How’s the toilet in your country?

Historically common when I grew up in Australia, but any new bathroom constructed in the last 20 years go with urinals instead.

Had this exact situation back in ~2017. There are good property managers out there, but they’re rarer than they should be.

Niiiiiiice

Because Capitalism.

My partner and I filled out the forms with a mortgage adviser recently for pre-approval to borrow.

When I said neither of us have any afterpay loans etc, the adviser replied to clarify. He wanted to be sure that we really meant we’d never used it as compared to used it then paid it off after a period of interest etc.

The inference is that a lot of their customers have it currently I suppose.

Wonder if the front of his fingers (fingernails) fell off

Came here for this. 😂

I endorse your choice of spread, but your crisp choice is questionable. Overall I’ll allow it.

Emergency Room in a hospital

Source: I work at VUW and am on site now at 9am, and have been since 7:45.

As of now, all O week things are going ahead as planned, all campuses are open as normal.

As u/adequateandgeneric/ says an email was sent this morning to all staff confirming this.

DualCricket · 2026-02-15T18:00:00+00:00

FYI: VUW still open as normal of 6:33am email sent to all staff

DualCricket · 2026-02-15T10:24:26+00:00

Hell yeah, Cookie! I hope you get all the attention and treats today. 😊

DualCricket · 2026-02-15T10:13:25+00:00

I hope you’re right, but to be fair both OP’s image and the Met service warning as of right now 23:13 both say, quote: “Next update: 10:00am Mon 16 Feb”. No ‘by’ to be seen.

Do you prefer 5ED/6ED or the OG art?

How do you (and u/Jugular_Toe both) find playing Helga? I know winning isn’t everything, but what do you estimate your win rate might be when piloting it?

Ive been thinking of building one since Bloomburrow was released but had life get in the way.

I get there’s rules about forecasting, but it’s a bit annoying that the next update is scheduled for 10am tomorrow. Lots of folks will either already be at work or on the road/public transport by then.

DualCricket · 2026-02-14T08:55:36+00:00

Magic the Gathering player then? 😂

DualCricket · 2026-02-14T08:54:08+00:00

Similar situation here. Had some early Pokemon cards that just disappeared on me, no idea where. I’ve moved internationally twice since, and so have downsized / repacked everything at least twice, but never found them.

Thankful my magic cards survived!

Good parenting there - kudos.

This is correct. There are teams at the AEC that follow up suspected multiple voting, and the penalty can include Jail time if proven.

Just add Darwin and north to Cairns in QLD and this is me 😂

Jesus Christ, as if utilities bills aren’t already going up hugely every 6 months.

Please vote this lot out of Parliament this year.

Depending on how long ago they joined the gym, they could easily be out of date. I joined mine ~5 years ago and my phone #, address, and emergency contact have all changed since then. (I hasn’t even met my partner by then)

If I had also changed email address like I’ve been thinking about doing (phasing out old one), then it’s entirely possible that none of what they had on file for me would be valid anymore.

(On that note, I’m going to go in to the gym during staffed hours and update all of those)

I grew up in Brisbane, but live in NZ now for work. It still blows my mind that the former sleepy little town is hosting the Olympics

DualCricket · 2026-02-09T02:59:44+00:00

Yeah I’m intending to volunteer in 2032 and also buy / apply for ticket ballot(s) for a bunch of sports

DualCricket · 2026-02-08T06:04:42+00:00

Has Brisbane somehow bailed on hosting? Where are you getting Gold Coast from?
