OT but what an odd way to address a place. I know it's called down under but not everything there is back to front.


If I throw a pamphlet on the ground I have broken some city ordinance or law. If I blow it up so that nobody in the vicinity can avoid seeing it, then I'm all good.

Bizarre.

Trash is trash whether it's a piece of paper on the ground or blown up to billboard size.


that is a silly argument. If you put up a billboard on someone else’s property without permission that would be illegal. If you drop a pamphlet on the ground in your own yard that is perfectly legal.

In your perfect billboard free world, would you also ban signs outside of a business saying what is on sale? what about signs outside a private residence?

What kinds of property would be allowed to display what kinds of sign?

I could see telling government agencies they cant rent billboard space out on the side of the road, but if someone puts a billboard on their roof or the edge of their property I think it would be gross to stop them.


Billboards have been banned in Hawaii for a century ie. they were banned even before it became a state. Their are also billboard bans in Alaska, Vermont, and Maine.

To be clear I am 100% fine with billboard bans. I live in a billboard ban state and it's great. I was talking about the proposed complete ban of all advertising of any kind.

Billboards are banned in the state of Hawaii.

Don't blame them for the assumption based on 450 years with the mercator projection that makes USA and European nations look bigger than they are and African nations look smaller than they are.


USAID has been gutted, and yes, it was political.


Ask them nicely.


And if that fails, we invite them to an interview without tea and biscuits.


Anyone know if they flew over the site of the Apollo 11 lunar module landing?

Surely they'd do it just for the publicity and ability to shut up Joe Rogan and the other nutjobs that consider that landing fake.


Would it? Surely they'd just claim that this new company is themselves "in on the hoax".


No, we didn't fly over any of the Apollo sites for BGM1. We flew pretty close to the terminator line.


There have been plenty of pictures of older landing sites. Most of those people have a part of their identity tied up in contrarian ideas, and would find a way to call it fake, even if you personally flew them up to the landing sites to have a look.


Theres no level of evidence they will accept. They have thought terminating cliches for everything.


Rogan hasn't believed that for nearly a decade because he learned more about the physics of the Moon and the engineering of the time. Since you have an interest in truth and honesty, I'm sure now that you've been informed you won't spread this misinformation anymore and will do some reflection on how you ended up holding this view for so long past when it no longer was true.

Rogan has questioned the moon landing again just five months ago. Here is him having a conversation with Matt Walsh about it from episode 2204 of his podcast: https://youtu.be/xGoQcOIONVs?feature=shared


His wording is specifically "I think there is a less than zero chance that we did not go to the moon", i.e. he's not 100% sure but pretty sure we landed on the moon.


I think you are being quite generous to him here. He is not saying there is a non zero chance that it didn't happen similar to how there is a non zero chance your entire existence is the dream of a child who is about to wake up. He spends the next fourteen minutes weighing the supposed reasons for why it might have happened and why it might have not happened. Seven years ago he clearly stated that he believed in the moon landing. Here he is actually sowing doubts about the event.

Take it as you will. OP responded to another user saying maybe if there was fly-over video evidence it might convince someone like Rogan as clearly he is not entirely convinced yet. I think that's a fair assessment.


They did, they flew over the same set at Area 51 (/s???)


Or even better, he should just come over to your place, crash in your garage and spend his days teaching you how to make a game, right?


USD$0.30 to $0.40 per egg in Fiji.


Why so expensive in Fiji? I mean it's not that expensive, but more than I'd expect from Fiji, where I can imagine chickens and pigs are running around everywhere between the straw huts and palm trees.


Our producers don't have the economies of scale that yours do. Also, our chickens refuse to stay in their cages and lay eggs, preferring to spend all their time lying around on hammocks under coconut trees sipping pina coladas.
