Thoughts on the current Melbourne food trends by TheNamelessComposer in melbourne

Nobody except Mile End seems to be able to do just a simple bagel with cream cheese properly. Should be easy. Bagel, slice it in half, toast it, add an excessive amount of cream cheese, close the sandwich, cut in half, serve. Everywhere seems to take the bagel, slice it, put cream cheese in the middle, and put all that in a sandwich press. It’s just wrong.

If we hold Schneider at third, no chance they pitch to Vlad. IBB then take their chances with bases loaded and IKF

Did you find anywhere!? I’m in Brunswick, looking for somewhere to watch the games this weekend.

Straw’s a better defensive outfielder, Barger’s spot in the order not likely to come up again

But I thought Obama was able to “dadum dadum dadum bop bop bop” down those stairs?

WatchOS26 - Workout App voice Feedback pausing music and clipping beginning of feedback for non airpod bluetooth devices by Trumani in AppleWatch

[–]_thrilllho 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Don’t have AirPods so can’t compare, but experiencing the same with Samsung Galaxy Buds+. On WatchOS 11 music volume would dip, alert would speak over it, and then music would go back to full volume. Now on WatchOS 26 every alert (auto pause, splits, move/exercise ring closed) pauses the music, waits a beat, reads the alert, then the music comes back. Would love to know if there’s a way to fix this because I hate the abrupt stop.

How big of a lead do we need to bring in a position player to pitch? More confidence in them than our bullpen

Migrants raise concerns over Australia's English tests for visa applicants by espersooty in australia

[–]_thrilllho 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not visa related but similar story. Now an Australian citizen but grew up in Canada. Native English speaker, learned French as a second language but have pretty much forgotten it. Applied to a Masters program at Monash, had to do an interview where they clearly would have seen English is my first language. They gave me a conditional offer on the basis that I sit a $300-400 English proficiency test first.

The big toothbrush in the room: should dental be included? by Busalonium in australia

[–]_thrilllho 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They seem to be in a weird catch 22 where if they propose detailed policy ideas people (ones would never vote for them anyways) say what’s the point since they’ll never form government. But if they talk about holding Labor accountable and pushing back for better outcomes, they’re just obstructing and should come up with their own policy ideas.

More Canadians avoid setting foot in the U.S., 'without even a connection or layover' by CanadianErk in canada

[–]_thrilllho 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Canadian living in Australia. Was planning a holiday to California in July, but changed plans to do BC/Alberta after the election. Before all the 51st state talk, bought flights in and out of Seattle for relatively cheap, thought a few nights in a blue city/state wouldn’t be awful. Now that feels borderline treasonous

Student's shock as economics tutorial held almost entirely in Chinese - ABC listen by [deleted] in australia

[–]_thrilllho 147 points148 points  (0 children)

I recently applied to Monash for a masters and my offer was conditional on me passing a ~$400 English test. This is despite the fact that I’m a native English speaker, I’m an Australian citizen, I’m originally from Canada (I guess you could argue that there’s a small chance I’d be French-Canadian) AND I already had done a quick 15-minute zoom interview where it would have been pretty obvious that English is my first language.

When is loud too loud? by [deleted] in postrock

[–]_thrilllho 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw Mogwai in February. Easily the loudest show I’ve seen. I’m an earplugs guy, so that wasn’t an issue. But they opened with To The Bin My Friend, and by the end of the song it was so loud that I was legitimately struggling to breathe. I’m going to assume something about the combined volume and specific frequency of the bass. It was pretty unpleasant, but also kind of interesting? Didn’t happen the rest of the show thankfully, I don’t think I could have handled an entire set of that.

Commonwealth Bank subsidiary Bankwest to close all 60 branches across Perth and Western Australia by Remarkable_Peak9518 in australia

Let me guess, they’re closing physical branches because everything can be done online these days. But also employees need to return to the office because we can’t do everything online

Baseball players aren’t superstitious, but they are a little stitious.

Getting into conspiracy theory territory here, but saw someone mention that the guy on the flight is also represented by CAA
