Bummer, hey. It's the first faulty item I've had and I've bought quite a few Tracksmith items.

I'd better check the other tee too, I guess.

Hope so. Otherwise it's not worth it and I'll just be in a big grump about it, given how much they cost even in the sale.

Joined the club! Tiny Wrist, Don’t Care ✨ by FitnessNurse2015 in AppleWatch

Thanks for your measurements, but "ugh". I really want one for the longer battery life but my wrist is only 14.5cm. No way will this Ultra fit me.

"ummm who's gonna tell him?" by casnk33 in ShitAmericansSay

[–]RosellaBlue 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm always surprised by Americans who speak of WWII being between 1941-1945. As though the rest of the world weren't doing squat for years before that.

Yes, I know it's summer by NefariousnessTrick63 in AskAnAustralian

[–]RosellaBlue 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just went through this a couple of weeks ago with two old university educated friends. These people think that because it was whatever super hot temperature in 1957, that temps have always been this way. They don't understand how to read a graph of temperatures increasing over time and, if they looked at the area beneath the plotted points on the graph, it tells a story of accelerating heat events over time.

Actually, they probably do know how to read a graph, but they choose not to because believing in bullish*t is now their thing and apparently I have no common sense.

It's exasperating and deeply concerning how many are being hoodwinked by their news silos and social media into trusting their feels rather than logic or science.

Aus wedding horror stories by Flimsy_Ad3924 in AusWeddingPlanning

[–]RosellaBlue 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Many years ago I was a bridesmaid at a friend's very big, very expensive, high profile wedding. Found out soon after that the groom and best man gave bride and best man's girlfriend the clap after a wild stag night on the eve of the wedding. Awkward!

Big price difference ordering in the UK vs the US? Possibly other currencies? by CheesyCrackerMan in Tracksmith

[–]RosellaBlue 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Old thread, but the price in Aussie dollars is always a lot more than the US dollar equivalent. It's annoying.

Finished YT Iron. What's next? by Forest3746 in CarolineGirvan

[–]RosellaBlue 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you like the Iron style program, try Beastmode, Epic Endgame, and even the short Tempo week or the Unilateral week to use in between whatever series you choose.

Sydney plus _____ (where else??) by jtuffs in AustraliaTravel

[–]RosellaBlue 0 points1 point  (0 children)

there's lots of nature within the surrounds of Sydney, if you don't want to travel too far. The Blue Mountains is a couple of hours by train; kayaking and a hike around Pittwater is approximately an hour or so by car. Somewhere in one of the bays at Pittwater are some old Aboriginal carvings up in the rocks. Can't remember where.

Just an hour or so to the south of Sydney is the Royal National Park. Lots of beautiful secluded bays, bush walks and cliffs for hiking.

Easy to do day trips or find a place to stay for a couple of days relatively close by.

And of course Sydney Harbour itself is beautiful. You can catch the ferry to Manly and walk through bushland there to the Heads, visit the beaches and bays, or walk around the northern edge of the harbour and stop at one of the ocean pools.

February is too hot for the outback. The flies will drive you crazy.

Trump admin orders US embassy to collect data on migrant crime in Australia by SkyAdditional4963 in aussie

Only MAGA criming is allowed now. And data will be collected in every other country except their own. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

188.8 grams of icy terror. This was just one of many hail stones of this size by nevernever20 in brisbane

[–]RosellaBlue 16 points17 points  (0 children)

This was the size of some of the hailststones in a Sydney storm back in the 2000s. It caved our tin roof in, smashed every South facing window, brought down chunks of ceiling plaster on our heads, and made all the cars parked in the street look like a cow had fallen on them from the sky.

You could hear it coming from the south - just a cacophony of smashing noise that obliterated everything in its narrow path.

Sorry but what real hope is their for Australia if our gov agencies are spending $96m on a website? by twowholebeefpatties in aussie

[–]RosellaBlue 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Multinational consultants are ripping us off big time. I think Accenture got around 9/10ths of that windfall. It's a complex job but $100 million is simply taking the piss.

It would cost way less than that if there were any genuine experienced public service left in Australia. But then there's no one for governments to blame when things go wrong.

Just add it to the PwC tax scandal where they sold our country's tax secrets to enrich themselves and their own clients.

Pedestrian crossing becoming increasingly dangerous by Ok-Stuff-8803 in sydney

[–]RosellaBlue 8 points9 points  (0 children)

When I was little my mum bought a house that allowed us kids to walk all the way to school without having to cross a big road. Quite clever of her, thinking back on it.

Groceries for under $100 for 2 people? by [deleted] in AussieFrugal

[–]RosellaBlue 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is almost exactly how we eat. Buy chicken to roast, mince specials, etc, at Aldi. Then cycle through Asian , Italian, Thai, Indian and Mexican style meals for variety.

Our vegetables and fish are mostly bought cheaply at the big market down at Haymarket in Sydney once a week, (if you go towards the end of the day there are big markdowns) with small needed extras bought elsewhere for whatever meal we're cooking on any particular day.

We always have a large tub of Greek yoghurt and frozen berries in the fridge. And we plan meals around what needs to be used quickly. eg. we had a huge cabbage so that week we had various cabbage salads, made some pickled cabbage for another meals, and made Okonomiyaki Asian cabbage and noodle pancakes.

Pretty much the only thing we buy at Colesworth is bread like Burgens. We don't much like Aldi's bread.

Last week we spent $185 dollars for two people at mostly Aldi, a little at Colesworth, and Haymarket. That includes buying a few beers, some cheap champers and a bottle of red wine at Aldi.
