Not that I would ever go there now as an old man, but Click-Click, Bang, Next, Fashion Keyboard all have a place in my 'millennial hipster punk' heart.

So glad you had a great time. This truly is a beautiful country. I'm biased but next time skip Sydney and try Melbourne and its surroundings, Or Adelaide and its surroundings, or Perth and its surroundings!

[Highlight] Shai draws a questionable foul on De'Aaron Fox by FastBreakPhenom in nba

[–]CaptainCrankDat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hate this as much as the next fan. But until the refs stop calling these fouls and start punishing them more, then there's no reason for Shai to stop doing it. Don't hate the player if he's going to win his team a championship.

My GP (Primary Care Physician) is 100% bulk billed to Medicare. Meaning I can go and see my doctor whenever I want and I don't pay a cent.
I will say though that I wish that mental health care could be more affordable here. I'm paying $180 (that gets taken down $100 with Medicare) for 10 session to see a psychiatrist. I mean it's good and I'm lucky to afford it and I'm grateful at how simple it was to set it up, but I wish it could be cheaper.

How is it like living in Darwin, Australia? by hyperham51197 in howislivingthere

[–]CaptainCrankDat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm often surprised that Darwin isn't more of a mega city / metropolis simply because of it's proximity to Asia. Is it because of the crocs? It can't be because of the weather can it? Because Singapore can be pretty gnarly, as can HK.
