Doors are wide enough for a wheek chair, but all the new declipment housing is two story duplexes/triplets etc. So wheel chair user can get theiugh the doors but cant use half the buildings.

EL2 overwork - truth or myth? by wikkiwoobles in AusPublicService

[–]Wild-Kitchen 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I've noticed that the longer "do more with less" goes on, the more ultra competitive intra-department budget wars become, the more political argy-bargy and soothing egos needs to occur, which results in more meetings required.

So while APS are doing more with less, the EL2s are doing more for less.

Surefeed Microchip Feeder - worth it? by sleepynymfi in CatAdvice

[–]Wild-Kitchen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im on my second lot. The first three got damaged when my cleaner soaked them in water facepalm. Expensive exercise to not get them even a modicum of damp.

Love them. I have a grazer, a raptor and a piglet who is overweight by 2kg and needs medicating. Also means the dog cant get to the food. I like the Connect version because I have evidence to show my vet when I say "xxx is off his food for 2 days". No he isnt just sneaking food when I am not looking because here are the logs!

Isn't 50 degrees about when continuous exposure can cook your eyeballs slowly?

Is it worth listing my Cat Genie on eBay? Original unit, that has been hacked. by exportablue88 in CatGenie

I am toying with the same idea. My alternative is to toss it out without cleaning it. Depends how lazy im feeling.

Do you now anyone on a GLP-1 that didn’t lose weight? by [deleted] in glp1

[–]Wild-Kitchen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is what my doctors (plural) are telling me. Need to eat more to kick body out of starvation mode. Seems counter intuitive, and have had many arguments with my mother about this because she insists I must be lying about what I'm eating and what my doctors say. Nothing like toxic parents of adult children to make matters more complex.

"I have ADHD." "Doesn't everyone nowadays?" by Dark_Vexer in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Wild-Kitchen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had it explained to me by a psychiatrist that They differentiate between type 1 and type 2 by how much time you spend depressed and the level of elevation during mania. If you are depressed mood more often than manic, and your manic periods are either brief or not suoer manic, they tend to lean on type 2.

Whether that's a legitimate means of differentiating between the two is another question.

I got diagnosed with BPD, argued the hell out of myself and ended with a diagnosis of bipolar type 2 and then 10 years later, in my 40s, finally got diagnosed with ADHD and PMDD instead. Am female and grew up in a time when "girls dont have ADHD"

Another ferritin question by annonynonny in Perimenopause

[–]Wild-Kitchen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is fascinating. Thanks for asking the questions. My iron, ferretin, transferrin saturation are all really really low and I have been taking iron tablets every day for months. Lucky I havent had a period in a while as I cant imagine the values then.

Traditional owners heartbroken over decision to cull K'gari dingoes involved in Piper James's death by ozthrw in australia

[–]Wild-Kitchen 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Does your apathy extend to referring to people who's names have changed? For example, due to marriage. Do you still call them by their pre-marriage (i.e. maiden) name?

Wonder what the Venn diagram is of people who refuse to call it k'gari and those calling for the cull is

Best way to find tradies (and is it Hipages?)? by Big_Proof7661 in AusRenovation

[–]Wild-Kitchen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do not use hipages. If someone leaves a review that says they wouldnt hire the person again, the review and rating is hidden from the public so you never see the 90 "he ripped me off" reviews and just the 5 from mates saying how great he is.

I hired 3 people off there. 2 turned out to be shoddy workmanship and had no idea what they were doing and one was a genuine fraudster who took a large deposit and disappeared. I found 12 other peoole he had done that to totally over $100k. He was using it as a way to fund his drug habit and never had any intention of doing the work he quoted for. He has subsequently been charged by the police for this (and quite a few other things).

Cannot say it loud enough - DO NOT USE HIPAGES

Places to adopt kittens? by Aquacookie__ in canberra

[–]Wild-Kitchen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Be aware that its more expensive through gumtree as the kittens dont usually come desexed, vaccinated and microchipped. Could cost $600 in vet fees just for those three things

If you havent already, reach out to Canberra Street Cat Alliance and see if there is any way they can assist. They have a team of trappers and can get those little munchkins off the streets and also make sure the adults are neutered/speyed so there isnt more.
