THIS WEEK IN AUSTRALIA [87]

Ryan's face trying to work out what the posties and the "warning legs" pedestrian sign all mean is priceless! 😂

[@ryanreaction]

being confused is my bread and butter!

[@Jeni10]

Even when we had garbage disposals, they were in the kitchen sink. I’m sure no Aussie ever even thought of putting green waste down the kitchen sink! Green waste is from the garden and yard maintenance - pruned trees, grass mowings, hedge clippings, etc. That’s what goes in the Green bin.

[@tomagain]

Not any more. My council now encourages us to add kitchen food scraps to the green bin.

[@miniveedub]

@@tomagainmine too. The council issues bench top bins and compostable liners to make it convenient to collect food scraps for the green bin.

[@ryanreaction]

OH lol. yea I don't put tree clippings down my garbage disposal either.

[@Jeni10]

@@tomagain Yes because kitchen sink disposals have been disallowed after they discovered the cost of cleaning all the muck from the sewer system.

[@35manning]

Regarding the bins, we use automated garbage collection trucks, an arm on the side extends and two fingers with stretched rubber swing closer around the bin to hold it in place. If the gap between bins is too small, then the fingers of the lift arm won't fit and the driver either has to get our and move the bins or be lazy and get creative with his robot arm controls. Another thing a lot of people don't realise is the arm actually has a LOT of extension. Most people position their bins RIGHT on the curb, but they don't need to.

[@Goatcha_M]

That's a hangover from the older style trucks where it didn't have the extended robotic arm but just a hoist that could just about reach a foot out, but generally the Garbo riding on the back had to hop off and manually insert the bins into the mechanism.

[@namewithheldbygoogleforsec673]

where i live in Victoria, there are two people to pick up the bins. One is the driver, the other walks up the street checking to make sure bins are far enough apart, and he often moves bins closer to the kerb.

[@ronnycook3569]

Milo tends not to dissolve entirely in the glass (particularly when you use a lot of it), leaving a chocolatey residue on top , and because Milo is itself quite granular the residue forms a thick chocolate foam which is its own form of indulgence. So the answer to "how much Milo do you put in the glass?" is "How much do you want a drink, and how much you want a goopy, tasty chocolate snack?" You can do something similar with milk drinks such as Ovaltine, but the big grains used by Milo lend it a distinct texture (and make it a bit harder to dissolve in the first place.) This is particularly so if you deliberately under-stir your drink.

[@tevman09]

9:50 that post was actually talking about the fact that is now the official start to the Spring season ... meaning the magpies are out in force and they will swoop just about anyone that gets too close to where they are nesting, as it is now the breeding season for birds here in Australia.

[@TheCeleron450]

As the weather warmed up earlier this year to normal I found swooping season started a few weeks earlier than usual. Also means the snakes are on the prowl now.

[@ianmontgomery7534]

None of the maggies near me swoop and there are at least 30 of them.

[@gailstevens6831]

[@denisejames855]

Milo, when I was a kid, had to float on top of the cold milk in a large quantity so it could be eaten off with a spoon. A small amount was allowed to mix with the milk to drink! Milo was also eaten direct from the tin if Mum wasn't around.

[@endotherm]

You know you have put enough when the milk reaches saturation point and will not dissolve any more chocolate, but there is still some dry undissolved crunchy bits left floating on top.

[@TamerahLong]

Ryan, from my perspective, as a Council worker, you are "sociably aware" because you consider the person emptying the bins. If they're too close together he/she has to get out of the truck to separate the bin he/she empties from the others.

[@louisecowling8853]

His question was totally valid, I’m an Aussie and I was curious as to which was right. Thank you for confirming it for me.

[@Danger_Mouse_00]

Half full or more of Milo is the best method. Pour a bit of milk and stir and then did in and eat the moist Milo. Delish. ❤

People in the bush put spotties on the back to stop people using their high beams behind them. With no street light, the brights in your mirror is rvm blinding. People often forget they have them on when driving in the dark in the middle of nowhere so putting them on for few moments is a kind reminder to the person behind you.

[@davidjames149]

in terms of the best street names, there's one about an hour from my house off the highway to Sydney, it's called Curly Dick road.

[@Kayenne54]

Speaking of funny signs, one of the funniest I've ever seen was the one on an off-ramp, right next to other lanes crossing Sydney Harbour Bridge. Traffic could exit and go to the North Shore area. The sign was more long winded than me - *"Go Back. You Are Going The Wrong Way".* (facing any befuddled driver trying to head into three lanes of oncoming Bridge traffic).

[@RoseHagan-d6z]

Let us not forget "Ernest Wanke Road" in Melbourne

[@johnlaine2654]

Here in south western Sydney we are told to place our bins at a minimum 30 cm apart. That’s one foot in American…this allows for the grab arm to pick up without disturbing and knocking over any bins next to the one being picked up.

[@Linda_AUS]

This is from our local council guidelines in relation to bin placement. 'A minimum length of 2.5m for each set of garbage and recycling waste bins (per dwelling) with 300mm between bins'. Therefore you are correct in leaving 1ft between bins. 😊

[@GrethCunnington]

Black back is female bird btw. Milo is delicious on its own without the milk, so stacking it is quite normal. Balance some more on top after adding the milk.

[@ChristopherJewels]

A machine crane needs the space to lift the bins so the one on the left is correctly placed.

In Sydney suburbs we have recycling centres for glass, drink cans & bottles that have a 10 Cent refund return marking. The MyTomra machines are automated so you just insert each item and it tallies 10 cents per item. You can either print a total voucher, or get a digital receipt credit on your mobile phone. You can even donate the total amount per voucher. The 10 cents is charged as part of the purchase price so if you don’t put the empty container in the machine, you don’t get the refund. If it goes in the recycling bin, the manufacturer gets to keep the 10 cents refund and, eventually, once the recycling bin is sorted, the used bottle or can. So there is no need to put glass, cans or plastic bottles in the recycling bin any more. Just use it for paper, cardboard and other plastic items, like packaging.

[@ashleyward427]

Bins, the further apart the easier the truck driver can collet without tipping over other bins over, which will not be his problem, the land owner would have to clean up the mess. Social, experiment, in our area, red, yellow bin collected fortnightly, green weekly, put a red or yellow bin out on the kerb the night before on the wrong week, see how many people follow suit. Most times, people can't remember which bin due to be put out. Lol

[@judithstrachan9399]

I can’t. I always check what’s out along the street.

[@AzurePrower]

I have a fool proof plan. When it is green week, I put stuff in the recycling bin. If it's empty when I do, it means it is green bin week. Red gets collected weekly here though.

No, that’s a normal amount of Milo. I don’t get to see it in the glass because I pour the milk in first and leave room for the Milo.

Echidnas closest relative is the platypus. porcupines can shoot their quils out but the echidnas spines can’t eject. There are waaay more differences but don’t wanna go on forever, werid interesting creatures ✌🏻

[@trig1900]

Our local council has suggested a 1 metre gap between the bins to allow the lifting arm on the refuse trucks clearance when picking up the garbage/rubbish/reclyclables. This will effectively also prevent the lifting arm from accidentally knocking over the bin/s it isn't there to collect. It has also been suggested by the same council that failure to do so may result in the bins not being emptied. So, mine are 1 metre apart for pickups.... ^_^

The preferred gap for bins is somewhere between the two groups pictured. Just enough for the gripper arm to get in and grab a bin without knocking down the neighboring one. Leaving them too far apart makes it difficult in multi-residence blocks.

[@DriftingDreamsAu]

The bins on the left are the preferred way to line up bins according to our councils. Milo, that is the perfect amount.😁

[@myopinion69420]

the 'bush block' is not just to camp. its basically just a piece of land that has not been cleared or not 100% cleared. people buy them and build a 'homestead' on them (a term you're probably more familiar with). some people do camp on them, some buy them to ride dirt bikes, some use them for animals, some build cabins or shacks and some do nothing with them at all,m they just buy them when they are cheap with plans to build a home and never actually do it because they don't realise how expensive it can be to get power onto the property (i have seen some quotes of 100's of thousands of $ just to get power to a remote block). a bush block can be big or small, can be as small as a block of land in your average suburb or it can be many km to a side.

[@coraliemoller3896]

Bins far enough apart to allow the two arms of the garbage collection mechanism of the garbage truck to raise each bin. Too close together makes it hard for the operator to insert the arms into the small gap to grab each bin.

[@grandmothergoose]

Fishtailing high torque rear wheel drive vehicles (commonly utes and some high powered cars) from a stationary or slow moving position is an extremely common mistake made by people that haven't learned how to properly control their vehicle in a skid and impatiently want to accelerate faster than physics will let them. They hit the accelerator too hard, the back end throws everything it has at accelerating but the front is yet to get the message, so the back end tries to go around the front end which causes it to skid and drift sideways, but instead of easing off the acceleration and keep the steering steady, the incompetent driver tries to compensate by steering out of the skid which sends their rear end out even further, and they then panic and oversteer and accelerate in the other direction, which just makes the back of the ute fly wildly sideways in the other direction, so they brake hard which fishtails the car more, so their foot goes back on the accelerator, and from there they're swaying all over the road with no idea what is going on least of all what to do about it until they hit something that stops them. It's a case of ignorance, arrogance, impatience, and incompetence clashing in a spectacular manner, and I can't help but laugh at the driver every time I see it happen.
