I recently went to a funeral that was contracted to a celebrant. I guess they do all the things religious organisations would normally manage. The Wikipedia page has a bit more info.

Edit: The funeral was managed by Tender Funerals. These are the services they offer. I'm not sure they consider themselves celebrants or if they have celebrants who work with them. Looks like I may have confused the two.

Edit 2:

Tender Funerals can help with the ceremony as little or as much as you require. There is no legal requirement for you to use a celebrant –anyone can take on this role. If you require this sort of assistance, we can help. We suggest you supply your own flowers and encourage you to create whatever you think would be the perfect goodbye for your person.

Eww too old.

Knock knock.

This is uncharted territory and we are essentially running an experiment. For this reason we’re not licensing or open sourcing the game’s assets - the art, music, and IP will still be protected for the time being. But all of the code that makes the game run will be made public. We have not chosen the exact license under which we will be open sourcing the game’s code, but it will be one of the OSI’s approved open source licenses.

Which Green Party?

Liberal Bruce Fanjoy topples Pierre Poilievre in Carleton

The way back to affordability is 10-20 years of marginal house price growth, to enable housing to come into line with long term trends. Fluctuations that are radical pose radical problems for politics. So they opt for the sustained. This is what I think Australia's (and others) future housing comes down to the (continued) debasement of currency through broad (stealth) taxation.

Is this what you support or this you're description of current policy?

I suspect voting preferences will swing around the late 30s quite bad :-/

Pardon?

NewPipe can stream PeerTube vids. Even though this one is a YouTube vid.

State by-election in Feb.

Speaking of unforgiveable, do you know why Labor didn't stand in Prahran earlier this year?

I move a motion to rename Capricorn Coast to Cooker Coast.

Unpopular one incoming. The economy of Earth (for whatever the term "economy" is worth here) operates more similarly to an idealized form of capitalism than it does to communism. We see that private property canonically exists and can be acquired or relinquished through personal transactions. The Picards own Chateau Picard, Joseph Sisko owns Sisko's restaurant, and they're free to operate them as they see fit.

Those are not necessarily features of a capitalist mode of production.

I found this recent video by Puck Nielsen pretty enlightening.

Only until they are extinct which shouldn't be too far off now.

That thing looks the killer in a horror movie franchise.

It's juvenile. If it survives to maturity it could grow up to six meters.

According to this piece this young colossal squid is about 30cm.

A century after its discovery, scientists capture first confirmed footage of a colossal squid in the deep

Maybe one day they'll get a recording of a mature and much larger squid.

the study design is very dodgy

How so?
