffalo, you MUST use this one -
