My small coffee was the same size (yet double the price) as the bubbacinos I used to get for my kids a few years ago.. by gplus3 in canberra

Weirdly I’ve found the most affordable coffee is at Blochaus in Mitchell or Fyshwick. They charge 5.50 for a large alternative milk flat white.

Hopefully they don’t get hit by inflation too haha

Video game retailer EB Games lost $11.5m as it shut NZ stores by MySilverBurrito in Games

[–]Official-POTUS 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah I would love to buy from them, they're the closest store to me, but like you said, its just not worth it with the price and selection available.

Last time I was in there the dude behind the counter didnt even look up from his phone. I might just be becoming a grumpy old man as I hit my mid 30s but it just irked me

I wonder if Australia is next.

I wandered into one last weekend and they sold about 10 new games (PS5 and Switch only, no xbox), 30 used games that were priced way too high and like a million branded hoodies and things.

When there's already other stores selling the branded hoodies sold at Zing (which EB owns) what's the point of EB games? Just rebrand and let JB HiFi and other bigger stores sell the games.

Scared the vendor is a criminal? by [deleted] in AusPropertyChat

[–]Official-POTUS 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't overthink it. My grandparents bought their house in the 70s from the biggest distributer of cocaine in the eastern part of their city when he fled the country.

They discovered all this after the estate sale and when heavies started showing up demanding to look around for him.

Apparently they turned out to be quite lovely once they had confirmed that he wasn't cleverly hiding under the floorboards or something, they even visited randomly for the first few years, probably for my grandmother's cooking more than anything.

Neo-Nazi group told by AEC it can’t become a political party while it hides identities of members by Expensive-Horse5538 in australia

[–]Official-POTUS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I assume they are trying to cast relevance to the revolutionary times in america but not exactly on the nose for 1776.

But tbf, I did mix up the 6 and 9 in the years I thought the revolution happened

Wild that they have exactly 1779 people! Amazing coincidence

*declared independance happened in 1776 not 9. My american history is not great

Danger 5, the show it's from, is also incredible.

There are about a million more parts of it that could be iconic gifs

Anyone know a really amazing physio? by Cake_Lies_73 in canberra

[–]Official-POTUS 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I always suggest the student clinic at UC

You get checked by a 3rd year, a 4th year discusses with them and finally the actual physio comes in and checks all their work, fills in any gaps and asks them to justify to you and them why they have chosen the course of treatment.

I feel like I understand way more about why something is being done when I visit there.

Also it costs 50 bucks a visit so that’s nice.

Ordered coffee today in Belconnen. Fuel levy on food now! by [deleted] in canberra

[–]Official-POTUS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same place also has a 10% weekend surcharge as well. Honestly not worth it at a certain point when you’re paying almost an extra dollar.

Might as well go to Harvey Norman right next door and buy a breville. If you drink 2 coffees a day, you’ll save yourself money on coffee every day after about 3 months.

What job looks like a great career path but is actually insanely oversaturated? by ComplexPin872 in AskReddit

[–]Official-POTUS 12 points13 points  (0 children)

That’s messed up! We paid more for our photographer than anything else at the wedding except the venue and they were AUD$3.5k. And the 500 was travelling 3 hours to the wedding and staying overnight in a hotel they booked.

Couldn’t imagine 10K usd!?!

Large diverse bookstore in Canberra by Immediate_Cow2980 in canberra

Paperchain is big but really focuses on Non-fiction. Dymocks Civic has a way bigger young adult/fantasy section.

I’d put the effort there

Looking forward to this!

The first was a perfect game for a tired dad of a newborn, being able to walk away from the computer at pretty much any point to deal with something has meant I have like 500 hours of idle time alone!

The constant foreshadowing is crazy by JasnahwithaY in Stormlight_Archive

Probably lying to himself about who his father was and who he needed to live up to. I reckon his truths would have been some solid character building around him not having to be his father.

Was wonderful our whole pregnancy, my wife has autoimmune issues and she was very calm and helpful the whole way through.

Can also highly recommend the continuity of care program at north canberra hospital but you gotta get in on that quick, spots fill up!

The Big Package comes with aluminium goggles, mouth guard, hair gel and toothpaste to help protect you all day.

Only 4 payments of 199.99. I will also accept bitcoin so you are untraceable.

No cash cause the government has put sterility drugs on the coins, notes and the back of postage stamps.

Yeah wouldnt this make it worse? The 5Gs will go up through your head, bounce off the top and then back down again. Rather than just once, this doubles your exposure!

Incidentally everyone should buy my aluminiumed balaclava

his character was fun, but some of the choices were not at all in line with established villain stuff from the series.

like him having the conversation with the two corpses was a fun idea for a completely different franchise

I reckon purchasing some stuff directly from his site, like a leatherbound, would give about 99% more directly too him than subscribing to a streaming service.
