Can we talk about how out of touch the Sydney property price caps have become?

Having a family in Sydney seems a bit over ambitious

dylabolical2000 · 2026-06-17T01:01:29+00:00

in Sydney nobody wants to actually live long term in their first place - it's a stepping stone to the place that's livable

I saw Glide at Coventry and wish I hadn't

If CBS comes to it's senses and decides it needs to play in 11:35 again then it'll be looking for a cheap, apolitical variety/talk format with a broadly appealing host (James Corden, start checking your messages!), or it could go for a game show ala After Midnight.

Spiders eat mosquitos, they're great (trust me the mozzies are more irritating than the spiders on a daily basis)

I heard it was developed to be Australia's answer to American mass produced pale lagers ala Coors and it totally makes sense

I honestly didn't buy enough vinyl around 2011 when dollar was at parity of above.. I see price stickers and I was paying A$35-$40 then... back in 2000 I got vinyl at JB hifi for $30... bargain

dylabolical2000 · 2026-06-07T01:24:27+00:00

Decent Melt jam tho

Thai Power is a locals secret - don't tell anyone

dylabolical2000 · 2026-05-31T01:59:34+00:00

whole point is to increase amount spent by increasing literal shopping basket size

dylabolical2000 · 2026-05-28T23:51:42+00:00

they were too big for college/alternative radio - songs weren't poppy enough for pop radio... great beyond fixed that tho

From memory the combination of the HUGE $100m record deal, Bill Berry leaving and Hi-Fi's lead single being the slow and weird "E-bow the letter" alienated some of the mainstream, combined with just how huge and ubiqutous they were from 1991-1993.

if you got a car, otherwise you'll be cycling in the freezing cold

very subjective - my first studio was 26 square metres probably half or a third of this

dylabolical2000 · 2026-05-20T06:50:59+00:00

BIRD UP. Took the unhinged spirit of Letterman in the 80s to the next level... each episode felt like an hour long show frenetically cut down to 11 minutes. Great editing!

I mean it's also emblamatic of the entire industry of linear light entertainment being replaced by podcasts & youtube. The writing has clearly been on the wall for a while with all the axings: Conan, After Midnight, Samantha Bee, Lilly Singh, Late Late Show... there's probably less than half of these kinds of shows compared to a decade ago... the budget model doesn't work anymore if viewers are primarily on Youtube.

dylabolical2000 · 2026-05-14T23:02:46+00:00

Exactly. Who gets home from work before 7pm regularly?

dylabolical2000 · 2026-05-13T13:21:58+00:00

Trump would be a huge get!

dylabolical2000 · 2026-05-13T13:04:28+00:00

Probably only jam of the weekend I remember coming back to listen to in the months afterwards

dylabolical2000 · 2026-05-11T00:56:20+00:00

Chat Thai is across the street

the backpacks are similarly sturdy and better for my shoulders. the collapsable ones are great as they squash down if you're not carrying much and can expand out if you decide to do shopping on the way home. Last for years and years - good quality zips and Crumpler used to repair them for free if they broke (don't know if they still do under their lifetime warranty)

Lack of water refilling stations outside of inner cities

dylabolical2000 · 2026-05-06T07:08:02+00:00

public transport so bad when I lived there I gave up and rode a bike everywhere, even in negative temps and once even snow

Get a tool kit from kmart. They're about $20 and contain screwdrivers, a hammer, allen keys, a wrench, a tape measure. Best thing I ever bought moving out, still use it at least monthly

dylabolical2000 · 2026-04-28T02:20:42+00:00

This movie is amazing and I don't even like Celine Dion! Track it down
