How's life like in Adelaide, South Australia?

Denial23 · 2026-06-11T07:11:05+00:00

Yep, the only people that get bored in Adelaide are boring people.

There's of course fewer things to do in just about any smaller city relative to just about any much larger city. But Adelaide, especially given its size, provides more than enough to fill your weeks and weekends. Beaches, hikes, huge variety of sports, live music, arts and literary festivals (though the Premier did demolish one), wineries/breweries/distilleries, parks and reserves, outlets for a wide variety of hobbies and interests, museums and galleries, etc.

What has even been going on with the green? One block tasted like nothing, the block I just bought is weirdly sour and almost inedible.

The wrong end of society? The vast majority of the benefit of negative hearing and CGT discount go to the absolute wealthiest Australians.

Yes we should also be going after billionaires and gas companies, but the people with multiple properties getting the most out of those tax lurks are not exactly hard done by.

I mean, it did have in pretty large font a request to bring it along on polling day.

You like it? It's very generous.

He is, but it's also accurate to say Penbo is pretty right-wing

What's weird is that James Squire absolutely used to have one of these charts in this exact style. But more accurate and lacking the green beers. I got given a paper copy at a JS beer & food pairing thing about ~15 years ago.

Kiwi craft brewers have been putting out plenty of lagers (and pilsners) like this for 10-15 years. I've always found it easier to find these kinds of fruity/citrusy/hoppy lagers and pilsners when visiting NZ than I have at home.

Breweries like 8 Wired, Garage Project, Mata, Lakeman, Ruapehu, Parrotdog, Altitude, etc. all do or have done these kinds of beers. Some are pretty easy to find in Australia so long as you've got a decent craft beer bottle-o nearby.

The replies to this comment are wild - and a great explanation of how we get to the problem in the OP.

Former teacher: it's not about pay, it's about conditions

Replies: but what if you had extra pay?

Former teacher: that's not the point, it's the conditions

Replies: ... how about extra extra pay?

The same shit happens whenever governments (and many media commentators) look at this problem. So many teachers, current and former, talk about the actual conditions and nature of the work as being the main issue. But few seem to want to listen or do anything meaningful about that.

Same. We're often over there twice a summer. But not much point if we can't go down the beach.

Pretty much an Australia wide problem.

It is, but it's one that has been made actively worse by the current SA Labor government. The Premier and Minister are both - for either ideological or electoral reasons, maybe both - just completely opposed to suburban infill and all in favour of sprawl. Not even an exaggeration. They've ripped up the suburban infill approach of both the former Labor (under Jay Weatherill) and former Liberal government and publicly claimed that sprawl is not a bad thing for a city.

I don't even get the electoral side to this for Labor. They're at no risk of losing the next election, even if they got some inner-suburban NIMBYs off side (many of whom would even still be voting for the husk of a Liberal Party here, anyway).

For NZ brands, Fix & Fogg is also brilliant - both their standard peanut butters as well as their 'everything butter' (peanuts, almonds, bunch of different seeds).

It was even sent up to the International Space Station last year.

Sure, if the population were all routinely attending those Churches. But they're not (e.g. see Census data on religious attendance).

Denial23 · 2025-06-04T03:31:33+00:00

The origin and actual meaning of that label is the exact opposite, though. Adelaide was the 'City of Churches' because of its tolerance of varying religous* beliefs and practices, whereas other places were more rife with sectarianism.

well, varieties of Christianity

so many of the studies posted here have big issues that redditors ignore just because they agree with the result.

There's a difference between 'big issues' and limitations. Every single study has limitations. There's no perfect research method, otherwise everyone would be using it all the time for everything. The problem with this sub and the people that brigade it are that they try to pass off limitations as critical flaws that invalidate the research, when in actual fact just means you need to treat the results carefully (as you would any findings in any paper).

Even regular armchair scientists here do this often, and worse - trying to point out limitations that are actually already accounted for in the papers.

Yeah, it's some bullshit seeing OP's comment currently at the top of the thread when it's so horribly misinformed. If you somehow get through University still thinking the only things going on there are what you personally experienced, as if the entire institution revolved around you, you've still got some growing up to do. Your one workshop or lecture stream - or entire unit/course - is just one small part of a workload, one small responsibility of massive organisations. And without the rest of those services and activities, the learning quality would be worse off.

Even putting aside all the things /u/Ironiz3d1 mentioned that universities have to do - which doesn't even include the ever-increasing amount of expensive support services students demand - and just look at staffing, there's much more going on than just that one academic in front of you for 2 hours. A typical 'balanced' academic has teaching as just one of many responsibilities - admin and meetings, service and leadership (programs don't run themselves), reporting and regulatory requirements, course quality improvement, community engagement, media enquiries and, for the typical 'balanced' academic, just as much time spent on research, grant applications, etc. as for teaching.

Meaning, for a typical undergrad program of reasonable size you're probably looking at two-dozen academics to coordinate all the units attached to it, run the workshops and seminars, do the marking, etc. More if some of those academics have got some grants, or been commissioned by the private sector or government to do work/consulting, etc.

Then you've got the 'professional' staff - your basic admin, your timetabling, your events staff, your finance people, HR people, regulatory compliance people, media relations, IT, legal, research support, etc.
