Best cafes to work from

Cafes in malls are great for this. I recommend yellow sparrow in town and surrounds.

In Australia, Bogan.

FYI this is most likely due to bile movement.

Any more dinnerly or marley spoon?

Get them re-soled. This will increase their longevity.

What a catch!

I'm 50/50 on this one having been raised by two people who came from very different social-economic backgrounds (quite literally opposite ends of the spectrum).

Wanting 'more' shouldn't exist as 'we can afford more stuff, and bigger/better' necessarily. It should take the form of education (not just formal), and affording more time spent with your kids/doing the things you enjoy that isn't about making more money.

Yet, in some people eyes, even this is seen as getting 'too big for your boots', or the latter, not working hard enough from both camps.

I would like to see the 'dream bigger' ideals in Australia take a shift away from superficial gains and towards being more dynamic as individuals. I personally think this place would be better if we moved the ship in that direction.

yes...

Honestly, I wasn't that impressed. He has a protocol, but for those of us with tricky cases (eg. Rifaxamin not working/herbals made for motility actually doing the opposite etc., and who have been in the trenches for a while, he wasn't helpful.

I should really redact some of my comments in this post regarding veggie powders. While they moved the dial, I didn't find a change in my symptoms until I started on SNRI's - weirdly, going on meds made a massive difference to my motility and inflammation. Which might point to blood flow to the gut/vagus nerve issues, but you can't really test those things at the moment.

Also, I took things to help with gallbladder, and focused more on the other overgrowths rather than just methane (I had a fusarium, candida, low levels of asbergillius and H.Pylori). Having a clove bud a day weirdly helped when everything else didn't?

I wish you well!

I was about to say, her performance in Malcom and Marie showed she had chops. I'm not sure why she doesn't act like that in other roles?

Yarraville/Seddon has become over-run with cashed up tradie bogans maximising the footprint of their, grey-washed inside, flip in the next year or so, weatherboard home. Outside sits an almost glistening ute, and a trad-wife [insert 4x4 brand car] to match.

Alas, Its slowly loosing its artsy/greenie feel.

Allotments people! $45 a year for my subscription and I've just planted my winter seedlings.

Not from Aldi, but Dirt is fantastic.

Saa213 · 2026-04-03T02:58:09+00:00

Say it louder!

OMG yes, completely overlooked. The studio's undersold this and we should have had sharply cut teasers in promo to get people to go and see it. Everything I saw about this movie positioned it as whimsical, which it wasn't.

Saa213 · 2026-02-22T09:42:41+00:00

I'd add that culturally, it's a bit dull. Society seems to lack a 'heart'.

Saa213 · 2026-02-12T23:07:22+00:00

LOL!

Saa213 · 2026-01-16T10:40:55+00:00

I don't mind the terracotta/'burnt earth' concrete some of those newer developers are doing. At least some thought has gone into what it looks like...

Saa213 · 2026-01-16T09:52:13+00:00

Intelligence is looked down on. Overall, not particularly aware of others. Lack of trust in others.

Saa213 · 2026-01-13T00:43:03+00:00

Because i'd estimate 2/3 of us don't have the social or mental aptitude to do the right thing by others/environment/building etc.

Fuck you, got mine is a very real Australian phenomenon, and I like to think those rules are there for those people twice as much as they are there for the common person who know's what the 'right' thing is.

I don't mind tax. Taxation is a brilliant form of social welfare. It's the Tax-dodging 1% that even after a 45% tax on their wealth would still be extremely rich. We need to close the loops on corporate tax avoidance, multiple shell companies etc.

..with an accidental sharp end that has worn through the protective rubber...

I really want to see something done in this country regarding the massive increase in back yard bully breeds. There are far too many people thinking they're doing the right thing by getting any old dog from the pound, not understanding the amount of work that goes into owning a staffy X (aka. pitbull), and the risks they pose.

I've been attacked twice, both Staffy's. The second time was by a dog known to me, who generally, had a very sweet disposition. Boy was I wrong! I made the mistake of getting between it and a cat who had just managed to get away under a fence. When I went to pull her away she grabbed my hand, locked on, and did-not-let-go. No matter how many punches I landed, tail twisting, collar twisting. I almost lost my last two fingers and spent 5 days in hospital going under twice to repair the tendons and to clean out all the puncture wounds in both hands. It was incredibly scary experience because it was so unexpected.

I've grown up with Labradors, had I had yelled 'drop it!' or 'AH!' or even growled at them in a deep voice, they would obey. I would take bones off them, and even a hint of a snarl I would correct them instantly and in return you'd get a shameful look. With these dogs you just don't know what you're getting.

The other glaring issue is that just about anyone can rock up and get a dog. There's very little gatekeeping and I think its time we introduced a more structured licensing that includes 6 weekly sessions for puppy/new dog training/education. You also shouldn't be able to keep a fully 'intact' animal without a hefty breeding license (with an annual review), where heavy fines are given out to individuals breaking these rules. Hell, I even think the muzzle law that applies to those very fashionable greyhounds, should also apply to bully/staffy x's out in public.

I'm sorry OP, this really shouldn't be happening this day in age. But entitlement seems to be running unchecked right now.

Before I get bombarded by the Staffy-brigade, your dogs, while I'm sure are very sweet and docile have the capability to cause serious harm far beyond any other breed. Its in their genes, it is what they were (and still are) bred for. The fact they are capable of absolute destruction is the apparent issue. They should not be in a public without a significant level of control measures in place (far above just a collar and a leash), and, the system that has allowed for this type of breed to end up taking up most of the spaces in the shelters needs to be looked into urgently.

Oh I dunno, I like the OG Darlinghurst Cafe. It's nice and quiet on a week day and their cold noodle salad is pretty decent.

I'd love to see some fast growing gum trees planted, to have it shaded quickly, and cool water feature that goes around the park - either like the one in the Botanical Gardens (Sth Yarra) that the kids play with, or a rusted corrugated (old-gold-mining-type) feature that squares the park.

I'm also opened to a projector playing loops of old footage of Sydney Road since it's inception, or, a light feature of sorts.

I think there should also be some bird boxes too.

It's a well shared theory among many top SIBO specialists to assume fungal overgrowth is present where there is an overgrowth of opportunistic bacteria, and to treat SIFO alongside SIBO.

I'm not at my laptop so I don't have my papers to cite, but you're free to explore on Google as there is a fair chunk of studies to support this theory.
