There once was a far right pri*k
Who got hit on the head with a brick
As he turned to the lads
He took one in the nads
And limped away nursing his di*k

@SustainableTall Can the insulation make a house too hot in winter? Really? Open a window maybe instead of turning on the AC. Then when it is a little cooler work out what is increasing the heat????

@SustainableTall Wtf?

[HillThalisArch @HillThalisAUP]

Why planners should NOT prepare controls;
-floor to floor heights add up exactly to height limit - impossible
-what if ground slopes?
-roof construction with falls & insulation?
-slabs?
-inset balconies - waterproofing & insulation?
Planners know/care nothing about building!

We need to get *everyone* on planet Earth to grasp this most vital truth, and into the fight for the natural world.

No nature, no us. 🌏

If only we had detailed information telling us the climate is changing far faster than any time in human history...
...and if only we had an unambiguous physical explanation for why those changes have occurred...
...then some politicians would still deny any problem exists.

Tesla shareholders just approved a $56 billion pay package for CEO Elon Musk (net worth $200 billion) and cheered him at their meeting.

Just two months ago Tesla laid of 10,000 people.

We have lost our way when we cheer on corporate greed over regular people having jobs.

The "homemade limoncello" video is up there with the very best of the internet.

4 years later and I still laugh at it on every play.
