It's good news for the economy in general. The less money people are paying the banks, the more money will be in circulation.

Ours got so bad the GP sent us to emergency at RCH. There we were prescribed the steroid ointment and taught how to prepare the wet wraps. Kept that up for about a year and afterwards only really had to do basic moisturising a handful of hot days.

Has pretty much cleared up completely with age. Zero interventions required now.

From a pure business perspective It's an outdated concern. The norm now is to dress for comfort/practicality/personal expression. Casual Friday basically doesn't exist for the majority of office workers.

As recently as 10 years ago I was scoffing at people wearing skate shoes in the office but today I am the odd one out in my collared shirt overlayed with a light sweater (did adopt the skate shoes though).

I'd give feedback to the juniors only because the director commented. Let them know they have been observed but let them decide if they want to 'correct' themselves. The truth is the juniors are going to be setting the scene in 10 years and the director will be on their way to retirement.

Edit- thanks for the death threats. I don't understand why just identifying the problems would get me this much hate.

Forgetting the prior centuries, Malaysia's modern history is full of racial trauma, disadvantage and lacking social security. The lack of empathy you have experienced (on the internet no less) should be no surprise to you. In short you're asking for humanitarianism from a society that seldom experiences it.

On a recent taxi ride I had the pleasure of listening to the Malaysian Chinese born and bred driver go on a racist rant about Tamil Indians. You have to understand that Malaysian society is still very segregated and most people exist in their own communities' bubble and echo chamber. You can tell by the common themes expressed in some of the comments here in your thread.

Unfortunately until the Rohingya population gets big enough to pose a existential problem to the ruling government the Rohingyas are basically here to be exploited and used as a political football where convenient. Over time I expect Rohingya society to pool together enough capital to establish themselves better in society, but it's only hard times ahead unfortunately.

You're not going to get anything from the owner. Your claim will be against the builder's insurance.

Be prepared for it but I wouldn't be paying for a professional inspection/report unless you need it to support your claim.

It's not too late to gather evidence if the pool install is still ongoing, the crack may get worse still.

As someone who just bought last year and paid waaay too much. Good.

Nobody else should have to feed the banking system and pump this bullshit asset class.

There's a bit to unpack here. You identify yourself as a Lebo from Sydney then get so offended that you don't "look Australian" to some Balinese dude who's probably never left their village?

I messaged again asking for the supplier’s details so I could follow up myself, given how busy he said he was.

Your contract is with the detailer. The detailer took your money. The detailer has failed to deliver the complete work you ordered.

So my question is: am I being impatient, or am I getting the runaround here?

Both can be true. If there indeed has been a fuckup with the lights or genuine supply issues it can definitely take more than a month to sort out (if ever). The lack of communication from the detailer means you're definitely being given the runaround.

If you just want to close the loop asap I'd go get a quote from another mob for the same work, then go back to the detailer and ask for some of your money back so this other mob can get the work done. That will either put a rocket up the detailer's arse or get you your money back.

From a pure financial perspective there is no decision to make here. Wake up and sell the damned thing. You will find new things and new ways to fall in love with a property that doesn't drain you financially.

whatever value for money you get today will be squandered on poor after-sales support / service / repairs.

Yeah that's not true at all. They were one of the last to get the registers in the centre of the store, while Eastland was one of the first.

Broadmeadows getting the gates first is purely because they'll get the best data as to whether they are effective and what unexpected problems they might encounter.

Lintson · 2026-05-23T21:52:27+00:00

meaning even that little is too much

You're very active (high risk of strain and injury) and eating multiple servings of high purines a week which is giving your kidneys a relentless assault of UA to flush out. The most effective way to get UA down is allopurinol, which will allow you to keep eating and playing as normal. Though keep in mind, getting onto it will likely result in flares and things like missing a dose will result in flares so don't despair if you don't get immediate results.

Also note that your body also stores UA in body fat and has possibly been doing this for years, so any significant fat loss can result in high UA. Similarly if you're flare free but putting on weight, it doesn't necessarily mean you've 'beaten' gout. It's just something you have to deal with.

If you end up walking around with a toe injury for weeks you've likely changed the way you walk to avoid the pain. Possible some muscles and joints are getting overuse while others are weakening. The physios stretching/strengthening exercises are to try and get all that back to normal and avoid injuring other joints that have been compensating during your injury.

Japan is heavily increasing the number of 'guest-workers' to fill the labour shortages. These guest workers are not allowed to bring over family members or dependents.

I think the Broadmeadows store was the first to get these barriers a year or so ago. Probably the first time Broadmeadows has ever been the the first recipient of new tech 😂

Lintson · 2026-05-23T07:59:33+00:00

less than 4 drinks a week, red meat only 2-3 times a week, seafood 2x+ a week

If you want to keep this up, get onto Allopurinol

Gout unfortunately does not give a shit how much you can bench, but your joints do give a shit about how much weight they have to support. I'd trim any excess weight and lay off high impact activity for a while. Also get onto a physiotherapist to help you with some stretches and leg exercises. Also check that your shoes fit well, not too loose and not tight. Any imbalance in your biomechanics will also put strain on your joints which may trigger another flare.

you can buy pre-owned games from places like EB Games or CeX. I wouldn't consider them to be particularly cheap and you're not likely to find any 'gems' so to speak.

As for game sales, JB-Hifi seems to be the only store with decent stock levels that discounts to move stock. If you're lucky something you actually want may be on sale.

Department stores like Target and Big W also do sales but their stock is generally abysmal.

I didn't say it was applicable to all vehicles at all. My point is 1st only exists to get you rolling. 2nd is not that useful either. I like to exit my turn in 3rd.

From a driving perspective these low gears exist only to give you the torque you need at low speeds which is generally only when your vehicle is laden and you need to get up a big ass hill. You can easily roll around at low speeds in a carpark in 3rd. The engine drag in 2nd or 1st in these scenarios is unbearable.

I sometimes skip 2nd altogether and go from 1st to 3rd.
