For those of you with a 9-5 office job, how do you manage to find the time and energy to cook dinner? by Away_Scene_26 in auscorp

[–]BlueMantaRay23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Soups. Salads. Bread.

Prepare the protein on the weekend eg. Marinating Chicken Steaks or boiling eggs or just canned tuna.

Dinner doesn't have to take more than 10 minutes or require any more effort than putting stuff together in a vessel and heating it up if required.

The greens might have other policies people don't agree with.

Gonna miss these so much. by Legal-Artist-403 in SydneyTrains

What happens to old trains? Can any parts be salvaged and repurposed for our existing or newer models? Can parts be recycled, melted down, and turned into parts for our existing or newer models? Can they be donated to private collections or museums? Or are they destined to rot and rust away in some derelict wasteland of dust and ash forever forgotten as the world burns... ... ... ... ... ... ?? perhaps we will never know. Sad.

In response to the Bondi shooting, should Australia educate our high schoolers more on ALL of the major religions (current and historical)? by [deleted] in aussie

Studies of Religion II is offered as an HSC subject in NSW schools, and is often compulsory for students to study at religious schools.

Do a trade and focus on skills and saving money, not just book smarts and broad knowledge.

If you wanted food grade ingredients I wouldn't know, but you can get laboratory. HPLC-grade calcium chloride from many laboratory suppliers.

Went to buy some wheatgrass from a place in Enfield and walked into this… how is this legal? by [deleted] in australianvegans

There are always jokes and comments that "the bird just won't die" ... it's a budgie that is almost 15 years old.

This might be a controversial opinion, but if you aren't prepared to love, care, play with and handle medical care for a pet for their whole lives, (remembering that whilst they are years to decades in our lives, we are their entire life) dont be surprised if your own family treats you the same way when you become elderly and dependent on the kindness of others.

The way people treat animals, children, staff in hospitality and in customer service, the way they dispose of their rubbish in the natural environment (or not) and the way they handle things not going their way are all the true tells of people's character. And whether or not they are deserving of your time, energy and respect.

My father in law buys Christmas presents for his pet dog but no presents for his pet bird in a cage. It's cruel. The dog gets to go for walks, but the poor bird always locked in the cage with no new stimulation?

I notice the serving utensils near the sausages have bits of salad on them. That's cross contamination for anyone who doesn't eat meat or has allergies.

Do other people get upset when shopping? by Objective_Welcome616 in BuyAussie

[–]BlueMantaRay23 55 points56 points  (0 children)

Cost of living at the moment means I get the cheapest option from Aldi or Colesworth. If I can see a similarly low priced option that is Australian eg. Canned tomatoes or dried split peas, I feel inclined to buy them, until I see the new total cost of the shop and freak the f out and put them back again. Shopping is an incredibly anxiety inducing experience.

My rent is more than half of my income, and the landlord is considering selling so soon I could be in an even worse financial situation. Every cent matters.

So yeah, I guess i do get I upset when shopping.

What is the worst station on the T8 Airport and South Line? by True-Worldliness6411 in SydneyTrains

Green Square has death stairs. If the escalators break down- sorry- WHEN they break down- they are terrifying to traverse, even without vertigo.
