So we should just not wear pants until however long it takes to happen?

One thing I noticed about them when I was visiting Perth is how silent they are. When people are using them on footpaths, I as a pedestrian had almost no indication that there’s one about to pass from behind unless the rider speaks up. So turning or stopping on footpaths felt quite dangerous. Almost got hit by one when I was trying to walk into a shop and someone whizzed by. Maybe if they’re more common around Sydney I’d learn how to notice them better but that experience scared me a bit.

I tried using the Leaf for a couple weeks. It was interesting.

I guess I should stop interacting with Reels

I agree that it’s misleading. Especially since it started with the crosswalk light green and people were crossing, but it’s ignored and wait for the next green light, while the train video conveniently starts when the train is about to arrive.

I thought Mercs was a common way to refer to it? Or at least in F1, I’ve seen & heard Mercs a lot referring to Mercedes.

Hi, looks like you’re a LW posting to AZ like me. Not sure if you’re aware but currently there’s a 7-day lag between LW and AZ so your comment won’t be visible to users in AussieZone until about a week from now. I ran into that issue and ended up creating another account on AZ to use there.

Some rain

(Side note am I still getting a 1 week federation lag?)

Man that’s a massive lag 😅

Planning to go to Crescent croissants in crows nest this weekend since I haven’t been in a while. Anyone has a favorite croissant place?

Does anyone use air purifiers and would like to recommend a brand or model?

I’m looking for one for my home office so it’s a small room (16-20m) but it gets quite dusty with those light tiny particles that are hard to clean.

lol the one Starbucks I went to in Paris was one of the better coffees I’ve had unfortunately.

If anyone has any recommendations for good coffee in London/Munich, please send me some!

Yup. Had lots of whisky so far and it’s great haha.

I’ve been to France, Netherlands, and currently in UK. Across the board so far.

To me it mostly tastes just bitter and a bit watery. I mostly order cappuccino or flat white. I’m not saying I know much about coffee at all but it just doesn’t taste as good.

Been on holiday for 2 weeks in UK/Europe, and I miss Sydney coffee…

My partner and I are looking into Fair Trading, but haven’t contacted yet. Crappy timing we’re just about to go on holiday and the invoice and emails all just arrived in the past few days.

So… I’m having a problem between my apartment’s building manager/strata and removalist that helped me move in. Building manager says removalist did some damage (has CCTV footage of removalist doing something to the entrance door) and is charging me for the damage. I wanted to get it charged to the removalist but (of course) removalist is denying that whatever they did would cause any damage and refusing to claim their insurance for the invoice. Does anyone know who I can bring the issue to and what actions I should take?

Let’s do it! I’m not a creative person so it would be better for someone else to come up with fun titles haha.

As far as timing goes, I reckon Monday morning is good? Start the week with a new thread.

I’d prefer a weekly thread rather than daily. Keeping it up for longer would encourage more replies (I hope) from people who don’t check Lemmy every day
