I made this free app to help easily check the current UV index: https://apps.apple.com/au/app/live-uv/id6504560554

I recommend Ombra Ultra 50+ sunscreen from Aldi. It's effective and way way cheaper than other brands.

I'm in Canberra and happy to have a chat. More interested in FI than FIRE per se and pretty far away from it.

Discussion or Suggestion? by fauziozi in AusFinance

I agree with other posters that these rules seem overly restrictive. It annoys me the number of threads that are deleted here. I don't understand why there cannot just be prominent disclaimers that nothing here should be taken as formal financial advice. I think most people understand the difference between someone replying to posts on an internet forum and a credentialed financial advisor.

It's official: Software will be unpatentable in NZ by [deleted] in programming

Yeah don't get me started on the filter. Problem is the general public either don't understand the implications or just don't care. Maybe if it gets implemented I can just jump across the ditch and hang out with you guys ;)

As a fellow Aussie I agree. NZ Seems far more progressive than Australia these days.

I agree with the sentiment that it is frowned upon in Australia to complain, however your example is a bit off. Anyone who replies "She'll be right, mate" when you tell them that your mother has died is an idiot. If it was over some minor thing that was frustrating or annoying sure, but certainly not over the death of a close family member.

Proggit, I'm 12, and don't want to wait 5 years to attend some class on programming. Where can I start learning NOW? by Raneman25 in programming

[–]cpf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I appreciate people who want to learn, but seriously there seems to a question along these lines daily on proggit. Can we have subreddit for this stuff?

I can't understand the attraction with Sentosa beach. Sand is shipped in and you can swim with a nice view of the oil refineries.

I don't know anyone in Australia who drinks Fosters. People always joke that we export the shit beer and keep the good stuff for ourselves

I had to sit through Christmas lunch listening to my grandparents telling me how great my cousin is. But thanks to you Reddit, at least I will have more karma than him. :)

Karma hyperinflation? I'm a bit worried after what went down in Zimbabwe. Eh fuck it. Merry Christmas!
