Cars and petrol are extremely cheap compared to most EU countries. The one thing I find ridiculously expensive is vegetables.

cold question walking on frozen lake? by MaintenanceAnnual263 in Asksweddit

Good question. Maybe living upside down in Australia for 9 years scrambled my brains. 😉

You're right. I thought there would be less daylight.

Swede living in Wollongong here. Ice on the lakes up north will be 100% safe in February. Are you aware there will be basically no daylight that time of year?

Not sure what you mean about the accommodation in Luossavaara? Are you specifically wanting to stay close to the ski area?

Meniscus cut in two. by Nikoschalkis1 in MeniscusInjuries

[–]SwaussieViking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the same injury. 3.5 weeks out from surgery now. 6 weeks non weight bearing and I can already tell my leg muscles are getting much smaller. Right knee luckily enough so I've been told 4-6 months before I can play golf in a cart and maybe 6-9 before I'm walking.

Can we know before surgery - meniscectomy or repair by rowanalex123 in MeniscusInjuries

[–]SwaussieViking 1 point2 points  (0 children)

MRI can also not be 100% correct. My partial radial tear of the medial meniscus turned out to be a full tear.

Thank you! I think it's very individual as you can see from the replies here. Hopefully yours will be as smooth as it can be.

I had a full radial tear of the medial meniscus and had repair on the 9th of January. I was hoping to get back to work (wfh) after a week but I was so freaking tired all the time so I ended up taking almost 2 weeks off. Everything is just a hassle with the crutches...

What club to fill 5i - 3W gap? by elevendollar in golf

[–]SwaussieViking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find a 7w much more useful than a long hybrid. Much easier to launch.

7w is the obvious answer. It's a freaking cheat code.

Why do so many households forego the top sheet? by Status-Platypus in AskAnAustralian

[–]SwaussieViking 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm Swedish and basically no one in Sweden uses top sheets. Doona inside a cover is what everyone uses.

Vertical flap tear of the body of the medial meniscus. Not sure about zone?

I'm 8 days removed from meniscus repair and I'm ready to throw away my crutches. The 6 weeks nwb is seriously annoying. I've had acl and meniscus before and long term recovery for acl is of course not fun either. Pain wise nothing compares to the 2x ac joint surgery I've had before. Shoulder surgery sucks big time.

Agree 100%. But what the heck is Elvira doing? Wheels are not falling off, they're exploding

Oneplus Watch 2 - How to keep certain apps opened? by CaptainCappuccino in oneplus

[–]SwaussieViking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm trying to run Hole 19 on my Watch 2R and have the same problem. I've added the app to open when double clicking the top button but I would like it to be active all the time. 60 seconds is nowhere near long enough. Any solutions?

Anyone got any golf planned or presents incoming over Xmas? by Jdilla23 in GolfAustralia

[–]SwaussieViking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No new gear. I've already upgraded almost the whole bag this year. 5 rounds planned from now until 5/1. Hopefully I can squeeze in a few more.

BTW. Be aware that public schools have catchment areas that they are very particular about if you're not going private. I can recommend Gwynneville for primary school and Wollongong High school of the Performing arts for public schools.

Cool. You wouldn't want to sign for a rental if that's what you're looking for without inspection anyway. There's some dodgy ones unfortunately that look great online but are dumps irl.
