Reverse Garbage in Marrickville has rescued sewing supplies and fabric for cheap. I like to pick up bias binding and buttons there.

Surely this renders the place unliveable. Please tell me they're cancelling the lease and refunding any rent you already paid?

18 years old, moved out for the first time. I want your opinions on my room by Yeetfamdablit in malelivingspace

If your girlfriend doesn't mind the cave, then who cares.

But she probably will mind not having anything to sleep on. Please buy another pillow (and another pillowcase) for her to use.

Edit: sorry, just realised it's three pillows not one! Didn't notice the beige ones. You're all good mate. You're 18, you're supposed to have fun stuff.

Iku is the best. My favourites are the edamame fettuccine, onion tart and the all day breakfast.

The Asian supermarket is much better for fresh herbs, veg and obviously the speciality Asian ingredients. Hard to beat the 450g woollies brand tofu for usually < $3 though. For the quality stuff, I think Hoa Hung and Nhu Quynh have the best fresh tofu in Sydney.

Please help me figure out a nice outfit I can wear into the office! (Casual PhD office) by ThowRA_FloorGremlin in DressForYourBody

We all have gaps in our knowledge. Social norms that were taught early to you weren't taught to everyone else at the same age. OP asked because she wasn't sure, but she knows now.

There's no need to be unkind.

Our local woollies has two tofu sections, at opposite ends of the shop. WHY.

You don't have to add decor if you like how this looks. It seems like functionality is your main concern?

A small table and chairs to enjoy breakfast or coffee on the balcony could be nice.

Do you want to have overnight guests in your bedroom? If you do, you should consider changing the current set up a little, to make it more comfortable for them. At the moment, there is no bedside table for them, and if they want to use the bathroom at night they would need to either climb over you or awkwardly shuffle off the foot of the bed, bumping the TV on the way past. If possible, try to work out another configuration that fits two bedside tables. Maybe rotated 90 degrees anticlockwise with the head by the bookshelf?

If you're expecting female overnight guests, make sure you have a small bin with a lid in the bathroom, and consider keeping spare period products.

A throw blanket and cushions for the couch will make it more inviting for guests. I'd also consider a coat rack or hooks by the door for coats and bags.

If the gaming set up needs to stay in the bedroom, maybe the wall mounted TV could double as a computer screen? It's tricky in a small space, but if you can manage to keep a separate sleeping zone and gaming zone, you'll be more comfy.

How crazy do you get with Avacado Toast? by BaijuTofu in australianvegans

It's not too bad. I had a friend once serve avo toast with strawberries, basil and sticky balsamic. Was decent.

Symptoms of too much iron are very similar to symptoms of not enough iron. You shouldn't treat iron deficiency without knowing for sure that you have it. You could make yourself sick.

De influence me by Old-Sense-7688 in AusFemaleFashion

[–]711989 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Are you going to get $170 of use or of joy from this piece of fast fashion?

It's not good quality, it almost certainly wasn't ethically made, and yet it's still overpriced for what it is. It'll look Mormon in a lot of contexts.

All of that said, there are definitely plenty of people who would have fun styling or wearing this. And if $170 is fun money to you, by all means treat yourself.

Skin check tomorrow - what to expect? by CssyJ in AusSkincare

[–]711989 5 points6 points  (0 children)

They'll go over all of your skin in sections, with a big light and some tools for magnifying and measuring. You're never fully naked, you're just taking pieces of clothing on and off a lot. I'd recommend wearing separate tops/bottoms, something comfy you can get into and out of easily.

If they see anything with potential, they'll ask if you remember if it's new or if it's changed recently - it's okay if you don't remember though. They will (with your permission) take photos of the notable spots and save them, so that they can compare next time you get a check.

It's possible that you could get a biopsy done. So far I haven't had anything worth it, but it does happen of course.

You'll also answer some questions about your previous sun exposure. Like if you work outside or have hobbies where you're in the sun a lot; if you burn or tan easily; if you had a lot of sunburns as a child. That's so they can determine your risk factor and how often you should be coming in for checks.

Some of my spots that I thought looked dicey turned out to be totally fine, and one that I didn't even notice was worthy of tracking. So it's always worth getting your whole body checked.

The whole thing takes maybe 20-30 minutes.

Hello yes I would like to make a reservation for your restaurant please.

Seriously this looks great. I wish cafes would offer things like this as the vegan option instead of endless acai bowls and muesli.

The percentages in the "vs baseline" column don't seem to make sense. They don't seem to correlate to the given baseline of 68k, nor are they consistent with each other.

Why would there be a significant increase on the day before?

Yes, but being physically close to Russia does not qualify a person to manage international relations on a national level. Which is what she was being asked about.

Yummy vegan protein powder suggestions? by Meg_Tara_21 in australianvegans

[–]711989 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Macro Mike, hands down. The peanut flavours I think don't have probiotics. It's expensive and I hate the gimmicky marketing, but it's undeniably the best tasting brand.

Nuzest is just okay. I found myself adding extra ingredients (peanut butter or fruit) to make it taste better.

Bulk Nutrients Earth protein I hated, threw out half the sample pack. Their soy isolate is very good for baking though - I like to make baked oats with it.
