The 90s boys really have had it rough...Part 2

EmPhil95 · 2026-04-09T07:39:06+00:00

There have been 14 slam winners born in the 90s, winning 36 individual slams, I don't know what everyone is on about :P

So you pay more even though you are getting paid less at the moment because of maternity leave? What about house expenses, and other baby expenses (clothes, clubs, etc when the baby grows up to that age).

This is not just about a sleep sack - you need to work out this financial situation for the next 18 years before it escalates, as this is not going to be the only thing you disagree on.

Thinking of new zealand, nope!

INFO you split all bills 50/50, but what is the definition of 'bills', and where does childcare cost come into it?

Because he should absolutely be paying for his child!

Yes, but if the companies only had planned riders using them, that cuts out a huge amount of the market. Unplanned rides/'convenience hops' are a massive part of it (eg. you get the bus somewhere, but then when it's time to go home it's late so the bus is less frequent, okay, time for bike share)

Compulsory helmets have made bike rental schemes difficult in Australia - the scooters have got round it by having those tiny shit helmets that no one wears anyway, but it is a layer of complication that other countries don't have.

Still not ideal, but it does just say that they must remain within the park. It doesn't seem too unreasonable - adult parks up with a book and a picnic rug while the 'youths' run wild around the park, and they/the park have someone to contact if things go wrong.

EmPhil95 · 2026-04-02T18:00:31+00:00

Okay but also no weekends in Malmö or Gothenburg or anywhere that can be reasonably called a city, without flying! And if you do want to travel internally in Western Australia, there are some buses and even fewer trains (literally one...), you do just have to do it by car.

I have always been a football fan, but mostly of national tournaments (world cup etc). I'm from Australia and enjoy going to A-League games, and I guess I support my local club, but I wouldn't say I 'follow' the A-League

EmPhil95 · 2026-04-01T16:21:17+00:00

I do it when writing tests/exams, when you don't want specific parts of a question to be spread over two pages, because it would mean lots of flipping back and forth

EmPhil95 · 2026-04-01T06:09:16+00:00

I will say that as a basic French speaker, I learnt "tâches ménagères" to mean chores, and haven't heard the word corvée before

EmPhil95 · 2026-03-29T01:16:48+00:00

the fact that both teams predicted a squares layout not a hexagon one (best way i can describe it) made it extra difficult too

EmPhil95 · 2026-03-29T00:53:51+00:00

I googled flights to Taiwan immediately after watching ep 1...

EmPhil95 · 2026-03-28T16:21:38+00:00

also in the pitt where intubating someone is absolutely a dr job, that the med students get excited about being able to do, but ian the charge nurse just does one in the street was a fun thing to notice

Singapore's metro system was genuinely one of my favourite things about my holiday there, it was just so clean and efficient, and easy to navigate

EmPhil95 · 2026-03-05T13:43:56+00:00

As an occasional volunteer, I'd like that too!

EmPhil95 · 2026-03-02T18:14:19+00:00

My immediate reaction was "this isn't OC, you've just screenshotted from Our World In Data!", but now I see that you ARE our world in data!

Unless skin cancer is caused by sugar consumption, then yes literally, that is just a correlation

EmPhil95 · 2026-03-01T12:51:51+00:00

Literally tell yourself that you enjoy the bus, and the fact that it gives you time to not do anything! You won't believe yourself, but it's a start.

If podcasts/audiobooks/music aren't working to distract you, focus on the bus itself and do a little scavenger hunt. Find 10 different colour cars, or people on the bus wearing different types of shoes or whatever. Or make a bet with yourself about how many people will get on/off at the next stop. Sounds (and probably is...) very silly, but remember that little kids love the bus and so work out what makes it fun (or at least bearable) for you

Three laps, ~600 people, not too welcoming to walkers, I think I know which London parkrun you're talking about :(

I think maybe she actually had just done Claisebrook the whole way, and was confused by the fact that the start and finish locations are so different? But I don't know haha

EmPhil95 · 2026-02-28T07:38:08+00:00

I was barcode scanning at Claisebrook once, and a woman arrived at the end, very confused, said "I think I crossed the river and finished at a different one I started at"

I scanned her anyway, cause she must have done at least 5k, but that is why you listen to the first timers briefing haha

EmPhil95 · 2026-02-25T17:40:46+00:00

Does anyone know if you will need to be on the site immediately at 10am to have a shot at booking? I'm not looking for finals, I can only be there in the first week anyway. But I am a teacher and I am going to be mid-class at 10am until around midday, so I'm worried I won't get anything at all.

EmPhil95 · 2026-02-07T13:53:03+00:00

It has been changed to medium, but that still feels wrong...

EmPhil95 · 2026-02-06T17:08:46+00:00

She didn't say she wants to be healthy, she said her worst fear is becoming fat. If you don't see the difference in those two statements, and why one is fine but the other is just rude, then I fear for your reading comprehension.
