One very annoying this if you ever use seek for recruiting, even if you put "Australian residents only" on it you still get dozens of "you apply for my visa and I come work for you" type emails.

Just no, we need someone living locally that can start in the next two weeks, NOT someone living overseas that wants to come live here, that has no experience working with large animals.

The receptionist just emailed out the "thanks, but no thanks" emails to the unsuccessful, one of the replies from one of these overseas ones was "I need a job more than I need oxygen, what is wrong with this world".

Nutrition Australia has updated its iconic Healthy Eating Pyramid for the first time in 15 years in an effort to combat growing nutrition confusion and risky fad diets by [deleted] in australia

AFAIK it is in the correct food group (someone please correct me if I'm wrong, I know cattle nutrition well, not human, 4 "stomachs" are fun).

Interesting note, if you type carbohydrate corn (or pasta, for example) into Google it gives a value per 100 gram and a dropdown of similar things. I'm using Chrome, if that matters.

Corn is a FRUIT.

Corn (or maize) is a cereal crop, not a fruit. Fruit is a fleshy food that contains the seed. The corn kernel is the seed.

I always thought of it as the heavy distorted bass line you get from cars with overcranked subs driving around pumping out techno.

Exactly this, those cars going past "doof doof doof doof"

How is it a step backward?

$185,000 a year is roughing it!

Wasn't that figure in reference to dual income somewhere in inner Sydney?

Keeping asthma symptoms in check could prevent large number of deaths, study finds by Gambizzle in australia

Aw shit, that's a tough one.

So basically too much lung use in a short period of time is the trigger?

Finding your triggers and eliminating them is also something that needs to be looked at. I used to be on a preventer, used ventolin every day when I was riding to school.

Moved out of home where there was no pet living in the house, my symptoms have basically vanished.

Can't own a inside cat or dog though. =(

My friends' dog found some bones. Are they human? by RenoStache in needadvice

[–]CowsWithGuns304 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A bit of description of the area they were found them in may help. Could be cattle bones.

Get them in the dirt too - all research is pointing to an overly clean environment free of the dirt microbes we evolved with as being responsible for most allergies in children.

Dunno what happened with me then. Raised on a farm so i was into more dirt than your average kid. Asthma and allergies are a pain. =(

Infants May Not Be Able To Process High Levels Of Bullshit In Paleo Diet, Experts Warn by AstroBoy80 in australia

This guy is even suggesting not to feed breast milk and feed them liver infused food which is dangerously high in Vitamin A.

"There appears to be recommendations not to use either breast milk or an approved infant formula, but to provide other foods to infants under six months of age and that really is a big health risk," Professor Yeatman said.

"There's been discussion about a beef broth with mashed up liver as part of a recipe. Now something like that might be appropriate for an older child, but under six months of age, really the best option [is] breast milk."

Breast milk is as natural as you can get in the human diet... its just mad to suggest otherwise.

But it is normally for kids who have no money who want new camping equipment or such.

This is incorrect. We get them at our workplace as a few of the staff fund raise through the year for relay for life.
