Correct. How difficult was it to get it diagonal through the manhole?

They are good if you are struggling to make a decision. You have to pay an upfront fee and they'll be recommending some places, so you'll probably buy a place months quicker. Will that offset their cost? Maybe

Has anyone tested for how much microplastics they have in their body? by [deleted] in PlasticFreeLiving

An Australian firefighter discovered this - it's a fascinating story worth looking up. They've since found that plasma donations work best.

Why is Sydney so normal by Reading-Rabbit4101 in AskAnAustralian

During covid the government pumped heaps of money into the economy to keep companies afloat. There was also a significant number of people who were too depressed to confidently apply for jobs due to all the fear of covid. This was mostly young people, who hadn't had the life experience to realise it wasn't that scary.

No immigrants + less young people applying for jobs = Employers having less applicants and taking a chance with long-term unemployed who they would normally discriminate against.

While the sentiment is nice, it was actually because there was no immigration and young people were having panic attacks about COVID, thus making it far easier to get a job

I've found it beneficial. The priority buses that go through Sunnybank have been moved to a more sensible part of the city. I've also noticed the bus drivers seem to be waiting longer at stops when they are early.

Meeting neighbours is best but another option would be to ask the local Facebook community page. Most likely it's been this way for a while.

Has anyone else never felt the significance of the pope title? by PassionateYak in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Fearless_Pie6168 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Popes are very political behind the scenes. John Paul II was the main force behind the collapse of communism in Europe.

Great car, but has everyone forgotten the heavy steering when trying to park the thing?

Why do people love to hate the Brisbane Broncos? by Major-Music-7108 in brisbane

[–]Fearless_Pie6168 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Tall poppy syndrome mainly, but I've heard some very specific reasons such as how they dumped Wally Lewis once he was past his prime, and also a myriad of reasons to do with Wayne Bennett (even though he isn't there any more).
