Not that simple, it would take a tanker of acid to kill this thing; it's over 15 metres tall and two people couldn't put their arms around the trunk, it's huge.

And the trees were here decades before the houses were built, if they die it can affect the moisture composition of the soil and cause foundations and driveways to crack.

Doesn't work that way here.

The neighbour is only liable if he's negligent ie: He knows the tree has borers or termites and doesn't treat it.

Otherwise, it's an "act of god" and the only recourse is home insurance.

Any branches hanging over are my responsibility, I can cut them and throw them over the fence, but I have to bear any cost.

I don't know how the rights are in Australia but in Germany you are legally responsibe if some thread goes out of your property and something happens. It's called "state liability": Property gives not only rights. It gives also obligations. You are responsibe in which state your property is and if some harm happens to an other person out of your property. You can even sue you neighbour, that he repairs your roof and cuts the tree down, that there are no more branches on your site. He can do that by himself, order a firm to do that or you order a firm and he pays it. It makes no difference. If he denies, to do or pay anything the punisment can go up to distraint, salary distraint and jail. But even if he goes to jail he still has to pay it afterwards. Normally you have an insurance for such cases. The other question is, if you like to live in a permanent dispute with your neighbour. ;)

That is why you do it at night, no one sees you do it then you didn't do it.

1st world problem. I am almost certain Comcast is throttling my YouTube.

The way it work is YouTube videos load very poorly, means while if I go download something from another website it goes at max speed.

Has the online button here for anyone else messed up and moved?

Button in now under the country instead of username and is inactive.

I suspect it may be Trump, but I'm not certain at this stage.

Mine is still the same.

Does it in both Chrome and IE.

Fuck those people, they still don't do shit although they acknowledges it.

I found a temporary solution, reducing visual cues reduces his barking, he still bark at other things, but hopefully this will make it more enjoyable for me to garden. I tried feeding it bison meat and he tries to bite me at the same time while eating my food, hypocrite dog.

At least the pug from my other neighbor appreciate me.

You have snails/slugs.

Give the dog peanut butter.

I'm serious.

It's REALLY good for them and he'll be way too busy trying to get it off the roof of his mouth to bark.

AND THEN, and again I'm serious, call the Humane Society.
Anyone who treats a dog like that is subject to have the dog taken away and given to someone who will actually take care of it. They shouldn't be allowed to have him.

Peanut butter is not "really good for them" and you have to be kidding if you think that will stop barking.

But not all peanut butter is safe for pets, and all dog owners should know about this potentially deadly ingredient. Xylitol, a sweetener used in many foods, including peanut butter, yogurt, toothpaste and chewing gum, is safe for humans but potentially deadly for dogs.You are correct and....nvm.

My family has used peanut butter to get our dog to eat pills.
What peanut butters have that ingredient?
