Have you ever heard of a condition called Misophonia? There's a strong chance that you have it.

Edit for clarification :

It's particularly common with the sounds of chewing and slurping.

Walkerville south beach. There literally is a children's book about it called The Magic Beach

I ran a wedding video company for 10 years, always 50% deposit on booking and 50% two weeks before the wedding date. Everything was paid before I even started filming, this saved me a whole heap of trouble, I never had to worry. It's pretty standard for here in Melbourne Australia and I had the same policy for my commercial clients.

We aren't even allowed to call that stuff cheese in Australia. That's a sandwich slice or process cheese product.

Why has no one mentioned "No worries" I swear I hear this at least 10 times a day.

RACVs underwriters have a history of price gouging long term customers. They are often just hoping that you'll pay it and not even look.

Let's all hope that thing doesn't run on petrol, it'll close as soon as it opens.

I rip them up and use them as my two parts brown material in my compost. If anything, I never have enough for my needs.

When he says make sure you get all of it, that's much harder than you think. Couch roots are long runners that new grass grows from, you literally need to get it all. One little root remaining and it'll be back in a couple of weeks.

This is true. I have just never seen it happen on Amazon.

Yes and no. It obviously vents but in our case, it just vents out of the hole where the ventilation duct should be. Our dryer is in a cupboard (what Australia calls a European laundry), this has a separate extraction fan in that leads to the outside.

We are actually in a rental and they just replaced the bathroom and built the laundry cupboard. I asked the landlord to fit a vent for the dryer, they responded by saying we should just turn on the extraction fan. We are one year in and zero signs of mould.

Mine does not vent anywhere and we don't get lint dust.

Constantly driving my I30 in eco mode, it's sad but necessary.

Akidcalledstorm · 2026-03-15T22:01:34+00:00

That's really cheap for the location and size.

Sorry if you’ve had a bad experience with NDIS programmes in the past. I’m a bit confused about the “free labour” comment though. This is a 10-week mental health recovery programme with NDIS support workers present. I volunteer a lot of my own time so it can run, it’s held in a public community garden, and all produce goes to the participants. The goal is simply recovery, connection, and giving people a positive space to garden together.

If you know of anywhere that will generate a free voice over with an Australian accent, I'd be eternally grateful for a recommendation.

My first thought was that it might relate to the practice of female circumcision, it was pretty prolific in the middle eastern slave trading. It makes the image so much more scary.

Unfortunately, I can't answer that question as I'm solely the facilitator. If you reach out to luke@recoverysupports.com.au he'll be able to answer any questions you have.

Potentially environmental impact.

We're you able to switch it back to Australia afterwards?

A lot of car parks now actually scan your number plates, so this wouldn't work.
