‘I’ve never watered it’: how an Australian groundskeeper achieved the world’s ugliest lawn
Neighbours might look askance at Jarno Coone’s unkempt yard, but the local birds, bees and bats aren’t bothered by the aestheticsPetra Stock (The Guardian)
A brief history of Aboriginal Mourning Day/Survival Day/Invasion Day protests.
No, they're not a new thing.
Australia Day originally held on 30 July 1915 as a fundraiser for WW1 soldiers.
Within three years of the Australia Day date being moved to 26 January in 1935, there were Aboriginal protests calling for equality: youtu.be/cqwrqwCtNL8?si=ggNxoL…

Something very nice happened at work here in occupied #Minnesota. A colleague with whom I've only interacted a few times (and who works in a different department) came by to check on me (one of the few POC in the department) and asked if he, an attorney, could give me his number in case something happened. He has other legal contacts and is part of an #ICE rapid response network.
This was a surprising and small but extremely meaningful gesture. :) So despite everything, I can feel hopeful...
@SrRochardBunson oooh especially because moisture would really gum it up
So if we got leaf blowers that can blow large amounts of corn starch or flour into the masks of undesirables, they'd be forced to take off the masks to breathe
A then you can hit them with chili powder, cinnamon, etc....
@SrRochardBunson this and recharging fire extinguishers with paint seem like something people should be doing
What about grease? The try to arrest someone, grease them up so they can't grab them lol
😂 "like a greased pig or greased lightning! Olive oil is ironically(?) #antifascist 
Battery powered leaf blowers are #Antifa superweapons
@SrRochardBunson J-Lube in a super soaker?
Oh, the imagery you just planted in my brain... LOL!
But, yes. You can mix it to the consistency you desire, and a little goes a long way.
I think* our recipe is 5 gallons of water, a container of Joy, and tablespoon-ish of J-Lube. It needs to rest a bit for the powder to hydrate properly and mix.
*This is from memory, so don't take it for gospel and the recipe makes bubble solution for ginormous bubbles. It is very slick/slippery.
@SrRochardBunson jury will let you off if they arrest you and charge you if you use the Nickelodeon Gak defense
"Your honor, Gakking is hilarious and not a threat to the officers"
"Case dismissed"
what about a hopper for corn starch that feeds into the blower?
A 3D Printed fitting to facilitate that?
in the open air you get a pretty impressive, yet brief flash of fire.
Not harmful, but will scare the shit out of someone who brainlessly fires a gun in the middle of it.
And I believe cornflour is worse/better, because its finer and will both mix with and hang in the air easier.
Mythbusters covered this years ago, any kind of aerosolized carbohydrate can make a big fireball (they used coffee creamer to test the myth). Not recommended to try at home.

Ahh yeah, if you're trying to, right? Not accidental? I remember how hard it was for then to catch aerosolized gas vapor.
It's a cool trick I learned in high school. Take a package of powdered creamer like you'd find at your table at the diner. Pour the powder in your hand without anyone noticing. Light up a disposable lighter. Make a theatrical magicians wave over the flame a few times, and then drop the powdered creamer over the flame. It looks like you magically made a fire ball. It would burn out quickly and cause no harm with such a little amount.
