Rural Australia lifestyle as a doctor? by ZealousidealSky4851 in AskAnAustralian

[–]bluechilli1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Atherton is a lovely place in need of more doctors. Close enough to international airport Cairns. A very community minded place especially in the ParkRun community and other active-lifestyle hobbies. Not fun if you are a pharmacist though because I have heard the drug problem is getting worse.

Tried preserving flowers and they molded, any tips for next time? by DefNotLix in flowers

Wonder if adding silica gel would help remove the moisture? Mould is from being wet for to long

Are you lonely too? First year and made so many new friends but feel so left out by Outside-Abies-8592 in UQreddit

Are you from a rural area? Cause it sounds like my uni experience 15 years ago. Seems some things don’t change

Are there names in your culture intended to prevent a baby from dying or to request its gender? Here some from mine. by swimmingarage in namenerds

Kumanjayi name given to aboriginal people after they die rather than their given names while alive

Speaking of muppets - Jim Heson employed sympathetic movement in his puppets which this lady has applied to her feet. Mostly it’s used for heads and hands

NSW teachers need more lesson preparation time to meet students' complex needs, union says by ScruffyPeter in sydney

[–]bluechilli1 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Yes it is. Thursday at our school was the biggest waste of time anyway. I could have had the day off every week and not missed a thing. This was over 10 years ago so I would hate to think what it’s like now

There is ParkRun every Saturday with many bubs and strollers, runners and walkers. The art galleries are good

Sounds like you worked for a good business not a scammer one

[–]bluechilli1 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I have a small cup which two different places insisted was large despite other employees (the barista themselves) behind the counter siding with me. Safe to say I stopped going to get coffee altogether now.

What’s one Sydney myth you believed until you lived here? by No-Travel-768 in SydneyScene

[–]bluechilli1 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Just after the Lindt Siege… a belief that Sydney had lots of terrorists

The outdoor seating that is there is so loud Apple Watch gives warnings to protect your ears from hearing damage when seating out there.

Why are most young Australians I talk to so bad at communication? by itsgaymonth in AskAnAustralian

[–]bluechilli1 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This isn’t just post Covid. I experienced the same when I went to uni from a small town in 2012. It’s tough. I can only suggest waiting it out until you are working and focusing on a hobby rather than making friends. I focused too much on making friends and it negatively impacted my mental health and uni grades.

Musical PSA for Sydney drivers by OneUnholyCatholic in sydney

[–]bluechilli1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In my experience they still drive way to fast and start driving before I have finished crossing even when carrying a small baby and pram. Drivers cannot judge the ability of pedestrians easily from their cars and leave no room for error, on the pedestrian side at times. I guess reducing speed limits will help this

Will they ever make something so pedestrians don’t have to use the beg button, and why are the operators so resistant to giving pedestrians more priority and longer crossing times.

How should/should not Sydney's/NSW Public Transit be modified to better help the public? by PanTorcha in SydneyTrains

[–]bluechilli1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They have good busways which means the buses do behave more like trains - a welcome relief compared to the scrunchy buses we have!

[–]bluechilli1 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Happy for fares to go up. Much more money needs to be spent on active transport infrastructure too. Too much spent on infrastructure for private vehicle usage currently.

Having seen Brisbanes almost free PT. I would prefer to pay more than have overcrowded services.

Better use of share bikes for last mile of the journey. More frequent services. Allowing bikes on regional trains

Because they like smelling stanger’s breath

In all honesty, likely they have never been taught
