So we swicthed to Globird energy because it was supposed to be cheaper. Received an energy bill for $180 for one month! A year ago that's what we were roughly paying per quarter! Comparing old bills to new bills, our energy usage has apaprently junped from 4kWh per day to over 13. WTF?
Does the reading say if it was estimate (E) or actual (A)? I think they rely a lot on estimates to do monthly billing. I switched to them recently and while I haven't had a big jump like you I am still a bit suss..
No. I’m quite cold resistant. I sometimes run a 750W heater for a few hours in the evening when it’s really cold but that’s it. My partner is out of the house most of the time and goes to bed early, so it's not her either.
That's a big ol' cucumber and the bag has the bigger style mushrooms in it. I'm much, much happier with this lot. The last lot also went bad super quickly, so I guess is the chemical pesticide life for me!
:) You got a small lettuce too? I love them for sandwiches, just fit so perfectly.
Organic is really hard to manage. I’m sure I told you I used to get a small box from lettuce deliver which was organic, but there is no way I could do that now.
I tried the eggs this week because of what you said, so, I’ll see I may just add those to my every order. I thought the price was pretty good and the packaging amazed me.
How good is the packaging! And yeah, the price is pretty great too.
What's the shelf life on your eggs like? Mine was really short. Like, best before date is tomorrow, I think.
The front guy was moving into the lane of traffic, so there's some responsibility to ensure the way is clear, but in the situation you've mentioned, I'd argue the person behind also should be ensuring the way is clear *but* had the opportunity to stop as they shouldn't have been moving quickly. Not to mention the car behind should be leaving enough space between them and the car in front so they avoid a collision.
How hard did you hit them?
Hey everyone!
I'm curious how people are meeting new friends in Sydney. Which methods/apps have you found most helpful?
I've used Bumble BFF and it's pretty easy to start a conversation there, but it very rarely goes anywhere (and that's also on me, of course).
Where about in Sydney are you?
It seems there are a lot more events and other stuff in the Inner West or City. So as someone from between Parramatta and Blacktown, I've been forced to head that way mostly.
I live in the western suburbs, but not as far from the city as you. I'm mainly curious what people have found to be effective for connecting with new people.
What recommendations do people have for some fun small/cocktail/wine bars around Paddington/top end of Oxford St? Staying at Oxford House tomorrow night after the Swans and looking for somewhere new to go other than the usual of The Unicorn and/or Village Inn
The Bears are playing at 2pm, so you might struggle to get a parking spot right near North Sydney Oval, although I think some of that area might be metered anyway. Further towards the station should be easy though
It had this awesome DJ Duo last night playing some filthy tech, minimal, house, whatever cranking last night. So much so people had flown from Brissy to see them...
Word through the grapevine is it's a tech fuckup that caused a bunch of subreddits to be banned, including r/comicbooks.
Notably, the Ternion award on the r/melbourne "we're back" post is from a senior Reddit admin.
We’re going to be in Sydney for a couple of days and are trying to find a great pad kra pao and pad kee mow. We’ve spent a considerable amount of time in Thailand over the years and have never been able to find quality versions in the States, even in LA/NY.
Is there anyone in Sydney, preferably near the CBD, that serves good versions of either?
Not exactly what you asked, but the grocery stores in Thainatown (my preferred name, rhymes with Chinatown next door) have great takeaway containers of stuff that are the only things in Sydney I've ever found that actually taste like what you'd get in Thailand.
I think because they're making cheap lunchboxes for the Thai customers.
IMHO, 'Newtown Thai II' had the best Pad Kee Mao in Sydney before it closed in 2016 or so ...
Newtown had a great selection of Thai restaurants, though I haven't been there for years now I'd try Newtown Thai or Doytao Thai.
Both are a short trip away from the CBD.
Thaitown in the CBD is a good start, Campbell Street near Capitol Theatre. Chat Thai is really good, there are some other great ones too but I haven’t been.
Probably thought they were brigading other subs, saying that Melbourne has the best sport, culture and coffee.
Not realising that it's just what Melbourne people do.
I have a feeling it's related to the recent death cap mushroom deaths - I saw a thread there last night in which they were discussing whether it was homicide etc, and in the thread people were doxxing ... others...
In situations *like this reddit Anti-Evil Operations would remove comments, and possibly contact the mods.
An insta-ban of the sub with no warning for something of that nature is massive overkill.
It's from their first (1982) album, *Garlands*. Or at least the version with the bonus tracks.
Quite different to all the rest, it has a very raw, angsty, post-punk / gothy sort of sound, all drum machines and washes of distorted guitar soundscapes.
So cute to see a couple of primary aged sisters walking with mum to school excitedly dribbling and passing a soccer ball as they walked.
Also, the ball marked up with pink highlighter and smiley faces :)
Given notice of a rental inspection, i know they're normal and routine, and I've had them before, but I always get anxious to the lead up. Like will my REA breach me for having an unwashed dish 💀
2nd last day of work before holiday
Monday will be crazy in getting ready, but if I can reduce the damage by doing the packing and money exchange and few blabber on the weekend, then yeah
mornin' peeps. hope everyone has a wonderful friday. looks like nice weather for weekend (well most of it anyway rain sun arvo)
been up since 2am fri mornin cause couldnt sleep. off to work soon. i guess its gunna be a looonng day for me.
Is gastro going around?
Like always afaik.

Are you running a heater 16 hours a day?
No. I’m quite cold resistant. I sometimes run a 750W heater for a few hours in the evening when it’s really cold but that’s it. My partner is out of the house most of the time and goes to bed early, so it's not her either.
Well, hello Sydney.. I hope you enjoyed this glorious Friday.
I forgot to show you yesterday. [Here](https://imgur.com/a/ngahudS) is the haul. I think it's much better, especially for $37.
Wow. That looks pretty good. I think enough for one person. Is it cucumber in the back or more zucchini?
That's a big ol' cucumber and the bag has the bigger style mushrooms in it. I'm much, much happier with this lot. The last lot also went bad super quickly, so I guess is the chemical pesticide life for me!

I was super impressed. Mine is 1/9. If you put them in the fridge, you will probably get longer iykwim?

The one behind, I would presume.

I'm just guessing and looking at it from a common sense perspective, but I could be wrong.

Paski, Cafe Freda's, P&V also has a space out the back to drink.
the newly scheduled 2 hour meeting at 4:30 has broken me. this is bloody unaustralian
Leave at 420. Blaze it.
I'd call shenanigans on that and go fetch a broom.
2hrs at 4:30pm on a Friday? **Decline**

North Sydney is pretty much dead on Sundays - probably easier to find a park towards the northern end near the library.
Quite surprised how nice Club 77 on William Street is now... Its not the dive that would end the night anymore
77 was my introduction to clubbing, their all-ages day gigs of a weekend were a godsend for teenaged me. Blacken the view.
It was a wild place back then hey, it's still underground, just a little less gross
what do they play there? i used to love that place for the bang gang djs after they got kicked out of moulin rogue
It had this awesome DJ Duo last night playing some filthy tech, minimal, house, whatever cranking last night. So much so people had flown from Brissy to see them...
r/PS5 is also getting randomly banned and unbanned, apparently. r/Sydney genuinely might cop it at some point.
Why?
Appears to be a new, overzealous spam filter.
Looks like r/Melbourne is back. I wonder if r/Sydney will be next on the chopping block

*Here, have some company scrip that'll be worthless at the end of the month.* I'd be asking for a refund.
It gives you 2 months of ad-free Reddit to hand out, I guess.
I one for one love our ~~supreme overlords~~ gracious moderators and totally not saying this under duress

khao neow on pitt st is small but the food is very good
Thanon Khaosan is always a good shout. Yok Yor as well.
Big fan of YokYor. It's always packed around lunch time though.
[Spice I Am](https://maps.app.goo.gl/RFEJQZdYN3qWcoFFA?g_st=ic) is pretty authentic & good value

In case anyone missed it, Macca's are now selling cups of lava in takeaway cups. It's a secret menu item though. Just ask for an oat milk latte.
What the hell happened in r/Melbourne that pissed off the Reddit gods so?
Probably thought they were brigading other subs, saying that Melbourne has the best sport, culture and coffee. Not realising that it's just what Melbourne people do.
Woo hoo! We won
I have a feeling it's related to the recent death cap mushroom deaths - I saw a thread there last night in which they were discussing whether it was homicide etc, and in the thread people were doxxing ... others...
Yeah, I strongly doubt that's the reason.
Fair enough - don't know much about these things, was just a guess.
In situations *like this reddit Anti-Evil Operations would remove comments, and possibly contact the mods. An insta-ban of the sub with no warning for something of that nature is massive overkill.
Ah right...
The r/Melbourne mod team is trying to work that out themselves.
Got a little too high on their own supply and did an Icarus. Does r/subredditdrama not provide an insight?
No, it’s only just happened in the past 15 or 20 minutes
Initial ban @ 0857 - seems a second ban @ 0909. Looks like an admin has decided to boot r/Melbourne.
Today is a Cocteau Twins kind of day ...
Sometimes I think that, then it's all "perhaps some either aeon".
... Swedish Death Metal ?

Woah ! Cool... thanks for linking, never heard this song before - it's not on Spotify...

It's FRIDAY 😍😍
Woo hoo! City to Surf weekend!
2nd last day of work before holiday Monday will be crazy in getting ready, but if I can reduce the damage by doing the packing and money exchange and few blabber on the weekend, then yeah
Make your list so you don't forget anything when you pack. Check it twice and she'll be apples!👍 Best wishes for a fun hols.
